PRINTING OFFICE LEAGUE.
Freshmen Beat Blanks By One Run.

That the players in the Government Print
ing Office League are lmbering up was
demonstrated by the fine game put up by
the Pressmen and Blanks at the Malone
lot yesterday. The score was kept down
to low water mark, the Pressmen winning
by tally of TO 3, and the game through
out was marked by sharp fielding and
heady work.
The Pressmen's victory was mainly due
to the effective pitching and batting of
Williams, who had fine control and served
Up his curves with strategic ability. He
also made a home run in the first, driv-
ing in a run ahead, and raped out fine
three-bagger in the fifth.
The fielding was snappy all through the
game, Coffey, the FRESHMAN right fielder,
especially distinguishing himself with two
fine catches, his running catch of Ravens
great drive in the sixth being on the SEN
sational order.
Singleton, the Blank pitcher, who has
heretofore been invincible, pitched stead
lily, but his delivery was connected with
frequently yesterday at crucial points in
the game. A large crowd of spectators

The CAROLS were not fortunate They
got many safe plunks as the other nine,
but Buscher had different ideas in regard
to generosity. Twice only did men squat
on first owing to his lack of control.
Despite the unequal score the game itself
was exceedingly interesting. Carroll Instf-
tute displayed energy and get-up-and-
go-itiveness spirit that they did not show
in their previous efforts Girard and Finley
were new additions but they had no OPP
portunity to show what they could do in

played upon the grounds of the league, at

Neither side did much in the way of field

score. Gardner, who was on the slab for
Immaculate, allowed fourteen men to go

The Man Behind it.

There's the man behind the gun,
And the man behind the loom;
There 5 the man behind the stove,
And the man behind the boom;
There the man behind the bank,
And the man behind the till:
There's the man behind the club,
And the man behind The quill;
There's the man behind the horse,
And the man behind the COW;
There's the man behind the hoe,
And the man behind the pillow;
There's the man behind the fist,
And the man behind the curse;
There's the man behind the pick,
And the man behind the hearse;
There's the man behind the jokes,
And the man behind the rimes;
But I'd rather be behind them all
Than the man behind the times.
