League-0ther Gossip.
BY II. c. BYRD.

Two games in the amateur leagues yes
terday were decided by big margins. The
Methodists in the Brookland Church cir
cult and the Marines in the Treasury
were the clubs which won their contests
by scoring an exceptional number of
runs. The former won from Wesley by
II to and the latter defeated Interstate
by 10 to O.
AS would naturally be supposed. there
was no department in which either of
the teams defeated by such big scores
compared favorably with their opponents.
The losers especially were left way be-
hind in the batting. base running and
general offensive work. In the contest
in which the Marines and Interstate
met, the latter was able to get only three
hits off the delivery of Glass. while. on
| the contrary, the Marines had little
trouble in clouting the ball very consist
entity. Eighteen safe wallops were OBJ
tanned by the Marines, and some of the
hits went for long distances. The Wes-
ley Club got but one lone bingle in its
contest with the Methodists, while the
latter connected safely sixteen times.
While two of the games as stated.
were won by large margins. there were
several that were well played. Waver!y
! and Kenilworth engaged in a close con-
| test in the Central League. the former
winning by B to 4: the Trojans defeated
| st. Paul in the Rosedale circuit by to
L. the East Washington Sunday School
League game found st. Agnes losing to
Reformation by to I; out in the Mar
quette organization the Emeralds got
| away with the long end of the score
| against the st. Martins nine by to ..
| Besides these there were several con-
tests between independent clubs. Brook
Lees Company X team of the Maryland
| National Guard defeated the Latonsville
| nine by to 4; the Fairmonts took the
deciding game Of a three-game series
| from Petworth; the Yankees won from
| the Meridians by II to 6. while Plant
| Industry got the decision in the contest
| with Animal Industry in the Interbureau
| League Of the Department of Agricul-
| ture.
| The Eastern Club, which is making a
| tour through the western part of Mary
| land, lost yesterday in the first of two
game series with Frederick by to ,.
The Washington nine was not outplayed
| to any great extent. its fielding and bat
| ting records being very little shy of
those of Frederick
1t took the marines no longer than three
innings to put their game safely away.
They scored ten runs in the third period,
and with the one obtained in the first
their total was sufficient to offset any
ordinary rally that might have been had
by Interstate.
The Emeralds are about as formidable a
club as there Is in the Marquette League.
They are, and have been, going along at
very fast gait for the last two weeks,
and it looks as If they will make a lot
of trouble for every team thay meet. Yes
terday they sent st. Martins down to
it's second defeat In two days, and it
would not be a surprise If they get away
with Tenleytown in one or more of the
games in which they are scheduled to
meet.
1t looks now as If Tenleytown will win
the championship in the Marquett League.
| The TenleytoWn nine had a hard fight on
its hands with St. Martins until the
| other day, when the St. Martins nine be-
