That the Shopmen did not score any
more than three runs was clue TO the
fact OF the good pitching of Callow OF

throughout the game. and struck out
eleven OF the opposing batsmen. His
support was also good, only three errors

which was costly far as runs were

The feature of the game was a beauti-

Owing to the excellent pitching Of Salb
and the heavy hitting OF the Commercial
nine. the leaders whitewashed the Amer
ican National team by the large score of
10 to yesterday afternoon. Commercial
scored in every inning with the exception
of the second, and every man on the
team got one or more bingles except
Hoover. Quinn. playing left field for the
losers, got the only two hits garnered off
Salb's delivery. Stoddard of Commercial
not only got the first home run made in
this league so far this season, but lined
out couple of hits good for the circuit.
Commercial still has a clean sheet of
victories. II this nine keeps on banging
the ball its progress toward the pennant
will be hard to check. Riggs National
plays the leaders in the near future, and
many predict Manager Childs' crew will
land victory. All the teams are pulling
for Commercial to break into the lost col
umn, as they fear the boys who hail
from 14th and G are getting too big a lead
in the race for first honors
Salb. who is playing his first year with
Commercial this season. has proven that
he is quite a versatile player He is the
demonstrated the fact that he can play
the infield and pitch. He struck out fif-
teen men yesterday and allowed but two
hits. Such player is very valuable to a
nine, and it is self-evident that CONNER
cial picked UP a live one in Salb.
American National needs a pitcher and
needs one badly. In all the games the
tailenders have played to date this has
been very noticeable. The team itself is
weak with the stick, and to stand any
kind of a showing 1t will be necessary
for the management to land twirler
who possesses the ability and talent TO
hold the other teams in check. This team
should land one of the high school pitch
ers. who would be glad to secure employ
ment during the summer months.
Commercial is saving Sam Seay for all
the big games. Seay has been pitching
all the important games for the winners,
but ne has been twirling base ball long
enough to know that 1t is no use pitching
any more than is absolutely necessary.
Seay is a heady pitcher. for he does not
appaer Ito have much of an assortment,
but he usually gets by with his four and
five-hit games. Must know something.
American Security vs. National City
today.
Although Commercial has quite a col
lection of heavy hitters. nevertheless,
this nine lost one of its best batters when
brennan quit the team. brennan was a
left-hand batter and was usually good
game. He has left the city and will not
be seen in the Commercial lineup this
season. Golabast is taking his place in
right field.

Jim Corbett's suggestion that Kauf-

able to give him a lot OF good exercise
hut thu. three fellows suggested by Cor

is this sort OF work that Jeffrfes needs
most, for though he may outclass John
SON on past performance, there is no
doubt that he must enter the ring in his
best condition to score decisive victory.

game, and. having the credit OF being .
great defensive fighter, he is apt to wear

II have studied Jim closely since have

From every standpoint L honestly believe
Jim is going TO be better in this fight
