ToDAY's GAME.
Eastern Athletic Club VS.. Seaman
Gunners. $50 pm. Grounds located
at North Capitol and L SITS.
In a thrilling twelve-inning contest
yesterday afternoon at the Capital
Qty- League Park. the Marines nosed
out the Sewage Pumping Station out
fit by the score of to 2.
Yesterdays game was the first ex-
ira inning battle that has been played
so far this season, and 1t was also
the fastest played skirmish Of the sea-
son, requiring but two hours to pull
off the twelve rounds.
Bob Hummer, who has been estab-
fishing quite name for himself in the
Commercial League with Moses & Sons.
twirled his initial game for the Pump
ers yesterday. Bob pitched a fairly
good game considering the number of
the innings that was played. and
would in all probabilities have gotten
away with a victory had it not been
for four costly errors on the part of
Ford, Steele and Davis.
With Harley in the box and his
teammates playing alright ball be-
hind him the Marines put up their
best game of the season against the
Jumpers yesterday. 1t was a corker
from the pitchers standpoint. as he
held those hard-hitting southeast lads
down to five scattered bingles, and
famed seven.
Heinz in left for Uncle Sans boys
put up a star game both in the field
and at the bat. Six high flies did he
bag in the garden. while at the bat he
hammered out two safeties.
Two fast double plays and some SEN
sational playing Of Shipley at second
were two more features of the long,
exciting game.
Shipley was the only player who
could steal on Grain. who was catching
for the sea-f1ghters. His work behind
the plate was the topic for many con-
versations in the stand.

There is q well founded rumor going
the rounds that the Commercial League

ing Of that organization tonight. II has
been stated that he will be asked to re-

One Of the managers in the circuit
stated yesterday that he believed that
Q new man would be holding down the
position after the meeting this evening.
He stated that he believed that the most
likely man for the place is Mr. Lynn of
Berry & Whitmore. and that in all prob
ability ne would be elected TO nil the
vacancy as soon as it is created.
II Is possible that there will be no
change at all. as once before the same
situation presented itself. and nothing
was done other than to let things drift
along.
The rumor that Post Office might with

There are many who are connected
with the affairs of the Capital City
League who are rather dubious regarding
the wisdom of having taken the Seaman
Gunners and the Marines into the organi-

In the circuit will not be as great as Il
was by any means. While so far there
does not seem to be much reason for the

hard chances with what seemed to be
