Today's game is between Brightwood
and Petworth, and the crowd may ex-
pect close contest as the youngsters
nave recruited some good players since
the reorganization of the team was
started.
Manager Torney Is filed with con-
fidence and will let no one tell him that
his team is not the best in the league
without contesting the statement. Park
Views victory over his charges was
severe blow and still hurts, but Torney
Is looking forward to their pext meet
ing which occurs June 6, when he hopes
TO get revenge.
Manager Cole has at last signed UP a
man for the position on his team which
was woefully weak, and better work
can be looked for from this time out.
In Munich he appears to have a capable
receiver who will hold hts own with
those of other teams. Munich played
his first game on Friday, and in az
dition to catching a bang-up game of
ball, displayed his ability with the
stick, uncorking a single and double.
Jesse Baggette appears to be in better
shape this year than ever before. He Is
hitting them on the nose and throwing
to bases with an accuracy that makes
opposing base runners fear to take a
chance.
The injury which Sid Lodge received
in Thursdays game with PstworIh will
prove a severe loss to Cy Cummings
challengers. as catchers possessing abil-
ity on a par with his are not easy to
ird. Many expressions of regret have
been heard from the league followers
who were uniformly pleased with
Lodges compartment while on the field
Chick Maddox is still the terror of the

The Tenleytown and Cocoran teams
have made a great squirt in the last
few games, and extraordinary things
may be expected from each of them
in the near future. These two ag-
gregations line up today and a bat
tie royal may result, as the mines are
evenly matched and are good ball

ably work Lasheer and Maus, while
Staub and Chapel in all probability
will be the choice of Manager Smith
(Tenleytown).

cessful period of play of the season. All
the games have been close, or at least,
tight. In several of the big score games,
