Suburban League Notes.

1t seems as If every time good game
is going to be played it rains. Thursday
for instance when Petworth and Park
view was to fight it out for first place
| The game would no doubt have been
good one, as both teams are going at
| fast clip at present and would be hare
| to stop.
| Dennison has returned to Woodburr
and his presence in the last two games
has been felt, his timely hitting and clever
fielding being partially responsible for two
straight victories.
PetwOrth has fine collection of pitch
ers in "Shag" Rawlings, Whitney, Mich.
/ cal, Croson, Garrett and Clayton. Any
one OF them Is capable of pitching gilt
| edge ball and should win many games
| before the season is over.
There will be big doings at Petworth or
Monday, July ). There will be base
ball game between the regular and re-
serve PetWorth teams, after which ath-
| letic games of all sorts will be held. After
the events are all run off three mile
marathon will be run by members OF the
| PetWorth club In the evening there will
be fireworks display.
Junghan Is pitching great ball for Wood
| burn He has won the last two games
incidentally bringing his team out of last
place. In the two games he famed q

/ age OF eleven a game The fact that he
| trimmed Brightwood, and by big score
at that, is a feather in his cap, as that
club Is the hardest in the league to lick.
whitney made his debut with PetWOrth
| Tuesday. working against Takoma. He
famed eight and allowed but one hit
which was not made until the eighth in
ming, and would not have been made then
| had LIE Due, who was covering third base
been in his proper position. There was
l M nnn nrf nt,1 I
for bunt when Donnelly. the first man
up, hit hard srounder past him for the
| only hit.
| Ever since the batting averages was
published Flynn has been having some
| trouble In meeting the ball. He has been
hitting at a terrible clip and a slump AT
this time will mean much for Woodburn.
Woodburn played the first errorless
i game of the season Friday against the
heavy hitting Reed aggregation. The bad
bad shape. and Woodburns performance
| Friday was big surprise.
Right field on the Petworth grounds is
| hard place to catch a fly ball. provid-
ing that the sun is shining. The diamond
| is located about the same as at National
Park.
Blair Thomas is the heaviest batter in
| the league. Whenever he meets the ball
it generally goes for extra bases. In
| the Woodburn- game Friday he
| times up, and on the third trip smashed
out double, which would have been a
triple, too, had not Perley done some fast
fielding.
| 1t looks as If the race for first place
| is going to be between Petworth and
Parkview, with odds favoring the latter.
Earlier in the season it looked as if
| Brightwood and Takoma would have a
chance, but the latter is now in fifth
place and Brightwood in third A couple
! more victories for Woodburn will put
| that club into the running.
Perley has again donned a uniform for
the Reed aggregation. His playing was
a little off at the beginning of the sea-
son. but since he has got into harness
| again he is hitting the bali hard, field
ing his position like an old-timer, and
on the bases he is a wizard.
DIR. Work is going to manage the
BrightWood team again, according to
latest reports from that burg. Work re-
signed after the club lost to Parkview
Another report has. it that Mr. Moore
who guided the team into championship
last year, will again take charge of the
team In case this is true Brightwood
will be heard from again
Mckinney. who played such good ball
in the Capital City and Sunday School
leagues last year, has donned Wood
burn uniform and made his first ap-
pearance in Fridays game. He had
busy day of 1t, catching two fly balls, as
sisting in double play, making a sacri-
flee hit and getting two clean hits.
Several new faces will be seen on the
Parkview team when it plays again.
Among the new ones is Mace, who is
catcher. and good one at that. new
pitcher has also been secured, and will
no doubt make his initial appearance
in the next game.
