ROUNDTREE THE HERO
BY JOHN A. DUGAN.

All aboard. We are on to Richmond.
This was heard on every side by some
5000 amateur baseball fans yesterday
who attended the three games in the
two sections. where the cream of local
mines are batting for the District cham
pionship. On the field across the river,
the largest crowd that ever journeyed
to Anacostia to witness a ball game

thrills and exciting moments handed the
~ 900 fans present could be heard over
THE entire Capitol Hill
The fans of Mount Pleasant turned
out In q good number to see their repre-
sentatives in this title series come out
ON the long end of the score, while the
visitors who arrived at Union Station
were amazed TO learn that only two
amateur clubs were meeting. as the
noise and roofing of the fans present
on the field east of the terminal station
reminded one Of a real battle for the
worlds championship.

In the seventh frame which tied the
count in this contest five all and put
the "Gunmen'' back in the running for
the title. This little second sacker who
has always been considered by his fol-
lowers as weak willow wielder,

to be the hero of the first days play
in the amateur title series. With one
down Giovannetti doubled to left field
and the hopes of the fans from Uncle

wher Rourdtree stepped to the plate,
but "Blick' made good Ind last night

New York, Aug. 14.-Race officials
would help the sport immensely il

prevent the possibility of error in
judgment as to the winper and the
money horses in each race.
The racing game. both the trottine
and running departments, are replete
with instances where the spectators
have disagreed with the judges in de-
cisions as to head or nose finishes. In
view of the fact that The public bets
it's money on the races and that it is
entitled to every bit. Of protection

During a recent race at Detroit
there were two finishes SO close that
the judges decided to wait until the

didn't help much because 1t is almost
impossible for q swapping camera to
get the horse on the fraction of the
second that the winner crosses the

gets the horses q fraction before or q
fraction after the finish Is crossed
and 30 . snapshot picture isn't Of
much value IN enabling the judges to
