La rlata and Indian Head the Two
teams ia the southern Maryland League
who tied for the championship in the re-
cent series OF games, played their first
OF the three games to decide the supre-
macy Of the two teams here on Sasur-
day last and through miserable play
ing La Plata lost the game by the score
Of 10 to 9 in seven inning game, the
game being called at the end Of the
seventh inning on account Of darkness.
The La Plata team put up the poorest
game that has been Witnessed on The
grounds here this season by any team.
Error after error was made all Of which
the visitors took advantage. The La
Plata team started out bad in the first
inning and keFt it up daring the entire
game. Tommy Mudd started in to
pitch for La Plata but was out OF form
and had to be relieved BY Gene AIudd
in the fourth inning after allowing seven
hits and number Of passes. Gene was
also out Of shape and also allowed the
visitors seven hits and a number OF
passes. 1t seemed TO be hard luck for
La Plata and aluo st everything went
wrong in the playing line For La
Plata the feature Of the game was a
beautiful one hand catch Of Griffin
Mudd in deep center after long run
rhe outtield for Ia Plata PIT up foe
cams but the iafield went all to pieces.
dartin did the real stick work for la
Plata getting four hits out Of four times
at the bat Aust Hamilton also play
ed good all around game.
Indian Head put up good gume both
in the field and at the bat The most
sensational thing Of the whole game
was the beautiful jump clear over the
wire fence by Tippatt, tn left fielder
for iad.an Heal VIII prevented Tommy
Mudd from touching all the sacks for
homer. Besides this Tippett Played
great game in left field.
Mates at second and Douglas
Thomas in center field also put up
fine game Both also handled the stick
with much effect, the former getting
four hits out Of i've times up one Of
which was three sacker.
Score by inniugs.

Delightful refreshments were served

Non-Laughing Peoples.

There are whole peoples who can.
not laugh. The North American In.
dams, for example, are usually devoid
Of humorous perception. and when
some Of the Veddahs of Ceylon were
asked why none of their people ever
laughed they solemnly replied that
they never see anything to laugh at.
On the other hand, some savages ap-
pear to have moro robust sense Of
humor than their civilized brethren.
Doctor Livingston tells Of an African
tribe who, when dressed in clothes
for the first time, rolled about on
the ground In uncomfortable fits Of
laughtar."
