eyown the Probable Penan Winner the Marquette League

came more or less broken up by the re-
fusal of disgruntled players to longer
be members of it. ST. Martins has lost
twice in two days. and 1t still has
other games to play with the Emeralds.
II the prediction were made that Ten
leytown would be the final victor it
would not be far amiss.
Sullivan. at shortstop for the Emeralds
accepted seven chances without an error.
He did better fielding than any other man
in the game, and some of his chances
were more difficult than the average.
Hill pitched pretty good game for the
Methodists against Wesley. He struck
out only siX but there was only one hit
registered against him. He held the op
position down easily. although that really
was not necessary when it is considered
that the Methodists had obtained a big
lead right at the start.
Besides pitching a good game Hill bat
ted well and played a fine game other
wise. He fielded his position perfectly,
stole three bases and got three hits out
of four times at the plate.
Despite its five errors. while its oppo-
nent committed only one. Waverly won
its game in the Central League by one
run margin. 1t got lead in the second
in the next two. Wayerly scored again
fifth and one in the sixth Kenilworth
got one run in each OF those periods. but
it could not get the extra one across that
would have enabled it to tie
The work of the two pitchers was
about on a par. Nops. who was on the
mound for Kenilworth. after having
pitched against a team In the Rose
dale League the day previous. and
Cantwell, who hurled for Waverly. both
did very well. though Nops showed the
effects of his previous days battle.
The Trojans. while they outhit St
Paul just double. getting twelve safe
ties. did not have an easy time winning
by any means. The st. Paul aggrega-
ton held on like grim death, and its
obstinate playing prevented a decisive
Trojans also outfielded their opponents
having an error1ess game to their
credit. while two misplays were chalk
ed up against the st. Paul men.
The best work done during the game
was that of Patterson. on the mound
for the winners, and the batting of
Braund. The former allowed six safe
ties and struck out eleven. while the
latter got a two-bagger and two sim
giles out of four times up.
Fletcher, playing shortstop for
Reformation against st. Agnes. had an
infielder. He had thirteen opportuni-
ties to make plays. He got away with
eleven as perfectly as anybody could.
but miscued on the other two. Seven
of the accepted chances were assists.
Glass and Downey have proved them
selves about the best pitchers in the
Treasury League. Yesterday the former
came across with another well hurled con-
test. letting Interstate down with only three
safeties. He struck out nine of his oppo-
nents. Downey has also been doing very
consistent work. Not long ago he won
one Of the most important games played
this year from the Bureau team. by a
score of to 1, and. II memory serves
| correctly. he has not lost this year.
If Austria-Hungary has developed an
athlete who can jump 6 feet 81 inches.
| as is claimed. then it behooves some
Americans to get to work and improve
! themselves, because the foreigner is COM
ing to take part in the meet to be held
| in San Francisco next summer. A man
| who can go that high when first start
ing the work should be classed as a
great performer. 1t Is seldom that a
| jumper can clear more than five feet
| three or four inches when he begins prac-
tice. and any man who can do over six
| feet right off the reel must be a wonder.
If he develops accordingly he will break
all records for jumping by the time Of the
Olympics in 1916. The athletes name is
Casper.
A tennis club has been organized at
College Park. The body consists mainly
of professors of the Maryland Agricultu-
raj College and several Of their assist
ants. Professors Creese, Monroe. Ruffner,
Broughton and Cory were mainly re-
sponsible for the organization.
The first Of the two postponed games
to be played in the Departmental League
between Interior and Post Office will take
place this afternoon. The contests may
decide the championship Of the organiza-
ton. If either Of the pair wins both
it will be the victor. but II the two split
even then there will be triple tie. with
Agriculture. Post Once and Interior
standing on an even basis. The three
mines in that event would be compelled to
play another series OF perhaps three
games each between themselves in order
to determine which should get the honor
of taking part in the post-season games
for the District championship.
