Post Office in the Departmental
League: Baggett, playing the same po-
sition for Whitney Avenue in the
Northwest Sunday School circuit, and
Heck, shortstop on the Shops team in
the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. organization,
were the men who got hits every time
they went to the bat. 1t was rather a
coincidence that all were up three
times
Only two of the men got hits for
extra bases-Vaughn and Heck. The
former had one three-bagger out of
his three. while the latter's only long
drive was for two bases. Neither Heck
nor Baggett was able to turn his
hits into runs. but Vaughn scored each
time he got on.
There was some good hitting done
by other players as well as by these
men. There were several who got two

Brooklanders lost by 1 to 3. Johnson,
who worked on the mound for c. u.

pitching well enough to win under
ordinary conditions.
The Printers took a brace yesterday
in the Central League and won by
to 1, defeating Waverly. The Type
settlers have not been going as well
this year as in previous seasons, which
probably Is due as much to being in
stronger league as to poor playing.
There is no doubt that the Central cir
cult is one of the strongest in the city,
and is made up of much more capable
mines than year ago. when Sherwood
and Printers fought it out in the final
series for the championship.
Post Office had little trouble winning
from War in the Departmental League.
The Mailmen scored at least one run In
each inning of their game until the final
period, when nine were made. Fourteen
hits for the winners, with five errors by
the losers and eight bases on balls, were
sufficient to score seventeen runs. War

for the losers.

game the Eastern club won from the
Congress Heights aggregation in the Po-

cepted seven chances four of which were
putouts and three assists. Varelfs bat
ting featured the contest, as he got four
hits out of five times up. All the hits
were singles.
The Eastern club won the game by II

contest in the Treasury circuit. The
fielding and hitting Of the former were
very good, while the batting Of the latter
was exceptional Evans hit well for the
losers-L1brary.
Treasury won by Is to 4. 1t scored
three runs in the second and ten in the
third, which gave it a big enough mar

the better hitting and fielded in better
style, also.
