TOMORROW-Petworth vs. Silver Spring.
The present standing OF the league Is
the cause Of much comment in Sub
urban circles, and is not understood by
many. The league officials agreed to
give each club q chance for the rag,
and placed each team one full game
ahead of its nearest rival.
While Manager Torney, Of Petworth,
did not object TO the teams behind him
having games won added to their list
he maintains that II is manifestly un-
fair for any losses to be stricken out
The decision as announced, give Park
View and Silver Spring a much better
chance to overtake Petworth, who will
have to play each team four more
games.
Petworth continued to climb pennant-
ward yesterday by handing Brightwood
a shut-out. For five innings the game
was a close affair, but Howelfs sup
port failed him in the latter stages, and
Petworth scored In almost every In
ming.
Birch was in good form and. with
the exception OF two innings, was
never in danger. In the third Quinter
and Work singled in succession, and
each gained a base on Claytons err
ror. With none down things looked
as IL a score would result, but Birch
caused Mcintyre to fan, and Clayton's
spectacular running catch on which he
doubled Work killed the rally.
Clayton's catch Of Stevens fly was
the most spectacular piece Of out
field work the supporters Of the
league have witnessed. Starting at the
crack of the bat. he turned al exactly
the proper moment and made a catch
which will be long remembered.
Brightwood pulled off a fast double
play in the first inning which saved
several runs. Dempsey, safe on Fraz-
ier's error, attempted to go to third
while Howell was throwing Clayton out
at first, but Works throw to Hurley
beat the Petworth shortstop 70 the
bag.
Hiser led his teammates with the
stick. making two out Of three times

That Charles Comiskey is determined
