The ma ioritv of the games vesterda V
in the amateur leagues were decided b.
close margins. There was hardly a con-
test in which both teams did not have
chance TO win until the last man was
out in the ninth 1t is doubtful if there
has been day among the amateurs
this season when as many contests We're
won by such small leeways. There
was only one instance Of real one
sided affair; that was in the Marquette
league. when ST. Martin defeated Cherry

The Hilltoppers are not going to be easy

self will likely strike one of the best
college organizations IL has been against

Georgetown is playing about as good ball

Biue and Gray has been doing brilliant
work of late, and any college aggrega-
ton that gets away with the long end

eastern institutions.
Southern won from Car Depa rtment be-

Tango seems to be as successful on the
ball field as smoother surfaces. The
nine going under that name won its game
yesterday from the MeridianS by IA to 1.
The Tango team made not only "a hit.
but several of thenI-eighteen. to be ex-
act. Auffort. Webster and II. Beber. the
first three in the batting order, got
three safeties each.
The game between Emmanuel and
Brightwood was a pitchers battle. in
which Stanley and Cooley played the star
roles. There was little difference in the
work of the two men. Coley allowed
Brightwood five safeties. while Stanley
let down Emmanuel with four. Coley
struck out twelve and Stanley caused the
same number TO turn back to the bench
for the same reason. Colley was little
wilder than his opponent, giving three
bases on balls against one. That was
about the only department in which any
real difference in their work could be
noted.
Mccarthy. playing first base for Bright

to connect for more than one hit. lie

that attended their efforts year ago.
Ten hits for the Federals and three for
the Statisticians tell the story of the lat
ter's defeat in the Treasury League. Also
the Federals outfelded their opponents.
Montgomery got three hits out of four
times at bat.
