In sizing the teams up there is very
little, if any, difference in the line-ups to
choose from. In the outfield both teams
are about evenly matched. as well as In

a little better than Adams. This series

Today's game-Corne.I vs. Midways. $50 pm.
In a one-sided and uninteresting game
yesterday afternoon in the Capital City
League. the Aloysius club walked away
from Navy Yard by the score Of Il to I.
The game started off we'll, but I'm the
second Nuss blew up and the North Cap
ital street boys hammered the ball to all
corners Of the lot, registering eight runs.
Soldier Boy Snyder saved his team
from being shut out by cIouting the horse
hide over right-field fence for homer in
the final session. Snyder was the only
Navy Yard batter that could hit either
Leonard or Hummer. and he got one off
each twirIer. Although he is an outfield-
er, Snyder played third Inc first part of
yesterdays game and later went behind
the bat. displaying good form at both
positions.
Jack Leonard started the battle yester-
day for Aloysius and held the Machinists
down to one hit during the four innings
he officiated. Manager Maurice O'Connor
at the close of the fourth, and after his
team had recorded twelve TALES to the
good, pulled Leonard out of the box in
hopes of saving him until Thursday, and
let Bob Hummer work the rest of the
game. 1t was also a good day for Kun
mer. as he pitched the same kind of ball
as Leonard. If not a shade better, allow
ing one b!ngle and not passing a man.
Jack Hurley put up a star game at
second for the pennant fighters. His dou-
BILE to right center drove in Aloysius first
two runs. Jack accepted with ease every
thing that came into his territory.
Sullivan, the clever third sacker of the
winners. proved to be the leading slug
ger of the contest by smashing out three
singles out of as many times up.
Only one ball went to the .Aloysius out
field during the whole game, and Price
bagged this one.
All of those four errors of the Navy
Yard proved to he costly.
