Good pitching featured the games In the
amateur leagues yesterday. There was
| not q single contest in which one or the
other Of the twirlers was not In the
calcium with a well pitched game to his
credit.
| There were one or two contests in which
| box. but. as a general rule. the contests
which were lost were the result OF poor
fielding on the part Of the men behind
the man on the mound.
In three or four of the leagues pitch
ing duels featured the games. In the
Capital City Becker and Moore, for the
Navy Yard and Sewage Pumping Station,
respectively, went seven innings to a Q
too score. both men doing alright work
in the box. Each twrler allowed but
four hits. while Becker struck out six
and Moore eight. In the Commercial
League Herrell and Thompson engaged
in a mound battle, and both men did ex-
cellent work Thompson. for the c. & P.
Telephone Company, allowed the Walford
for the Walford club, let the Telephone
men down with but four bingles. Bus
cher and Leonard, for the Bureau and
Aloysius teams in the District League,
both did good work, as did Smith, Flynn
and Birch. who did the tw1rling for the
Ingram and Hamline mines in the Sun
day School circuits.
There were other games In which one
of the pitchers did good enough work to
insure his teams victory. Dorr, for Ten
Corcoran Cadets in the Marquette
League, while Chism, on the mound for
Parkview. held the Brightwood nine safe
at all stages of the game In the Sub
urban League.
Technial High and Business meet this
afternoon on the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A.
grounds in another game in the high
school series. While the Business team
should be much more effective with
Burnley. its star twirler. in the box. Tech
should not have SO very much dimculty
In getting away with the long end Of the
score. The Manual Trainers have q good
hitting club. and one that with the good
pitching which 1t is sure to have to back
1t up is bound to make any Of them
hustle to win from it. i.
Catholic University leaves today for the
north. where 1t will play today and Sat-
urday. Delaware College and Manhattan
College are the two institutions which
are to be met on the trip.
The team was originally booked to
team in South Orange, n. J.. but the
game was Cancelled.
The two best teams in the Capital City
League are booked to meet this after
noon at the Capital City Park. Cornell
Company and the Pumping Station will
be the contending mines, and the contest
will serve to tell much as to the relative
strength Of the two aggregations. The
two teams are at present leading the
league. one with four games won. and the
other with two won and one lost. 1t Is
more than pribable that the two men
uonedteams will finish the season In one
two order. and the contest betwee nthem
for first honors IL likely to be a close one
The Georgetown team has at last come
out of its slump and is playing the kind
of ball of which II is capable. The players
are hitting the pill for keeps, more than
making up for loose work on the part of
the pitchers. II certainly Is a shame
that some. of the hits now being secured
could not have come when the pitchers
were going we'll and the team was losing
games by two and three to one scores.
The Hilltoppers are booked to meet the
South Orange Field Club this afternoon,
while tomorrow they go up against their
old rival, Fordham.
1t is rather a queer coincidence that
Hunt, one of the best hitters on the
Georgetown team, has done very little
teammates have done the majority of
their smuggling. The only noteworthy
piece of stickwork done by the Blue and
Gray center helders was last Saturday,
when he came across with homer that
cleared the bases in the game with
Catholic University.
It IL almost certain that when the
Bankers League meets this afternoon the
old league will be broken up and new
one formed. Just what teams Will be
admitted to the circuit Is not known.
Sitterdins was the big chief with the
willow yesterday In the game which
Georgetown played against the Staten
Island Athletic Club, the Blue and Gray
second haseman getting two home-run
clouts out of four trips to the pan.
There were two forfeits yesterday in
the Amateur leagues. In the Railroad Y.
NJ C. A. League the Shops team let
the Union Station nine win by default.
while in the Departmental circuit the In
terror nine quit after one of Its players
was elected from the field for uncouth
language. giving the contest to the In
terstate team.
There will be a meeting of the indie
pendence League tonight, at which 1t Is
intended to make q choice Of q team to
take the franchise of the Twining club.
While nothing definite has been given
out II is practically certain that the club
which will get the place is the Sham
