battle so far this season in the Capital
City League, Cornell Company, last
years champions. nosed out the Sewage
Pumping Station tribe. who are the pres
ent leaders, by the close score. to 5,
yesterday.
1t was the first defeat Sewage Pumping
Station has met this season and 1t came
as a terrible blow to its followers, de-
spite the fact the team played hair
raising game.
The contest went the full route. nine in
nings. and during these rounds many
brought the largest crowd of the season
to it's feet. The yelling was SO great 1t

Jimmie had everything a pitcher needs.
but he was unsteady, that II, he would
strike out a man and then pass man
and at one time during the third session
he threw one of his speed balls up against
the backstop, nearly knocking the scor-
ers' heads off. This costly wild pitch al
lowed Davis to score from third. At the
close of the fourth Cornell pulled Jimmie
out and showed in Sherman Greene,
Catholic University star twirer. and this
big college boy pitched dandy ball. Both
of these twirlers allowed four hits apiece
and struck out five men apiece. Kerr
gave two bases on balls and made a wild
pitch.

yesterday by clouting out three safties. l

Taylor and Stewart pulled off a nice
fast double play in the eighth that is
worthy of mention.
ICY" Mcdonald put one over the fence
