Buckley a new slab artist signed up
by Manager Valaer, started the box work
for the St. Paul team and retired, after
twirling six innings. in favor of Good

drives, which, coupled with several mis-
PLAYS by the Methodist team, netted the
Baptists seven runs. Goodman tWlrled
two innings and allowed no hits The
two runs scored while he was on the
mound were caused by loose fielding of
the losers.
Reds" Litchfield was pitted against
the ST. Paul team, and although he
twirled good ball, the six hits made
off him came in punches and, like the
losers the errors made by the Baptlsts
figured in the run-getting. Litchheld con-

Rapee has proven a valuable man on
the second base for the Station nine,
covering, possibly, more ground than any
man on the team. His batting has shown
a marked improvement over that of las,
year.
Forrest Thompson is showing up well
with the leaders: his utility fielding has
proven marvellous. In thursdays game
he was used at short and made good.
Graham lad his curves with him Mon
day and had he had his team with him
he B. and o. would have remained in
fifth place. Graham famed seventeen
men in that game.
Williams for the B. and o. is also slug
ging the ball for keeps. having succeeded
in making three hits the last game.
The work of Anderson behind the bat
for the Car Department deserves men,

Suburban League Notes.

The averages which are published else
where in this edition have been the sole
topic Of conversation in the Suburban cir
cult all week. When it was announced
last Sunday that they would be pub
lished today ali of the players did their
best to get in a few hits. which would
give them a better percentage. The
rainy weather all week has been a keen
disappointment to a whole lot of those
who have been hitting weak and wanted
to better their averages.
Check" Maddox made clean sweep of
II, his batting average OF 800 being the
best since the league was organized. 1t
is more than probable that he will be
signed up to play in some minor league
before the summer is over.
Ransom's work with Petworth has been
the surprise of the season. He is bat
ting in top-notch style. and his catches
in the outfield have all been of the high
est order.
Another surprise of the season is
Grant. who is playing right field for
Brightwood. Last year Grant was the
weakest hitter and slowest base runner
on that nine. but this season he Is well
zip at the top among the batters, and
his base running Is as good as any OF the
other members of the Brightwood outfit.
Reed has been having h 8 share Of hard
luck since the season began. The boys
from Reed Hospital are all good players
individually, but as a team they are
weak. They have no team work. and for
this reason are psrched on the bottom
rung.
For a team in it's position Woodburn
has been putting up great game. The
team work is good and nearly all of the
players are good htters. This team will
fool a lot of them before the season Is
over.
movement has been started among
the players of the various teams in the
league to have the games scheduled for
July postponed. There are three games
scheduled for that day 1t is more than
likely that the board of managers will
grant the players their request
Petworth is about to have it's grounds
overhauled. Ever since the rainy wealth
er set in the grounds out Petworth way
have been in bad condition. A new
backstop will be erected and also new
seats.
Several new faces will be seen in the
league before many more weeks roll
around. All Of the teams at the bottom
are improving their teams by the addi-
tion Of new Players. and the games from,
now on promise to be close. as we'll as

Balzer Pitches Brentwood to Victory.
Two costly errors of O'Connor. second

score of O to 5.

has just returned to town from a two
week visit to New York city, twirled
mastery ball for the Suburbantes.
Smoke" was weak at the start, but his
arm grew stronger as the game went by.
After the second round not a man cou d
connect safely until the sixth. His team
mates gave him poor support, making a
total Of four fumbles. all of which proved
to be costly. This youngster held the
strong Marine sluggers down to seven
safeties. His puzzling curves and shoots
put the sad expression on nine. He passed
two. He had excellent control and
speed.
southpaw Priddy was on the rubber
for the losers, and If he had been sup
ported better the contest might have
ended in tie. Priddys delivery was
touched up for nine bingies. which re-
suited in six tallies. Priddy was very
