| Walter Herrell is the sensation Of the
season In the amateur ranks Of Wash
ington. The blond twirler has been
striking out on an average OF seventeen
men In every game that he has pitched.
Previous to yesterday, Herrell held the
strike out record with nineteen men fam
ming the cir in the Commercial League.
but yesterday he went that two better,
and when the final count had been taken
twenty-one men had been struck out by
the speedy wonder. Not a hit was made
by the Willard team.
While the class Of ball played in the
Commercial League is not the fastest in
the District, there are some mighty good
ball tossers In the commercial houses,
and the best twirlers have been bumped
in that league Herrell deserves lot
OF credit for his feat of tanning twenty
one men in a nine-inning game. This is
the record Of the District, amateur or
professional
There are still forfeits In the Olympia
League. notwithstanding the boast Of
President Copp that there would be no
more. The many forfeited games are
hurting amateur ball, and the sooner the
officials get next to themselves, the bet
ter 1t will be for all concerned.
Manager Clum. Of the Brookland team.
caused his nine to have a game chalked
UP in their lost COLUMN yesterday by
not obeying the orders Of the umpire.
Even the leaders forfeit-Hamline
failed to appear yesterday in the Sunday
School League and North Carolina won
a game. Hamline would have won In a
walk had nine men been on the field, as
the Carolina team is the Joke OF the
league. There are few good ball players
on the team. but the wealth Of poor ones
keep the fast boys from showig their
true form.

yesterday in the Marquette League when
the Naval Medicos defeated them. to s.
