three put outs and recorded four difficult

Mr.. "Pete" Hoffman, who is umpfring

the opinion of many players and rooters.
He claimed that the Atlantics forfeited
to the Government Printing Office for non
appearance although 1t rained hard enough
to stop the Departmental, Church League

Departmental League.
The crowds at the Departmental games
are increasing steadily now as the sea-
son is on its third lap and it is known
that the teams are putting forth their
best efforts to gain a good position in the
race.
War surprised a large crowd Friday by
the Interstate Commerce team.
The latter club was picked by many to
carry of the bunting this season. and it
was thought to be out Of the question
that the Warriors would be the team to

War and Navy are hopelessly out of
the race for the first three positions in
the race, and one or the other will have
to fili in at the bottom of the first divi-

but the teams UP In front had better keep
q close watch on them, as they are all
good fighters at times.
Many sensational plays have been made
on the big ellipse this season, but that
catch by Ellis with three men on bases
was the greatest of the season. Had the
ball passed him Interstate's chances
would have been much improved.
