Lovers Of amateur baseball were treat
ed to the best the District could af-
ford yesterday in a series OF three
games which were arranged between
the champion teams Of Washington.
The contesting teams were the Fourth
Presbyterian. champion of the Church
League; St. Stephens Institute, which
won the bunting in the Capital City
League, and the Commissioners and
Norris Peters teams, which, with the
exception Of the KismetS. are easily
the two strongest Independent teams in
the city.
The championship is still undecided,
but the Commissioners and St Ste
phcn's must be considered out of the
running, as the former were defeated
by the Fourth Presbyterians, to l. and
by Norris Peters. in an eleven-inning
game. by to 3. while St Stephens was
boys by IL to 4.
Undisputed Champs.
By defeating St. Stephens the Fourth
Presbyterian team has gained the I'M
disputed interleague championship Of
the city, and Norris Peters holds a safe
claim to the independent championship.
Thus, to decide the amateur champion
ship of all amateur clubs, a game would
have to be arranged between these two
teams. 1t Is not at all unlikely that
this will be done. 1t is a tOss-up as to
which would win. and both are conf

VIII Donaldson, the crack twirIer Of

most credit for the victory. He twirled
a mastery game, holding his opponents
down to two safe hits. After the first
inning not a safety was made of him,
and in only one inning after the first
did more than three men face him. He
also dubbed out a two-base swat in the

Disregarded Public.
With a total disregard of the public
the entrants broke up the races BY de-
claring themselves out at the last min
ute. after the promoters of the meet
had innocently induced hundreds to at
tend on the score that the auto races
would be the principal attraction II
the day.
So badly confused did the program be-
come by these reprehensibIe tactics that
in several instances not even the
judges were able to tell what was going
on.

appreciation of the value Of an ObIiga-

racing.
