Former Washington Sand Lot Star Slugger
Knocking Down Fences in Tldewater League.
Maps After Him-Other Comment
By C. w. SWAN.

There Is a persistent rumor going the
rounds Of the amateur ball tossers that
| Yum" Moreland, the former star clouter
of the Sunday School League and Capt.
tai City circuit, has been signed by the
Cleveland Maps.
A wire from Elizabeth City, N. c.,
| where YUM is at present putting up q
great game in the field and leading the
team with the stick. states that, while
Moreland has not signed as yet, several
major league scouts have been there
looking him over, and II is more than
/ likely that Yum will be with the Maps
before another season rollE around.
YUM has been hitting the ball on the
nose, and every swat has been clean.
To date. the former Washington sand
lotter is leading the team at the bat
with an everage OF about .453.
In answer to a telegram last night,
YUM sent the following: Have not
signed with Maps as yet" w. R. More
land.
The New York World has the following
to say regarding the work Of Johnny
Priest:
This young chap PTiest-as quiet and
bashful appearing as girl-who has
been subbing at second for the Yanks,
has attra cted considerable comment de-
spite his outward occurrences. The way
he whacks the ball is the cause of the
discussion. Priest gets ur to the plate
like he is frightened about something.
but he smashes the pill right on the nose.
although up to Saturday he had the mis-
fortune 70 rap all his drives into a field
er's hands.
He has a quiet, deliberate way about
fielding his position, never very fiashy,
but always pretty sure, and he has been
credited with only one or two hobbies,
and those probably due to nervousness
1t may be that Chase has Unexpectedly
dug up 4 coming star in this youngster
The puzzling Gregg had no terrors for
him Saturday, and only sheer robbery
by Ball and the outfielders prevented him
from snaring several hits"
The game in the Suburban League yes
terday between Parkview and Silver
Spring was postponed owing to the death
of Harry w. Mitchell and the serious
condition of Roscoe Caster and Walter
HiIlery, victims Of the accident at Ross
lyn, Va, yesterday, and members Of the
Parkview team.
Harry Mitchell was scheduled to twirl
for the Parkview aggregation yesterday
and Castor has been playing great
game all season in the Suburban circuit.
There was a double-header scheduled
for yesterday in the Departmental
League, Navy defeating Agriculture IL TO
9, and Post-ofice receiving game from
Interior by forfeit.
The forfeit game was a result OF a
peculiar decision by Umpire Erwin. When
the first half of the fifth was completed
the score stood to in favor OF the

Post-office team, darkness causing the
umpire to call halt in the hostilities,
but instead of calling time" Umpire Err
win called game" The Interior nine
Immediately left the field. In a few min
utes a rift in the clouds made it possible
to continue the game and then Umpire
Erwin called play" As the Interior
team was not on the field, the game was
declared forfeited to Post-office.
II is not known at this time what dis
position will be made of the matter.
The many fans of the r. r. Y. NJ. c.
A. League who have been witnessing the
work of Umpire Joe Handiboe claim
that the -low-voiced one is the best in
the amateur ranks Of the District. There
is seldom q kick registered on Handiboe,
and he keeps the game going from the
start.

tend with, as It Is that of the old person.
When a person gets past middle life
his power OF digestion decreases, and
continues to grow weaker, and for that

new RECORD MADE
BY MOTOR TRUCK
Covers Distance from Allen
town to Capital.

| Philadelphia or New York to Wash
! ington by motor car is ordinarily con-
sidered but a nice long joy ride over
cannot be surpassed for the variety OF
scenery afforded. Many Washington
motorists make this trip each season.
1t remained for w. B. McBurney, who
| handles the Mack truck in Washington
to set new mark in travel by motor
car over this route. Five-ton trucks
are a novel sight along any country
road, and 1t is seldom they are driven
long distances. McBurney, however
started out Saturday night from the
Mack factory. at Allentown, Pa, behind
the wheel of a five-ton Mack dump
truck. The night was spent at Phila-
delphia, and long before sunrise the
following morning he was on his way
again, arriving in Washington shortly
after 4 o'clock yesterday morning.
The only stops made were at Phila-
delphia, where gas and oil were taken
aboard: Wilmington, where lunch was
served; Havre de Grace, for supper, and
Baltimore, where more oil and gas were
taken aboard. The big car, which
weighs about four tons. averaged near
ly six miles to the gallon OF gasoline
for the entire distance OF 205 miles,
and an average speed of ten miles an
hour.
According to Ted" Johnston. captain
of the Automobile Club, nearly every
dealer has donated one or more cars for
orphans day. which is Thursday of
this week. In addition to the dealers
a number of private owners have VOL
unteered the use of their cars.
The printing and allied trades socia-
bility run to Great Falls and return
will be held Saturday. Lewis Thayer is
in charge of the car arrangements,
while H. c. c. Stiles is chairman of the
committee on finance. To date four
teen machines have been nominated.

And knows no snackles that shall hold

When impish impulse bids it seek

That leads it on from that spot or
