Athletic Club $50 O'Clock.
For the second time this year the Co
Iumbia 1O1 team has lost a game in the
Marquette League. The defeat yesterday
was at the hands of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company, which won
by score of to 3.
The only other defeat of the leaders
was given them in the fourth game OF
the season. when the Pension Bureau
boys took their scalp.
The effective box work of Thompson
for the Hello team and the fielding OF
Egbert in center for the winners caused
the downfall Of the Printers.
Thompson sent eight batters down on
strikes allowed seven hits and uncorked
two wild pitches He kept the hits well
scattered which enabled his team to pull
off the victory.
Weaver did the twirling for the Print
ers, and was hit for six safe drives, three
of them coming in the second inning,
which. with two misplays, netted three
runs. Weaver famed seven batters, passed
three and had one wild pitch.
Suess tried his hardest to keep his team
from being defeated, when out of four
times up he connected for three safe
bases each, while the other was a single
to center.
Engle got the only extra base hit for
the winners when he landed on one of
Weaver's curves in the second inning
after two strikes had been called on him,
and planted the leather in right garden
for three sacks. He would have possibly
scored q home run, but one of his shoes
came off as he neared third base.
Herrell got double, while Reynolds,
Mccarthy and Thornberg each connected
for a single, for Columbia.
landed one of the six hits for the winners
The fielding of Egbert in center for the
winners was perfect. Four hard drives
was labeled for at least two sasks, but
he got under all of them, and thus ena-
bled his team to cop the game.
Engle made the real star catch of the
game when in the seventh inning Wader-
Itch led off with steamer through short
field on line. With the crack of the bat
the shOrtstOp of the Hello team went
toward third base and, while extended at
full length, pulled in the drive.
Five stolen bases were recorded by the
Printers, while the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac boys got only one.
