Ca1vary's Last Victory.


Calvary played her last game of the regu-
lar schedule yesterday and by virtue of
well-earned victory over the Fifth Baptists
frightened her hold upon the top rung of the
ladder. 1t is now up to Foundry to defeat
the Nets and Sixth Presbyterians, when she
will be on par with Calvary, which will
necessftate a play-off between these two
strong aggregations.

one game this year against the Nets. and
won 1t in easy fashion, got bunch that
he could put the kibosh on the league lead
Hester, were ready for slab duty. Carroll
was touched up for pair of singles in the
opening inning, good for a run, but Calvary
could do little with his slow tioaters after
that. errors being largely responsible for
the leaders two runs in the second. The
loss Of the game, however may be largely
attributed to CARROTS peculiar delivery,
which permitted base runners to get big
leads with the result that stolen bases were
the main factor in Calvary's victory. New

Post Offices Thirteenth Defeat.

War kept up it's winning streak on the
White Lot yesterday afternoon by defeating
Post Office to 2. thus making it thirteen
straight defeats for the Mailmen, who have
dropped from the first to the last place in
the race. Post Office got a fine start and
scored two runs in the first inning They
maintained this lead until the fifth, when
War tied it up. and after that Matthews, a
novice in the box for Post Office, weakened

War six runs and the game. Wolfe, who
served them UP for War, after getting off

dangerous.
The errors were few and the playing was
generally fast but for some subtle reason
the game looked slow and lacked interest
Donaldson and Ellis played good all
around game for War, the former getting
a three-bagger with the bases loaded. Tay-
lor also got two timely hits that scored
runs.
Bradley started the game with a scratch
hit to short and took second on an error.
Fenton flew out to center and Orrison got
another scratch through short. Adams hit
to Wolfe and Fenton was caught between
third and home and run down. Bacon sin
gled to left, scoring Orrison and Adams
After that Wolfe steadied down and Post
Office failed to score again.
War scored its first two In the fifth. Ellis
singled to center and Gillen was safe on
Orrison's error After the next two had
gone out Taylor doubled to left, scoring Ell
lis and Gillen. Four hits in the seventh
scored three more for the Warriors and

LAUREL BEAT
BERWYN IN FAST GAME

BERWYN. Md, August Is, 1906.
The Laurel base ball club continued its
way pennantward yesterday afternoon
when playing Berwyn at this place. The
home team was defeated by the score of
to 1 in fve-inning contest. Howard
Beckett again pitched great ball, allowing
Berwyn but three hits and striking out nine
men. In the Berwyns half of the fourth
he walked the first two men and then pro-
ceeded to fan the next three batters. Ber-
wynn opened up the game like winners.
scoring an earned run on Browns two-base
hit and McGregor's single that was too hot
for Timanus. Laurel's third baseman, to
handle. After this Beckett put on steam
and Berwyn was not dangerous during the
remainder Of the contest. BY winning yester-
days game Laurel takes second place in
the race for the pennant, and Manager
Bond declares that the flag is as good as
won by the midway city's team. Today
Hyattsville, the leaders in the race, clash
with Laurel in the latter place. and an
interesting game is looked for. Geib will

Once more the Brownies got a good start
ia the initial turn at the bat in the second
game, but surprising play kept them from
scoring. Niles led off with a single and
sccoted to second on Tom Jones, sacrifice.
Stone then struck out to the great glee of
the spectators Hemphin followed with
roller to Altizer that the latter threw badly
to Hickman, the ball bounding a couple
yards away from the first baseman. Niles
was turning third at the time and thought
he could make home, but Hickman recover

Wakefield nailed the venturesome lad at
the plate.
The Ice was first broken by the Nationals

fans leaned back in their seats with con-

Howells finish was thought to be near.
kftson led of with fly to Stone and sat
down, and Mil died at first on a roller to
Wallace. Charley Jones then tore Off sim
gle into left and came all the way home
on Altizer's double into the same territory,
Stone making gallant try for the ball.
Hickman followed with wicked grounder
toward left that Niles partially stopped,
the ball rolling into center and Altizer
scoring, the batter being credited with a
two-bagger. Anderson then sent a speedy
grounder to left that went through both
Niles and Wallace and Hickman scored.
Schlahy worked base on balls. but Stan

1t was certainly timely piece Of batting
by the locals.
The Browns hung up their first run in the
fourth. Hemphill led off with a double to
right. went to third on O'Brien's single
after Wallace had flied to Anderson, and
then home when Koehler's roller went
through Schlaf1y.
Kitson's Unlucky Retreat
kitson had warned Manager Stahl that
his arm was paining him and he walked
into the box in the eighth to give Falken-

He passed Howell and Niles. and Tom Jones
promptly sacrificed them along. Stone fol-

home and got the ball to Schlafly before he
could gain second. This cleared the bases,
but "Falk' started in once more with his

have ended but for the fact that Patten

end came quickly in the ninth. With Tom
Jones down, Mil to Hickman, Stone dou-

TEXAS PLAYER
TO JOIN THE NATIONALS

Not to be outdone by the other clubs, the
Washington management has at last start
ed signing players for next season. 1t was
thought best to withhold the names for the
time being but as the western managers
are giving out the news as fast as 1t de-
velops the local officials have decided to
make public their latest deals. In addition
to Second Basemen Mig Perrine, general
utility player Bob Edmondson has been Sc
cured from the Houston, Texas, team.
Bob" must be something of a wonder as
he can play any old position, the following
clipping from the Houston Post telling OF
his signing with Washington:
Bob Edmondson, the mighty sWatter or
the Houston team, has been sold to the
Washington team of the American League.
Edmondson, however, will not leave here
until the close Of the season Of the South
Texas League, which ends September 8.
Edmondson is the greatest all around
player that ever played on Houston
team and also one Of the most popular.
During his four years of captivity on the
Houston team Edmondson has played every
position on the diamond and played them
all well. He was always willing and anx-
tous to be in the game and has frequently
caught one day and pitched the next. He
Is fast fielder and covers a large amount
of territory and has a powerful wing, be-
ing able to hurl the ball from the outer
rim of the ball yard right into the catcher's
hands.
Edmondson's specially Is in clouting the
ball and he is the greatest long distance
hitter that has been on the local team since
the days of "Scrappy" Joyce. Bob has
never batted less than 300 in any one of
the four seasons the South Texas League
has been in existence. He is hitting a
shade under the 300 mark at present, but
he Is coming fast He got away to a
ragged start, but during the last month
he has been walloping the pellet at $50
clip, which is going some with the bludgeon
in these bizarre days Bob will have the
good wishes of the army of the Houston
fans.
