TEAMS STILL TIE
Eagles and Clarendon Lead in
Title Series With ESQ Each.
Standing of Clubs

AS a result of yesterdays games In
the series for the amateur baseball
championship OF northern Virginia,
in which Cardinals lost to Clarendon
and the White Sox to the Eagles, the
Eagles and the A. C. A. A. nine
are in tie for first place, followed by
tina Cardinals and White Sox, respec-
lively. This broke up the tie existing
since last week between the Cardi-
nails, Eagles, and Clarendon for the
lead.
Cardinals played under a greau
disadvantage, however, insomuch as
they had journeyed to Annapolis Sat
urday afternoon, where they defeat
ed the plebe midshipmen by mar
row margin, but owing to poor tram
service, did not arrive in their home
town until about one o'clock Sunday
morning. This forced them to play
Yesterdays game with their oppon-
ents, the county athletes, with but
several hours rest after hard game
Saturday.
The White Sox may be counted out
of the running temporarily, at least,
although it is possible that this club
might take brace and win several
of their next games. They have been
defeated by all of the clubs, however,
the Eagles putting it over them twice,
and comparison shows that they are
not playing quite the same article OF
ball as the rest of the clubs.
Next Sunday, August -, Cardinals
line up against the White Sox, at
Baggett's diamond, while the Eagles
take on the A. C. A. A. nine at N.
Alfred street. This game cannot pos
sibly leave tie for first place, as the
two leaders play each other, but it
is possible that tie may result for
second place.

a score of to G, George Allensworth

what was one of the most interesting,
hardfought, and evenly contested
matches the Cardinals have played

The nine representing Purcellville,
in Loudoun county, was defeated by
the Alexandria Eagles, Saturday, by
the same score by which the midship-
men were defeated by the Cardinals,
7 to 6. Timely hitting by the Eagles
won the contest for them.
Crawford, who started for the
Eagles, was relieved by Lefty
White who held down his opponents
in fine form, and Hersberger was in
the box for Purcellville.
A doubleheader was scheduled be-
tween the Eagles and Purcellville,
but the first game went into extra
innings and the second game was
called in the fourth to allow the
Eagles to catch a train.

Mr.. COLLIER GETTING
NERVOUS.
Mr.,

Evidently our present con-
gresham is not feeling just as
confident as he would like to
about being reelected. Such is
the life of a congressman Of
whom the best that can be said
is that he has not done any
harm.
When a man has a good record
of things accomplished he al
ways relies on that, because that
is what he was sent there for.
If he has no record of things
done, then he squeals give me
another chance, another term, or
a number of terms and maybe
some day I will do something.
Such is the reason for the
sending out of the circular on
the subject of Baby Congress
men," Nobody blames those
fellows for wanting the jobs
again, but it is a little surprising
that they should want the gov
eminent to pay for the expense
of their getting them. If every
congressman sent out these cir
culars it would cost the govern
ment about 5000, 100000. This
much money would be used to
forward the interests of these
fellows. This is just petty pill
fering from the government
treasury.
Maybe we are taking too Sc
rious a view of this. The only
other view to take, though, is
that Mr.. Collier wants to adver-
tise the fact that he is still a
baby congressman. If this be
his purpose he could have saved
the government the expense as
we know this already.
