-.
Yesterdays contest was one of those
seven-inning affairs and had to be called
on account of darkness.
'Biddy'' King started yesterdays bat
lie for the losers and was knocked out
# the box I'm the third round. He was
relieved by Stroble. one of the Southern
Railway pitchers. and he. too. failed to
check the hard-hitting southeast boys.
That clever center fielder for the Sew
ge Pumping Station. Earl Steele, hit
he ball like fiend yesterday. Four trips
lie made to the pan and each time hit the
ball into safe territory. the first two
swatS going for an extra base. This same
chap led the Suburban League last sea-
son in batting.
"Cy'' wilkins was on the firing line for
the winners. and he twirled a good game,
allowing his opponents to connect with
his delivery for only six hits. He re-
corded eight strikeouts and pass ID two.
Wilkins but few days ago held the Com
missioners down without sign of hit.
He also pitches for the Government Hos
pitai base ball team.
Farewell. a cat cher of the L. S. s. Nav
flower. played right field for the Sewage
Pumping Station. His catch of Fenton's
drive to right in the third inning was the
feature of the game.
"Old" Clements is playing his usual good
game at first for the southeast boys.
Clements is an old player around these
sand lots and is still there with the goods.
"Kooch' O'Neil starred at short for the
winners yesterday. This lad Is considered
one of the best all-around players in
town.
The Sewage Pumping Station and the
Aloysius are now tied for first place. Both
teams have won four games and lost one.

Today's game-AIt. Pleasant vs. Silver
Spring.
Yesterdays game was a good. old-fash-
toned smuggling match of the simon pure
variety, Takoma beating Brightwood 10
to 10. Thirteen hits for Brightwood and
fourteen for Takoma were the total swat
ting efforts of the day. Maddox pulled
down the biggest individual total with
four clean bingles. one of them a double.
while Patterson was right behind him
with three of the line drive variety
Every time that Patterson hit there were
ming. the sacks were populated and he
scored the multitude.
Brightwood outfielded Takoma, making
only three errors to their opponents eight.
Galliger was the principal offender. both
of his misplays being on infield ground
ers. Maddox, thes only other player to
make two errors. made two wild pitches
In the first inning, which allowed men tt
move up on the bases.
Thomas made a pretty stop Of Grants
high line drive in the third inning. He
jumped In the air and pulled the hit dowr
back-handed while running. and 1t looked
at first as II he had caught the ball. but
We was unable to ho'd t. His stop robbed
Grant OF at least triple.
Takoma fell on Payne's offerings In the
last inning, and put across four runs
thereby storing the game away in the
Won column.
Mcfarland surely got his in that third
inning. Five hits. four bases on balls a
hit batsman and an error by the short
stop enabled Takoma to pull the game
out OF the fire and put ii on ice 1t is
not often that ten runs In an inning ar,
scored in the Suburban League.
