ganized Baseball Champion
ship Honor at Union Park.
ny BRYAN MORSE.

They're at IL again today, Shops
and Navy Yard. desdiocked In the
inaI league series for the organized
baseball championship OF the Dis
triet, are meeting today at Union
Park. Fifteenth and Il streets at 4;45
y. m.
The whole Navy Yard has promised
to be on hand today. All Of the Ter
minal Railroad Y. M. C. A followers
as well as those interested In the fate
OF the Shops team have promised TO
speed out to Jimmy Wrights baili-
wick TO watch the battle.
There Is considerable speculation
on the pitching selections today. The
Navy Yarders are expecting Frye to
go on the hillock. Those who have
the Shops interests at heart are fig-
uring that Lefty" Kagle Is ripe for
today's pastiming on the mound.
At any rate a pleasant time will be
had by all In the event OF win
either way. Monday. Shops looked all
too good for the Navy Yarders. Yes
terday the Navy Yarders bobbed up
| like the mayor OF Cork. They re-
fused to be counted out and with
Serrin pitching manfully despite a
wrenched knee, they up and wal
loped the Shops players
Shops won the first game by 10 TO

OF direction In the shape of Mccarthy,
the Navy Yarders won by to 8. 1t
was a loose one. boys, but the Zoners
zoomed away with 1t.
There was heavy hitting, rotten
| fielding. poor headwork and punk
pitching. in that game yesterday. 1t

| but can be laid to the fact that both
clubs were pretty nervous and both
very anxious to win.
Jack Mcknight crossed the dope
| like real big league manager and
sent Sam Brown to the mound.
Brown pitched well enough to win
! a game, but got some wobbly support.
even Roxey Roche dropping 'em. In
the third when Giovanneti missed a
foul fly Dutch" Kiehl skied one by
Worden Dyer. which went for a
double and scored three runs. Two
more counted shortly after and II
| looked like Shops again until the
Navy Yard men woke up and poked
'em all over the lot when Brown
sent 'em up to the plate.
Seems that Jack Mcknight pulled
a good one in holding Kagle in re-
| serve. Lefty Serrin may be worked
| back again today. He has often
picked two or three games in a row
or Frye may be used for the Navy
Yarders but Mcknight has his pitch
| ing ace ready for service and Kagle
Is almost sure to go to the mound
for the Shops players.
The winner of today's game viii
be the league champion OF the Dis
| trict or the champion of organized
baseball here. The winner will prob
ably play the Church Hill A. c. team
of Richmond Va. for the organized
baseball championship in an inter-
city series.
beginning tomorrow the Silver
| Springs team enters with today's
winner in series for the city cham
pionship. The Silver Springs team is
almost the same aggregation as that
which represented the navy in the
section A series.
There was some talk of the win
| ner of today's game falling to play
Silver Springs in a final series. The
matter was apparently adjusted yes
terday and the teams will meet as
| per schedule. The winner OF the finar
| series which starts tomorrow gains
The Washington Times Cup.
