No Game Today.
There will be no game in the Olympia
League today. and a day of for the play
players for the all-star casts and lack of
time to schedule a postponed game is the
reason assigned for the open date.
Southland took the lead in the pennant
race by half a game yesterday. when
White Haven was defeated by the hard
playing Plumbers. to 1. Both teams
played good ball. but the Countrymen
were unable to hit "Boogy" Litchfield
when a safety meant anything.
The game was played in the record time
for the league one hour and nineteen
minutes.
Spaulding was very much in evidence
all through the game his fielding being
of the most sensational order and his
sent In the two runs that put the game
on ice. Jacks two stops back of second
off Flick" Fletcher and Binsted were
the most spectacular seen this year.
'Boogy' Litchfield pitched a great
game. having perfect command of his
curves, and hence was never in danger.
But fve hits were made of his delivery.
and these were SO well scattered that
they went for naught. Litchfield caused
eight Of the Countrymen to fan the at
mosphere and allowed but one pass.
The catch Of the year was made by
Grace In the first inning at the expense
Of Burch. With one on base, Burch
drove a long line fly to deep left. Grace
was Off with the bat, and. while rum
ming with his back to the diamond. leap
ed into the air and caught the ball with
his bare hand. Grace also did something
seldom done on this field. that of holding
a ball hit over the fence to two bases.
HOFFMAN. the veteran outfielder OF the
White Haven nine. hit in hard luck all
afternoon IT looked as though he would
get his hit in the ninth. when he drove a
liner to center, but Blair got 1t on the
run.
Carroll made a play never seen on the
field before. HUNT hit a ball to short.
and the throw to first was to one side and
on the pickup. Carroll dove forward.
and, with one foot hooked under the bag,
got the ball on a short bounce for the
put-out.

BROOKLAND MAY GET BERTH
IN INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE
Rumor Is Strong That Transfer Of Teams
Is Probable Between independence
and Suburban Circuits.

Now that the Brookland team has for
feited Its franchise in the Suburban
League It is more than probable that il
will get place In the Independence cir
cult before long During the last few
days II has been persstently r,rmored
that such will be the final disposition OF
the team.
There have been rumors Of a change in
the independence League. in which one of
the clubs which now has a berth In that
organization will be transferred to the
Suburban. and the Brookland nine will
get the place which would be left vacant
by the action.
Ii is not yet definitely assured that the
proposed action Will be carried out. but
II the matter can be arranged satisfac-
torily to all concerned IT is almost GER
tain that such will be done
Although this is the Fourth. generally
the time for great ado in all lines of
sport, there are but two leagues whiC h
have games scheduled. The Marquette
and independence circuits are the only
two organizations In which contests will
be pulled OFF. This morning in the In
dependence League the St Paul and
NANSTly Teams pay WHlle SOH1paHy N
and the Naval Medical School are sched-
u1ed to meet in a double-header in the
West End circuit this afternoon.
II is probable that the managers of the
various teams thought that II would be
almost impossible to get their men to-
gether for games today and none was
scheduled.
Page, the youngster who was shifted
from third base to take his turn in the
box in yesterdays game between the
Kendall and National Union teams in the
Independence League, certainly looks to
be whole lot better than one would
naturally suppose. Although not a
twirler. Page possesses natural motion
which in itself is exceptionally rare
among sand lot pitchers. He also has a
good curve ball and plenty of speed. If
he were taken in one of the high schools
he would prove a sensation in the box, II
there were a capable man on hand to
develop him.
II begins to look now as though the
race in the Capital City League will be
between the Cornell Company and the
Navy Yard instead of between the Cor
nell Company and the Sewerage Pump
ing Station. as was at first thought At
the beginning of the season it seemed
that there was not a team in the circuit
which had anything on the Pumping Sta
ton, but the inevitable slump came. and
Il has steadily fallen back In the race until
1T present it is in third position On the
