the hook into the leaders and incidentally
forced Foundry to the top rung.
The Nets took q lead in the first round
and were never headed. Clyde Richmond
was in superb form and moved down the
Baptfsts in great style. Only three
widely scattered bingles were charged up
against his delivery. Koehler also pitched
a fairly good game, but the hits against
him were punched and the errors Of his
team mates were costly.
Dampier put up fine exhibition OF first
base playing and McNabb and Frye both
held up the receiving department In fine
form. Briggs led the stickwork with two
neat singles.
For Calvary Lord played a beautiful
game and Clear raped out two-bagger

Immaculates Defeat Holy Name.

In a slow. undressing contest which
barely dragged through five innings, the
Immaculate Conception lads ran away from
the Holy Name team yesterday, leaving
them to mediate on the score-5 10 l. Had
not the winners eased up toward the latter
part of the game it would have been a clean
shutout for Daley's men. Asst was. how
ever, the score was decisive, as the Immac-
ulates got out in hurry after the rain ap-
peared and were ready for business. Whit
ing was in the pit for the runners-up Of
the league and his work would have been
of noticeable order had 1t not been for the
dilly-dallying engaged In by the losing ag-
gregation at all stages Of the show. Whit

which netted the losers one earned run. {.
Camaiier did not have an opportunity to

Navy Defeats Post Office.

afternoon, Navy defeating Post Office, to
2 on the south diamond. while Commerce
and Labor trimmed Treasury in easy FASH
ion on the west diamond. 8 to 2.
Navy and Post Office drew most of the
crowd. and the game was fairly good
one. The Sailors got away in the lead with
two runs in the first inning and they were
never headed. Murray was on the rubber
for them. and it was Post Offices inability
to hit him at opportune moments that de-
c1ded the game. Although Navy got but
seven hits Off Haring. six of them came in
two innings-the first and fourth-and
scored all of Nays runs. Krafts usual
good throwing to the bases was excep-
tionally fine yesterday and he kept the

MANGUM'S GREAT CATCH
SAVED THE GAME

HYATTSvILLE. Nd. August 9.-The
Hyattsville base ball team. leaders in the
Suburban League Of Prince George county.
defeated Berwyn here yesterday afternoon
In the presence Of a large gathering. The
game was warmly contested for four In
nings. but in the latter half Of the fifth
the local men went after Brown. the visi-
tors pitcher. and scored five earned runs.
Berwyn scored one in the initial ses-
sion on two hits and two errors, and after
this could not get q man around. The dis
tinct feature Of the game was a sensational
catch by Capt. Bangum of the olcals. With q
man on each cushion, Smith. one of the
best hitters In the league smashed a line
one between first and second base. Mangum
dashed over, leaped into the air and spear
ed the pellet with his left hand. 1t was q
great catch and undoubtedly saved the
game for Hyattsville. Capt. Mangum was
compelled to doff his cap several times.
Dorr. for Hyattsville. pitched one Of the
best games In his career, allowing the wish
tors but five hits and striking out seven
men in Ave innings. Gait, Hyattsville's
shortstOp. flelded his position perfectly and
batted at $50 gait. Brown for Berwyn
made two Of the hits secured by his club.
The game was called in the last half of the
sixth, after Hya,tsville had scored two runs,
on account OF rain. The score went back
to the fifth. Hyattsville plays Brentwood
mere this afternoon. 1t is a postponed
league game. Leakin will probably pitch
for Hyattsville and Payne for Brentwood.

nothing against the management OF the
New York club nor any member or the
team. and / think the fair-minded people
who follow the game know 1t.
President Brush of the New York club
has issued a statement declaring that the
fault of the game not being played on
Tuesday according to schedule was due to
the Chicago club and the incompetency OF
the presiding officers OF the National
League Mr.. Brush said:
..Mr Pulliam seeks to compel the fndorse-
ment Of his arbitrary and unwarranted
ruling by threats Of resignation II he Is
not upheld by the board OF directors. HIS
cause ia so weak that it seems to require
such threats to bolster 1t up. There Is no
base ball law by which an Individual can
forfeit the game from without the ball park.
The situation Is thoroughly covered by the
rules. and the only violation Of rules that
has been made was made by Mr.. Emslie,
who. being an assigned umpire and who
was within the grounds. refused to officiate.
and by the Chicago club when 1t refused
to play and left the field.
'sIhe rules are specific. If no umpire APP
pears. players must be selected and the
game be played. The New York club stood
ready to comply with the rules and Is not
at fault It will contest this point with
Mr.. Pulliam before base ball or civil tri-
bunals. The failure OF the base ball pub
lie to witness the game yesterday Is due
absolutely and unqualifedly to the incom-
potency Of the presiding officers OF the Ma
tional League.
President Pulliam yesterday sent out the
following statement of umpires who have
been assigned to the New York club since
the beginning Of the championship season
to August 8, inclusive:

Crippled Treasury Easily Beaten

Treasury brought a crippled team down.
and Commerce and Labor had an easy time
on the west diamond, scoring almost at
will. With Garrett pitching for Treasury.
every man on the team went to bat In
the first inning. and four hits, an error and
a hit by pitcher netted four runs. Two more
were added by the Commercial team in the
second on another hit by pitcher and pass,
followed by Evans three-bagger to right.
These six runs took all the interest out of
the game for the spectators, and afterward
both teams played in listless manner.
Every man on the Commerce and Labor
team with the exception Of Hunt got one or
more hits off Garrett and Smith. Treasury
was evidently disheartened, and its oppo-
nents. realizing that they did not have to
play. became careless which probably ac-
counts for the errors charged up against
them. There were many others besides
those marked I'D that went for hits an ac-
count Of the bad condition of the diamond.
Treasury scored it's only two runs in the
eighth inning on two errors, due to this
carelessness. sandwiched with a pair of
singles. These two ended the scoring for
both sides and left the totals and g The
