st. Stephens Gave Sixth a Terrible
Drubbing.

While 0unton was losing to the Calvary
Methodists at the White Lot yesterday
afternoon st. Stephens dumped the white
wash bucket all over the Sixth boys ON the
Mount Pleasant field and wrested the lea
dership from Gunton, who is now tied
with Fourth for second place
The hill game was repetition of the
one of the day previous. only bit worse
Sixth not only hit weakly but played mis-
erably afield, there being many errors OF

10 actual misplays. which put them out of
the running from the start.
Wheatfy was booked to hand EN- out for

They managed to get man on base in
every inning except the last two through
bases on balls or errors but failed to con-
meet when a hit meant a run. In the fifth,
after Mcdonald had singled, Xander
slipped up on an easy chance and Gordon
hit safely to center, but Brown was not
to be denied the honor of the first shut-out
of the season. and, amid great applause,
struck out the three next up on ten pitched
balls.

Calvary outplayed aunton All Around.

The Calvary Methodist won their game
from Gunton yesterday in the first inning(
when Kerr made his two-bagger. Gunton
was first at the bat. Asqufth was given
his base on balls. but was caught trying to
steal second. Woodward and Bielaski fan

error. Graves reached the first corner on an
error Of Riley's; Springsguth famed: Lord

Lord scored on Kerr's hit for two bases
The Guntons tried hard to follow suit. but
Symanoski was too much for them. He was
found for five hits, but they were not in
the right spot, Their only score was made
OH kerr's wild throw to the plate in the
seventh.
= Gunton was weak on fielding. Seven err
rors, or one for each run by the Metho
dists, tell the story.
The Calvary played a beautiful game,
both in the field and with the stick. Their
eight hits netted fifteen bases.
The work Of Graves as backstop was
great. Only one attempt to steal bases on
him was made, and the "would-be' fell
by the wayside.
The seventh inning was king of all.
Credit is due Quantreile for keeping the
Guntons down by his two darling stops.
Lord was unkind when, with two men on
bases and two gone, he made a three-base
hit.

NATIONAL B. B. COMMISSION.
Important Announcement Affecting
Ineligible Players.

In making public two decisions by the
national base tall commission it is announc-
ed that Commission holds that ineligible
players cannot be reinstated as national
agreement players without proper punish
ment or fines: nor can negotiations for their
release be entered into by clubs to which
such players belonged until they have been
properly reinstated."
This ruling was announced because the
name of Player Broderick of the Harris
burg team, who had violated his agreement
with the Brooklyn club, appeared in the Hist
of players for whose release Brooklyn de-
sired to negotiate. The protest of President
Kavanagh of the Southern League against
negotiations between the Brooklyn and the
Little Rock clubs for the purchase by the
latter of Pitcher Watts is sustained.
Watts was drafted from Little Rock and
partly paid for by Brooklyn and President
Kavanagh maintained that the National
League team had no right to dispose of
Watts services until full title to that
player had been secured. and the commits
sion declares this contention to be correct
The Brooklyn club is said to have ac-
Quiesced In both decisions.

1t looked strange to see Herring on the

some of the other teams would not like TO
get him.
Langley has ceased to notice the merry
sallies, and otherwise. of the crowd and

he must have consulted an oculist since last
season. He now has more hits than his
total for last year.

real article of ball-but many would like to
see Bally use his big stick with some good
team.
Opening day in the Departmental League
did not diminish in the least the usual big
crowds at the various grounds in the Sum-

what base ball crazy town Washington is.

morrow.
1t has been noted that more than one run
has been scored by the opposition for failure
to back up the ffeiders. No matter how
good a man is. the ball will get by him
sometimes. Play the game, and don't take
chances!
Charlie King is putting up his same steady

Foundry-had better not take st. Stephens
lightly. Its fielding in both games has been

1t certainly is hitting the ball.

Without a Decision.

Before the Eutaw Athletic Club of Balti-

a ten-round draw. The match was accord

Stein proved to know more about the
game than Lowe. who had the advantage
of height and slight advantage in reach.

Lowe proved very game and tough, but
Stein had shade the better of the con-

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE.
Navy Had Easy Time Beating Post
Office Bows

The timely hitting of the navy team in
the fourth inning of the third game of the
Departmental League which was played
On the White Lot yesterday afternoon be-
tween the Navy and Post Office teams,
clinched the game for them, which they
won by a score of IL to 8. 1 nthe fourth
inning base on balls, six hits and an err
ror gave the winners six runs.
V. Waller was on the rubber for the
Post Office team. but was not in his usual
fine form and gave way to Day in the
fifth. after ten hits and twelve runs had
been scored by the Navy boys Burlingame
served them up for the winners, and at
times was wild. But for the excellent
fielding of his team mates he would have
probably lost the game.
Both teams started well. The losers,
going first to the bat, did not score al
though they made two hits. In their turn
up the Navy boys connected for hit, and.
with an error to help, scored the first run.
Post Office was BANKED in the second,
while Navy again secured a hit and one
run. The score was tied in the third by
giving four bases on balls. and, with an
error by him. the losers scored two runs.
This ended their scoring until the sixth.
when Bacon secured single and scored on
Sullivan's error of Tierney's drive.
The Navy boys won the game in the next
inning. when they scored six runs. In the
fifth two hits. a base on balls and an err
ror resulted in four more runs. The
seventh, which was the last, showed two
hits for the winners, but this was their
last.
Bryan, the heavy hitter of the Sunday
School League led his team with the stick,
he getting three hits out of five times up.
