robbery had taken place At vishni

or more Of the eight persons forming

In the robbery. He soon determined

Close and exciting games and excel
lent pitching were the order yesterday
in the field of amateurs, there being
three shut-outs, one twelve-inning
game, two victories by one run, and
two games won in the last inning.
Thompson, pitching for Telephone, In
the Commercial League, was the prize
hard-luck pitcher. Striking out fifteen
and allowing but one hit, he lost his
game, to 0.
The twelve-inning game between
Pumping Station and Marines was one
Of the best of the season. Hummer,
pitching for the losers, famed fifteen,
but was found when hits meant runs.
Effective pitching was evident in
each league. In the ten leagues in
which games were held, there were l6S
strike-outs, while but three teams of the
twenty hit into double figures.

Petworth frightened its hold on the
top position by forcing Silver Spring to
go home with the short end Of the score
In the box for Petworth was Bernie
Gallagher, that veteran of many a cam
paign- He seemed to have lost none Of
his cunning, and held the Silver Spring
boys to five scattered hits.
Fienle was on the mound for the los
ers, and was touched up rather lively.
Eight hits, including a double and
triple, were the winners share, and
most Of them were made at opportune
moments. driving runners across the
pan.
Silver Spring started of strong and
had lead Of two runs when Petworth
started to show. After the third inning,
Gallagher was invincible, and they were
able to annex only one more tally.
Manager Torney covered right for his
team and again gave evidence that he IL
fielding star. Inky Davis singled clean
ly to right In the fifth, but never reach
ed the initial station, as Torney's throw
to first had him beaten.
Petworth's first run was a gift Clay
ton hunted to Fienle, hit him in the
back with the ball in an effort to retire
him, and before the ball was recovered,
the Petworth gardener was resting on
third.
In addition to pitching a brilliant
game, Gallagher was a factor in his
teams scoring, on two occasions plant
ing the ball safe when runners were
waiting to score.
Dampier came across with a beautiful
single in the second, which scored Lodge
with Silver Springs first run.
Team work was lacking among tn
Silver Spring players and several of
Petworth's runs can be attributed TO
this cause. Sullivan and Torney dump
Muffin ei4ed perfectiy Of but the T rstl
sacker had to hold the bail, as no one
had covered the bag.
Clayton outguessed Boykin In the
sixth and averted a possible tie score.
Silver Spring had men on second and
third with one out when Fienle drove
long fly to left. Clayton, seeing he
had no chance to throw the runner out
at home, lined the ball to third. and
Boykin, who was looking for a play at
the plate, was an easy out.
McKenny and Fienle were the heavy
stick artists for Silver Spring, the pair
making four OF the five hits credited to
the team.
Clayton seemed to take a fancy to
nd fyrr
safeties. His triple to left center in
seventh was a beauty.
Ted Sullivan, a recent addition to the
Petworth lineup is making his presence
felt. Two safe hits were his share yes
terday, and the manner in which he
fielded Cissers smash, which was Ia
beled for hit, was treat to the on
lockers.
Country Morris connected for the pref
test hit of the game, slashing double
to left center.

The game was hard played through

account of darkness at the end Of the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS VS.. Southland.
The first forfeit since Sligo was
forced to relinquish its franchise was
awarded to Southland yesterday. But
four Woodland players made their ap-
pearance upon the field.
| Judging from the conversation OF
! the four faithfuls that came to repre-
sent Woodland, there is no excuse for
! the non-appearance Of the rest of the
comrades. 1t Is vastly unfair to the
fans that are supporting the circuit.
and upon whom the league Is depend
ing to make a success of the organiza-
| ton, that a team should fail to be able
to present it's full nine on each and
every occasion.
Each team Is allowed a maximum Of
twenty players, and a minimum of If
| teen. Woodland has registered It's
complete allowance Of twenty men, yet
only four of these were on hand. 1t is
deplorable that such a lack Of inter
est be shown, and the forfeiture Of the
game is to be investigated fully.
Today Silver Spring nationals and
White Haven will play, and a warm
game is expected. Both teams orig
inally started out with old players, but
gradually these have been weeded out.
until now both teams present a
youthful appearance. Binsted and J.
Fletcher will probably work for White
Silver Spring, will most likely send Gill
to the slab. with Ionic" Mess doing
the receiving.
Braddock is certainly taking big steps
toward getting the pennant and has
signed up several men who are certain
to help them along in their plucky fight
for the bunting. Pete" Lynch, the
Tech lad, is one of the new acquisitions
and will be seen in the game next
Thursday when Braddock and Silver
Spring meet.
Manager Glover, of Silver Spring, or
Joe" as he'is affectionately known by
his followers, is going after the pen
nant for all he is worth. His main
trouble heretofore has been in the catch
ing line, and he filled up this hole neatly
by signing Loehl, the Georgetown Prep
captain, only to have that lad leave
town after catching two games In most
sensational form. Glover Immediately
became active and hunted up a new
receiver, Ionic" Mess, who has been
working in great form in the Marquette
League. Mess will be seen behind the
bat today, and Is expected to hold White
Haven close on the bags.

Telephone had two men caught at
home plate, one IN the third and one
in the fourth. In the third three men
were left on bases, and in the fourth a
fast double play of E. Fisher to N.
Fisher. sent the hopes of score glim-
mering.
Vogelsberger was a tower Of strength
to the Moses team. He held Burgess in
fine style and his throwing to bases
the" lift of the game.
The game was a pitchers battle be-
tween Thompson and Burgess, with
Thompson a shade the better. He struck
out fourteen, gave one pass, and allow
ed but one hit. The latter struck out
eleven, walked three, and allowed three
hits. Both pitched gilt-edged ball, and
both received the best Of support, each
team making but two misplays.
Manager Hughes, Of Telephone, was in
two passes from Burgess out of four
trips to the plate.
The fans were all pulling for an extra
inning game and everything looked
promising for 1t until Vogelsberger's hit.
-
Although neither team had any par
ticular position to fight for, each battled
as if fighting out tie for first position.
Another good game Is on the card for
today, when Willard and Walford meet.
A defeat for the former means that Ii
will drop to position but twenty-eight
points ahead of Andrews. and a victory
for the former means that 1t will be
tied with the "Canaries" for second
place. -
Manager Myers will use either Ogle or
