Little doubt is left in the minds of
followers of the Washington soccer foot

game this season from the visiting team.
Saturday the teams met at the Rosedale
Fairgrounds In the opening game of the
Intercity Association schedule. and
Washington won the game by 2 to l..
The other two games were played in
November, and were practice and ben
eft games.
Baltimore was theft to score, Kopp
sending the ball under the posts in less
than ten minutes after play started.
Before the first half ended. however,
Aud Of Washington scored. with low
shot, and this was followed Immediately
by another tally by Hodge. This gave
Washington the advantage. which II
kept throughout the remainder of the

If the youngscer starting his career, or

In summing up, the batting eye is a
natural gift. Every man does not pos
sess it, and some possess il to greater
extent than others.
There are many young players who
have good batting eyes who cannot pat.
The reason for that is two-fold-either
tney are SHy, stepping AWAY iioIl shS
plate. or they take their eyes off the
ball, or possibly both combinations work
to their own detriment.
There was once baseball man
who had much experience in training
young players who to them to watch
the bali from the moment the pitcher
wound up until the bat had actually
cracked it. That is what many OF them
do not do. The young player Is prone
to take his eye of the ball at the mo-
ment when he should have IL fixed on
the flying sphere. The result OF that
is that either the batter misses the DaI
or hits a weak one on the ground or IN
the air, depending on whether he hits
under or over the ball.
Oftentimes batsmef become so pro-
ficient in the art OF trailing the ball
with the eye that they can see the
seams o. the ball as II comes up to the
plate. They do not look to see where
their hit Is going. They hit it first and

BROOKLYN HOPES

and the Athletics will bring in at the

past.
BROOKLYN started out at great pace
