of the feeling, or maybe-well, just
maybe.

on on the field at the time the wagon was
driven on. After the dilatory tactics,

justified to have played the game out if
it had taken all night
The best exhibition of base ball shown
In the Brookland Church League this sea
son resulted yesterday from the meeting
of Methodist and Episcopal The clubs
battled for seven innings, until darkness
put an end to the contest, without either
side scoring. Clagett. pitching for the
Methodists, let the Episcopalians down
with only four hits. while Driess. who was
that only one single was made off his
delivery Driess struck out twelve men
in the seven innings, which is quite a
record.
Glass did some nice work in the box
for the Marines in the Treasury League
against the Civil Service team. He al
lowed only one hit, struck out twelve
one of the best games of the year in
that circuit Glass also contributed d
| two base hit to the offensive work OF
his team. There have been few better
pitched games in any league than that
in which Glass worked yesterday.
The Printers got their victory over
Kenilworth yesterday mainly because of
the good pitching of Stringer and the
splendid batting of Roberts. The former
let Kenilworth down with five hits in
the seven innings that were played. and
struck out eight Kenilworth was for
tunate to get its one run off him. con-
sidering his general effectiveness.
Roberts probably put up the best game
he has played this season. He hit the
ball safely every time at bat getting
two singles and a double. and fielded as
perfectly around first base could have
been desired.
Agriculture is getting trimmed by the
other Departmental League teams now
as regularly as it plays. The Farmers
seem to have lost all their cunning. as
ing dropped the last three. The margin
by which Agriculture is in front now
is very slim. and it will have to hustle
if it wants to hold that.
In the game of yesterday Post Office
got a lead and held it easily. The Mail
men started out by scoring one in the
first and two in the second. Then, aft
er Agriculture had scored one run in
the fourth, they added three more in
the fifth. Agriculture made its two
other tallies in the first half of the
ninth.
Barnhart played good game at
pitched well. Neff's batting for the
Mailmen was the feature. he got
four Safeties out of as many attempts.
None of Neff's hits went for more than
a single.
The Emeralds sprang something of a
surprise on St. Martins y the Mar
quette League, defeating the Church
men by to l. The Emeralds got only
four hits off the delivery of Slater. but
they proved sufficient to win. The

Of ST. Martins. but in that period
CDonnell. in centerfield for st. Mar
tins. stumbled over a rock after he had
caught fly ball and dropped it, thus
giving the Emeralds a chance to get
two runs across.
Feldman's batting for ST. Martins was
worthy Of special notice. He connected
the plate. The Emeralds did some ex-
ceptional fielding, having seventeen
assists to their credit. which is all the
more remarkable when it is considered
that they were not playing on a field
conductive to very accurate work.
The Car Department won from Shops
because Of its superior batting. Ten hits
were registered by 1t. while Shops got
only four off the offering of Callow. who
was on the mound for the Carmen.
Hughes. who PLAYED first base for the
Car Department, did some mighty good
hitting. He got four clean drives into
safe territory. and three Of them were
reel ones-three-base hits.
A. Gerard played brilliant game at
shortstop for the Trojans against the
IroQuois, having seven assists and two
pEt-outs to his credit. He made one
error. but that was on a chance that
ordinarily he would have handled easily
Dillon did some good fielding for the
Iroauois. too. his work in that respect
being little short of that of Gerard
The Emmanuel team got sixteen hits
against the ONO club and scored runs
almost as it pleased 1t got three runs
each IN the first and second innings and
made three. three and five in the last
three periods. respectively.
One of the best games of the year
in the Treasury League is expected to-
day. Treasury and B,S-eau are sched- |
uled. and as only hall a game sepa-
rates the two. the former being in first |
place, it is more than likely that the
contest will come pretty near deciding |
the championship Both teams have
been playing well.
The Rosedale League will no longer |
be under the jurisdiction Of the ANA
