Mt. Pleasant Congregationals Won Out
in Last Inning

The Calvary NJ. E. and the Mt Pleasant
Congresationalists had to go the limit in
their game yesterday before the result was
declared. The game was beauty and was
witnessed by large crowd of the followers
OF section A. who were enthusiastic in
their applause Both teams had many adj
mirers but those of the Mt Pleasant had
the pleasure of seeing their boys win in
the ninth by heavy batting, leaving the
final score 1915 in their favor.
Up to the ninth Calvary was ahead In
the first they scored twice when Graves
and Lord were the bulls eye for Scheckefls
and were brought in on F. Symanoskis
two-bagger. In the third Lord hit
again and scored on hits by Kerr and
Symanoski after making a pretty steal of

the fifth BeaH came in for a three-bagger
and scored on Chittenden's hit past short
stop. Their prospects for more runs were
killed In the sixth by a double on

Clements out at second. and Lord

Graves failed to connect Sheckells hit

fielding, and trying to throw Johnny out
at first by a south-paw throw made a
bad one, landing Sheckells safe and al
lowing Stecker to make third. Beall fol-

attempted to field the hit but couldn't get

blood in his eye. as he had punched three
times during the game. He picked out

for a nap. He never won any medals for
a 1O0-yard sprint either. Clements and
Torney each followed with a hit. which

than enough to win.
Sheckells was wild and succeeded in
singing seven of his opponents. Lord get

turn at the stick there was nothing doing.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LEAGUE.
Team Standing.
Today's Game.
Mt. Vernon vs.. Douglas, White Lot.
Fourth Boys Too Strong for the Sixth.

q
There was a much more interesting game
of ball at Mt Pleasant yesterday afternoon
than was expected by most of the Sunday
School League fans, in view of the positions
of the contestants. Sixth played very
snappy game and pushed the leaders so
hard in the middle stage of the contest that
Fourth deemed it advisable to make a change
of pitchers, and the game bunch of trailers
had a goodly portion of the spectators
cheering them on in their effort to land a
second victory.
Wheatley. who broke the rim off that big
cipher in Sixths win column by taking
Foundry into camp, worked hard to land his
game. He was not hit as freely as the
score would indicate. there being several
ffuke hits, three going to left field that
should have been outs but for poor judg-
ment, and he did more than his share with
the stick, getting single and two three
baggers. He was splendidly supported by
the infield, especially by Rider, who COPIED
several hard chances at second.
Fourth was again in good FORM Its
play being much superior to that Of its
last game. against Calvary. and the lead
ers had the game well in hand after Cum
nngham took the center of the diamond
The trailers became dangerous only in the
eighth, when Duffy and Herbert, the first
two up each singled, but Rider popped out
to Bielaski. Mcdonald followed suit to War
man and Duffy was down at third on Hamp-
tons grounder to Bielaski.
Blelaski. who led the league in batting
before the game, failed to connect safely
but Jones discovered his batting lamp So
luton and hit EN- out at thousand-per-
cent clip. Bishops great base running was
feature of the game, he scoring twice
from second on pokes to the infield

Navy vs.. Commerce and Labor.
"Aggies" Fielded Poorly, but Batted
Hard Enough to Win.

The Agriculture boys downed the Interior
Department team yesterday afternoon by
hard and timely hitting. the score being 10
to Z. The Farmers played poor fielding
game, eleven errors being chalked up
against them. Field started the twirling
for the Agriculture team and held the In
terror boys down in fine style, only three
hits being made off his delivery. After the
seventh inning he changed places with San
ders who was playing third and the latter
allowed one hit. Madden started on the
rubber for the losers. but after the
Farmers" had secured eleven hits and nine
runs he gave way to McCabe, who did bet
ter.
Taylor did good work with the stick for
the winners Nash secured two out of the
four hits for Interior. Tracy played a star
game at first for the losers.
The Agriculture boys secured three hits
and three runs in each of the first and sec
ond innings. but failed to score again until
the seventh, when batting rally took place
and five runners scampered home. Two
more came in in the eighth which gave
their total of thirteen runs. Interior Sc
cured a run in the first inning on base
on balls, two stolen bases and an error.
They were BANKED from then on until the
sixth, when four scores were made Two
more followed in the seventh. which ended
their scoring. The score:

Calvary Baptist Won Smuggling Match.

Those who braved the heat of yesterday
afternoon to witness the game between
Calvary Baptist and First Congregational
were rewarded by seeing a smuggling match,
in which Calvary came off victorious, the
score being II to 7. The credit Of the VIC
tory belongs to Goodman, who had the
Congregational boys guessing all the way,
Neis being the only man to connect safely
more than once. The victory again places
Calvary tie for second place with Douglas.
Up until the sixth inning It looked as
though 1t would be shut-out for Good
man. but in that inning Congregational got
busy and scored brace Of runs. They
added FIVE more to these In the eighth,
which brought the total up to seven Cal
vary scored repeatedly, and the outcome
was never In doubt after the third inning.
The catching of Keller for Congregational
was almost of the professional order. while
the batting and base running of Westevelt
was excellent. The game on the White
Lot this evening between Douglas and Mt.
Vernon should prove good one as both
teams are evenly matched

this three of the four errors made by Foun-
dry resulted in runs.
The Freshmen were first to score. getting
