There is no doubt that the exhibition
games which are being played now by
the clubs that have already been de-
ciared pennant winners in the various
circuits will do much toward helping
those teams to play good bail in the
post-season series. Instead of being al
lowed to lag and grow stale through idle
ness. each OF the teams are being showed
through a series of games with other
mines in the same league or else teams
picked from other circuits.
The Aloysius club has already played
two such contests. and has four more
scheduled The American Security and
Trust Company also has several games
scheduled, and has played one. The Car
Department in the Terminal Y. NJ. c. A.

series
BY virtue of the fact that ii has de-
feated Hyattsville. Berwyn and every
other claimant TO the title, the Bladens-
burg team now claims the championship
of Prince Georges county. The Suburb
antics have fast aggregation. and have
heen playing great ball throughout the
entire season. So far mighty few defeats
have been registered against the nine,
and in the majority of the games IL has
PLAYED it has come through with the
victory by one-sided scores.
1t is now desired by the Bladens-
burg club to arrange games with teams
from Montgomery county and the DIS
trict. ANY of the best teams desiring
Sunday games should address Manager
A. B. Duckett. Bladensburg, Nd.
The best part of the success of the
Bladensburg team is due to the able
work of Manager Duckett in the box.
Duckett is a Maryland Agricultural
College tWirler, who did good work
in the box this spring. He pitched
one week later shut out the fast Rock
Hill nine without a hit. only two men
getting to first. Duckett has pitched
good ball all the summer for Bladens-
burg. the NJ. A. c. youngster seeming
almost unhittable in the games in
which he has officiated on the mound.
There is no amateur league in the
city which has had occasion for as
many broils and petty arguments as
has the Commercial. Scarcely a week
has passed during the entire season
that something has not come up for
and wrangling. which should
never have been questioned. Every
action which has taken place in the
league which did not suit the idea OF
some manager has been made the basis
Of protest.
For instance, it might be mentioned
that only a few days ago one Of the
in the circuit accused and
claimed that he could prove that the
of one of the other clubs had
and the result had been that he had
lost the game. On the face of it such a
state of affairs does not seem reason

NEW YORK, August S-James Maiden.

of eastern professional golf champion,

New York and Philadelphia, yesterday

championship business will not begin
until tomorrow. 1t will be decided at
thirty-six holes. medal play, change
from last year. when, after a qualifying
round, eight players were left to continue
at match play.
In addition to Maiden at Rumson yes
terday were Gilbert Nichols, Whining
ton, the metropolitan open champion
Isaac Mackie. Fox Hills, eastern title
holder in 1903; James Thomson. Phila-
Englewood: H. III. Barker. Rumson. and
David Hunter, Essex County Country
Club. The latter made a ~, which was
the best practice round during the days
play. Several of the others, however,
are reported to be in splendid -orm,
particularly so Nichols, who in a match
with George Low at Baltusrol the other
day showed glimpse Of the golf that
recently won him his metropolitan hon
ors, finishing the round in 8S strikes.
Isaac Mackie has also been keeping to
low figures at Fox Hills. SO that the
prospects for good golf this week are
bright.
While at Rumson Nichols will do a
little missionary work I'm connection with
the Philadelphia open championship
which takes place Friday. In recent
times this event has been closed to
players from the Philadelphia district,
but this year, largely owing to the over
lures of Nichols and others, it has been
thrown open to the professionals and
amateurs of all the u. s. G. A. clubs.
Already several of the metropolitan ex-
perts have decided to accompany Nichols
to Whjtemarsh Valley Country Club,

1t is a noticeable fact that the most
successful pitchers these days are those
who. seldom pitch high ball. and yet
there was a time when the high ball had
the batters guessing. Today, however.
the pitcher with the high ones does not
last long. The batsmen have mastered
this delivery and the pitchers have been
forced TO change their style of pitching
entirely. There are decidedly few play
ers these days who hit the low balls and
very few who cannot hit high one. Most
of the long hits made during a season
are on balls that are pitched above the
waist. Not only is ii easier TO follow the
course of ball which is pitched on about
a level with the waist line. but the swing
in most instances is more natural.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LEAGUE.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
GAME TODAY:
Ingram ys. AnacoStia.


With Pinkey Porter on the mound the
Sherwood outfit again yesterday defeated
the leaders, making its second victory
over the Methodists within week. the
contest yesterday was not near SO ex-
citing as the game of last week as the
score indicates, which was to 4.
Jimmy Kerr opposed Porter on the fir
ing line, and ii was an off day for the
elongated twirler. although he would
have made a better showing had the
Methodsts played their usual good game.
BY its playing yesterday Hamline did not
look like a team at the head OF league.
Six misplays were made. Nine hits were
made off Kerr during the six innings,
and he was wild, issuing two passes and
hitting two.
Cotton Loveless was the star Of the
afternoon. The blonde lad figured prom
inently in his teams victory. Out of four
attempts he cracked out three clean sin
giles and scored as many runs. Around
short field he handled himself like big
Lacquer, accepting six chances without
wobbie, and several OF these were difficult
plays.
Brauner pulled off a clever play in the
second when he captured Beachs long
fiy to right center after a hard run. The
clout looked good for three bases.
The Methodists were lucky in the OPEN
ing chapter. when Kerr got a home run
on a one-base c.out to right. The ball
was lost in the tall and uncut weeds, and
Jimmy circled the bases. This hit also
tailed Heinrich, who reached first on d
misplay.
1t will probably be the last game OF the
season that will decide the pennant in the
, Sunday School circuit. There are five
more games to be played. and should the
weather permit the league will close Sat
urday. Hamline and Sherwood are booked
for the closing date. but as the pennant
winners OF the Sunday School League are
scheduled to play It's initial game in the
post-season series on that same day
other arrangements will have to be made.
The schedule for this week follows: To-
day. Ingram VS.. Anacostia: Wednesday.
Ingram VS.. Sherwood; Thursday. North
Carolina vs. Hamline; Friday. Anacostia
VS.. Ingram; Saturday, North Carolina vs..
