Local League Standing.
League Notes.

Adams continues to hold the lead, hit
ting a 800 clip in both games.
Come around this coming Saturday and
see who's who. 1t will be worth your
time and money.
"Mucker" Clune continues to punch out
the timely hits. producing the necessary
in the second inning.
Rather a queer coincidence. but both
games ended with a double play, pulled
off in both cases by the winner.
And where was Wood? Seemed rather
quiet without him. Fort Drummer had
strength enough although minus his ser
vices.
The Lasters can now hear the foot
steps approaching on horseback and will
either have to speed up or pull out to
one side to let some one go by.
"HoOky" Urus furnished considerable
amusement with his line of talk, and
needed only n suggestion from the fans
when he sagged to get started again.
Somebody said Plumb was after the
batting honors. Judging from the way
he is singing the ball lately all eight
cylinders must be working. How bout
it. Harry?
Graves of the Toymakers, after falling
off in hitting last week, came back strong.
getting three out of four up and but for
a pretty catch by Morrill, would have
made it four.
Lest we forget, it might be we'll 70
mention that not only has a player, to
be eligible to the individual prizes got
TO participate in eight games but he must
also be in the league at the end of the
season.
Although the cold wind kept Moore
from getting warmed up he pitched his
most effective game of the league season,
holding Fort Drummer to fonr hits. no two
coming together, issued no passes and
famed six.
Fisher boosted his average again, con-
Meeting for three hits in as many times
at bat. Just at present the Toymakers
have strong sticking outfit, with Plumb.
Graves. Adams. Moquin, Moore and
Fisher in the lineup.
The strong wind helped the pitchers
with their speed but did not let them have
a chance to get warmed up. This was par
ticularly true in Barry'S case, as he was
unable to get loosened up. consequently
was touched up freely by Fort Drummer.
One lapse of memory or misunder-
standing as to how many were out prob
ably cost the LasterS something in the
fifth for with two down and the bases
full Burke laid down bunt. only to be
thrown out at first. Somebody slipped
on this play.
The strong wind robbed Kennedy of
a hit when it caught his low liner well
inside the left field foul line and carried
it away outside. Under normal condi-
tons this probably would have been good
for at least a three-bagger, if not the
circuit, and there was one on at the time
Next Saturday is likely to see some
| changes in the league standing. when the
Toymakers play both the Lasters and the
COttOns. Should the $. A. Smith Mfg. Co.
win both games, first place will be theirs
without dispute. but then that is another
story. With that outfit strengthened as
at present, however, they look like a
pretty good bet for the bacon.
Evidently someone thinks there is q
war tax connected with the collections on
Saturdays. for the receipts always come
out in uneven money, such as three cents
and SO on. There is no tax, and the
treasury would greatly appreciate seeing
the admission minus the tax rather than
the tax minus the admission. 1t costs
money to play even local league ball
