TODAY-National Union VS.. Manhattan,
North Capitol and streets northwest.
1t was the opinion Of many some time
back that the Kendall team was win
ming by luck and in course of time
would blow up, but the way its winning
streak has continued discredits that
the beginning by luck it has added
enough new players who are good
enough to keep it among the leaders.
st. Martin seems to have the worst
kind of a time with it's men railing to
season the trouble was caused by few
Catholic University stars, who have
since then been released and others
signed in their stead, but now Manager
Wilkinson has trouble getting strong
team together at times.
The showing of Waverley, although II
has failed to win, has been salts
factory in that that team has never
given in, no matter how badly beaten,
and, noting that, the officials think that
Wayerley will be able to beat the best
with little better luck.
Now that National Union has broken
its losing streak by defeating WaVeriey,
last Thursday, it is hoped that II will
continue to do good work. There seems
nothing at all the matter with that
team except II lacks life, and now that
it has come to life some surprises
are due.
Todav's contest viii give National
Union a chance to prove whether or
not II can keep up its stride. but II
meets a hard one in Manhattan.
Msnhattan's overwhelming defeat of
ST, paul came somewhat as a surprise.
with the way Manhattan was playing
in its last game ii is doubtful If any
team in the league could have done
better against them. Tew allowed nut
tue hits and histeam batted like fiendS.

The Corcoran team is making a strong
bid for the second place, and If the

Without a doubt, the Olympia League

Without doubt, the Olympia League
is having the tightest race of any organ
ization in the city. The leaders have
lost but two more games that the trail
separated by the small margin of fifty
SIX points. In the past week no less
than four teams have been in second
place, and for the last two weeks three
teams have been tied for third place.
At one time four teams were all on even
basis for second place. with 500 per cent.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1911-06-05

The pitching STATS of certain teams
which were in such bad shape have
been gradually rounding into form.
Gill, the mainstay of the Silver Spring
nine. has been twirling gilt-edged ball
lately. winning three straight, while the
Braddock slabmen have been rapidly
rounding into form. Emmanuel seems
to be the worst off in battery material,
as it lacks both a good pitcher and
catcher. Southland is the best fortified
of any of the teams, having in Rogers
the best catcher produced so far, and in
Ebert, Watson, and Litchfield, trio of
gifted beavers. The addition of
Chunk Wheatley makes the staff still
more formidable. Silver Spring has also
added a new pitcher in Curry, who was
the mainstay in the box for his college
up North.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1911-06-05
roDAY-No game scheduled.

TODAY-No game scheduled.
Monday being an off day, as usual, in
the league no games are scheduled.
1t is expected that the postponed
games of the Commercial National
Bank will be played at Georgetown
Field, beginning tomorrow.
The defeat for the second time of the
new team, First National, by the Amer
lean Security and Trust proves conclu-
sively that American Security is the
best of the lot Commercial National
has yet to meet the Security team.
Without doubt the games seen in the
Ipast week in the league are better in
every way than those played before the
schedule was revised and the teams
strengthened.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1911-06-05

Bob Jones who was injured by a
pitched ball several weeks ago, will be
back in the game and should lend a
helping hand to the tailendeTs.

Tomorrow is the big day in the
league. The leaders will endeavor to
get the best of each other, and all
who have ever witnessed any of the pre-
vious battles between Park View and
Petworth will surely turn out, as they
know what to expect.
