The Eastern club seems to be the
strongest combination in the Potomac
League. The work Of the team so far
has been very consistent and of such
a character as to render q moro mormi-
dable opposition than any Of the other
mines in the organization. It is leading
by a good margin. having won a game
decisively from Fairlawn, which was in
second place. during the latter part Of
last week.
Before it disbanded there was one
club in the league that probably would
have probably given tho Eastern aggre-
cation a hard fight for the pennant, but
right now 1t appears that it will win the
championship without a great deal Of
trouble. The club is well fortified as far
as pitchers are concerned. while Its field
ers appear to be above the average.
Some excellent tennis was shown in
the matches held in the Y. M e. "A.
tournament yesterday. The match be-
round was productive of some very classy
play in the second set, the former finally
winning 1t was the best contested set
of the afternoon. The matches were
played on the courts at 2lst and b
streets.
Only one match was decided in the third
round, Ball defeating Waggoner. los
80 and 6-3. The remaining matches
will be played Monday.
The results follow:

The game yesterday between the two
very good ball at times. There were
flashes of play on the part OF members
Of both teams that were above the ordl-
nary, though consistency seemed TO Dc
lacking, which was to be expected. AN
Thompson pitched well for the ALI
Masonic team against the Harmony ag-
gregation, keeping some really good hit
tiers from cIouting the ball when hits
would have meant runs While he re-
ceived good support. there were times
It was on such occasions that he tight
ened up and moved down the opposition.
Such games as that of yesterday usually
are somewhat of a farce. but the players
OF both teams were IN there try1ns
to get runs and giving their best to win.
The All-Masonic aggregation got the long
end of the score because it did the bet
ter work It deserved to win.
But, as has been said. much OF the credit
should go to Thompson. as he pulled his
team out of deep holes on more than one
occasion.

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

The Detroits are occupying the role OF
jinx for the Chancemen. assisted by sew
eral others.
Foster of the Boston Red Sox has shut
out teams five times this season-the
Browns twice and Chicago. Detroit and
New York.
The presence of Jack Fourier at
first base in practice was regarded as
proof to the White Sox fans that Chase
intends to fit to the Buffeds despite de-
malls.
College records to date show some re-
markedly static base running on the part
Of three mines. Tufts in nineteen games
didn't steal a base. Neither did Williams
in twelve, nor Syracuse in seventeen.
In one afternoon against the Tip Tops
Kenworthy of the K G. Feds managed
to fill In between idle moments with
versatile display. He made two home
cepted eleven chances in the field without
an error, was in two double plays. made
one sacrifice hit, stole three bases and
helped his team take two games. Other
wise he was dead weight to the Pack
ers.
Pitcher Elmer Brown of Brooklyn has
suffered all season with q spratned foot.
He went to Bonesetter Reese. who fixed
1t. Brown rejoined the team feeling like
a new man and went out to hit q few
fungoes in batting practice. He was
hit over the eye with returned ball and
eight stitches had to be taken in the
wound. And then some people say there
Rogers, the University Of Michigan
catcher, who has Joined the Pittsburgh
Pirates. was under the eye OF Manager
Hickey OF the st. Louis Browns last fall,
but being lucky in securing catchers by
purchase and draft. Hickey concluded he
could not use Rogers. If he shows no
better than did Enzenroth. the Michigan
backstop given a trial by Hickey, he will
not be Of much help to the Pirates.

ers, Leonard and Foster, says a Boston
writer. Main was at Jersey City when
that club was the Red Sox farm, and in
the natural course of events would prob
ably have come this way. However,
after he was hit on the head his work
fell of and he was traded to Buffalo,
where he achieved even better results
than when on the Sox farm. The bean
ball works some queer changes In base
ball.
Johnny Murphy, shortstop Of the To-
ronto team of the Canadian League, is
out for the season with badly broken
leg.
One Of the most remarkable bones on
record was pulled by Johnny Bates of
the Cincinnati Reds In a game in the
series with Philadelphia. A Cincinnati
reporter thus speaks Of it: THE play
on Moran at third base In the second
inning was something unique. Many of
the fans did not know why Umpire KLEIN
sent Herb back to third base after he
had scored on MarshalPs wild throw
into left field. 1t was simply because
Johnny Bates, who had just scored
run, picked up the ball. which was in
play, and handed it to Marshall Johnny

the play. In fact, he helped Marshall by

100000 OUT OF WORK.
Iiailroad Men in the West Losing
SsO,OOO,0OO a Month.

Washington, June Chat 100000
railroad men in the West are out of
work, and these men and their fam
lilies are losing $30,000,00O month
because of the retrenchments by the
roads, was the statement made here
yesterday by Fred Feick, representa-
tive of 100000 Western railway
employees.
Feick came to the capital to urge
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to grant an increase in rates to
the railroads. The roads, he added,
lave been forced to retrench because
the rates are too low to return a
profit and permit of the development
of the lines.
'.Put these idle men back to work
and let them earn this S360,0OO,O0O
year they are now losing" Feick
asserted, "and they will put it in
circulation and improve business"
