Tie intercity feature Of the race
promises to be more pronounced as the

WHITE LOT GAMES
LOSING INTEREST
Uneven Balance of Leagues Ros-
ter Is Cause of
Trouble.

A triple play. something rarely. seen
on an amateur field, was pulled on by
the Ninth Street aggregation in its
game with Peck Memorial at Thirteenth
and D streets northeast yesterday.
With none down In the initial inning
Peck had runners on second and third
when the batter popped out to the sec
ond baSeman, who threw to the short
stop, who covered second. and shot the
ball to third in time to nail the runner
off the bag It was a lightning last
play and showed the speed which the
Ninth Street infield possesses Whlle
of on the amateur field 1t Is one that
has been accomplished but three
times since the organization OF the sun
day School League
Yesterday was a day of mighty re-
versals at the Capital City Park. St.
Stephens, which made such an inau-
spicious start on Monday, was pitted
against G. P. o.. which so soundly
trounced the Marines the first time out
Everything got mixed yesterday and
when the various elements settled st.
Stephens had enough runs to win a
Marathon game
Directors of the Marquette League
are to be complimented upon the man
ner in which they have gotten the new
playing field, at First and w sueets:
into condition. Beside leveling the neiu
so that it is now in as good shape as
any in the city, new stands have been
erected and the large cror.7ds which
turn out for the games are being
handled in commendable fashion
From the results OF the games played
on the White Lot grounds so far nus
season it is hard 10 see how the leagCe
will present as attractive schedule as
that rendered last year, when the fight
for first place carried straight through
! to the final games. At the present rate
the final winner may be decided within
month. Never before has the De
partment League been so unevenly bal
anced, and unless some real action Is
| taken the league may prove joke
Both times out this year the. Agricul-
] ture team, which failed to set things on
I fire last season. has secured twenty OF
more runs while their opponents got
less than half that many. A smuggling
match where both have chance and
| fight IL out 10 the last inning is always
! welcomed by sand lot fans, but where
one club completely outclasses the other
the game becomes disgusting.
