after Callan, the first man up. had hit
safely and had landed on second when
Colbert's intended sacrifice was booted,
Goucher attempted to lay the ball down
and popped up a little fly to Walling,
who threw to Ermatrote at second.

at first This is the first triple play ever
made in the Olympia League.
pat" Diver has made six hits in the
nine times he has gone to bat in the
Independence League. Diver is also a
member Of the ST. Stephens club of the
Capital City League, and is playing grand
ball for Luitichs outfit.
The board OF managers of the Sunday
School League. at a meeting Tuesday
evening, reconsidered their action of the
week before in awarding the game sched-
uled for May rs between Hamline and
Sixth TO the latter team by forfeit, and
the matter now stands as a postponed
game.
After losing TO Anacostia Tuesday,
Manager Love. Of the Ninth street team.
appeared on the grounds Wednesday
minus his mustache. which has hereto
fore graced his pleasant countenance.
1t was intimated by some of his friends
that ne had gone in mourning over the
loss Of the game.
Pierce Riddle. of Peck. is undoubtedly
the best first baseman in the Sunday
School circuit and at the rate he is
lambasting the horsehide this season he
must be numbered as one OF the most
valuable men playing on any OF the
teams. He is also a good pitcher. his
| team winning the first game taken from
Ninth with him in the box.
We acknowledge the unreliabiIlty of the
dope" There's no way out Of 1t. Three
weeks ago it looked like the Depart
mental race was settled, and now there
| is the hottest kind Of a fight being waged
around the top. The Farmers succeeded
in handing the Laborites lemon in their
| famous hoodOo style this week and tum-
/ bled them from the top The question
/ now is How long can the Commissioners
/ hold their point Of vantage?
| Vaughn, the Post-ofice third sacker,
and a player for whom we have the high
est respect and best feeling, is terrifying
/ himself for the post season series by play
| ing with the Cornell Company nine in
the Capital City league since his team in
/ the Departmental circuit is out of the
running. Just watch EN- jump and
you've got 10 laugh.
Joe" Geihel made two triples IN Thurs
| days Independence League game, one In
/ the last inning which he tried to stretch
into home run. Had the plucky Twin
| ing baekstop slid safely 10 the plate,
/ the New York avenue tribe would
have won the game. Such is base
! ball, and the goddess of luck
plays no favorites. The decision was
/ Haislip had relayed the ball, Joe" would
/ have tailed. Haislip. who covers the left
garden for Krafts' men, is a big husky
chap with a whip as true as steel, and he
: fires the ball TO the plate like shot out
OF cannon.
Hover is playing a great third base for
Twining. He and johnnie" Widmayer
! are considered the two best third sackers
/ in the Independence League.
Lynch, Manhattan's centerfelder.
| sprained his ankle trying to slide 10
second base in the sixth inning Thursday.
Engle would have won his game against
Manhattan had not some of his team
mates gone up a tree in the eighth when
| they should have frightened up. The crowd
/ at McDevitts is strictly for Manhattan,
and when that team is behind they always
raise the merry old tim-jamboree in the
! last session. 1t was that way Thursday;
! everybody from the baby up to the Oldest
| inhabitant pulling for Kraft's aggrega-
/ ton, and despite their commanding lead,
! the Twinlng boys wiited like flowers in a
snow storm. Most of the Siaahattan's
/ bunts which We're so effective. were laid
down the first base line. where they
mixed up the first baseman and pitcher
on that old question Of covering the bag.
Undoubtedly the defeat sustained by
! the Aloysius Club in Tuesdays game
with the Midways viii have an important
/ bearing on the pennant race Both Man
ager O'Connor and Manager Cornell have
been confidently expecting to win every
game scheduled since the teams struck
their stride. Aloysius has had disap-
! pointment after disappointment from the
start and the fact that Bernie" Gala
CHER has not struck the form expected of
him has been great blow to the Church
men.
The advent Of the Southeast Club into
| the Commercial League was the cause OF
much joy on the part of The Washington
/ Herald and Berry & Whitmore teams, in
asmuch as the newcomers got busy
right off the reel and handed the R. P.
Andrews aggregation a sound drubbine.
BY the way, this y. y. Walford nine is
no SLOUGH either
Every since be broke into the umpiring
game, Dutch" Newman has been noted
for his ability to carry into effect his de-
cisions Dutch" plays no favorites. and
there have been instances when he has
lost good friends by putting them out OF
