Some exceptionally good work was done
oy several of the pitchers who work ed
IN the games Of yesterday. IN the amateur
leagues. In one Of the circuits one Of
the teams got only one hit, while in
several Of the others from two to four
were made.
Perhaps the best pitching of the day
took place in the Central League, where
Gray, for the Spartans, and W. Stanton
for Waverly, did some excellent work
The former was the better, inasmuch
as he won. Gray allowed the Waverly
team only one safety, and there was no
fault to be found with the way he pitched
with the exception of wildness Though
he gave five bases on balls, his opponents
could not connect with the ball enough
to get any runs across the plate Stanton
allowed the Spartans only four hits, and
he was not far behind Gray in effective
ness.
Stanley pitching for Brightwood in
the Northwest Sunday School League,
had a good game to his credit. stanley's
work was nearly as good as that of Gray,
and in some respects was better. He al
lowed only three hits and struck out

Carrico Of Oxon Hill did some good
work In the contest in which they were
opposed. Becker's delivery was hit safe

batters to the extent that only four
safeties were made by them.

Herr played a nice game at second
for Brightwood. He accepted his six
chances in a manner which admitted of
no fault. and at bat got two hits out of
three attempts. Gist. at short for Bright
wood. had seven chances accepted out of
the eight offered him.
The Cathedral School has finished what
has undoubtedly been the best season II
has ever had in any branch Of sport. The
Episcopalians have gone through a base
ball schedule in which victory after vic
tory has been obtained, while about the
best scholastic teams in this section have
been played

resulted in a win from the Marylanders
by a one-sided score, IS to 2. Coach
Green's boys got away with twelve hits,
while their opponents were able to get
only seven. The work of Holmes at sec

feature. He accepted six chances in the
field. and made one Of the longest drives
ever seen on Satteriee Field. The ball
went into deep center for home run
Reformation and ST. Agnes played a
tie game in the East Washington Sunday
School League, to 5. There was very
little difference in the play of the two
clubs. The fielding and hitting were about
on a par, while the pitching also proved
about the same. The best fielding was
done by Claude of st. Agnes at third
base. while McGhann of Reformation led
in hitting. McGhann got three-bagger
and two singles out of four times at bat.
The Federais allowed Civil Service not
sign of a run in the Federal League
mainly through the work of McDonough
and Cation on the mound. Both men were
very effective. only two hits being made
against them. Croson pitched a good
game for the losers, but was poorly sup
ported. Ten errors were made by his
teammates. Federals scored eleven times.
and the majority of the runs were due
to misplays.
Two games were played in the Potomac
League. Fairlawn won from Steel Plant
and the Eastern Club took the measure
