No game scheduled Saturday.
The race in the league at the present
time appears to be between Columbia, st.
Martins and Pension Office. On paper
st. Martins have the strongest team, but
inasmuch as the other two mines are
going at fast clip it is a hard matter
to pick the winner.
Tanglewood. Congressionals and Bloom
ingdale should finish in order named.
Neither of these teams is putting up the
game at this writing that win pennants.
The game next Friday between Pension
Office and ST. Martins should be a corker
and will go long way toward deciding
which is the better club.
The league diamond at 1st and w
streets northwest has been greatly i'm
proved. The outfield especially has been
looked after, the rocks and other in
cumbrances in right field having been
removed. The grounds are considered by
many to be one of the best amateur base
bail fields in the District.
Wilhoite, pitcher for Tanglewood. should
be worked more often. This slabman's
twirling for ST. Paurs in the Marquette
League last season was of the topnotch
order and with little more work now
he can in all probability repeat last years
performances.
Widmarsh, Tangewoods dminutive
shcrtstop, is playing great ball in that
position. His one-hand stab of Martins
drive through the short garden in the
was the best catch witnessed for some
time.
That the fielders are on the job is shown
by the numerous double plays made
Hardly a game is played but that one or
more double plays are pulled off.
Manager Byram would greatly strength
en- his team by putting Russo back on
third base.
Sergt Robbins of Pension Office made
a great find when he landed Mccarthy.
This players work in the left garden
could not be improved upon, besides he
is one of the best stickers on'the team.
Hooks" Cohill, who played second base
on the ST. Vincent's nine in the Mar
quette League last season, is doing great
Independence League.
Bullock, Central High Schools star
twirler. is making good with the Pension
Office crew. His playing in every posi-
ton. which are many, has been excellent.
Had it not been for errors by his team
mates, Weaver would have scored a shut
out over the Congressonals last Tues
day. AS it was. he held them to one
lone tally.
Sammy Woods is clouting the leather
just as hard as ever. In the Columbia s
game with Tanglewood he connected with
the horsehide for three safeties
Mess played a good game for Pension
Office in its game with Tanglewood We'd
nesday, despite the fact that he is
charged with two slips-up He accepted
four putOuts and made three assists all
of which were extremely difficult
That boy e. Fox, who plays right field
for Tanglewood. is putting up srea.
! game in every department.
The game last Tuesday between the
Congressionals and Columbia was "a pitch
ers' battle for six innings, the score being
to until this session. But in that
round Columbia fell upon McIaurin's
| curves for six runs, which practically
broke up the game.
In Coumbia's game with Tanglewood
recently Wilhide. the Printers pitcher.
was credited with six assists and tarea
putouts. Quite a fielding record for Il
finger.
Out of sixteen safe swats not an extra
base hit was made in the Columbia
Congressional contest Tuesday.
kcliher is hitting the sphere at a te.-
rife rate. Many of his Swats 90 for
extra bases
