GAME TO-DAY:
Sligo AIT. Whitehayen.

Braddock yesterday sprang surprise
upon the Silver Spring aggregation when
1t defeated the suburban team 8 to 5.
After their showing against Whitehaven
last Wednesday. the Braddock boys were
rated as rather weak, but from yester-
days exhibition it would seem that they
will rank among the best.
Braddock gave beautiful example of
what good base running could do in a
tight game. In the first inning Cash
walked, went to second on u passed ball
and then took the Silver Spring intield "
surprise by this daring sprint for home
on Malioy's infeid out, third to first.
Cash Is undoubtedly ono Of the fastest
men In the lea que. and he put his speed
to good use in the third when he beat
out a bunt directly in the third baseman's
hands.
Larman. the little right fielder. Of the
Silver Spring team, made q pretty throw
to the plate In the second inning, catch
ing Handy, who was attempting to score
on a single In his territory Larmau
came close to robbing Handy and Benten
OF bingles hit into right center, each
time falling few inches short OF getting
to the ball before 1t dropped.
Coursey. on first for the Braddock nine
demonstrated the fact that he has an
arm second to none, when he snatched
two men VINO attempted to go from first
to third on tntleld outs. In the nth in
ming he caught Saunders by feet and In
the sixth he caught Kamm when he
tried to turn the trick. Coursey was also
there with the willow, sending out two
timely hits, both driving in runs.
The Silver Spring team pulled off fast
double play in the fourth when Gill
caught q fly from Cusack's bat and sent
it to home and caught Handy. who had
tried to turn the fly into a sacrifice fly.
Remsburg and Cash of Braddock
worked the bunt and run play to per-
lection i'll the third. Remsburg was on
first and was Off with the pitchers mo-
ton; Cash hunted down the third base
line and beat the throw to first, and in
the meantime Remsburg kept on to third.
The play ratified the Suburbanites SO
much that four runs were chased over
the pan that inning

Travis, White, Herreshoff and
Ti||inghast Survive in Play
Over Garden City Links.

NEW YORK. May 8.-CIass won out in
the second and semi-final rounds Of the
invitation tournament at the Garden City
Golf Club yesterday. For the chief cup,
Walter J. Travis OF the home club and
Gardiner W. White of Oakland, the inter-
scholastic champion, survived, while In
the second set Fred Herreshoff, the met
ropolitan title holder, and \. w. Tilling-
hast of Philadelphia reached the decisive
stage.
The match of the day resulted in the
semi-final tilt between Travis and Kirk
by. At the outset the Englewood cham
pion got the jump on the veteran, win
ming the first two holes I'm IS, and sup
plementing the fine start by annexing
the fourth and sixth holes. This placed
Kirl1by up. and it looked bad for the
"Old Man.
For q time thereafter the tide turned.
Travis winning tho seventh and eighth
holes and halving the ninth, so that
Kirkby turned for home up, the cards
reading 81 to 10 in favor of the leader.
Kirkby became wild at the eleventh and
thirteenth holes, both of which he lost.
That squared the match. but when
Travis made q hash of the fourteenth

The Sewage Pumping Station made it
three straight yesterday by defeating
the Eastern Athletic Club outfit in a six
inning game by the score IL to 6.
II the Wharfrats keep up the present
gait they are going. Cornell and Navy
! Yard will have to strengthen their line
ups a bit in order to get a victory away
from these youngsters.
Martin. lad who lay around the Capt.
tai City League Park for two seasons.
and whom Cornell and others refused to
give trial, has proved to be a real find.
Yesterday he did the twirling for the
winners and held Eastern Athletic Club
down to five hits. Martin has participated
in all three of Sewage Pumping Station
games, and has impressed the fans to be
the Walter Johnson OF the Capital City
League
Old Horse Larry Kicker, an old-timer,
who has been tossing the horsehide
around these sand lots for the past ten
years, worked two innings for Manager
Walfords aggregation yesterday. and
seemed to have retained his old cunning
that made a name for him years ago.
Larry pitched the last two rounds, and,
although he was touched up for triple
and a double. he displayed some of his
old-time form.
The Sewage Pumping Station pulled off
a triple play yesterday that brought the
crowd to it's feet. In the third Mccarthy
doubled to center. Trowbridge got safe
on first when Teddy" Murray dropped
his high fly. Harry Zannelli, the next
man up, hit line drive to Collinsworth,
which lie nailed with one hand and then
threw to Murray. doubling up Mccarthy.
Murray touched the bag fast and made
quick throw to Mullin, just catching
Trowbridge by a hair. 1T was nifty
piece Of work.

p,re F"negan waited until 30. five min
utes after the time specified, before
awarding the game. but as not a single
member Of the Trust Company boys had
arrived the game was declared forfeited.
Just why this game was allowed to go by
default so early in the season Is hard to
understand. but it has been limited that
there was a misunderstanding because of
the drill that occupied the White Lot the
day before.
Manager Echloff Of the Second Was h-

In which he has rounded his team into
shane In very short time he has gath
cred q fairly good bunch OF ball tossers
who by hard work together, will give any
team in the league fight for first honors.
Umpire Finegan who has been filing
the shoes OF Umpire Edmonston in the
last two games, has shown that he knows
the game from to Il. and the league is
to be congratulated upon securing the
services Of two such competent handlers
of the indicators.
There will not be a game in the league
today owing to the fact that the Com
mercial team is scheduled to play. All
the games of the Commercial nine are
considered postponed until the middle OF
May. because Of the fact that the boys
are working of evenings on the consoli-
dation of the National City Bank with
the Commercial National.

In the poorest played game OF the sea-

Brightwood lads Yesterday, II to 3. The
game was a farce, and when Umpire

for the fact that they were getting paid

The TrcaSurites continued their good
work yesterday, when they trimmed the
Law aggregation in nine full innings of
play, IA to . Cooke, who had twirled the
game Wednesday against Traffic, again
entered the mound and performed well.
Two runs were scored by the Lawites,
both resulting from wild pitches. In
every inning Cooke had the opposition
well IN hand and was at no time IN dis
tress.
In the first inning Law scored one, when
Rosenthal. first up, slammed one over
MaynardS head for two bases. An out
advanced him to third from where he
scored when Cooke uncorked one OF his
wild filings The second run was garnered
In almost the same manner, In the second.
The Treasurites' heavy hitters com
menced in the first session and hammered
two runs over the pan. Continuing In
the second. they walloped Terry for four
more hits. counting three runs In every
inning the heavy artillery of the winners
was busy and had no trouble in finding
Terry. In all, fourteen hits were garnered
off the delivery Of the Law captain.
Rosenthal OF Law furnished the best
fielding plays during the nine innings.
Every one Of his chances came to him
hard. but the little shortstopper gathered
them easily. In the third Jones slammed
one at him that was bouncing badly.
Rosenthal. however. by clever stop and
accurate throw got his man a step.
In the eighth inning after Tate had
singled, he electrified the crowd by seer
ing from the initial sack on Parker S
long single to right center. Parker was
the batting star of the afternoon. The
Dig second sacker Of the Treasurers clout-
ed out four safe drives for a total of
five bases. In the field he handled in
