TODAY'S GAME.

Navy Yard scored seven runs in the
first two innings in its game against Cor

This was too much of a handicap for the
Paperhangers to overcome and when the
contest ended the score was I to in
favor of the Navy Yard
1t was the first defeat for Cornell and
it speaks wei for Navy Yard, who have
not been going any too good anyhow. A
couple more defeats for Cornell will give
the other teams a chance to get into the
running.
Bell twfrled a steady game for Navy
Yard, although he was hit just as hard
as Hummer and Edmonston, who toed the
mound for Cornell. Ten hits were made
off Bell, but he kept them we'll scattered
Edmonston pitched good ball, after re-
lieving Hummer in the second. Only two
hits were made off him during his five
innings in the box.
Noyes went into right field after Ed
monston went into the box. 1t was q
good move, as the plucky backstop had
ball for a triple, double and single out OF
three trips up.
The game was slower than most Of the
games that have been played at Capitol
City Park this season. The contest only
went seven innings.

The success of the White Sox in this

American Security's championship nine,

by to l..
The game was far more Interesting than
the score would indicate. and but for the
fact that they were forced to use two
infielders in the pitchers box the club
men would have Jared better. In the alb
sence Of the veteran "Ar' Ogle who had
been depended on to pitch, Cash and Col
ley, sh0rtstOp and catcher, essayed to
do the twirling. The former got away
badly, and after the champs had scored
three runs gave way to Colley, who sur
prised the crowd of about 500 by showing
that he possesses more than ordinary
ability as a twirler. He held the Bank
ers down considerably, and but for their
sensational base running, aided by the
inability on the part of the Braddock
infielders to compete with the same
would have held the score down consid-
erably.
"Pop" Harding was added to the lists
of comebacks in Braddock's roster. which
now includes Sam and Harry Seay and
Dick Ruiz. The club team was formerly

Harding should be able to help out con-

Adams Express by trimming the Car

place yesterday and from now on it
looks as if it would be a battle between

was on the mound for the winners and
was touched up for ten safe ones. Callow
was also handled roughly. but miscues
in fielding settled the result of the game.
Peck and Stewart were the big noises
with the stick and both hammered out a
long one for three bases and at times
where they meant the most damage. That
Bryant was effective with men on is evil
