Down League Leaders, But
Walks Six.
WALTER BEALL FEATURES
Crescent HurIer Wins Own
Game With Homer After
Tanning 'TWenty-one.
By BRYAN MORSE.

When a pitcher defeats an ac-
knowledged league leader, it is a
feat worthy of more than passing
consideration. When the Machin-
lists, of the Potomac League, are
beaten-let down without a hit or
a run, and when seventeen Of the
best batters in amateur circles are
ignominiously famed by a varied
assortment Of hooks, the perform
ance becomes a record. So much
for the glory Of Mike Cantwell, we'll
known southpaw, a member of a
well-known baseball family and a
record holder.
Cantwell pitched yesterday for
st. Teresa in the Potomac League.
1t was tipped off before the contest
that the game between st. Teresa
and Machinists would be "A corker.
1t was. Cantwell allowed six bat
ters to take their base on generosity
alone, and this was the only mar
ring note in his performance. ST..
Teresa won by 4 to 0, and got back
for the blanks recently handed out
by Machinists who carried betty"
Carrico over the jumps to a to D
win.
But Cantwell is not the only finger
who comes in for praise and glory to-
day. Over in the Rosedale League.
Walter Beall's friends are asking the

ances to see If any amateur pitcher has

and three batters We're walked.
But the fact that the pitching came in
for great consideration is only balanced
by the home run knocked by the same
player in the final inning when the score
was against him. The final round found
Eastern Rotary ahead by to g. Beall's
homer. with other hits, brought the
score to to in favor of the Crescents
