hits. Damphier. while several drove the
ball into safe territory twice.
As might be known. the Bureau team
won In the easiest kind of manner.

The Highlanders took fall out of the
Holy Name team yesterday by to s.
Holy Name got the lead at the start
and held it for several innings. It
scored two in the first, two in the sec

Downs did some very good work at
shortstop and at bat for the winners.

Out of three times at bat he made two
hits and had stolen base to his credit.
The Waverley Club had to take a
severe trouncing at the hands of the
Sherwoods in the Central League. The
losers were simply outclassed, their work
not being anywhere up to their usual
standard. 1t is not often that Waverley
is defeated by big margin. and in
which it appears the opposing club has
to go at its best to win Yesterday
however, was the exception.
ONeill, who pitched for the winners
held the Waverley crowd at his mercy
as far as hitting his offerings was
concerned. There was not a time dur
ing the contest when he was in dan
ger. and never could his opponents con-
meet with his delivery effectively Only
two safeties were made against him

gotten man across the plate. but
after that steady scoring by Emmanuel
gave it enough runs to win.
Herr, at second for Brentwood, and

in the last few innings. The lead got
ten by the Aggies, though. was suf-

behind him than is usually seen in
the Departmental circuit.

put-outs for the Aggies. while Bailey
and Hartley each handled five assists.
Vaughn played an excellent game at
third for the Mai1men.
Rockwell who has been playing
shortstop for Gallaudet for the last
three years. was yesterday elected to
captain the team next season. The Sc

inasmuch as Rockwell is about the
most capable performer Gallaudet has.
He folds his nosItion we'll Ia not
enough to be a dangerous man once
he gets on the bases. and his hitting
has always been above the average.
