/ The final contest to decide the cham
| pionship in the scholastic base ball serie:
was the poorest exhibition given in the
last four years. There has been no game
i'll that time having a real bearing on the
title that has not been better played thar
that of yesterday. 1t was a walkawa,
for Eastern, Business affording little O.
| no opposition, mainly because of poo
| pitching and ragged fielding.
Eastern started by scoring six runs il
the first inning. The Light Blue anc
White was never headed after that al
| though Business did manage to com,
| through with four runs in the fourth
which put it in striking distance of tn.
leaders. The big inning for Eastern wa.
! the fifth. in which it scored thirteen runs
The game was farcical after that.
Dyer, probably one of the pluckies
youngsters playing in the SERIES was or
the mound for Eastern, and he let Bust.
ness down with only three hits His
work was consistent, and he deserves q
great deal Of credit for the manner il
which he got away with his game, not.
outstanding that he did not have to dc
very well. Fourteen bases on balls anG
eighteen hits for Eastern tell the tale OF
how poorly those who pitched for Bust.
ness worked.
The game gives Eastern its second
championship in as many years. The
Light Blue and White players deserve ali
the credit in the world for their per-
formances. Against all kinds of dis
advantages they have come to the front
this spring, and have taken the title.
The honors is theirs and richly do they
deserve it.
Dyer of Eastern is PROBABLY one of the
, MIC "a,
circle. He is an inielder. has done
some catching. and this spring
when his team was at loss for a pitcher
for it's two final games. went in and
won both himself Dyer is a hitter much
above the average, too. Last year his
work with the bat was one of the main
factors in the winning of the champion
ship, and he has been hitting we'll in the
present series. Yesterday he had an
average of 500, getting three safeties
out of six trips to the plate.
Gallaudet failed to show much. form
against Central High yesterday, and lost
by a score Of ] to Z. The scholastic nine
played much the better ball, especially
in hitting, Milton and Rector. who did
the pitching for Central had little trou-
BILE in holding Gallaudet's batters to a
minimum of hits. only four being gotten
of their delivery.
The Georgetown Props lost to the
Blue and Gray Freshmen yesterday by
to 3. The feature of the contest was
the work of the pitchers. Breslin and
Farrell doing well for the Freshmen and
Props. respectively.
Several big scores were made in the
amateur games yesterday In the De-

Hyattsville was able to get only four
hits in its game with Langdon yester-
day. and the latter won by II to 3,
Dodge. playing shortstop for the win

had seven accepted chances, one error,
and three hits out Of four trips to the
plate. There was little feature in the
play of the losers.

Seven accepted chances by Long. play

the most noteworthy factor in the con-

creditable; as several of the opportuni-

Thirteen hits for Southern against
three for Union Station was the big
factor in the victory Of the former.
That it was very decisive was to be
expected, considering the disparity in

FRANK BAKER MADE HITS IN
SEVENTEEN STRAIGHT GAMES
1reat Home-Run Hitter From Trappe, Md, Has Not
Been Shut Out of Bingle for
Nearly Month
Nearly a Month.

PHILADELPHIA. May 10. Without
making any great noise about 1t, Frank
Baker has been steadily amassing quite
a batting record. Baker has hit safely
in his last seventeen games. In two of
these games he made three hits each,
while in the others he made one or two.
AS 1t was not until last Saturday that
Baker managed to get in home run,
and as he has had very few doubles and
only one triple, the fact that the Trappe
slyEger has been hitting at close to q
400 clip for nearly a month has been
overlooked. 1t was at Boston, April o.
that Baker failed to get hit in a game
for the last time.
April % the Athletics opened the cham-
pionshfp season at Shibe Park. That was
the start of Franks hitting, and no
twfrler has been able to shut him out
since then. In the last seventeen games

BROUGHT IN BIG FISH

Some two or three weeks ago when
our brother editors at HALEY and Soda
Springs were making considerable
noise about the size Of the trout be-
ing caught in their localities, the Press
editor promised to tell Of some real
big fish. Through the aid Of s. c.
Winters, the farmer lawyer. We are
now able to offer the first installment
Of our fish stories and { o back it up
with proof: Mr.. Winters is the owner
Of Echo Lake where abounds the
hnny tribe in great numbers and vari-
GUS sizes. Three years ago Mr.. Win
tiers stocked the lake with Eastern
Brook trout, and since that time he
has told some pretty fair fish stories
concerning the size OF the eastern
ers in his lake. After the fish had
been planted about a year he told Of
catching tw~o-pounders, but he failed to
produce the evidence to back up the
statement, so he was out OF court. At
the end Of the second year Winters
was talking about trout that weighed
six OF seven pounds just though they
we're quite common to him.
But it was not until Monday that
he came across with the evidence and
then a great many people questioned
the accuracy of the scales. Mr.. Win
tiers brought in an Eastern Brook trout
that weighed after being dressed ter
pounds and two ounces. When frs
taken out of the lake this fish weighed
twelve pounds and fourteen ounces.
