Rockville. Nd. Sept. 23.-In what was
by long odds the most interesting game
of the season at Rockville, Gaithersburg
and Rockville, of the Montgomery Coun-
ty League, played to a tie at the fair
grounds here this afternoon, the score
standing to when darkness ended
the game, at the end of the seventh in
ming.
Dick Robertson, who pitched this sea-
son for Savannah, of the South Atlantic
Association, was in the box for Gathers
burg, and pitched good ball, notwith-
standing that it was his wild pitch with
the bases fun that enabled Rockville to
tie the score. Barring the first inning.
when an error followed by three two
baggers in succession netted Rockville
three runs, he allowed but one hit,
bunt. Thompson, for Rockville, also
pitched good ball, and with better sup
port would have won his game.
By Kensington winning from Garrett
Park this afternoon Kensihgton and
Gaithersburg will he tied for first place.

That the New York Giants and Phila-
deIpnia Athletics will battle for the
worlds championship is now virtually
settled. The Cubs during the past week
seem TO have gone all to pieces, while
the Giants have won every game play

against the St Louis Cardinals
WaShingtonians are more than pleased
that two Eastern clubs will fight it out
for the flag and already many are laying

delphia and New York ring sides.
In another column of to-days pink
section is found an interesting account
of the Naps-Nationals game yesterday.

known as the Washington clubs girl
scout. The article criticises Manager
MCAleer for not working Gabby Street
behind the bat. While Henry's work
Yesterday was below par and number
of Johnson's fast shoots got away from
him. it is hardly fair to say that the
cOllegian cannot hold the big pitcher, as
Henry has demonstrated before that he
is perfectly capable of handling John
sons speed, But, at that. Miss Muir
rays account of her impressions IS in
teresting, coming as they do from
feminine standpoint. Her article is in
her own words, no corrections being
permitted.
During the past summer Miss Murray
visited relatives in Lawrence, Mass, and
her one diversion was attending the New
England League games. She recommend
ed several players to Scout Mike Kahoe
who looked them over and decided that
they Were not yet ripe for fast COM
pany. That her judgment was of the
best is borne out in the fact that three
of the New Englanders were either draft
ed or bought by other major league
clubs.
According 10 a dispatch from PhiIadel-
phia last night Lefty Russell not only
failed to make good as a pitcher. but
violated the training rules as set down
by Manager Connie Mack. and the
lengthy magnate announces that because
of this last fact Russell will not get a
share in the worlds series receipts.
Ball players around the American
League circuit who have watched Ray
Caldwell work say that he is the MAX

league. Players in his league are pre-

Manager Patricius Donovan. of the
Boston Red Hose, comes out with.a sue
cuIent boost for the work of Ira Thomas
abaft the log. Donovan thinks that
when it comes to great stuff without any
fashy or snowy display. the backstop
of Ballston Spa measures up to anything
in the league.
You never see the spectators going
crazy about Thomas because he filings
the ball around like a bullet slipping out
of a gun. There is none of that thing
to Thomas" said 2. D. But when II
comes to figuring things out; when it
comes to making every peg count for
something, then you can bet your
hosiery that Ira is right on the job. He
figures everything in advance, and l

such results as Thomas. He anticipates

mind.
While the worlds series will occupy
the attention of the nation in the days
of mellow October, there is another thing
to happen then in the national pastime
that will prove interesting to the devo-
tees of the pill and bat, says the Phila-
delphia Times. This is the decision of
the commission supervised by Ren Null
ford which is to award an automobile
TO the player in each league who, in the
judgment of the court, is entitled to re-
Ceive the reward for doing the most
for his team.
The Phillies' candidates naturally will
be Manager Doom and the sensational
twirler, Grover Cleveland Alexander. II
is admitted now on all sides that Dooins
absence cost the Phils any chance that
they might have had for winning the rag
while Alexander's sensational pitching
at the start of the season kept his play
