War Beat Justice in Poor Fielding
Game

The Department Of Justice and War
teams fought out hard-hitting contest
yesterday afternoon on the White Lot
ellipse. in which the latter won out by
score Of IL to 10. Both teams played rag
ged ball in the field, but for the poor
playing of the tailenders they stood good
chance to win, they touched up Fnne
CAMS delivery for a total of eleven hits.
The Beckett brothers performed the battery
stunt for the losers, and were in good form.
Asquith played a fine game at third for
the winners, he also lead the team in bat
ting, getting three hits.
The War boys opened the first inning by
scoring two runs. In the second they
again sent two runners home, while the
Justice team did not score in the first they
succeeded in getting three in the second.
The War boys did not score again until
the fourth, when by punching their hits
and with the help of several errors they
scored six runs. Their last two score came
in the sixth when two tallies were scored.
Justice secured three runs in the third,
which gave them lead of two over the
War, but they did not hold it long. Their
last scores came in the fifth when four
runners came home. Bielaski and Houle-
han pulled off neat double play.

st. Paul's Good Batting Defeated St.
Patrick's

One of the fastest games of the season
was pulled off yesterday afternoon on the
Marquette grounds, at I'd street and Flor
ida avenue, when the ST. Paul team de-
feated the st. Patrick nine by a score of
to 4. in one hour and twelve minutes
Up to the eighth inning 1t looked as If the
winners would score a shutout, but the
losers punched several hits and three run
ners crossed the plate, and in the last an
other came home. Freeman was on the
rubber for the winners and pitched good
game, allowing but six hits and securing
eight strikeouts. Crow did good work
with the willow, getting three hits The

the Athletic club wouldn't have it that way.
They slammed the sphere before 1t had
