DOUBLE-HEADERS
FOR LABOR DAY
Marines VS.. Treasury, and
Columbia Stacks Up
Against Grace.

Double-headers at both parks tomor-
row beginning at 2:sO. In the Glass A,
the Marines will meet Treasury in the
nrst game. while Columbia Athletic
Club will meet Grace in the second
game
In Glass B, Twining will play Shopmen
in the first game while lexington will
clash with Nescos in the second.
By winning yesterday Treasury and
Columbia are tied for first place in Sec
ton A, while Grace brings up in the
rear with two defeats. Grace is by no
means out of the running, although
their chances are rather slim. but they
may put one across on the leaders to-
morrow. The Marines had an on day,
and hope to be in form for a hard game
with Treasury tomorrow. Ritter, who
has pitched both games for his team.
will probably work tomorrow, as Man
ager Shirtlef's other fingers are not
in shape.
Twining and ShOpmen were the victors
in Class B yesterday, and led the race
in that section. They will play in the
first game of the double-header tomor-
row at Union Park, and good contest
should result. The results yesterday
indicate that the race in Class B will
be close one. The Nescos are sure to
make ii interesting for the other teams,
while Shopmen and Twining have shown
great strength. lexington IS far from
being weak, and will class up with any

Cricket Club at Mannheim today, PhiIa.
delphia became the first holder of the
lnterCity cup which has been contested
Tor between Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and Washington this summer.
There was no doubt about PhiIadeI-
phia's superiority, although 1t lost three
matches in the singles. J. c. Colston.
Baltimore's first representative, gained
a somewhat unexpected victory over DT
f b. Dewhurst, but Iot without a
hard struggle. Unfortunately, Dewhurst
was suffering from a strained wrist, and
was not at his best but this does rot
dstract from Colston's victory, as he
played really heady game all the way
through. Dewhurst took the first set,
SIS; in the next set the games were
called 2 all, and fine squirt by Colston
enabled him TO win the next two games
and the set. The final set was just as
keenly contested as the previous two,
but COlstOn stayed a little tho better Of
two, and finally won the set, Ga, and
the match.
Wagner's Fierce Battle.
The second match, between ]. r. Car
penter, jr., and B. Wagner. was Just
as hotly contested as the Colston-Dew-
hurst match, and ii was necessary to
play thirty-eight games before the wifi-

The struggle among the younger quar-
tet of amateur league leaders for the
right to meet the winner in class A
for the District championship was be-
gun yesterday at Union League Park.
The lid litter was a double header
which furnished sport on a par with

The playing in both games was mar
red by frequent errors, some Of which
were hardly eXcusable even when made
by amateurs. But several OF the mis-
cues in the second contest were due to
the wet ball. for the whole of the sec
Ond game was played in rain which
ranged from a drizzIe to 9 real down
pour at times.
Howard on the Job
The superiority Of Twinings fielding
was enough in evidence TO exc out a
victory despite the fact that each side
got the same number OF hits. The
backing-up Of the winners was their
best stunt and they were saved two
runs IN the third when Mcmahon threw
wild to sissler, but Howard was on the
spot to grab the sphere, which was
headed for deep left.
Another fielding was a double play
in the NTH, when Haden made a diff
ficult catch and landed it at first in
time to head of McCarty. The game
was replete with circus catches. The
most sensational OF these was that of
Maddox in the tenth. when he grabbed
Downeys liner. TWO men were on bases
and but one wss ont, when Downey.
screecher looked good TO make Twin
ing's lead secure. The little center
fielder ran back nearly to the fence
after the fly thus giving his team an ex-
ceIlent chance to pull out OF hole in
their half Of the inning. which they
failed to improve.
Gordon's coolness and ability to pull
