Robert Z. Doyle. OF the District As
sociation, journeys to Richmond on
Sunday in behalf Of the winner of the
city title here to make arrangements
for the inter-city contests with the
Richmond winner.
Doyle has been instructed to turn
down the offer OF the Richmond As
ISOLATION as to the paying of expen-
ses for the two double-headers here
and in Richmond and to stick by
the original plan OF having both
cities split fifty-fifty on receipts
after expenses OF the game have
ben deducted.
War Risk is away out in front to-
day, although a triple tie exists for
second place. The first half OF the
series is completed as far as games
are concerned, and the War Riskers
have defeated Operations, Navy Yard,
and Southern.
Yesterdays contest with Naval
Operations proved to be just the same
sort OF hair-raiser that the others
have been, and War Risk came
through with a 7-tO-5 win.
Lem Owen essayed to start the box
work for the Temperamenta Opera
tors, and that's what he was-too
temperamental. He walked three, un-
corked a wild pitch and pulled a
throw TO the plate when no one came
home Result-two runs in the open |
er for War Risk.
In the next inning owen was plain !
ly off color. and after three solid |
whacks were registered, which in !
cluded double. Ed Kelly went to the |
rescue.
The Operators might have won had |
Kelly started, as he got along nicely
enough, allowing but two runs during /
the eight and tWo-thirds innings that
remained. But War Risk had gotten |
a fancy start, and all the hitting and
INDUCED in thereafter /
by the Operators failed TO measure up /
to the collection OF runs scored by
War Risk
Two players stood out head and
shoulders above the others yesterday
Tommy Degnan, thel chubby third
sacker Of the Operators. had a first-
class day, as did "Brons" Howard, Of
War Risk.
Degnan had one error charged
against him, but stabbed a line drive
Of JaFboe's that was ticketed for a
single. made two fne plays at thlro
on runners, and crashed a single and
double out of four. times up. His
double vas one OF the longest drives
seen In the series. There were two on
and IL required a perfect relay from
to Bleier TO Fees 20 ger
Degnan AZ third.
Howard. aid some fancy work
