ball club and their little playmates.

yesterday in the final round of the
title event at Dumbarton. and Haas
Emerged a victor after three sets of
clever tennis.
Phillips succumbed by rs. 6-2,
and Is. 1t was a great battle and
brought out some of the cleverest
tennis of the tournament. A notice.

his determined stand in the face of
opposition. Twice before in the
tournament Haas has come through
in the last two sets and has won

thirty-six circuit smashes were con-
tributed by the big league players

made five home runs, Peckinpaugh
getting two of them. And on the same
afternoon Charity, the Washington
catcher, made five hits, two Of them
being good for a complete journey
