A new experiment was tried last Sunday
by the Capital City League and proved
to be big success. 1t was the playing off
of postponed game Sunday. The scheme
worked to perfection. the largest crowd
of the season being on hand. The grounds
are so nicely located for a thing of this
purpose that there ought not to be kick
from any one. The park Is at the corner
of 1st and NJ streets northeast. not a sin
gle house being on the whole block to
the side or In front OF II. A crowd could
go out there and yell all day without an
noying any one. Today's battle will be
between the Columbia Athletic Club and
the team that halls from Brookland.
Game called at 2:30 promptly.
Old Bill Setley. the big league catcher
who umpired In this league until ten days
ago. has been missed greatly. Setley Is
now working for Mr. Baker. owner Of the
Winchester team.
MI. fIdlH pldycu Ills part WCli id6L "C0h.
There was no game Tuesday and Friday
on account Of him. Let's hope for six
straights this week.
Willie Handiboe. third baseman on the
Government Printing Office aggregation,
played star game last Sunday. His SEN
sational catch was the feature Of the
contest
''Ianky'' Litz twirled a brilliant game
last Sunday against the G. p. o. He only
allowed three hits-two singles and a
double.
Government Printing Office has a new
catcher, Geibel. and he Is there with the
goods They say he captured the honor
Of being the fastest base runner In the
city.
If Brentwood lands the flag IN the Cap
ital City League and Agriculture the De-
partr1ental rag there is going to be a
fight over a pitcher by the name Jimmie
Sanders. Sanders Is employed at the De-
partment of Agriculture and has twirled
for that team for two years. He Is also
friend and star box artist Of George
Cornnell, owner of the Brentwoods. The
thing that has the fans guessing Is what
crew Jimmie will play with at the close.
They predict that II he plays with Brent
wood 1t will win the championship. and
if he goes with the other fellows they
will capture it. Brentwood looks like
the winner to us.
'"reck" Parsons is now debating the de-
cisions of this league.
The Columbia Athletic Club is creeping
up slowly. 1t won two last week.
Charlie Salb's slugging was the feature
of Mondays battle. Charlie connected
safely for three beauties-a triple and
two doubles.
Charlie Lord is putting up nice game
for Columbia.
Errors lost the game for the Marines
last Wednesday against Columbia. They
made six juicy miscues.
"Haggey'' Meister pitched against
Brookland last Monday with a sore arm
and defeated the suburbanites, allowing
them but three safeties.
Memdel has been transferred from c.
A. C. to Brookland.
Smith. catcher and captain Of the, Co
lumbias. Is on the sick list He has
been out Of the last two games.
Evans Is a new recruit with Brook
land He caught good game Monday
for that nine.
The trouble with the Marines is that
they have no twirling staff. There is
no doubt that their catcher. Meagher. is
the best In the city. He can shoot them
down to second like cannon balls.
Amey and Larry Kicker each got Q
homer In Wednesdays affair.
Brentwood played rings around Brook
land Thursday. They had the game
won In the first two rounds.
