By n. II. wORLEY.
American Security and Trust Company's
victory over Twining yesterday was I'M
expected by the majority Of the fans al
though il was well known that the Bank
ers had a strong batting team. Snowden's
terrific home run, with two on bases,
and his triple. which enabled him 10 score
on an out, gave the Bankers the contest,
and SnOwden deserves credit for the VIC
tory.
Cornell Company hardly looks Ike the
same team since the series opened
Vaughn. considered to be the best third
sacker in the city. Is out Of the game for
the rest Of the year with a broken ankle.
sustained in game with Ninth. Phlpps
had the nail on the first finger Of his
right hand torn off IN the fourth inning
yesterday. and Baggette is playing with
broken digit Despite these injuries TO
his players. Manager Cornell is optimistic
and cannot be convinced that the Com
missioners viii even give him a run for
his money this afternoon. when the two
mines meet 10 decide the championship OF
section A. Dick" Robertson is slated 70
pitch. and those who have watched the
Departmental Lacquer perform predict
that he will give a good account Of him
self to-day. and make IN for the defeat
sustained in the last game against the
Paperhangers.
Manager Cornell is going out this
morning early to practice for to-days
game. He feels that he may be called
upon to play right field in case any more
Of his players get hurt. Besides, his
friends have pointed out to him that
Maurice OConnor once played a whole
game in right field and that under the
circumstances he ought TO make good.
Hats Off TO the genial Jim" Sprlgman.
Whenever Jim" takes hold Of a team
We are going to pick it to win in the
future, for he's the man who delivers
the goods"
The Twining boys are repeating over
and over to themselves "too much Raw
lings." We agree with them 1t was
Reggie Rawlings who gave the In
dependence Leaguers their defeat when
The Herald team played Twining. and
yesterday "Shag' was on the job and
landed the deciding contest.
The board Of arbitration is waiting I'M
til all the evidence IS in 10 decide on the
eligibility OF Phipps. Of the Cornell Com
pany Mr.. Thatcher. a member OF the
board, stated over the phone that moth
ing could be done until certain parties
had submitted their view Of the case.
Lefty" Clayton played good ban in
left field for the Petworth nine, grabbing
four files and getting an assist In a dou-
bic play at the plate. He also drew !
pass and made one Of his teams three
bingles.
Petworth played the kind Of ball which
won it the pennaut in the Suburban
League yesterday. The boys took heart
when they saw how crippled the Tigers |
were and played twice as hard ONeaI. /
Stewart. and Gallagher were missing
from the Baby Doll" lineup.
Bernie Galaghers hand is stiu in
such shape that he IS unable to pitch. /
and It is barely possible that he will
play in the present series. To say that
his friends are disappointed would be |
putting 1t mildly. as they were counting
on him TO land several games for the /
Suburban Leaguers through hts good slab
work However, Bernie" did not hurt
his hand on purpose and cannot be /
blamed for his present misfortune.
We printed a heading. Tigers Gnaw |
Babes" when the Cornell team defeated |
the Petworth club. in the first battle be- /
tween these two organizations, and after /
yesterdays game we were besleged by
the Petworth tribe with suggestions as
TO an appropriate heading this morning. /
Some Of the headings mentioned were: !
Babes Halt Tigers. Pull Tigers Tail. |
Babes Escape Tigers, Hungry Beasts /
Baked Babes Defy Tigers" and numer-
Gus others. At any rate it IS certain the /
Tigers failed TO get their prey.
Austin Howard struck out three times
when he faced Engle in the Banl1ers-In- /
dependence clash. The fourth time I'D
Howard was safe on the shortstop's err !
ror
1t was learned yesterday that Dutch"
Menefee is ineligible to play with the
Cornell Company nine. he having PLAYED
IN but one OF two games with the Paper /
hangers this year Dutch" would come
In handy about now.
II the matter can be arranged, The !
Washington Herald team will play the
Adams Express nine on the grounds at
Fifth street and Florida avenue northeast
Saturday, instead Of az Thirteenth and D
streets northeast
The Columbia Printers would have
pulled or triple play in yesterdays /
clash with Adams had not one man been I
already out. With Mcmahon and Barron |
on first and second. Stewart hit a fy /
between center and right, which Nc 4
Carly caught after a hard run Roth 4

chased around the bags, making It easv
for McCarty to toss the ball 10 Bovd /
