CRICKETERs PLAY
Two-Innfna Game Scheduled for
Rock Creek Park To-day.

The washington Cricket Club will play
a two-inning game at Rock Creek Park
starting at / o'clock and having as its
opponent the Sons OF st. George eleven,
of Baltimore.
The ignominious defeat suffered by the
Orioles at the hands of the local eleven
in the last intercity match. in Balti-
more. has caused them to strengthen
their team by enlisting the services of
several OF the players who were former
tly attached to the strong Baltimore
Country Club eleven Capt. Jimmy Rose
does not fear this extra talent, as all of
his players are in excellent shape, and
are fit to combat with the best of them.
Turnstall Smith. Malencroth, and Spen-
Ger Oldham are listed in the makeup
of the rejuvenated Baltimore aggrega-
tion, and are top-notchers when at the
bat
Capt. Rose stated last night that all
of his bowlers were in excellent condi-
ton. and he felt assured that they would
handily pull down the wickets Of the
cracks OF the visiting cricket club. DR..
Cannon, John Morton. O.. w. dAlcorn,
and Will Warren are arduously engag-
ed in bowling 'em over every after
noon, and in addition to himself, Capt
Rose has as fine a set of slammers of
the red sphere as any club this side of
the Atlantic.
There will be practice game this
afternoon at the Rock Creek Park
grounds, and on Labor Day there will
be an all-day match between teams
made up of the players of the club. On
Sunday, August 25. the local eleven will
play in Baltimore.

Plenty Of Good Baseball in Local
Amateur Post-season Series Games
Pepco, Bankers and Cor
nell Tigers Playing a
Great Game.

Good baseball galore has been handed
out TO the fans In the first weeks play
in Section A Of the post-season series.
no less than three games being decided
by one run. and another being called
back to even innings when the losing
club had all but tied the score.
The class of ball. as a rule. has been
high, few misplays coming to light and
but few bone-headed plays being pulled.
Taken as a whole, some mighty good
baseball has been crowded into one week
In the local amateur circles, and the
ball tossers have a right to feel proud.
for close to 1900 spectators witnessed
the first five games. in Section A
The Cornell club. which is leading
the section at present, bids fair to hold
its lead until the close, as on the form
shown during the first weeks play no
other club in the series is the Tigers
equal. Pepco did hit yesterday. and hit
hard. but then Flannery did not appear
to have a whole lot In the box. and was
touched by men who have hit but little
during the entire Independence League
season. Pepco had a great chance TO
beat the Tigers on their next clash. but
the injury to Buck Barton. who cut his
right hand yesterday on the wire at
Capital City League Park. Is likely to
prove a mighty Dig HdnulCdP DdItoi
will hardly be able TO work.
Pepco Fielding Team.
Pepco is perhaps the best fielding team
in the series. although the Bankers have
been playing mighty good ball. There
is no pep in the Bankers play COM
pared to Manager Grays club, which is
always on the job, taking It up ana
fighting for every inch of ground. Yes
terday, even when the game had been
sewed up, the Pepeo infeld was on its
toes throughout.
Manager Gray has gotten together a
rafting good ball club. one which will
give any team in the District a battle.
and should Ted Sullivan be sent in
e gainst the Tigers on their next en-
counter, and pitch the brand of ball he
served to the Mailmen yesterday, the
Pepco aggregation will just about tie up
Section A.
Cornell and the Bankers have put up
great games, the Tigers winning their
battles by better stickwork. The Post
office club is hopelessly out of the run

This Week.

Forest Thompson was there forty ways

Pepco outfit. to . Until the fifth in
ming not a man reached second base.
and only one reached first Thompson
is suffering with stin arm. and until
he is right will not be able to do himself
justice, according to his own statement.
Either Thompson or jackson will work
against the Pepco club when the Tigers
meet the Independence Leaguers next
Thursday. Just who manager Gray will
work Is hard to say, although Bell might
draw the assignment. On his work yes
terday, Ted Sullivan appears the man
best suited for the job OF stopping the
Tigers, although little is known OF Bell.
He is said to be a corking good pitcher.
but Sullivan yesterday pitched a beau
tiful game. and deserves a chance at the
leaders.
Feinle and Greene have pitched good
ball in their turns. but have not had the
breaks. 1t is true that Feinle was hit
rather hard by the Tigers in one inning
Friday. but at that a couple Of errors
and passes helped the cause along.
Big Game Saturday.
Saturday will more than likely wind
up Section A. although should Pepco
defeat both the Bankers and Cornell.
or Bankers defeat Pepco and Cornell.
a tie will result. and Il will have to
be played of.
The Bankers will send Chief Greene
against the Tigers when these clubs
meet next Saturday, and then there
will be some battle. Manager Cornell
will nurse Forest Thompson for this
engagement and a pitchers duel is
looked forward TO.
Tuesday will see a good game, when
Pepco and the Bankers clash again.
Greene will draw the pitching burden
then. with Feinle working Wednes
day against Post-office. This will give
Greene a good chance TO rest up for
the game Saturday.
Whatever the outcome of the series
may be. the fans have been given a
week of right good baseball. and the
next six days will see some hot battles
on the North Capitol Street grounds.

NOTES OF THE GAME

The ginger of Clark Griffith passes be-
lief.
Jup Pluvius tried hard to dampen the
ardor OF the enthusiasts. Nothing doing.
Connolly's decision on Peckinpaugh's
run to first met with decisive disapprov-
al of the crowd Echoes of this disap-
proval were heard frequently through
out the game.
Carisch's peg to catch Milan at second
was weird, worldly, and of no effect.
Morgan is a great backer-up.
Williams. manager of the home sta
tion, acquitted himself as befits all good
managers of said station.
Moeller's catch of Bakers savage
smash to right garden was sensational,
to say the least. He gathered the sphere
when it was kissing the grass petals.
Hart rendered decisions that were
Hart-rending.
In the fifth siammer Kahler gra-
tuitously passed Williams and Groom.
Ryan was jeered for his tactics at
bat. ..t
Kid Foster is not unlike our erstwhile
third sacker. Kid Elberfeld.
Kahler aeroplaned in the seventh and
with two complimentaries and a three
dot smash of Williams gave US three
runs. .,
Lajoie gathered Gandil's grass grinder
in the eighth with one hand. but failed
to get the speedy first sacker at first
Then Gandii handily stole second and
third pillows.
Shanks outsped his easy out In the
eighth and on Connoliy's decision was
safe.
Many near-pinch hitters performed for
the visitors Noneffective.
Lajoie's smash got through Shanks and
the Frenchman easily got third

SECTION C NOTES.

The Printers have won two games in
as many days and stand a fair chance
to cop the bunting in this section.
Smith was not warmed enough before
the game and was a bit unsteady in the
first two innings.
Goebel was spiked twice and hit as
many times during the game. Frank
is unlucky.
Darkness ended the fray after the sew
enth inning had been started.
Goebers jinx still pursued him. Frank
getting a bingIe in the seventh for which
he does not get credit.
Kelley looks like real first baseman.
He batted .s57 and fielded 80.
Tony Russo had but one chance to
show his speed on the bases, beating
out a grounder to Frye in the opener.
He was nipped trying to steal by
Goebers perfect peg.
Smith singled to center and broke the
1 to l tie, Kelley scoring.

Babe Adams looked rather nifty on

Shorty Hughes and Bill Belts handled
the game to the queens taste. Hardly a
kick was registered.
Merrill Vaughn came into his own as a
sticker. After a little kidding on the

Nationals Add Another.
The Nationals fourth tally was handed
to them on a silver platter. After Noel

third safe hit and stole second and third.
Morgan struck out. Shanks hit a sharp
grounder at Baker, who made a perfect
throw TO Griggs. The first baseman In

Tug Fury also did little clouting.
getting two good singles and a cheap
double. But Country Morris was the
speed king, with two sacrifice fiys, a
single, and two stolen bases.
The feature play of the day was made
on Morris. In the third inning Country
slammed the ball on a dead line to what
looked to be in the second-story window
of house in K Street, over the home
run section of the fence. Jimmy Kerr
ran back, jumped into the air, and
snagged the ball with one hand. Gill,
who was on third, had no trouble in
scoring, as Kerr was too far out to
get him.
Babe Adams Stars.
Babe Adams, on first for the Mailmen,
put up a corking good game, taking care
