were forced TO take 20 the nearest
shelter afforded, and there were many
who were dreuched-
The Commissioners had had their in
ming without result Lay went down
as the first out, Salb TO King Handt-
Doe hit one for a single. and went
20 second on BUscher's wild heave-
Hurley, the next hitter, drove one at
BUescher. who threw TO Kinney 70
set IIandiboe. Dutch threw back 10
second. thinking Buscher had caught
the ball on the dy, and both runners
were safe Hurley started for second.
and HessIer drove TO right Hurley
was doubled at first for the third out
Cornell got busy on the bat, and
scored q run Sab was waiting to
line one out when the wind storm
preceding the rain drove everything
before II The rain soon drove all but
few out Of the park, and after Nh
Belts and Mr. Hughes had gotten wet
to the skin the game was called OF
Cornell Company VIII use BUscher
and Moves a its battery this after
noon. While the Commissioners viii
pitch Byrd. using Woodward behind
the plate Robertson was IN q mole
yeSteTdSg al The outset OF the game,
and lost the 1rst game against CoT-
nell IN practically the same Way-
has been COnIended by the majority OF
dOpesterS that Byrd would have the
best chance against Cornell Robert
. son has pitched some wonderfully
good games, but Cornell Company
seems TO have taken his measure me
Cornell batters went to tgs plate yes
terdsy with more confidence man
they did against Gallagher the day
before
The decision Of the commission in
regard TO playing but one game be-
. tween the winners OF the TWO sec
tons is looked upon by many as
wise decision The Bankers have but
one pitcher and would 20 well against
either team Cornell or the COmnls-
siOneTs. for one game As IL now
stands the Bankers viii be relieved
of the worry IN looking forward to
having 70 play two games. and can
ting everything in shape for the game
THURSDAY
Robertson pulled of a bad one yes
terday. With a man on second and
the wind blowing the dust so that It
was impossible TO see anything,
~Robby" cut loose and threw TO Sab,
who fOuled to right The dust was 50
thick that Mr. Belts could not see
aS-faT as the plate, let alone the
1outfieId- Had Sab not fOuled there
is no telling what would have hap
pened- The runner could have walk
ed from second in home without be
ing seen. II would have been i'm
possible to have thrown a ball from
catcher 10 third and had there been
others on bases all that was necessary
would have been 10 start in home.
One or two funny things happened
70 Nj Belts yesterday When the
game had been called and just before
the fans were hurry -2g out an 1nci-
TidUal seriously asked for 4 decision
as follows VIII the run that Cor
nell got IN the first inning count On
toruorrozvis zane M Betts2" And
another asked Mr. Hughes If the Com
missiOneTs and Cornell had agreed 10

know Is how the bugs" are able 10

The question asitated in this paper
in regard TO sending the winner Of
section 3 to represent the city in the
InterciJy series seems to have met
with approval It may be that add
tiOnal evidence and cross and counter
charges Of eligibility viii so involve
the COrEznISSiOn that q decision will
be so difficult that the matter could
best be solved by throwing out the
whole Of section A and allowing sec
ton 3 to represent the city.
II Is understood by many that the
strong eni-prOfessiOual teams and those
in the class with what corresponds TO
Section A in this city. were not allowed
70 start IN Philadelphia and New York
Chicago has the same character Of
teams in Logan Square. and others
which play in the same sort Of league
as the Capital City League Philadel-
pnia has number Of teams as has New
YORK
Those who have seen the teams from
Philadelphia and New York play who
are 10 represent those cities in the inter
city series say that the teams are made
up Of youngsters Most Of the boys are
high school bail Players and are guar
anteed as simon pure amateurs
There IS no idea OF taTorlnE the Amer
lean Security and Trust team over the
Commissioners OF Cornell Company
The point Is simply that Washington
cannot afford 70 send team 10 other
come OF with hOnOrS. and expect 70
enter the same caliber of teams in fU-
sZFe iuteTcIty series Amateur base
q beil IN Washington is not and never mas
been strictly amateur IN any sense Of
the word
The following is clipped from the
Philadelphia. Inquirer, and may give
some idea Of what they think OF the
Washington amateurs, and also what
they know Of the personnel OF the team
fighting for the honor here
