Fred Mitchelrs collection of spawned

st. Louis fans never appreciated the
true worth of Derrill Pratt until the
slugging baseman was incapacitated.
Pratt was hit on the wrist with a
pitched ball by Jim Bagby in Cleve-

small bone being fractured. Manager
Fielder Jones has had all manner of
base, using MarsanS, an outfelder, in
that position yesterday. Pratt was a
tower of strength on the defense and
his hitting has been sadly missed. He
expects to be able to get into the game
again Monday.

HARD HITTING FEATURES
TWO LEAGUE CONTESTS
Hilltops and Auditors Clout Ball
Consistently in Winning

and held leads acquired early i'll the

There was some heavy hitting in both
games. Fitzgerald and Steele of the

| Two teams of soldiers are anxious to
arrange games with local athletic club
mines The % Company of Fort Myer
and the club representing Fort Hunt
want contests, particularly on Sundays.
Manager johnson of Fort Hunt is espe-
cially anxious 20 get in touch With the

for game tomorrow. Those desiring
meetings with the Fort Myer nine should
communicate with Manager MuSselman,
Troop d. Fort AIyer.
Two games are scheduled between indc-
pendent clubs for tomorrow. The Center
Market nine is to meet the WestoverS on
the diamond at 35th street and Wiscon-
sin avenue and the Red A. c. and Cleve-
land A. c. play at 9th street and Florida
avenue northeast. There is much inter-
est among the followers of both mines
concerning the latter game.
The Alexandria County Athletic Asso-
citation has postponed the track meet it
had scheduled for May 60 until Satur-
day, June IL. The postponement of the
Maryland State meet until that date
caused the action of the club.
Representatives of three high schools
are in Port Deposit today for the track
and field games at Tome School. West
ern, Central and Technical are figured to
have chance to do some point scoring.
Especially are Central and Technical rep
resented by several capable men, runners
who should make good showing in any
kind of competition among scholastic
athletes. 1t would not be a surprise if
one of these two squads were to win the
meet, particularly as Tome will not COM
pete for the trophy. There are few rep
resentatives of big prep schools entered,
a stronger squad than that which wears
the Blue and White of Central and the
Maroon and Gray of Tech.

ST. LOUIS, May 19.-Not so much be-
cause Washington played well as for
the reason st. Louis played poorly did
the Griffmen down the Browns yester-
day, 5 to 9.
Harper, who started for the visitors,
had nothing, and was removed after
the first inning, when a single through
Foster by Jimmy Austin and Baby
Dolr' Jacobson's terrific clout into the
left field bleachers gave the home
guard the only two runs they We're

Harper had nothing. Plank had less,
This was the second game. the veteran
from Gettysburg had essayed to start
as occurred the first time he was driven
from the box. Not technically, as he
finished the seventh inning, but actu-
ally, as q pass together with four safe
blows and u sacrifice gave the Griff-
men their final two counters in that
round, and led Fielder Jones to do
what everybody wondered why he
had not done several innings earlier
yank Plank.
George Du Mont, who succeeded Har-
per, let the Browns down with four
scattered hits in the eight innings he
worked. but was often in trouble, due
to his wildness. However, the Minneap-
oils dude had something on the ball
when he did get it over, and this fact
saved him from being scored on. His
work in the pinches stamped him as
being deserving Of having a game
added to his won" column, but the
fact that the score was 3 to in Wash
in2ton'S favor when George faced the
fray means that Harper will be credit
ed with the victory.

Miller when he tried to make third;
Rice moved up on Shanks out and

The Griffmen's third run, which it later
developed was enough to win, came in the
second inning as the result of Sisters

roller and a single by Gallia. who was
sent in to bat for Harper. 1t is not gen

sacrifices. one in furtherance of the
squeeze play. and four singles, all the
