LOCAL UNIONS EASILY
DEFEAT philadelphia

The Washington Unions continued their
good playing yesterday afternoon against
the Philadelphia and captured the game
in handy fashion by the score of IL to 3.
The local boys got off we'll in the first
inning and continued to score in all but
one of the batting rounds. making the
game so one-sided as to kill off the in
terest.
The feature of the game was the pitch
ing of Topham. who did not allow q run
ner to touch the home plate during the
time he was on the rubber. In the sew
enth inning a line drive from Fosters
bat hurt Topham so severely that he had
to retire. Speer taking his place The
work of the new pitcher was quite differ
ent from that of Topham. and the Quakers
went after him like hungry wolves. scor-
ing five runs in the final three innings.
The local team put up n fine fielding
game. all their errors being of the ex-
cusable sort, but the game cannot be
said of the visitors. eight misplays being
made at the most opportune time for the
Washingtons. The batting of Gilbert and
the fielding of Zanzelli and Lynch were
the features of the game outside the work

Aggies Nose Out War.
Two interesting and fast games were
played in the Departmental League on
the White Lot yesterday afternoon. Ag-
ficulture having defeated War. while
Navy nosed out Interior. and both games
resulted in the same score to 3.
In the Agriculture-Wa game the teams
were evenly matched and both looked like
winners throughout. The fielding Of both
was of the gilt-edg order and they each
batted out an equal share of hits.
The Aggies got in the scoring in the very
first round and every one present at this
stage thought that they would have an
easy time trimming the Warriors. but
they didn't and had to work hard all the
way to win. The Soldiers tied up the
score in the second on fusilade of hits.
and from then until the sixth both teams
struggled along without either being able
to overcome the tie The winning run was
made by Fields who singled. took second
on Saunders bingle and third when Taylor
was hit the second time counting on tap
