BY a. c. BYRD.
Two tie games were played in the anna
teur leagues yesterday. One took place
| in the Potomac League and the other
| in the Northwest Sunday School League.
In the former Oxon Hill and Fairlawn
| finished with the score standing to 2.
| while in the latter Brightwood and I'M
manuel ended their contest with each
having counted three times.
There was little that hinged on the re-
suit Of the game between Fairlawn and
| Oxon Hill, but the contest between I'M
| manuel and Brightwood would have de-
termined the championship had either
| club gotten the long end of the score.
Neither contest went the full route. the
one in the Northwest Sunday School cir
cult being called at the end of the eighth
inning and the other after the seventh
| was finished.

aids defeated the Favorite A. c. in the
Central League very easily, the score

the 1roquois got the best of the Trojans
in the Rosedale circuit by 4 to 2.
played over. the contest that failed to be
decided yesterday between Emmanuel
and Brightwood for the championship of
the Northwest Sunday School League
probably will be scheduled for the early
part of next week. The two clubs fought
on pretty nearly even terms yesterday.
though Emmanuel had the advantage dur
ing the early innings. Whenever the
contest Is played its result undoubtedly
will determine the right to the title. Had
one of the clubs won yesterday there
would have been little to keep It from
entering the post-season series.
Gessford pitched a brilliant game for
Emmanuel during the first six innings
against Brightwood. He allowed only two
hits in that period ana struck out twelve
men. He weakened somewhat though
after that and allowed Brightwood to
score all three Of its runs in the seventh
and eighth periods. He worked in bril-
liant form. there having been few better
exhibitions this year than what he show
ed in the first part of the contest. Cess
ford gave four bases on balls. the only
factor that marred his pitching In the
least Stanley also did some good work
for Brightwood-in fact Stanley probably
was little steadier than Gessford. espe-
much hitting done by either club each
connecting for six safe drives.
The general play OF both clubs was
good. the kind betting a real champion
mettle, the fielding was above the aver
age. and. as a whole the exhibition was
very creditable.
Fairlawn and Oxon Hill played a bril-
liant. fielding game, only one error be-
Ing charged during the entire contest.
That was given to Bentley. in left field.
on what would have been a difficult play
had 1t been made.
The real feature of the contest though,
was the pitching. Dixon. who was on the
mound for Oxon Hill, struck out ten men
and allowed six hits, while vernsteine,
who did box duty for Fairlawn, allowed
the same number Of safe drives but
struck out twelve
Jimmy Donnelly's Emerald team won
from the Favorites rather easily, mainly
by reason of splendid pitching on the
part Of Hines. Hines struck out thirteen
men men ana allowed only two scattered hits.
The Favorites were unable to do any
thing at all with the offerings of Hines.
and the pitcher did not have the least
trouble in holding the lead given him BY

Bussius also pitched pretty fair game
for the Favorites. He was not hit hard.
