The Naval Medical School team, Mar

the post-season series when 1t defeated
the Car Department team, Railroad Y NJ
c. A. representatives, in a well played
game yesterday afternoon, to 3. Jim
my Rice shot them over for the winners
and he seemed to have everything. But
six hits were garnered from his delivery,
he famed eight, and issued but a single
pass. Hughes pitched good ball in spots,
but a whole ne was rather easy for
the Marquette Leaguers.
The Railroaders started off in the first
round, counting once. Handy, their first
batter, reached first on an error, advanced
when Sullivan was hit, and scored on Cal
lows single. They got another in the
third. when Sullivan hit. stole second and
came in the sixth, Kehl hitting the ball
on the nose for clean one to right center
and coming home on Taylor's double.
Kehl. the hefty left fielder for the losers,

it perfectly. He was given a rousing re-

Hughes seemed to let the runners worry
him too much, and it was on this account
that he was charged with three errors.
Each miscue charged against him was the
result of his overthrowing first In at

they were taking too many liberties with
him.
Both Rice and De Voto the Doctors
battery, are good hitters, each connecting
safely twice in yesterdays battle. Rice
has always been noted as a batsman and
he is played in the outer gardens quite
frequently on account of his heavy stick
work.
Shorty" Harley played great game at
third for the winners. The little fellow

throwing was particularly good, as on two
