treasury now is playing Detter Dali
in the Departmental League than at
any other time this season. 1t has not
been defeated for some time, and is
getting all the essentials for a sue
cessful season. Ryan has been work
ing well on the mound for several
weeks. and Downey recently gave evil
dence that he is in shape to pitch win
ming ball again. Good pitching with
the kind of offensive and defensive sup
port the hurlers are getting ought to
enable Treasury to give the other clubs
mighty hard fight for championship
honors in this half of the schedule.
The game Treasury played with War
yesterday was simply walkover, the
i former winning by % to O.. Ryan shut
War out with two hits. and the men
behind him gave him splendid support
in the field and at bat. Every member
of the team connected with the ball for
at least one hit, and three of them
made three each Bell did the hardest
hitting, getting two three baggers and
a single out of four attempts.
BY scoring two runs in the last In

the Home Club League from Land by
to T. Rittenour outpitched Rohrman.
as far as the number Of hits allowed
were concerned. but the former fall
tered in the closing period sufficiently
to allow the Patent team to get across
the tying and winning run.
The shortstops Of the two clubs fea-
tured the play. Both batted we'll and
fielded their positions brilliantly. w.
Rittenour of Land got four hits out
run and handled six chances in the
field; Fisher Of Patent scored run,
got a three-bagger and single in four
attempts, stole a base and accepted six
opportunities for fielding plays. Tan

batted exceptionally well, as did
Shalin. first baseman for Patent.
Law proved no match for Trans
portation in the Southern Railway
League. losing by to IL. Law scored
three times in its half of the opening
period, but its lead was short-lived, be-
cause Transportation got two in the
first and two more in the second. Rob
inson played well on the infield for
Law, and Hayes at second and Turner
at short for Transportation proved the
fielding stars. All three of these play
ers used their bats effectively, too. two
three baggers being among their seven
hits.
st. Paul and Rosedale played a close,
interesting contest in the Rosedale cir
cult. the former winning by to 3. Coe.
who pitched for ST. Paul, did some splen-
did work, as he kept the few hits of the
losers well scattered. The offerings of
the st. Paul man were nicked only three
times for safeties, while eleven of the
Rosedale batters failed to hit fair balls.
Davidson's good batting was another big
factor in St. Paurs victory, three of the
| five safeties gotten by ST. Paul being
driven off his bat. Two singles and a
homer out of four times up was David
sons record. Fitzgerald was the star of
the .Rosedale club, eight fielding chances
being accepted by him and a two-bagger
and single being the result Of his efforts
at bat.
Bittenbender pitched well enough for
Keller to blank Reformation in the East
Washington Sunday School League The

plate. driving out homer and two sin
giles. Flynn Of the same club also drove
the ball far enough to enable him to make
the circuit of the bases
Steel Plant proved too strong in the
Congress Heights League for the Ran
dali team, winning by to 4. Bush
held Randall to three hits and famed
fourteen, his performance standing out
above that of the other players. Bar
rett did some clever mound work for
the losers and really deserved a bet

cause of poor support. Elliott got
| three-base hit and three singles out
of five trips to the plate Treadway
caught well for the winners.
/ Fairlawn displayed better form than
usual yesterday, and won from Con-
gress Heights in the Potomac League
The pitching of Brown was mainly
responsible for the decisive victory,
| one of the best exhibitions of the
year being given by him. Browns hurl-

Cassidy and Dodge were the only
players on the losing club to hit Brown
