not well played and although Green, the

occasion. when there was chance to
win, reckless base running and hap

Kendall walked away with st. Martin

The last two games scheduled for this
week will work rather a hardship on
the Shamrock team which plays both Of
them.
When the vacancy occurred in the
league the officials had St Paul move
up that date then scheduled between
ST. Martin and the Methodists. so that
the team that received the vacancy could
play Friday. It was overlooked. how
ever, that the same team has to play
the Saturdays game.
The fielding of the Kendall team was
the best witnessed on the grounds this
season. Had it not been for Neils bad
throw to Fischer in the second, the
northeast team would have finished with
a blank sixth column.
A total of sixteen extra bases were
made in six and one-half innings. Seven
doubles and three home runs constitute
the biggest smuggling feat of the season.
In the fifth inning when Nutwell was
pounded for eight hits. three successive
two-baggers were made.
Ffschers playing was of most SEN

down bad throws and twice grabbed
hard ones that looked good for hits.

man in the first, made things look bad
for the Kendall lads, but in the third

Today's game between Anacostia and

Sherwood proved a surprise to Ingram
yesterday and gave the spectators a

several Eastern players, on the team.
Hech. Sherwood's great catcher is
badly crippled up, but had perfect day
at the bat, making two singles and a

Jim Sayers played a good game for
Sherwood, scoring two OF the runs and
making hit that later gave Sherwood
two runs.
Ingram made four hits in succession,
but dumb base running kept them from
scoring.
McLarren was back at the first bag
for Sherwood. It was Macs" first ap-

The game was voted by many as

little foolhardy base running by In
