SHOPS
GENERALS, 10
War Interbureau Champs
Play Onesided Game Be-
fore Large Crowd.
by JACK HAAS.

Before one of the largest crowds
of the District championship season
the Shops team of the Terminal Y.
NJ. c. A. League administered a
crushing defeat against the Gener-
ais, of the War Department, repre-
sentatives of the War Interbureau
League, Z to 0. Despite the one
sided victory there were many
thrills throughout the game.
The feature OF the game was the
strike-out record established by
Brown of the Shops aggregation. He
struck out thirteen of the Generals
and set back the first five batters TO
face him, three in the first and the
first two in the second. Niedfeldt
started on the mound for the Cen
erals and with two errors back of
him made a mess of it. Roche dis
placed him after Shops had Tailed
six runs retiring the next two bat
ters. After the first seance il was a
great battle between Roche and
Brown.
Shops scored six OF their seven
Vuns in the first on four hits, two
errors. and two base on balls. A.
ter that Roche held them in check
until the ninth. when Moran was
safe on an error by Lucas, stealing
second, he scored on Hughes sec
ond hit Of the game. The Generals
only had chance to score in the
eighth and ninth. getting two men
- q
two in the ninth after two were
gone. Kcihl Clark and Pitts made
several circus catches in the field.

man should. He VIII take his reg

we expect him to win games As
usual. l. he requires protection he
will receive il from us to the eX-

may lead.
Since joining the Yankees Carl
Mays has been loyal and PANS

clean and whose conduct has been
above reproach. He had our entire
confidence and Will have our Un-
stinted support.
The District Attorneys Office has
declared Ray ChaHuan's death to

Tris Speaker said. no one has the
right to call it anything but an

The priest who preached the fu-
neral service said: no hostile word
