Small Scores In Most of
Games In District
Yesterday.

Judging from the many one-sided
games this season and the heavy hit
ting of winners, yesterdays amateur
league games were worthy of notice in
that scores We're unusually small in
most instances and hitting light.
Interstate and Agriculture, in the De-
partmental League. played a 2-to-l
game, Interstate winning. But twelve
hits were made by both teams. Com
pany K got away with Tenleytown, in
the Marquette circuit, winning out
to S. Fourteen hits were made as a
total against some twenty in games last
week. In a large score game in the
Railroad League but fourteen hits were
made by the two teams playing.
Ninth won a large-score 12-to-2 game
against Anacosua In the Sunday School
circuit. getting a total of nine safeties
to three for the losers. The Havenner-
Telephone game was a good one.
Havenner made four hits to three tor
Telephone. winning by 10 2.
In but two games, those in-the Olym-
pia and District Leagues did the hit col
umn run into double figures. Southland
drove out nineteen hits and Aloysius
made ten, which were by far the best
hitting marks of the day.

The Bakers, in their turn, pulled off

Murphy drove the pill to center.

game and famed ten in four innings,
