SECURITY PLAYERS
ESTABLISH RECORD
OF UNIQUE SCORES
Two Straight Shut-Outs in
Five and Six Innings
Feature.

The record made by the American Sc
curity and Trust team in the Bankers
League in the last two games played is
unique in the annals of amateur base
ball in Washington and will no doubt
stand for some time.
On two straight days the Security
team defeated Second Washington Bank
team and the District National team by
scores of IA to and 25 to 0, the first
game going six and the second but five
and one-half innings. American Secur-
fly. in the two games scored 50 runs in
eleven innings, or an average of 3.54 each
inning. In but two of the eleven in
nings played did the Security team fail
to score. Neither team defeated was
able to score, and but three hits were
made by the opponents in the two
games, Second-W Washington getting those
In the first.
Team Batting 500.
The team batted for 800 in the games,
going to bat sivty-eight times and get
ting thirty-four hits for a total of fifty
four bases, or twenty extra bases. Ten
bases were stolen during the eleven in
nings, slightly less than one an inning.
II.
with two home runs each, and MacDon-
aid made one. S. Rawlings got two
triples and West one, while Davis and
Boykin each got a double. i
In order to get out of the league as the
team intended, it is thought the scores
Will prove sufficient grounds to show
the disparity between the teams now
playing, and it is doubtful If any other
teams can be gotten in the league at
n Wi
ity. 1t might be said this team is beat
ing its way out of the circuit.
With the exception Of the score in the
Bankers League yesterday and 19 to
Olympia League, other scores were re-
markably close and the games were in
each instance hard fought throughout.
Three Ties in One Day.
Three tie games obtained in the anna
teur circuits yesterday, and with the ex-
ception Of the two games mentioned but
two of twenty teams scored more than
five runs. st. Paul defeated st. Mar
tin by II to in the Independence
League. Cornell and Eastern played
eight innings to = to 2 score in the
Capital City circuit. Commerce and La |
Dor and Postoffice in the Departmental |
League were contented with one each !
in seven innings, and the Southern Rail- |
way Leaguers We're forced to to 2 |
tie on the White Lot.
OF the other good games North Caro-
lima won out over Anacostia by to |
in the Sunday School League. and In !
dian Office beat Company X in George I
town by the same score. For the Dis
trict League a to result also fura

at West Point this season the WASH

A record crowd yesterday saw An

strong Willard team by to l. Both
teams played good ball, and despite the
errors the fielding was of such good
order as to make them scarcely notice
able.
Willard drew first blood when, in the
second. Craven hit to the right field
for three bases; scoring a moment later
on a passed ball.
Upton and Symanoskie both pitched
good ball, the former striking out ten
and the latter eight. Each allowed six
hits and walked two men.
There were three old-timers in the
game yesterday. Symanoskie, Keane.
and Hanvy, and all three performed
creditably.
Keane was the chief contributor to
the error column, making three. 1t
was his bat that drove in two runs for
Willard in Sthe eighth inning. Had
he moved more quickly he could prob
ably have stretched the hit to a homer,
as 1T was a long one.
Up to the eighth inning the score
stood to ] for Willard, with Andrews
in danger of tying 1t UP. In that in
ming a base on balls and two hits netted
the former three runs.
AS the eighth inning progressed Man.

it was over he gave good imitation of
Hughey Jennings. He asserts that he
has the strongest team in the league,
and 1t now begins to look that way.
Thompson, the Andrews catcher, got
all the put-outs in the first two in
nin2s. =
Milans, Andrews second sacker, got
six assists and two put-outs without an
error.
Upton was hit rather freely, but ex-
cellent support enabled him to hold
Willard down TO fge runs.
In the sixth inning, with two on bases,
Hanvey hit one down the left-field foul
line which looked to be fair by a foot
