Brentwoods Swamp st. Stephens.
,Brentwood's twirler. Sanders. yesterday
afternoon at the Capital City Park proved
an enigma to the st. Stephens aggre-
CATION and the Sunday school boys were
whipped by the large score of 20 to >.
Sanders started the game for the win
ners, and he was in good form. allowing
the heavy hitters only five bingles.
Murphy and Bradley were the twirlers
for the uptown boys, and both of these
youngsters were pounded good and hard
for a total of fifteen bingles, which, with
poor support. resulted in twenty tallies.
1t was the suburbanites game from
start to finish. The 18th street lads put
up a poor exhibition of base ball. SAM
nino, second baseman. has the honor for
letting four easy ones slip through his
hands. First Baseman Herring was the
boy with the willow in the contest. He
met the sphere for home run and two
timely singles. Keane's batting and field
ing was also brilliant. He got three.
but his only went for one sack.
Arthur Noyes' showing this season has
been a great surprise to his admirers
In yesterdays contest not a man could
steal. He has been batting in hard
luck First time up he had an easy
double, but Umpire Handiboe claimed he
failed to touch the initial sack. The
next time up ne connected for timely
single, scoring two men. His third out
was caught in deep left, Morariay max
ing a good catch after long run.

ana Interior VS.. agriculture.
Interior Boys Smother Navy Team.
An improvement in the playing Of the
Interior team again stood out prominent
ly yesterday afternoon, when the Navy
outfit was beaten by 1t by the score of
IL to 4.
The Interior team can no longer be call
ed the dub Of the league, for at the pres
ent time they have some Of the best ball
players Of the city listed, namely Bun
n.y. Larkins, formerly of Georgetown Uni
versity, Mcdonald, who has played with
teams stronger than any in the Depart
mental League: Sutton. a former George
well known in amateur circles by his
clever playing, and a lot of other fast
men.
The game yesterday was another one of
those where the winning team got enough
runs in the first three innings to enable
first inning both sides were BANKED. but
in the second the Interior boys got out
their implements and went to work. hit.
a wild pitch, an error and Carrolls home
drive accounts for the first three runs.
The hit by Carroll is thought by many
to be the longest drive Of the season. The
hit was one of those line drives and land
ed about forty feet over the head of the
left fielder. Two hits and a bunch of err
rors gave the Interiorites three more tai
lies in the third, and these, added to the
triplet in the second, put the game on ice
for them.
Navy scored first in the second round.
Three hits turned the trick for it. In the
fifth an error, two bases on balls and an
out gave the Sailors two other tallies.
The last one was made in the eighth on
a hit, stolen base an out and a sacrifice
fly. The official score:

hard hitting Of the Nationals in the
fourth gave them their first two runs
and Joss only pass. with two hits, gave
them the winning score.
1t was funny to see the six infielders
crowd around under McBride's short in
field fly in the third. Easterly caught
it with ease Tuesday the Maps lost a
game to New York through failure to
catch just such a fly.
The Nap infielders shone like beacon
lights. all Of them pulling off spectacu-
lar plays.
Goode. in right, made three sweet
catches. while Lord and Hinchman each
made one catch out Of the ordinary.
Tom Hughes and Heiney Berger are
slated to oppose each other on the rub
ber today.
Johnson had the Maps swinging at his
low out curves as of yore. He famed

from a box near the Nationals bench
Joe is still on furlough.
OF the Rrst ten Nationals retired
Bradley figured in six, bagging one foul
and having five assists. He didn't have
fielding chance thereafter.
Milan's double might have developed
into homer but for good Judgment on
the part of Hinchman. He could not
get down to field the ball with his
hands, so stuck out his foot to inter
cept the fast travelling sphere. He stop
ped short, picked up the ball and shot
it to second, almost mailing the fleet
Milan.
Birminghams operation will keep
him out Of the game two weeks.
Joss tried to bunt on his third strike
in the fifth. 1t was foul.
Browne batted il hard luck. He was
robbed of hits three times.
Lajoie did not find Johnson's offerings
difficult to hit. The Frenchman met the
ball fair three out of four times.
