of oxon Hill. The work of the pitchers
in the game between the Eastern Ciub
and Oxon Hill has already been mem
toned. Both teams scored a lot Of runs
in the Fairlawn-Steel Plant contest, the
first mentioned getting ten on sixteen hits
and the last scoring eight times on five
safeties.
The general playing of Dean at short
for the Eastern Club was the most note
worthy work in that game. He accepted
five chances and made no errors. He also
got a hit. The best feature of the play
of Fairlawn was the hitting of Miller.
He connected safely every time he went
to the plate, and he was up on four oc-
casions. Two of his wallops were for
doubles, the others being singles.
The Highlanders won a 6-to-3 game
from the Iroquis in the Rosedale League.
The work of both teams was above the
average, though superior hitting by the
Highlanders gave them the victory. They
got ten safeties, while the Iroquois were
able to connect with the ball only fve
times. Several of the wallops Of the win,
ners were for extra bases, Behrle and
Anderson each getting three-bagger.
Only three errors were charged against
the two teams, two going to the High
landers and one to the Iroquois.
While no prediction will be made
relative to the probable outcome of the
polo match to be played between repre-
sentatives of this country and Great
Britain, the chances are that one of
the closest and hardest competitions
ever seen in that sport will take place.
Much talk in England of not send
ing team. Of how poorly the
players were working and of other dis
sensions seems to have aroused a feel
ing of confidence here that is entirely
unwarranted. While victories have been
gained in recent years, there is no rea-
son for believing that the English ag-
sresation may be held cheaply. Only
the other day the American defenders
were defeated by scrub asgregatio
by something like 10 goals to 5. The
English team is made up of players of
fact that they are not claiming an easy
victory would tend to indicate that
they really expect more than they have
met in some time Certainly. feeling
placing of 2-to-1 odds on the American
team is inspired more by patriotism than
by any real knowledge of superiority.
