lawn aggregation won from OSon Hill
by 3 to 2, while Navy got a win over
Interstate by 10 to s. Out in the Rose
dale League the Trojans won from st.
Paul by to l. in the Northwest Sun
day School circuit the Whitney Avenue
nine walloped st. Paul by II to 4. and
Tenleytown got the long end of the
score in the Marquette League by to 6.
1t is very. very seldom that ball
team wins victories on successive days
such as were taken by Interior yester
day and Tuesday. The champions of
last year got the long end of both scores
by 20 to o, and their hitting was ex-
ceptional, to say the least. Yesterday
only twelve safeties were made. though
nineteen were registered on the previous
day.
War was not able to register a single
| hit off the delivery of McCabe yester-
day, though of course. the fact that
the game only went five innings would
not give him no-hit contest. F1annery.
playing left field for Interior, did the
best batting for that club He con-
nected for three safeties out Of as many
trips to the plate. one Of them being
for three bases.
Gallagher's work at shortstop featured
the contest yesterday between the Whit
ney Avenue and ST. Paul teams. He
played brilliantly in the field and his
batting was way above usual. Gala
CHER accepted four chances, two of which
were very difficult. while he got four
hits out of five times up. Three of the
safeties were singles, but the other went
for three bases.
Whitney Avenue won the game rather
easily though it's big margin was at
tanned in the last inning, when it scored
five runs. St. Paul was outplayed In
every department, it's fielding and hitting
being inferior to that of the winners.
The work of Grissom. at third for st.
Paul. was the most noteworthy effort
on the part of any of the losing players.
He got two hits out of four times at
bat, and had five assists and two put
outs to his credit.
! The Trojans got away with the st. Paul
team in the Rosedale League without
! much effort. The winners scored two
| runs in the first inning. which would
| have been sufficient to give them the
victory had they not been able to get
another across. The Trojans did not hit
well. seven bases on balls off Goldenberg
and six errors by their opponents giving
| them the majority of their runs. Only
three times were they able to drive the
! ball into safe territory.
| Adamson felded a nice game for the
| losers. He accepted ten chances at third
base without an error five were assists
| and FIVE put-outs
| United Brethren earned rather re-
| markablt victory over Keller in the East
| Washington Sunday School circuit. Keller
| held the lead by to 1 until the ninth
! inning. when the Brethren nine went to
! bat and chased four men across the plate.
| 1t is not often that a game Is won that
way IN amateur ball. 1t is generally
true that when club is behind by four
runs in the last two or three innings it
! in a while just such contests are won
should prove sufficient encouragement to
| do away with any such respondent feel
| ings, though.
Both teams hit the ball we'll. though
! the United Brethren had little the ad-
vantage in that respect Mortimer
played a splendid game at short for
| Keller. accepting nine chances without
| an error He also got hit.
Cantwell. pitching for Oxon Hill,
struck out thirteen F'airlawn players, but
lost his game by 3 to 2. Notwithstanding
that Cantwell caused thirteen men to
fan, the winners found his offerings for
i. nine safe hits. Vernstein, pitching for
the winning club. let seven safeties be
| made off his delivery, but he managed to
keep them well scattered.
Both first basemen did good work.
Wood. for Oxon Hill. accepted sixteen
chances. while Hutchinson, for Fairlawn,
| took care of seventeen. Neither of the
two made misplay.
The Emeralds took the lead in the Cen
trail League game against KeniIworth
| but were unable to hold it. Jimmy Dom
but Kenilworth came right back in the
next with five, which was enough to de-
eide the result
Rasmussen. Gallaudet's star boxman,
worked for Kenilworth. and he got away
| with his game in fine style. Only four
hits were made off his delivery, though he
struck out only three. Rasmussen was
| given good support as the fourteen as
sists made by the Kenilworth players
show.
Brook Lees Company X nine of the
| Maryland National Guard got away with
| a game against Brookeville yesterday by
5 to .. The winners outhit their oppo-
| nents mainly by reason of the fine
work Of Johnston. their pitcher. Johnston
struck out thirteen men, and only three
| times were opposing players able to drive
| his offerings back into safe territory
Brown also pitched a very creditable
game for Brookeville, though he was
| hardly as steady as Johnston.
Notwithstanding that Trinity got only
three hits in the game against Tenley-
| town. it proved a dangerous factor all
the way. 1t was only in the last innings
that Tenleytown was able to get the run
that gave 1t the contest
some exceptional fielding. His work in
that position was excellent. Eight op-
portunities for assists were made good
| by him. while he had two put-outs. He
also pitched fairly good game
