Post Office took the lead in the De-
partmental League race yesterday, when
Commerce and Labor fell an easy victim
to the superior playing of the Navy team
Score. 16 to q.
Commerce had poor representation in
the box. and this fault coupled with sew
eral costly errors, is responsible for its
poor showing. The Sailors hit for a total
of fourteen bingles in the six innings Of
play.
Out of the fourteen binges credited TO
the Sailors only seven reached the outer
garden. The other seven were made on
the infield, the most of them being hunts.
The Sailors discovered the Laborites'
weakness and worked il to a finish.
Navy tucked the game away in the sec
end session when it rang up seven
large scores. In this round only one
clean hit was made. Three others We're
made, but they Were Of the very scratchy
order. In this inrirg the Laborites put
up their worse fielding exhibition of the
season, four errors ndNlng been mixed in.
Two new players made their appear
ance for the first time with Navy yester-
day. They are Miles and Jaescke. Both
made a very successful debut. getting
two runs and two hits apiece. With
Capt. DAILY they make the Navy outtield
look as strong as any in the league.
Hats off to Hack" FanShaw. He has
the great distinction of leading the league
