Rosedale and Treasury are to meet

ball championship of the District. The
former was made winner of the title
in section A of the post season series
when Bureau defeated Holy Name and
prevented that club getting a tie; the
latter captured the honors in section

long end of the score from Keller in

are to take place at the Terminal Rail-

1t looked for a while yesterday as if
Holy Name would come through with Il
victory. necessitating a play-oH today
of the tie which then would have eX-
listed with the Rose,lales. but in the
seventh inning Bureau got four men
over the plate. These four runs put
the Potomac League club in the lead
and gave it a margin which the Cath
Ollie nine was not able to overcome.
The score was to 3. When Bureau
went in to take its turn at bat in the
last half of the seventh the score stood
3 to 1 in favor of Holy Name.
Here is the final standing of the
teams in the post-season sections:

McCarty, the Brooklyn catcher, for
Fred Merkle. the Giants star first
sacker, is the latest trade to be pulled
off in the major leagues Announce
ment of the deal was made last night
at the Gibson House, the headquarters
of the Dodgers.
The statement was made that the
deal was an out-andout {trade, no
money or other players being involved.
The contamination of the deal came
after several days of conferences held
over the long distance telephone be-
tween McGraw and Robinson
Manager Robinson of the Dodgers
announced that the deal lacks only the
signing of the papers and the transfer
of the players. He said he could see no
possible hitch over night that would
affect the deal in any way. The deal
will give the Giants the much needed
strength behind the bat which the team
now lacks. while Merkle is badly need

Jimmie Green has been hitting in hard
luck during the series. He has been In
the outfield for Holy Name in every
contest and has been landing on the ball
hard almost every time he has faced the

tired the side by stepping on the base

who was on first. No man in the series
has hit in worse luck than Green.
Lyons was the hero Of Yesterdays
game from Rosedale standpoint. The
Bureau hurler kept the Holy Name hits
fairly well scattered and won his game
under Instantaneous circumstances.
The Holy Name club was fighting for
the long end of the score in it's most
important contest of the year. while
Bureau had nothing to gain or to lose
as far as the ultimate result of the
series was concerned. Many of those
who watched the 2 to game between
Rosedale and Holy Name Thursday did
not think Bureau would show sufficient
interest even to put a team on the field,
but such did not prove to be true by
any means. 1t was Lyons pitching
which was in the main responsible for
Bureaus victory, and which gave the
Rosedale club the title. Besides pitch
ing we'll Lyons got two clean hits, had
two putouts and four assists. showing
he was quite an all-round factor in
the result. Johnny Blair was the only
other member of the club to connect
for more than one hit and he got a
double and a single out of as many
times at bat.
Mccarthy. Green and Giebel were the
members of the losing club to get more
than one safety. Each connected for
two drives into unoccupied territory.

Eddie Ainsnith, the brilliant catcher of
the Nationals. is in all probability out of
the game for the remainder of the season.
The N-ray taken yesterday of the in
jured little finger of his right hand
showed him to be suffering from a COM
pound fracture of the bone.
This will take considerable time to heal.
and the chances are Ainsnith will be al
lowed to go home after the Nationals
leave on their final trip. after which the
team does not return here to play any
games.
on.sthe Griffmen's chances for the team is
well supplied with catchers, shaving Henry,
Charity and Williams to draw from.
The fact that both Doc Ayers and Jim
Shaw have shown brilliantly in their last
few appearances means much to the Griff-
men. who may yet be able to occupy Il
first division berth before the season is
over With about thirty-eisht games still
to play. Griffith will have a better pitching
staff than some of his rivals. with John
son. Ayers. Shaw Harper and Gallia to
draw from. Maurice Craft. too, may be
given a chance. and Thomas. the Des
Moines left-handfr. also is expected soon.
Joe Leonard did not get into yesterdays
Rame. much to his sorrow. because he
injured his wrist in sliding into second
tue day before. Under the energetic
treatment of Trainer Martin it is ex-
pected the youngster may be able to
sumo his position at third base again to-
day.
Doc Ayers. who. in his last two
games, has shown brilliant form. will
be pitted against the White Sox today
in the final game the Sox play here this
season.
1t matters not which of his pitchers
Rowland uses. for if the doctor con-
tinues the good work he has shown
recently he will be-a hard proposition
to solve. But Griffith will have Walter
Johnson on deck in the event that
Ayers should get into trouble.
Howard Shanks is playing the best
bail of his career at present. He is
not only playing well in the field, but
he is hitting like fiend. getting three
safe blows in four trips to the plate
yesterday.
Shanks Judge and Mcbride came
through in both the fifth and sixth in
nings with three clean hits. and it was
this timely hitting which gave the To-
Gals their five runs.
Mcbride had a batting average ot
LOCO, for he was hit by pitched ball
singled off Williams in the fifth and
off Wolfgang in the sixth.

No. Displaying Mixed Doubles.

| Mixed doubles are faster and there
| fore are much better fun than ladies'
doubles; it is a game which very much
like. There seems to be an idea that
the woman should be spared in mixed
doubles that chivalry demands the
hard returns be directed toward the
! man. This is a foolish idea and 1t does
not work out in tournament play. In
all the tournaments which 1 have
played in mixed doubles, the girl has
always been selected as the target in
precisely the way that you would Sc
lect any weak partner or any weak spot
in an opponents game. l think this is
much the better way. 1t is considerably
more fun, and any girl who is afraid
to handle the smashes. or to receive
the cannon BALI service, had best
stay out of mixed doubles.
The plan of campaign in mixed
doubles is somewhat different from
that in woman's doubles, because your
male partner will usually be better
player than you are, and, when there
is doubt as to who should take the
ball. you will let him take 1t, If his
stroke happens to be stronger. OF
course, you will hardly select a male
partner who is weaker than yourself.
If you can play net, take that posi-
ton when your partner serves, but il
you are very weak at the net and
strong on ground strokes. play back of
the base line and only go to the net
when the man also goes. 1t is very
important that you work in unison, but
in exceptional cases this may be varied.
You will need more practice in a
mixed doubles team than in ladies'
doubles, because the tendency of your
male partner will be to take returns
that ought to be yours because he can
cover more of the court than you can.
You will have to determine by actual
play, the regions in which each Is to
be supreme. Aslittle practice in this
respect will vastly improve the strength
of the team.
The play is much the same As in
other doubles except that you will d.
rect your attack on the opposing girl
The great fun of mixed doubles for the
girl is that she gets alI the hard shots.
