All Mr.. Foss did yesterday against
Bill Donovan's gang here was to drive
in the two run< scored and rip OF a
slashing double to left, advancing a
runner from first to third. In the
field he handled four assists without
semblance OF an error, on his part.
First time up against Lefty Baum
gartner he died on a roller to the
box. On his second visit to the plate
two were down and Hank Shanks was
on third.
FOss HITS AT RIGHT TINE.
One run was needed to tie the
score and so, Mr.. Foss pumped a hot
one to left, scoring Shanks and put
ting the Griffs in the running. In
the sixth again he came up with two
down, but this time Brewer was on
first and the farthest the big fellow
could travel was to third on rousing
double. to left. No runs came over in
that frame. but that wasn't the fault
of young Mr.. Foss. In the eighth he
came up with Shanks on third. His
long drive in the air to Parkinson
brought Shanks ACROSS with what
looked to be the winning run.
That young fellow is worth look
ing at" says P4Aident Griffith. "He
was the Tampa Clubs clean up hitter
I've ever seen him. except in batting
practice at Tampa. He takes a fine
cut at the ball and ought to be a good
hitter. He'll have plenty of oppor-
tpntty to show me what he has be-

President Griffith from his seat in the
press coop. "If he can learn to get
some power behind his swing at bat
he may develop. He's a bit too green
now"

Today the second game of the
series with the Phlllies will be

the last here. both teams then going
to Tampa for a Saturday contest.
The first victory went to the
Phillies, 8 to 2, the National
Leaguers humping Erickson for
three hits and two runs in the ninth
frame. Zachary allowed three hits
and a run in the first five frames.
.Acesta gave one hit, triple, in two
frames, with no scoring. But Erie

Enzmann opened the ninth with a

Dick Fletcher. OF the William r
Singleton team in the Masonic League,
made one of the most sensational
"comebacks" in the last four frames
of a duckpin game rolled on the
Sherman alleys that has ever been
witnessed in Washington.
He rang up game of -151, after
getting bad brakes in the first six
boxes, ending the string with fchIr
consecutive strikes. In-the sixth
frame his score was 90 and the, four
strikes in that many boxes boosted
the figure to 151.

SUBURBAN LIKELY
TO DROP TWO HERE
Montrose and Capital City Must
Provide Home Courts
This Season.

Capital City and Montrose tennis
ton to their retaining berths in the
Suburban Tennis League this season
The failure Of the two clubs to pro-
vide courts for the use OF the league
in matches last summer made no end
OF trouble and brings up the question
as to the advisability of their retain
ing their positions in the circuit this
spring.
Within the next ten days the Sub
urban League will get action in a
meeting. at which time the schedule
will be talked over and the matter Of
retaining the two teams discussed.
Many Suburban League clubs are in
favor of dropping the Montrose and
Capital City teams from the race. 1t
is pointed out that both teams were
unable to provide suitable courts for
play last season and that the schedule
was not only interfered with but was
several times halted on account OF
having no courts available.
At present the lineup Of the
Suburban League is Argyle. Holmead
Bureau of Standards, Euclid, Fair
mont, Racquet. Montrose, and Capital
City. All OF the clubs save the last
two have courts of their own, and it
is expected that due notice will be
served upon them to provide courts
or step aside for other clubs anxious
to affiliate with the league.
An application from the Wardman
Park Club is expected at the meeting
scheduled shortly. While a new club,
the Wardman Park Organization is
said to possess strength enough to At
