The Favorite Athletic club has taken
the place of the Spartans in the Central
League. The new nine is made up mostly
of players from the old Aloysius club
and the Holy Name team of the Mar
quette League of last year. 1t is said
that the newcomers claim they will make
"a good showing during the remainder of
the second series.
There were all kinds of scores made
in the amateur leagues yesterday. Some
of the games We're very closely played;
there were others in which both teams
scored "A lot of runs and there were still
others where the results were decided by
wide margins.
One of the best contests of the day |
took place in the Central League, the |
game in which the Favorite club APP
peared against Waverly being won by |
the latter by to /. That was the first |
appearance of the Favorites, and if they |
keep on playing the way they did yes
name implies, Two close games came |
off in the East Washington Sunday School |
and Treasury Leagues. In the former |
Reformation defeated Fifth by to ., |
to l in the latter. st. Paul and Mount !
Pleasant had d regular smuggling match |
in the Northwest Sunday School circuit,
the former winning by 10 to 10. The !
Highlanders won from the Columbias in
the Rosedale organization by . to Z. Oxon
Hill did not have great deal of trouble
winning from G. II. l. in the Potomac |
League, while Interior had an easy time |
trimming War in the Departmental, . i
too. |
The game in the Treasury League |
was undoubtedly the most important |
of the year, and it probably was the |
best played. Both clubs realized the |
worth of victory and they. struggled |
hard to win. Treasury finally emerged |
the victor by reason of Downey's |
airtignt work in the box. DoWney |
did the most capable hurting that he
has shown in any of the contests this |
season. and that is just about what /
he was compelled to do to win. There |
was no chance for a victory for him |
with any loatnS on the mound. Treas |
ury scored one run each in the first |
and second innings and Bureau got one !
in the second, which was all the scor-
ing done.
Bureau was unable to hit the offer
ings of Downey, only two safeties
being registered against his delivery.
Both of those We're singles Armstrong
featured in the fielding for Treasury,
while Lemeric did the best playing in
that respect for Bureau.
The victory gives Treasury a small
lead in the race for the champion
ship. but il is likely to be sufficient
to enable it to win the pennant. There
is no other club in the circuit liable
to defeat the leaders except Bureau,
and it is not probable that it will
be necessary for it to get the title
Interior had the easiest kind of a
time getting away with War, scoring in
almost every inning, while War could
not get single run. Interior did not
hit the ball much harder than did War.
it only getting ten hits against Wars
|, eight. but the latter failed to bat as
opportunely. and it also made seven
errors. War had an exceptional number
of assists to its credit, at that, making
eighteen. Fuller, at third for War, had
a remarkable number of chances, four
teen being offered him. He accepted
eleven of them and made errors on the |
other three.
Hildebrand. pitching for Reformation
against Fifth. held that club to two hits
and struck out ten men. winning his
game without great deal OF trouble
Fifth scored first getting a run in the
first inning, but Reformation quickly

the contest.
Gray pitched a nice game for Waverly
against the Favorite Athletic Club, hold
ing that nine to three hits and striking
out ten. Nolan, hurting them over for
the Favorites. was not far behind, as he
struck out six and Waverly was able to
connect with what he offered for only
five safeties. Hauseman did the best bat
ting for Waverly-in fact, pretty nearly
all of Waverlys hits were gotten by
him. Hauseman got three safe wallops
out of as many trips to the plate and
two of those drives went for two bases.
Wildness on the part of Steele practi- !
cally cost the Columbias their game with
the Hishlanders. The Highlanders made
less hits and more errors than their OPP
ponents but won They got seven bases
on balls, and these were the direct cause
of several scores Besides walking seven
men, Steele hit two batters. making ,,
total of nine free transportations to first
given by him
Dixon won another game for Oxon Hill

once his team got the lead he held it
easily.
