style, especially in the pirches.
I'm speaking of timely hitting Silver
Spring should be placed among the
best. judging from yesterdays game.
All. four runs came from home runs,
two such drives being made each with
cne on base. Monroe hit for the cir
score, and George Gill won his own
game with home run with Clark on
base.
Gill pitched clever ball all through
the game, but four hits being made off
him. These were well Scattered and
only one figured In the score. Gill

Cash pitched good ball. but wildness
cost him the game. He gave only. two
passes, but each was followed by a
home run. 1t was only by this long
distance clouting that Silver Spring
could cross the plate. -. -.

versatility as a ball player by going

Announcement of Abandon
ment Premature, Say
: the Officials.
POSTOFFICE STILL
HAS CHANCE TO WIN
Pennant Fight Gets Exciting as
the End Is Drawing
Nearer

The announcement that the Depart
mental League would not be in the field
next year. is little premature.
according to one of the officials in the
league. While the race has this year
been a two-team one throughout, there
has been the greatest rivalry between
the contestants, and the league is now
on as sound and substantial a basis as
ever before.
so far as I know" said this official,
nothing has been said by any of the
officers or managers of the league about
there being no league next year, and
If anybody knows, l ought to-"
Teams Next Year
In talking with three managers Of
teams, the fact was brought out that
they expected to have their teams in
the race next year as usual, and each
was optimistic over the future of the
league.
While Commerce and Labor disposed
of Navy rather easily yesterday, and
gained a greater lead over Postoffice,
the race is nat yet over, and Postoff1ce
still has a chance to finish in the lead.
The Laborites have five games remain
ing in the schedule, and they must win
ali five in order to cop the bunting.
These games are with Navy. Agri-
culture, Interior, and two with Inter-
state.
Comparative Strength.
Navy is the only team besides the
Mail Fingers that has lowered the
colors Of Commerce and Labor, but the
Laborites should have little difficulty
with other teams.
Postoffice has remaining one game
each with Agriculture and Interior, and
should It win both and Labor lose one,
the race will be tied.
There are several other postponed
games, but they probably will not be
played, since they have no relation to
the leading teams.
