Tomorrow promises to be the biggest
day of the year at Petworth. Besides an
elaborate display of fireworks, athletic
games will be held and speeches and
singing will also be very much in evil
dence. The three mile marathon, open
only to members of the Petworth A. c..
promises to be the best performance of
the day. There will be several other
races open to everybody.
Reed A. C.s performances of late are
a big contrast TO their work early In
played they have won two and tied
the other playing against the three lead
ing teams.
WOODBURY.. after putting up wonderful
games in the last two weeks, took a de-
cded slump Wednesday and lost to
Takoma. supposed to be the weakest team
in the league. Petworth did the same
trick, losing to Reed. tailender in the
league since the beginning of the season
Ransom will probably not be seen in a
Petworth lineup for some time. He was
responsible for Parkview trimming his
team last Saturday. as he dropped a fly
ball after two were out, paving a way for
Parkview to score five runs.
Stevenson of Petworth accused himself
OF having lost confidence when he
dropped Hoover's easy fly in the Reed
Petworth game Thursday.
Bernie" Gala CHER will probably pitch
the next Parkview- Woodburn game for
the former outfit. Gallagher has been
playing second base for that team for
some time. but Manager Nau hopes to
have him In good shape when these two
teams clash again.
Woodburn appears to he ParkvieW :
hnodoo. The former club has won the last
two games played with the latter nine.
Ba gette. who is catching and playing the
outfieid for Parkview. was responsible for
one of the losses. He threw the ball
away when Telaylng IL home in an at
tempt to catch Steele.
Coach Baden of the Petworth team is
a little riled over the fact that his tricks
are being published too much. Maybe
Baden forgets that other teams tricks
are also given an airing in the papers
When il comes to natural ability as ball
players. Hiser and Steele of Wcodburn
have them all beat. The former handles
himself more like ball player than any
other man i'm the league. lie not only
goas after every bali hit his way, but he
generally hits the ball out OF reach when
he steps up to the plate. Tie and Steele
are the most natural and most feared bat
tiers in the circuit
Michael. a Post Office pitcher made his
debut in the league with Petworth last
Thursday. He was pounded hard and
had TO lose his game to the tailenders
Dutch Heinrichs of the Treasury OUTFIT
also made his debut with Petworth the
! same day. His work was anything but
good. both III the field and at bat Dutch
had some excuse. though, as he has a
bad ankle. which causes him TO worry
/ considerably.
The Suburban League has the nick of
. ball players in the city. There are more
well known players in this circuit than
any other organization In the city.
Those who are well acquainted with the
various amateur leagues around town are
predicting great things for the team which
cops the pennant In the suburban circuit
when that team gets into the battle for
the District championship. At present all
OF the teams are about evenly balanced.
! but those in the lead have an advautape
over the rest of them. Parkview has been
| picked as the probable winner, but its
! work of late will have 10 improve a who1.
/ lot IL it expects TO get into the post
! season series.
| Donaldson. the Tenleytown boy p,ay-
| ing with Woodburn. is playing about as
| good ball IS any outfielder in the league
| He not only gobbles everything that
! comes his way in the field hui 81 the
bat he Is generally. good for a hit. His
