piohship ~ not yet definitely decided
The Printers and the Sherwood club
played seven innings to a 1-to-1 score
and the American Security and Trust
Company and Cornell were unable to
reach decision after the same number
of periods. the tally In the latter case
being TO 2. The first game OF the
final series I'm the Federal circuit was
won by the Petworth club by a score of
to L.
The play OF the Petworth team was
more or less of surprise, 1t not being
expected that it would get the contest
by such a decisive margin. The pitching
of Kidwell was responsible for the result
in no small measure. His work was
brilliant. for he allowed only one hit and
caused twelve men to go back to the
bench without hitting the ball at all.
The play of the entire team as a whole
was above the average. and if it keeps
up the gait it should be returned the
victor in that league.
The excellent pitching of Smith was in
the main responsible for the Bankers not
beating Cornell. That youngster kept
the trust company team from getting
anything like a real clean hit. At that,
though, the Bank nine would probably
have won had it not been for the fact
that some poor work was done on the
bases. The Printers and the Sherwood
club battled on even terms during the
entire contest. The work of both teams
was good. but it was on a daring steal
of home by Julien that the Printers tai
lied their only run.
Had not Smith been wild in the game
of yesterday it is probable that he
would have pitched an exceptional game
against the American Security and Trust
team. As it was the Bank players could
not hit him at all, and that despite
rather poor support. Had the Trust COM
pany been able to land one hit in either
OF three innings 1t would have won the
contest hands down. but the hit was not

dark day.
Even with Smiths fine work it is ques-
iionable If he deserves a great deal more
credit than does Dyer. who worked for
the Trust company. Dyer. although he
has not pitched much in the last month
worked in form that has been surpassed
but few times this season in the amateur
circuits. He had control, and he kept
his opponents from hitting him in all

pom one occasion previous to this
something was said of Dyer's ability as
ball player. and that might be EN-
phasized now. Dyer has been one of the
tependables of the Bank team all through
.he year He is capable hitter. is a
good waiter. and displays good judgment
IN the plays he makes. There is not a
more versatile player in the District than
Dyer. 1t is doubtful. In fact. If a man

The schedule in the amateur circuits

The Sherwood and Printers teams will
meet again today i'm the Central League.
Their work will be closely watched. and
both teams will work hard for the vic

as existed before they started play yes

schedule. and il the Printers are victo-
rious they will have TO meet Sherwood
in an extra series to decide the title.
The Cornell and the American Security
and Trust teams are scheduled to meet
again today. These two clubs are also
right where they were before the game
OF yesterday. The Bankers are leading
with a three game margin, and to win
out Cornell would have to take four
straight contests. IL the Bank nine wins
this afternoon it will have the pennant
secure. though two or three more con-
tests will be played
Petworth and Fairmont will go after
each other again. With Kidwell out of
the way, it would not be surprising If the
Farmonts come back with victory.

telding around third base yesterday
