Ty Cobb and Crawford
Have Fine Stunt on Bases

There has surely been no
ground for complaint over the
way wahoo Sam Crawford and
Tyrus Raymond Cobb have been
harmonizing on the sacks this
year. The two speedy game
wreckers have been pulling on
stunts that have had the foe in
the air almost daily.
In both games Of the Cleveland
series Sam and Ty have wedged
a double steal into the first in
ming. with the results disastrous
to the foe. It's simple. too. -
Ty Is on first and takes third
on Crawford's almost inevitable
hit. Sam keeps on to second
with a rush II they try to get Ty
at third. Otherwise. he saunters
down Just to draw the throw.
Sam then catapults into the bag
from the rear. and. while the
man with the ball Is trying to
touch him. Ty scores.
II they let Sam take second
without really trying hard to get
him. Ty stands on third and gives
the foe the siggle.
This play had both the Sox and
the Maps up in the air at various
times. and was noticeably discon-
certing to the pitcher.

Amateur Season Launched;
Twelve Leagues Under Way
Three Games Are Called on Account of Darkness

schedules yesterday and good games

Of two new teams In the circuit the re-
suit was a surprise to the fans OF the
Hill.
Two games were called before the
necessary number Of innings had been
played on account of darkness The
contest in the r. r. Y. NJ c. A. League
was called in the first half Of the fifth
with the score 8 to o in favor of the
Car Department team. The B. & o.
nine never had a look-in with Manager
Taylor's boys.
The Suburban League game between
the Brookland and Takoma teams was
called In the fourth, with the score to
In favor Of the Brookland nine. The
wind. that cause Of a great deal OF trou-
BILE for all leagues, halted the Suburban
game for a half hour. and when the
game was resumed 1t was too dark for
further play.
There are twelve amateur leagues
now playing ball in the District, more
than ever before In the history Of the
Capital City. While a little difficulty
Is experienced by the weaker teams in
corralling star ball tossers, there are
enough good men to go around. and the
game is sure to flourish. Many of our
leading amateurs have gone to the pro-
fessional ranks. and have made good.
Still more have tried their fortunes in
the salaried circuits and have been
found wanting in some department of
the game. With so much good material
in Washington. every league is sure to
furnish fast team for the post-season
games.

the same old Chris, and he accepted
his final downfall as gallantly as he
did the good fortune of the earlier

Sport and game loser as he was,
old Chris wanted an even break at all

wanted no more-he never asked for

delight were to put things over on the

Chris had one specially bad season,
when his Browns finished back yonder
