Monday-Shappirio VS.. Internationals.
Tuesday-Market VS.. Park.
Observation-Disclosures VS.. Internationsls.
Thursday-Kann's VS.. Shappirio.
F'riday-International VS.. Market.
Saturday-No game.
There has been a dispute over q post
poned game played by Internationals and
Kann's the early part Of last week. In
ternationals won by a score OF to o.
AS there was no official umpire at the
game Kann's claims that the result does
not count in the standing or the CLUBS,
while the Internationals hold that the
manager and captain of kanns asked
them to play the game, and by virtue OF
their victory claim that they are tied
with WOodside for first place. Both
President Turner, and he will give his
decision Monday.
Buck" West has resumed his place
behind the bat for Woodside. He broke
a finger on his throwing hand some time
ago, and since then has been played in
the outfield and on second base on ac-
count of his hitting ability. but now the
injured digit is almost well and he has
returned to the receiving end.
Hal Chase hasn't got anything on Sem
seney In the matter of playing long
distance from first base. Sensen,y has
practically been playing right field in ad-
dition to the initial station. He has been
covering lot of ground and has cut on
many a promising Texas Lacquer TO
right field.
Thus speaks Jim Shaffer. third base
man of the Internationals: by the end
of this week we'll be SO far ahead the
rest won't be able to catch us with .
laSSo.
Every day larger crowds are coming
down to the ellipse to witness the games.
The teams are putting up as good ball
as any league In the city, and the ap-
by their enthusiastic roofing and increas-
ing numbers.
woodside has one of the heaviest hit
ting teams in the league. The suburban
boys have been smuggling the opposing
pitchers hard, but then they might strike
snag when they face Giovannini.
Park has fallen down in hitting during
the last week. In the last two games
it played 1t only made one scratch hit
Off Giovannini, and failed to hit Peter
to any appreciate extent.
Market House has strengthened con-
siderably and Is right up on the leaders.
It's smuggling proclivities are enough to
take the steam out OF any opposing
any in the league. 1t will be right
in the race at the finish, and whoever
wins the flag will have q tough rub to
beat out Market House.
Will Park come back. or will the two
defeats 1t sustained last week start It
going down hill?
Gordon Is hitting the ball hard for
Park.
c. Hoffman is playing good ball for
kanns.
Mack Is one OF the best twirlers in
the league, but the wretched fielding Of
the men behind him is enough to dis
courage any pitcher.

MARQUETTE LEAGUE.
How the Clubs Stand.
Pension Wins Two.

The Pension clerks strengthened their
hold on first place yesterday in the Mar
quette League by defeating their two
nearest rivals. the Congressional and Co
lumbia mines.
The first contest was interesting from
the beginning. despite the fact that both
teams felded poorly. Robinson started
in to twirl for the winners. but, having
pitched the day before and his arm being
little sore, he was relieved in the third
by Lynch. Lynch got a bad start, and
before the inning was over five runs had
crossed the plate. After that his oppo-
nents could not touch his curves.
King pitched good ball for the losers,
but was not effective with men on bases.
hence the clerks managed to score at
opportune times.
Murphy, Keliher and Lynch led with
the stick, the last named winning the
game by two timely two-baggers.
Hayes and Mess both played good
game in the field.

taking the game practically in the first
round, when five TALES crossed the pan

Ninth, was driven to cover in the first
inning and was relieved by Cruickshanks,

Burke and Diver formed an invincible
battery for Twining, and the smiling
blond allowed only three bingles, two of
these coming in the last session.

game for the losers.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, August Z, 1909.

The Rockville Independents and the
Garrett Park team played a ten-inning
game at the fair grounds here this after
noon, the locals winning by the score of
8 to 5. 1t was Garrett Park all the way
until the ninth inning. when the Rock
vile boys got unexpectedly busy with
their bats. which, coupled with some
rather loose playing on the part of the
visitors. gave them four runs. tying the
score. The locals continued to bat in the
tenth inning, securing the winning run
with only one out. 1t was a Clearly

a number of clever plays. The score:

~AsSAAAA~AAS -
Because of the inability of the Hamline
team to put an eligible team on the field
again yesterday it forfeited to the st.
Paul Methodist aggregation. An exhibit
ton contest was played and the Meth
odst team was defeated by picked nine
by the score Of 8 to 0.
Birch served 'em up for the winners
and his good pitching was the main cause
Of ST. PATHS defeat. The Methodist team
got only one hit off him, and this was
made by Evans, the first batter in the
first inning. Birch passed one man and
struck out six. McMorris. James and
Slack performed the twirling stunts for
st. Paul, and although not hit hard,
each was given weak support. which was
the cause of majority of the winners
lallies.
Evans played good game at short,
making several classy stops and throws
Greer put up good game at the initial
sack for the picked team. and the play
ing of Dick Conner at third was brilliant.
He made several one-hand pick-ups of
bunts and on each occasion caught his
man at first. He also led with the stick,
getting a double and two singles.

a walkover after the third inning. Until
that session Weaver, who hurled them
over for Columbia, pitched mastery ex-
hibition, but thrown ball hit him on
his finger, injurng it SO severely that
thereafter he was wild and ineffective.
Robinson. who twirled the first five in
nings for the Clerks, pitched a winning
game, allowing only two singles. He
claimed that his arm was gone at the
of this round, and was re-
lieyed in the sixth by Bullock of Central

puzzle to the Printers.
