TODAY-Union Station VS.. Southern, at
Fifth street and Florida avenue northeast.
TOMORROW-B. Q. VS.. Car Department.
For the third successive time the
Union Station team failed to have
enough eligible men on the field and for
feited to the B. and Q.
In place of the regular game an ex-
hlbition game was played which was
decidedly slow and unintereSting, B.
and o. finally winning out by good
margin.
Barnes pulled off feature play in the
third, when he went in back of second
and scooped McCann'S grounder and
by a quick throw got his man at first.
McGlone's long hit to right was easily
good for three bags. but Handiboe
called him out when the ball was thrown
to first, because he had not touched
that base.
Kelly, the diniinutive shortstop of the
Station team, was the stellar batsman
of the day, securing four bingles out of
as many trips to the plate.
Thompson also did good days work
with the pole by getting three safeties
in his four journeys to the rubber.
Smith, In center, secured his usual
bingle, but did not have a chance to
pull off any of the fielding stunts that
he has been pulling lately.
The game today should be interesting
IL the Station team can have enough
men to play the game.

6cial Of the league. Those teams voted
with Ninth at last nights meeting 10

ayers Of tho North Carolina and Ana
costa teams stated that In all prob
ability their players would refuse to
chow UP for the remainder of the sea-
son, and that they would be forced to
forfeit.
Ingram With Hughes.
Although Ingram voted to sustain
Hughes, such action was not favorable
to the Ingram Kids, and they stated to
the directors last night that they would
refuse to play. This practically forces
II out of the league, as Frank ADAMS,
manager of the team, has but two
days further under the ruling of the
amateur commission to sign an en-
tirely new team.
Thus, with Ninth gone, Ingram praC-
tcaaly out, and the managers of North
Carolina and Anacostia stating their in
ability to muster a team, it looks like
the winding up of The Sunday School

said the next few days would determine
whether or not it would continue.

Old Buck Venneman, who was the
star receiver of Agriculture's good team
of two years ago, was out yesterday,
holding down the third hassock for the
Farmers. Buck has all of the old pep,
although he did not do much coaching
He can relate incidents in his baseball
career that happened long before some
OF those playing in the league were
born, but he has more life and plays
a better game than the majority of the
old ones.
Larry Kicker robbed Harry Bryan of
a sure three-sacker by a backward rum
lining one-hand stab Of his liner. Larry
usually furnishes thrill of this kind
in nearly every game.
In four of the six Innings Agricul-
ture batted around, the scorers book
looking like a bunch Of hen tracks.
In the fifth inning Jim Fields, who
had already been to the bat four times,
and gotten on four times, swatted one
a mile over Ricker's head, which should
have been easily good for the circuit.
Jim, however, just did make second
base, beating the throw by an eyelash,
balls, walking the rest of the way
around. He gave way to Krause after
this inning, the exertion of three times
making the circuit being too much
Cullirs.p and Bryan played excellentIy
in the field for the Farmers. Each one
made a couple OF good catches.
The big .gamo is today. Commerce
and Labor will use Whitney and NC
Donald, while Postofflce will use Buck
Becker and Kraft. Becker was signed
up by Manager Anderson yesterday.

Yesterdays game was a swatfest pure
and simple, Andrews recording thirteen
hits and Willard fourteen. Andrews
used three pitChers-Chism, Upton. and
JunGhans-and Willard two-SilcOtt and
Symanoskie.
JunghanS made the best catch Of the
game when he caught a high foul bare
handed, after running nearly to the
fence.
OF all five pitchers used in the game,
Junghans was the most effective, and
had he gone in earlier there might have
been a different ending. In the sixth
inning he famed Dutch Stuckert with
the bases full.
The Hotelitcs got to Tim" Chism in
the third and fourth innings for five and
six runs, respectively, and have been
considered stronger than Willard. How
ever Manager Myers had several new
faces in his lineup, and their assistance
was very marked, especially in batting.
Each team made a good many mis-
plays, but those of Andrews were much
more costly and of a greater humber.
Andy" Walker connected for the cir
cult in the fourth inning, with two on
bases, besides getting double.
The score was Is to when Andrews
their fighting spirit was up and they
pushed six runs across the plate. They
scored two more in the sixth and one in
the seventh. Final score, II to 3.
Yesterdays game was a distinct sur
prise, inasmuCh as Andrews has been
going good lately.

Columbia took a lead of five runs in
the second. Suess opened this period
by boosting the ball over the Ieft-feld
fence for four bases. and subsequent
clouts by Reynolds, Weaver. and Ball,
interspersed by two infeld errors and
Price getting winged, resulted in five
counts.
Bureau tailed one each in the second
and third, and tied up the score in the
NTH on singles by Martin and Plunkett.
Balls error at short. and Lefty" Clay
tons second tWo-bagger.
The Engravers practically won the
game in the sixth, on a pair of wild
heaves by Ball, who succeeded Weaver
in the box for Columbia: two passes,
two singles, and ClaytOn'S sacrifice fly,
four runs resulting.
Columbia threatened to do things in
the eighth, but when the smoke cleared
they were two runs in arrears. Weaver
and GOucher singled, Ball was hit by a
pitched ball, SuesS made a sacrifice fly,
and Julian beat out an infield tap.
Weaver was the king pin slugger,
combing three hits in four times up.
His box work for Columbia, however,
was erratic. and after passing five and
being hit six times, he was yanked in
the sixth in favor Of Ball.
Lefty Clayton played we'll all
around for Bureau. He laced a pair of
doubles in four times up, stole three
bases. and accepted all of his four
chances in the garden.
Adams Express and Aloysius will
clash this afternoon, and to the winner
of today's game will be conceded the
pennant. Mcmahon or Knott will toe
the rubber for Adams, while either
Bernie or Bob Hummer will pitch for

When st. Stephens came to bat yes

dark that the ball could hardly be seen.
The Georgetown boys had scored a run,
and with one down and a man on sec
ond Evans hit TO right field. which
many claimed was a fair ball. but Um-
pire Collifower thought different. Evans
came back to the plate and got a pass.
In the meantime, Murphy, who was the
next man up, had been arguing with
the ump. COllifiOwer thought that Muir
ply had said enough and put him out
of the game. Manager NOone had no
other man to take his place. and, after
two minutes, Colllflower called the
game.
Stadler served them over for the win
ncrs and twirled a Creditable game, al
lowing but two hits, tanning five bat
ters and Issuing but two free passes.
C. Donaldson was easily the star of
the day, connecting for a circuit clout
and polling out three singles out of four
trips to the counting block. He fielded
his position well, handling four of five
chances cieanly. He also had two
stolen bases to his credit.
In the fifth inning, with a man on
second, Callan hit to left for what
looked to be single. but O'Day fielded
the ball and caught the runner al third,
thereby robbing Callan of a hit.
Brownie" Lemeric, playing the mid
way station for the losers, put up a
good game in the field, handling seven
of his eight chances.
Cross. in the short field for the sub
urbanites, was the shining light in
the field, making several difficult stops
and throwing in time to catch the run
ner at first on each occasion. He had a
perfect batting average connecting for
a clean single out of one trip to the
plate. OF his other three trials at the
plate he got a free pass each time.
Mat Noone. on the receiving end for

Using nearly all of the Brookland

Both pitchers did we'll except for one
bad inning each. Beckert had his early
in the game, and in the fifth round
Frank Greer went bad in the last, when
a base on balls and double were his
undoing.
National Union has been recently
making a tour. of the neighborhood for
bail players to build up that team so
that it will be better able to finish the
season.
The addition of the Brookland players
to the st. Martin team gives Johnny
Wilkinson's nine an altogether different
look. Regardless Of the team he now
has, Johnny no doubt did wrong in re-
leasing several younger members of his
team who have the makings of bal:
players.
waverly and Kendall meet today in

verIey has always been able to play
good ball against Kendall, and in two
preceding contests has thrown quite
some scare into Curtin's team. At the
rate Waverley Is going now, the best

A defeat for Kendall would greatly
undermine that teams chance at the
pennant From the looks Of things now
