uarinp classes with the best the league

Wolfe has about the worst luck or any OF
the pitchers He invariably holds his OPP
ponents to but few hits but loses his games
as a result of the poor support accorded
him by his team mates
Leach. who put up such a good game at
short for Library in the early part of the
season, has returned from his vacation, and
made his presence known in the Interior
game.
If some Of the Justice players would pay
more attention to their playing and team
work and not be so careful of their indi-
yidual averages they would have no reason
to criticise the scoring, and their team
would be greatly benefited and probably
stand much higher in the pennant race
Wars chief deficiency is in team work
This fact has been clearly shown in their
recent games. Play together, boys, and
follow the instructions of the captain. In
dividual effort seldom wins games.
Mahoney stood stock still and let one OF
C. Beckett's wicked shoots crack him in
the ribs but Venable refused to let him
go down.
to third base. We don't wonder at MS re-
fusal to pitch for Post Office, when we re-
fleet upon the rough way in which Interior
handled him on Wednesday. He always
delivers the goods with the bat. though
Two triples and three singles out OF hve

Asauith needs to take a brace. as his
playing is not up to his former standard.
The Post Office team has something quite
peculiar in the way OF record; Ihey
have played more games in single week
than any Of their rivals. This record was
acquired In the past week, when they
PLAYED three games-one on Monday, one
on wednesday ana one oii iiudS'
Agriculture is clinching its lead. From
the present outlook they will not be headed
The knowing ones, when they refer to the
race dub Agriculture as sure thlng. sun,
sure things have gone wrong in the. past.
Sanders is keeping up his stride and con-
tinues to clout the ball.
No dates have as yet been set upon for
the playing off of the two games postponed
on account of the sudden shower on Tues
dav afternoon. They were: War versus
Library, on the south diamond. and Justice
versus Treasury, on the west diamond.
Cant shorty" Hughes has returned from
a short visit to Atlantic CITY and partici-
uated in Wednesdays game against Com
merce and Labor. His presence was felt,
and II is evident that without him Navy
would not be nearly so good. He has DEM
onstrated right along that he knows an
the fine points of the game, and as leader
he hasn't peer in the league.
Any one not knowing the standing of the
different clubs and seeing Interior and JUS
tice play the game as they have been play
ing it recently would undoubtedly assume
that they were among the leaders.
