the leaders and make the race more in

| could be accomplished would be for the
| boys playing on the weakest teams to I'M
| prove their teamwork by more practice.
| 1t has been very noticeable that these
same teams allow the opposing nine to
score a number OF runs in the early
| the last few innings. This plainly shows
| that these teams holding down poor
| positions i'm the race are sadly in need
| of practice, and the sooner they realize
| it the better it will be for them and the
| whole league.
If the Mayne brothers continue their
| good work in purloining bases they will
| lead the league In the number stolen
| hands down Both these boys are fast
| and are also good sliders. so it naturally
| takes a perfect throw from the catcher
! to check them. They got half the stolen
bases made by both teams in y>ester-
days contest.
| American National tried Dooley on first
| base yesterday. and he handled himself
creditably. He also annexed two of the
| four hits made by his teammates. Amer
| lean National presents different lineup
| the nine is not winning many games.
The whole success of winning nine is
! playing the men in the same positions as
| long as possible. The boys composing
this nine are not what one might term
all-round ball players. and, for this rea-
| son. the management should place the
| players in the positions in which they
can produce the best results. and keep
them there throughout the season, I'M
| less of course, better players are OBJ
tanned. If this advice was followed the
nine might succeed in climbing up a few
notches in the race.
The poor condition of the grounds con-
tinues to make each nine make several
errors. and at the same time causes many
one-sided games 1t would be good idea
if the diamond was rolled by a steam
roller. 1t would not be much of an ex-
pense to the league. and would obliterate
the many slip-ups the players make In
handling ground balls. An infielder has
comes to compelling him to stop hard-hit
ground balls on a rough diamond, then
something should be done as soon as
possible.

Pesworth forfeited yesterdays game to
Silver Spring. The teams later played AN
exhibition game. Silver Spring winning
by a score of ) to ].
IL was unfortunate that Petworth had
to forfeit to Silver Spring. it not only
knocked the Red and Gray lads out of
the lead but it will have a bad effect on
the team 1t is said that several of the
players were sore because they could not
play in every game, and instead of re-
porting at Petworth yesterday. went to
another team, which they knew would
put them in the game. 1t shows a very
poor spirit to throw down a team for
such a reason. Incidentally the men who
failed to appear are the ones who have
been playing the poorest ball for the
Petworth team.
1t is remarkable how much good an eX-
hibition game can do. Several discoveries
which may later on help the teams out
wonderfully came TO light yesterday. Al
though Petworth may not know it, it
he's in lie Due a pitcher who will prove
troublesome to many of the other teams
in the league. In case any of the regular
pitchers fall down under the strain of a
hard race LIE Due may prove of the great
est use to his team.
The same is true of Mccarthy. the Sill

terrific drive over left field fence that
went for the circuit. Again in the sec

The Cornell boys knocked Burch off the
mound in two rounds, during which time
his delivery was touched up for seven
safeties that netted six runs.
A fast double play pulled off by Billie
Keane and Johnnie SaIb in the second
was quick piece of work.
Lefty Wooden. who relieved Burch at
the close Of the second. showed good
form, holding his opponents down to four
hits. Had Lefty" started the contest
probably he would have got away better
than Burch, as it seemed to be the po-

1t was a big surprise yesterday when
the fans looked toward third base and
saw Curly Brown back the old job
again. Curly played good game. only
he was too anxious in he first inning to
