III the Northwest Sunday School League.
In the former OXon Hill and Fairiawn
finished with the score standing = to .,
while in the latter Brightwood and I'm
manuel ended their contest with each
having counted three times.
There was little that hinged on the re-
suit of the game between Fairlawn and
OXon Hill, but the contest between I'm
manuel and Brightwood would have de-
termined the championship had either
club gotten the long end of the score.
Neither contest went the full route, the
one in the Northwest Sunday School cir
cult being called at the end of the eighth
inning and the other after the seventh
was finished.
All the other games in the amateur
circuits went to a decision. The Emer-
aids defeated the Favorite \. c. in the
Central League very easily. the score
being ) to l. In the East Washington
Sunday School organization the ST. Ag-
nes team won from Keller. . to -. and
the 1roquois got the best of the Trojans
in the Rosedale circuit by to =.
1nasmuch as tie games have to be
played over, the contest that failed to be
decided yesterday between Emmanuel
and Brightwood for the championship of
the Northwest Sunday School League
probably will be scheduled for the early
part of next week. The two clubs fought
on pretty nearly even terms yesterday,
though Emmanuel had the advantage DUR
ing the early innings. Whenever the
contest is played its result undoubtedly
will determine the right to the title. Had
one of the clubs won yesterday there
would have been little to keep it from
entering the post-SeaSon series.
Gessford pitched a brilliant game for
Emmanuel during the first six innings
D,,frr
hits in that period ana struck out twelve
men. He weakened somewhat, though,
after that and allowed Brightwood to
score all three of its runs in the seventh
and eighth periods. He worked in bril-
liant FORM there having been few better
exhibitions this year than what he show
ed in the first part of the contest. Cess
ford gave four bases on balls. the only
factor that marred his pitching in the
least. Stanley also did some good work
for Brightwood-in fact, Stanley probably
was little steadier than Gessford. espe-
cially toward the close. There was not
much hitting done by either club each
connecting for six safe drives.
The general play of both clubs was
good. the kind BETTING a real champion
ship contest. The pitchers worked on their
mettle, the fielding was above the aver
age. and. as whole. the exhibition was
very creditable.
Fairlawn and Oxon Hill played a bril-
liant fielding game. only one error be-
ing charged during the entire contest.
That was given to Bentley in left field,
on what would have been a difficult play
had it been made.
The real feature of the contest though,
was the pitching. Dixon. who was on the
mound Tor OXon Hill. struck out ten men
and allowed six hits. while Vernste;ne
who did box duty for Fairlawn. allowed
the same number of safe drives but
struck out twelve
Jimmy Donnellys Emerald team won
from the f'aNorites rather easily. mainly
by reason of splendid pitching on the
part OF Hines Hines struck out thirteen
men and allowed only two scattered hits

thlng at all with the offerings of Hines.

poor game played in the field by KeI-
Ter gave 81. Agnes many opportunities to
score runs. and was the main cause OF
the victory gotten by that club. The
Keller aggregation made eight misplays
enough to lose any contest The pitching
the two CLUBS had to play behind was
about equal there being little difference
in the work of either mound artist in any
respect. The same number of hits were
gotten by each team. an equal number of
bases on balls were given. and two men
struck out on one side and three on the
other.
Dillon. pitching for the Iroquois, held
the Trojans to three hits. At that,
though. he came within an ace of rot,
winning his game. The Trojans got the
lead in the first part of the contest. Then
the Iroquois evened things up, after
which the two clubs played along with
the score standing to until the last
inning. when the 1roquois rallied and got
two men across the plate

around third base. led both clubs a, bat
He was credited with being up twice
though he was really at the plate four
times. out of those four attempts he got
two bases OH balls and two hits, which
gave him a perfect average for the day.
