His brilliant work on the mound has
been big factor in keeping Donovan's
tribe in the race.
been steadily improving. He is rated as
above the average fielder His one or
! two errors for the season have been on
| hard chances. If he can overcome his
nervousness he should rank as one of the
best outfelders in the circuit.
Joe Hurney played Tommie Thompson
on third base last week against the Gen.
eral Office nine and the shift from the
| outfield worked splendidly. Tommie
| handled four chances without an error
! and punctured the horsehide for a dou-
! BILE and two singles. The other time up
| he poked one down to third, and Young
tried to get the man going to second, an
| error resulting. which figured in the
scoring. Thompson's offensive play has
always been good. but his shift to the
infeld has bolstered up the Station
teams defense wonderfully.
The morning league, while it is not as
fast as the evening circuit provided
some hard-fought contests last week On
Monday the Baggage team won from
Car Department, to . showing over five
scores in the fifth and clinching the con-
test. As the morning league progresses
and the teams settle down, the games
should be closer and harder fought The
players In the morning league go on to
the field after having worked eight hours
at night. and some allowance must be
made for misplays when this fact is con-
sidered. There is no doubt but that the
morning league stands alone in the Dis
trict as a strictly amateur organization.
Most of the players are grown men and
they enter the games with but one OBJ
ject. the sport of the thing Other
leagues are no doubt on an amateur
basis, but everybody in position to |
know the facts realizes that there is |
much tockeying and figuring to make a |
pennant winner. and the ultimate vic !
tory is given first call over sport for |
sports sake.
Lem Owens added another three-hit
game to his record last week. tn.
strong Clarendon nine being the vic
Tins.
The Gallaudet battery, composed Of
Six Rasmussen and Kendall, made their
debut in the Potomac League in a most
suspicious fashion. Rasmussen allowed
but one scratch hit and Kendall made
one hit and accepted ten chances cas-
lily. The first mar for Fairlawn to reach
first was in the sixth when Evans
threw wild to the initial corner.
Roy Evans. at short for St. Teresa.
accepted the first five chances that
came his way and fooled the next
three.

streak was broken by the Rotary nine,
