natural that he should land q victory be-

works. and with any kind of support

The nine is composed of players Of the
class "A variety, but the boys appear
TO be lacking in teamwork.
This was the first big game in this sea-
sons series that Sam Seay has not taken
the box for Commercial. The leaders
have been very successful with Sam in
the box and were very foolish to make
the change, in spite of the fact that Salb
twiried creditable game from every
standpoint yesterday. Many think the
nine would have made much greater
Roadway with Seay in the box and Salb
working the receiving end.
IL is the intention OF the league officials
TO run off the remaining scheduled games
without a hitch. Now that the race has
narrowed down all the clubs should do
their best to make the league a success
and allow no more forfeited games to

In the Departmental League yesterday
afternoon by downing the Navy team by
score of to !.
Navy was the NEST dangerous in the
eighth inning. The first three men up
in this round got on base, the first by
pass and the two next by errors. Here
they died. for Byrd, who was pitching
for the Commissioners, found the next
two batters for easy strikeOuts and the
next man hit to Handiboe, at short. who
threw to second and caught the man

second base and the way he covered

He pulled off clever piece OF work in
the third inning. With Wiiroy on Sec

Hurley, which he fielded Clearly ant,
made believe he was going to throw to
catch the runner at first. But instead he
held the ball and caught Wilroy on the
dead run toward third. easily retiring
him.
The Navy team had great day in the
fielding line. All Of the infielders worked
together like a charm and pulled OF
some plays that were good to see. Wat

double play in the fourth that is unques-
