70 o-Strong at Bat and
Fielded Well.

The Dolphin won another shutout
game. the victims being the Metropoli-
tan Baptist Church, of the Church
League. Wasson was responsible, being
master of the game at all stages. The
sailor boys were too strong at the bat
for their opponents. and their fielding
was almost perfect, only two scratchy
errors being made. one of which was by
the star shortstop, Mendel, his first in
eight games.
Only two of the MetropolitanS got as
far as third bag and he was coaxed off
nicely by the Dolphin catcfser Amey,
who threw TO second to catch the man
going TO that base, while Smith returned
a perfect throw, catching tho man at
the plate.
In the eighth inning the heavy-hitting
Dolphins got a total of ten bases out
of four successive balls pitched Amey
and Smith got three-baggers, while Bar
thaIow and Mendel followed with a two
bagger each Summary:
