leagues yesterday was that which took
place between the Printers and Emeralds
In the Central circuit. There was hardly
feature that was not above the ordi-
nary. The pitchers did excellent work.
the fielding bordered on the brilliant at
times and the general aspects Of the
contest showed class. The score was
to 0 in favor of the Emeralds.
"Shag" Rawlings was the most effec-
tive player in the lineup Of either club.
Pitching for the Emeralds, he let down
the Printers with one lone hit and eight
men were sent back to the bench by
strike-outs. Weaver also did some very
creditable hurting. the Emeralds con-
meeting but five times with his offerings.
Thornburg. playing left field for the
Printers. got their only hit. while Hol-
loran made two and PARROT, Murdoch
and Donnelly one each for the Emeralds.
The fielding also was exceptional. The
Printers made but one miscue, while their
opponents did not have an error charged
against them. Donnelly, at second base
for the Emeralds, had seven assists to
his credit while Cutting, shortstop for
the Printers. accepted six chances.

gait In the Potomac League. Unless some
club defeats 1t soon it will come pretty
near to running away with the league

mas not lost game, a record of which
no other club can boast. And the ma
such manner as to be convincing of its
strength. Judging by what it has done,
no other organization has better than an
outside chance to beat it out for the pen

year if 1t should lose out.
Yesterday Eastern defeated oxon Hill
