terly ball, tanning eleven OF the twenty
nine men who came to the plate and Is

who started for Pepco, plainly showed the
effect Of overwork. being touched up for
four hits and three runs during the three
innings he officiated. Kidwell relieved
him in the fourth and held the Provision
lads well in hand, not being scored upon

Pepco's lone tally came in the fourth.
Brady passed Kidwell, the first man to
face him. and Green singled to right.
Howard scored Kidweli with hard
smash to left. on which Heck made
nice play, his quick return enabling MY
ers and Moran to run down Green be-
tween third and the plate. The Power
boys did not threaten after this. only
three men reaching first during the re-
mainder Of the game.
Moran and Gill were the fielding stars
of the day. The former made an espe-
the NTH, catching the runner at first by
a step. The throw was short and Fish
er was compelled to dig the ball out OF
the ground to complete the play. Gill
not only fielded in the most approved
manner, but divided with Neil the batting
honors of the day. each getting two sin
giles out Of three trips to the pan.
The work Of Munich and Chief Myers,
the rival catchers, was excellent. Not
only did they hold up their battery part

were stolen, two by each team, three OF
the four being thefts OF second with third

game yesterday after the score had been

grounder to Symanoski and while run

waved his hands in front of Sym, and

The First Presbyterian lads played a
fine game and deserved to win, as they
outhit and outfielded Ninth all through
the game.
Thomas, Thornett and Broome were
the sluggers, Thornett and Broome get

four, one for three bases.
Symanoski deserved to win, as he had
his former teammates buffaloed. Broome
and Cassidy were the only ones able to
gauge his deceptive delivery.

TODAY'S GAME.

They are certainly having some great
clashes out at 14th and A streets. nearly
every game being close. Yesterday
game was another tie. and was hotly
contested by both teams.
Nativity scored four runs as q starter
of of Keller who was not really to
blame. as two errors were made behind
him and only two runs should have
scored.
The two Johnsons played swell games,
especially "Biff," at second for Ingram,
who accepted nine chances without a
bungle.
Haas saved a run in the seventh when
after one was down Johnson hit for
three sacks. R. Smithson. the next man
up, hit liner over shortstop which Jack

When Ingram came to the bat in the

by Haas, who scored on the next out.
Bury, who played right the last two in

Kelly pitched a masterful game. al

Hard hitting at opportune times again
proved the factor that resulted in an
overwhelming victory for American Sc
Guilty and Trust Company's District
champions. this time over Equitable. new
conner in the Columbia League, by 20
to T.
Equitable is far better team than the
score would indicate. as there Is hardly
much difference between the two teams.
What the Insurance team needs most is
a couple Of reliable pitchers, and then 1t
will have look-in for a position well up
in the race.
"Skeets'' Hayes enjoyed another big
day with the stick. The former Catholic
University shortstop connected safely
four times in five trips up. One Of his
hits was good for three bags and drove
a couple Of runs across.
The champs found Rupert for eighteen
hits for a total Of twenty-five bases. The
Equitable twirler pitched in streaks, as
shown by the fact that he retired eight
batsmen on strikes.
'Inky' Davis was back at the third
station for the Bankers after short alb
ence felt, especially through lightning
fast work in the field. Davis has been
hitting above his form Of past seasons
