are those who arise to occasions Inc
pitcner who when he finds himself IN a
pinch, has something in reserve for such

is forced to go at top speed at all stages
naturally weakens when he finds him.

This is the real difference between a sue
cessful and a losing pitcher. So far as
curves and speed are concerned. there Is
heally little difference between any of the
twirlers, but the successful one Is usually
the individual who can think and, with
the natural advantage which the pitcher
has over the batter, outgenerals him.

GAME TODAY:
Navy VS.. Commerce and Labor.
Interstate Commerce Commission pulled
out of the hated cellar position yesterday
afternoon by defeating Interior in fairly
good game. Score. to ?.
The Interstaters accumulated enough
tallies in the opening session to make II
an even break, having scored two. They
were not at all satisfied with that sort
of an ending. and scored in four other
innings.
An injury to one Of Pollock's fingers
was, in a great part, responsible for the
downfall of the Interior boys. One OF his
fingers was split SO badly that he had to
retire from the game. Shallin took up
eral costly mistakes. Not being regular
catcher is a good excuse for Shallin.
The taking out Of Pollock necessitated
the shaking up Of the entire lineup. This
move proved fatal in more than one in
stance.
Orrison, the Interstate inf1elder, found
his batting lamps yesterday and poiled
out three hits. Up until yesterday Orrison
had been batting in the worst kind of
luck. He seldom had trouble in landing
on the sphere, but somehow or other
could not get it to safe ground.
vanderlip, the Interior outfielder. tight
ened up on his batting average string by
putting three out of reach of the fielders,
one of them being good for three sacks
Balzer, who served them across for
Interstate, pitched a steady game and de-
served lots of the credit for the win. He
was also given first-class support by his
teammates.

out fourteen and passed but three. 1t was
the Capital City League, winning both of
