! Two clubs in the amateur leagues have
yet to win game These teams are
tnose representing the Calvary Church i'm
the Northwest League and the Young
Mems Hebrew Association i'm the Central
| Inc former has a record OF no games
won and ten lost. and the latter has won
none and lost fourteen. There is one
other club that has practically no victor,
to its credit, the Waverly nine in the
Capital City League having a forfeit
from Southland as the only mark in its
won column.
! While there has not been real victory
credited to any of the three teams men,
| TONED, II is a mighty fine tribute to the
spirit Of the players and managers that
! they have, not forfeited. They have ap-
! peared on the field for every contest and
although beaten, have taken their defeats
In the true spirit of sportsmanship. And
/ after all, team that comes out day aft
| err day OILY to lose deserves just as much
| credit as the pennant winner, and per-
maps more. The probable pennant win
ner has an incentive other than the mere
| enjoyment of playing. but the loser is
! out working for no other purpose and
with no hope of getting more than the
! pleasure of competition out of it's en-
beavers.

| The work of the Southland team in the
Capital City League has not been of such
1t would stand a chance to, win the pen

make the nine a dangerous combination

Wits over DOth COfneu ana the bankers
at most inopportune times for those
teams and it is likely to come through
again with a victory or two over each of
them unless they watch very closely
Reports have it that the Federal League
Is in bad shape. 1t is said that two of the
clubs are about ready to drop out. and
that an effort will be made to have the

McDonough, the Central High outtielder.
played a wonderful game in center field
for the Waverly club against Cornell
yesterday. His work was of such a cali
Der that he must be recognized not only
as one of the most capable of the high
school players, but also of the
cleverest in the amateur circuits. There
have been few outfielders who have
shown better form in handling fly balls
than he; the men who are his superior
in that department of play could be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
