CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE.

CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE.
Ten more games VIII wind up the
league for this year.
Cars home run over the right field
fence was the first one this season. and
there were two men on bases when he
lined II over.
Hook has been playing third base for
the National Athletic Club during the
absence of Fitzpatrick IN New York
Al Ogle's finger. which was badly rip
ped, Is mending in good shape.
Norfolk seems 10 be the haven for all
Of the ball teams IN Washington.
JJseIton is perhaps the most erratic
twirler in the league, and is at his best
when the bases are nlled. with no one
out. He fields his position in style, hav-
ing eight assists, most of which were
in nipping men at the home pan.
Cranston got back behind the pad in
the exhibition game played between Car
roll and a scrub nine, and showed how
in the old days he was wont 10 hold
down DR.. Harry White, of the Chicago
Americans
Kramer on the Carroll Institute list is
in ali probability the most known Of the
old players that are now in the game.
He was playing when many or the
youngsters now playing with him were
IN short dresses.
Farrell was yanked out Of the game
against the National Athletic club de-
spite the fact that out Of three times
rod txsyira
hit made by AIoysius up to his exit
Kerr certainly was hammered by St
Stephens Institute, as II 10 even up Tor
the to / game he pitched against IL
His finger IS in very bad condition.
The National Athletic Club played an
other tie game, not with Carroll this
time however. but Aloysius, and the
North Capitol bunch should have won.
A few of the league games will be
transferred to the MI. Pleasant grounds
OF the Church league, If present plans
do not miscarry.
Conway has fallen down in his batting
somewhat. and his team feels the failing
keenly.
Myers ought 10 get over his grouchy
tactics when his pitcher is trying to do
his best Runs result if the battery IS
not working In harmony.
Cliff Warden plays a very quiet game.
but gets there most Of the time, and will
make good if he can only get enough
chances.
Gee, that's glorious fight for the lower
regions, and is awakening more interest
than the top race. It's any team
place now.
Hurney has been working hard with
his team, and says the hoodoo is thing
OF the past.
Curly Brown brought much joy TO his
large following when he hit for two
bases. his first safe one IN several games,
but then every player has an on day.
Curly is very valuable acquisition, and
would mean much 10 some minor league
team.
Kelly is a rafting good shOrtstop, and
nails many seemingly safe drives. At
the willow he is as good as they make
them, and heads his batting order.
Hughes. who covers the center garden
for the National galaxy. has a grand
whip and nails many run at the home
box. Brown attempted to come home
from third base and the throw was
high, but Myers got him in time. There
are several good whips. but the tend
ency to throw too much should be
avoided.
Bsrthelow, of the Columbia Athletic
Club, is back In the city. and may be
seen in some OF the games.
