game at Thirteenth and D streets north

kept the large crowd excited through

Both pitchers were badly supported
during the first few innings, but after
the third the game was marked by clean
fielding. Jimmie Carr went into tbs

Eddie Mcfarland. Comiskey's hard

lead among the American League bats
men, and now heads the eight men who
are SO fortunate as to bat over 300.
Crawford and. Keeler are tied for second
honors. The American League batting
figures are almost distressing in their
paucity of hitting. While there are
only eight batters standing over 300,
there are no less than thirty-f1ve hit

The Athletics lead in team batting and
Cleveland in extra bases.
Weaver heads the catchers, and four
pitchers have perfect fielding records.
Carr leads the first basemen, and Lajoie
the second sackers. Gleason leads at
third, and George Davis at short, while
Chick Stahl and Fultz still have clean
outfield records. Cleveland leads in team

Greere. of the Interiors, according to
the best authority, is wrong In his con-
tention that there is such a thing as
home team and visiting team. He
claims that a team. after having TO take
the team plays II is entitled to the
outs. Tossing the coin is the unwritten
law of the league.
The captains of .he different teams as
they now stand are: Navy. Hughes;
Justice, kllensC hmidt; Library. Clark;
War, Shaw; Commerce and Labor, LIN
ney: Agriculture. Sanders: Treasury.
Fulcher; Interior, Raab; Postoff1ce, Ba-
con.
The game scheduled between War and
Interior on June q Will be postponed to
June "a owing to the fact that the
grounds will be used that afternoon for
other purposes.
Both the Commerce and Labor and
the Navy boys were much disappointed
that they could not oia-- the game last
Wednesday. Rain prevented what was
expected to be an interesting contest.
Torney's playing at short on the Com
nerce ana Labor team is something
well worth seeing. His agility in hand
ling himself and accuracy in fielding and
throwing stamp him as one of the crack
! infieiGErs in the league.
Too many players after one ball and
no one getting 1t, happens entirely too
