Manager Nau Of the Parkview team IS
on the hospital list of his team. The
closeness of the race and the effects of
worry are responsible. He will be around
in few days.
1t is a wonder that there is not lot
of arguments and scraps among the
race Any one of the first four teams
has a chance for the pennant and the
games are getting close and exciting.
Jack Sherman is handling the indicator
in the extra games, which were post
poned early in the season on account
of rain. but which are now being played
off His work is of the hgh-class order
and he is being complimented. Jack is
playing first base for Woodburn and
when his team is billed to play Secre~
tary Jones does the extra umpiring.
Kelliher the big first baseman on the
Parkview team, landed on one of. 81
Browns shoots in Tuesdays game and
sent the ball into yard on Georgia
circuit this season. He circled the bases
Maddox got a homer in the same inning
of the same game.
What proved to be about the worst
game played in the league this year was
Tuesday, when Parkview trimmed Tako-
ma, the tailenders. by the score OF Is to
l. The winners made all of their runs
in two innings, five in the second and
thirteen in the fifth. 1t was good thing
that the game was. played at Parkvfew
The crowd seemed to enjoy the heavy
hitting Of their boys.
Brightwood has certainly been playing
a funny game. 1t loses to the weak
teams but when it lines up against the
stronger outfits it generally manages to
get the long end of the score.
For disputing one of Umpire Finnegan' S
decisions during the Brightwood-Park-
view game Friday of last week four men,
bers of the latter team were fined one
dollar each. Those who had to pay pen
alties were w. and B. Gallagher. kelliher
and Meyers. Meyers also drew sus-
pension from the league for the remainder
of the season. The fines were all paid.
Meyers absence from the Parkview
lineup will hardly be noticed. He is a
catcher, but i'll this department the team
is we'll fortified. Besides him they have
Mace. Saliri, Baggette and Miller. Any
one of the four can hold his own.
Lefty Clayton is sure Brightwood's $
hoedoo Lefty pitched for Petworth
against Brightwood Monday, and although
he is one of the youngest players in the
league only four nits were made or his
delivery. His teammates backed him up
in fine fashion, pounding the ball hard
and fielding 1t like vets.
Over one-half of the members of the
Columbia A. c. team of the Capital City
League have signed up with Parkview;
Their addition from all appearances did
not benefit the team much, as 1t lost on
their first appearance. They did not play.

even, on his last trip. which happened
TO be the fourth, he landed on the sphere
for a homer. His performance was
neculiar one, inasmuch as he got as many

indicated. Chech is scheduled to draw
q salary in the Virginia state League
next season.
"Hone, Falconer is probably the heavi-
est nlayer in the league. If lie continues

last season he will be too big to play

four of which were for extra bases. Only
one thing saved him from defeat. That
was because his teammates did some
timely batting and sensational fielding.
Early in the season Junghans, now a
member of the Woodburn team, tried
hard to get chance with one OF the
