CLEAN BALL MARKS
The AMATEURS PLAY
Melady Mavericks Take the
Lead When Dennison Drives
the Pill Over the
Fence.
By FRANK QUIGLEY.

To date hospital parchments have
been dished out to the local gladiators
in wholesale packages, but as far as
the writer could learn, Sunday drew
a blank because fortunately nothing
serious enough to entitle the bearer to
an injury certificate happened. A
noticeable thing can be lampec in
looking over the stock this season.
The final obsequies have been ad.
ministered to many veterans and they
are resting in the cemetery OF
obscurity, while the youngsters are
proceeding to demonstrate they can
juggle the pill with more ginger and
little more accurately than the fell
lows that formerly received base ball
bouquets.

climb down the ladder of fame grace

fought like trojans to retain their ex-
allied position yesterday afternoon be-

Hits a Homer.
With the score knotted in the final
chapter, Manager Dennison spanked
one over the boards for the count and
the groceries. Wolfe also nailed one
for the limit at an opportune mo-
ment. Sullivan, for the Meladys
breezed ten, and Andrews, for the op-
position, struck out eleven. By COL
lecting this mix the Melady Nave
ricks own berth one of the Greater
Omaha league, and barring an unfore-
seen reversal of form they will hold
down this coveted stall for some
moons to come.
Yep, the Murphy-Did-Its still lead
the City league and the Carter Lake
Club is apparently satisfied with the
basement.
In the American league the Town
sends held the fort by squeezing a
victory by one point from the Central
Furniture Store. The Walnut Hill
Athletics creeped into second place
by icing nifty 1-to-0 struggle from
the National Cash Registers.

before the Stays settled down, and
after this unfortunate inning nothing
but blanks were dished out by the

ANSWER THE CALL
Twenty Members of Southeast Club
Have Enlisted for War.

The board Of directors Of the
Mohawk Athletic Club reached a de-
cision last night whereby athletic
competition will be disbanded for the
period OF the war. The southeast
Clubmen have been making a great
effort to keep up athletic work among
it members, but the executive board
found it impossible TO muster in
enough players to put a nine on the
field this season.
Plans for football were talked over
and when it was found that most OF
the stars Of the champion team OF
1915 and 1916 had answered the call
to Colors, it was thought advisable TO
abandon the gridiron sport for the
season. Twenty former athletes OF
the Indians have answered the call

membership is hmIted to nifty. il has
put quite a dent in their athletic
prospects.

PURCELLVILLE TEAM

The crack baseball team from Pur-
cellville, Va, will make its annual
visit to Clarendon Sunday afternoon
to meet the Alexandria County nine in
a double-header. the first game to be-
gin promptly at 1:30.
On the occasion of the last visit to
Clarendon of the team from the foot
hills of the Blue Ridge, It required
some excellent pitching on the part of
Won Herbulis in order to get one of
the two games, and the visitors made
such a good impression by their hard
playing and genteel appearance and
conduct that Manager Jones expects
an unusually large attendance at the
coming games.
Henry Mcdaniel, the elongated
poultry expert, who was a member of
the Nationals for about a minute. is
down to twirl one of the games
against Clarendon, and as he has noe
lost game in more than two seasons,
the county boys are up against a

SANDLOT LEAGUES
Will CONSOLIDATE
Capital City Winners May Play
Series with First Half Champions.

SandIot baseball has been having
its ups and downs this season, due
to so many youngsters answering the
call OF Uncle Sam. The Rosedale
League has been on rocky edges at
various times during the past few
weeks. but President Smithson has
at last got things running along
rather smoothly.
The first series is yet to be COM
pleted. The Maroon Club. which is
leading the circuit, has four more
games to play and must win one of
this quartet to land the title. The
Columbias have two games yet to
play and must win both to stay in
the running, while the Printers are
booked for three contests, and are
compelled to turn in this number
of victories to have a chance at
the bunting in the first series.
The Capital City League has prac-
tical'y blown, as none OF the mana
gers have been able to muster a
team for the scheduled games during
the past week. Secretary Gauzza, of
the Junior organization, is now con-
sidering affiliating with the Rosedale
League and forming a six-club cir
cult. The Truxton, winners of the
UrSJ nalt IN the Ndplldl Nlty lcdSue'
and the Takoma team will Join the
ranks OF the Rosedale League If pres
ent plans materialize.
Plans are under way to have the
Truxtons play a three or five-game
series with the winners OF the first
half in the Rosedale League, and
the team that is victorious in
this series will be named winners
of the first half in each league. The
second series in the Rosedale League
would then get under way with
six-club circuit. A meeting Of the
officers and managers of the two
leagues will be held sometime this
week when a decision will be reached.
The following is the schedule of the
Rosedale League that must be COM
pleted before winner can be de-
termined: Today. Printers VS.. Column
bias; Thursday, Bakers VS.. Maroons;
Monday. Maroons VS.. Printers.
