the enemy out at least nine innings
in order to let Gals gang get run

IF Cicotte hadn't been bad some
one else would have assumed the
blame. It is welcome change for
Sox pitcher to be slightly off color.
It shows they are human. Chase was
of great assistance to CicOtte in the
fatal second making enough errors
to cinch the game for Washington.
Today the Sox open a series with
the Athletics. Apparently the Mack

age to shut the Mackmen out until
darkness halts the pastime, and we
won't lose.

Treasury RECORD
IN SERIES SPOTLESS
Looked Upon as Having Fine

inqton Amateur Title.
By KIRK c. MILLER.

Tassing through the sectional series
without a single defeat registered
against 1t. Treasury, Of the league
known by the same name, is today
hailed as a potent factor In the post
ship OF the District Of Columbia, which
will begin, possibly tomorrow. 1t wen

Treasury picked UP its fourth straight
victory yesterday when 1t took the
measure Of the Postoffice outfit by to
/. Lefty" Downy having done himself
proud in hurting his team to victory.
But four safeties were registered Of Of
Downeys offerings while the Treasury
lads landed on Ryan and Stanton for
eleven bingies. Four brilliant double
plays marked the closing game OF the
Class G. schedule, three OF them being
crowded into the first two innings.
That race in Class A is not unlikely
to go into a tie today, when the Eastern
and Emerald A. G. get together. Yes
terday, Eastern came back into Its
stride and won from Tenleytown by z
to 2, but the Emeralds are going to do
their best today to knot the standing.
life.
Despite the fact that Jones. vern-
stein and March were all sent into the
fight to stop the Eastern lads, the lat
ter, with Buck. Becker leading In
the defensive work, had little trouble
winning. Five wildly separated hits
were permitted by Becker, who looked
the best he has in any intersectional
game.
There seemed today to be little doubt
but that an extra day will be required
to decide the leadership in Section b.
as Brightwood, the weak sister Of the
class meets Ninth. and the latter Is
picked as an easy winner.
Such \ result would make Ninth and

little competition in which they have
thrust themselves. Should Ninth get

The Army-Navy game may be staged
at Shibe Park. home Of the worlds
champion Philadelphia Athletics Both
service schools decline to allow the
game to be played at Potomac Park.
owing to the demands said to have been
made upon the institutions fer free
tickets. As this is the Nays turn to
select the location. the Middies may
choose Shibe Park. which can easily
hold the 1000 seats needed. Franklin
Field is too small. and Pennsylvania

tickets. The Navy cannot see its way
to travel all the way to New York. the
