The games scheduled for the coming
week promise to be corkers. All of the
teams are now about equal in strength.
which means hard. close games.
The last three teams have been the
SURPRISES of the season. All three got
bad starts, but they are now making up
for lost time During the past two
weeks their performances against the
leaders have been surprising.
Steele and Hises may not be with the
Woodburn team next season. Both are
crackerjack players and good stickers.
A representative of the washington
ball team was out to look the pair over
yesterday, having received seVerai lips
about them previously.
Reed A. c. has been hitting its stride
during the past two weeks. Although
still tailenders, the Reed boys have won
four out of the last five games played.
The fifth game ended in tie. If they
continue at that gait they will be out
of the cellar.
At present Woodburn has the strongest
team in the league. both in the field and
at bat The only weak point is IN the
pitching department. Junghaus IS the
only reliable twirler and he has been
overworked already. and should anythins
happen to keep him out of the game the
team would be handicapped. Many
Suburban League fans feel confident that
Woodburn will win the pennant, despite
the fact that 1t is In fourth place
and has a big lead to overcome. Last
year this team finished last in the PEN
uant race. Too much credit cannot be
given Tom Martin for his capable man
agement of the nine.
Brightwood, now In second place. is
now in a crippled condition, as are Pet
worth and Parkview. All three teams are
n the first division, but none of them
has been winning with regularity.
Harry Ohler. who has been holding
down the initial corner for Parkview. has
quit the team, according to report cir
culated in that burg. If that is the
case Baggette will be shifted to first and
Meyers and Mace will do the catching.
Petworths team work. which figured
largely early in the season, has been
sadly missing during the past few games.
Nearly all of the players have been ignor-
ing signals. With any kind of team work
in the last Woodburn game Petworth
would have won. even though luck played
an important part in the defeat.
Donaldson and Jones. the two Tenley-
town boys in the Woodburn aggregation,
are doing good work. The latter is a
pitcher.
W. Donnelly made beauty unassisted
double play in the Takoma-Reed game
Wednesday,. He caught a hard line drive
off McCoy's bat and tagged Noble, who
could not get back to second in time.
Takoma must have had it in for the
scorer in the game against Reed Wednes-
day. The team used twelve players and
nearly every inning saw a Shift in the
line up, several of the players playing
two and three positions before the game
was concluded.
The athletic contests last Monday
proved to be a greater success than was
anticipated. All of the races were close
and exciting except the three-mile mara
thon, which the official scorer OF the
league won with ease, tapping number
of the competitors twice on quarter
mile track.
The protested games which nave been
decided will be announced tomorrow.
Reed will more than likely be awarded a
game from Brightwood. The game In
question was called when 1t was light
enough to play. In this game Reed had
another chance to protest, as spectator
caught a ball which was hit into left
field and which would have gone for a
triple and won the game for the soldier
boys, but the umpire allowed the man
only one base and would not allow two
men already on the bases to score.
Smith, who is catching for Columbia In
the Capital City League, will soon make
his debut as a member of the Woodburn
team. His name is also on the Parkview
list, but Woodburn viii more than likely
be awarded the player.
Pullium is now eligible to play with
Petworth and probably will make his first
appearance tomorrow. He is catcher
and a good sticker. He and Z. Mayne
will take turns at the receiving end dur
ing the remainder of the season.
Geible a member of the Hamline team
in the Sunday School League. is catching
good ball for Woodburn His two dou-
bles in the Petworth game Thursday were
of the timely variety.
George SeitZ. who used unseemly Ian
guage in expressing his opinion on one
of Umpire Finneeans decisions, has been
suspended for five games. If Finnegan
had had his way in the matter Seitz would
not have been allowed TO play again this
year.
