The Washington times., 1922-05-17


pie of times. Skipper Alec. how
ever, always finds a way TO piue
holes in the Gibraltars' leaky boat.
Until Trinity A. G. was bumped
into, the independents had won seven
straight games. The Independents
say they can whip Trinity on a neu-
trail field.
One Of the independents best
pIayers is Dick Schlos,er. who
plays centerfield. He Is an all
around capable performer.
Miss Lorraine Wall, Friendship A.
c. manager, disagreed with the uIn-
pire with the score at IA all in the
eighth inning OF a game with tho
Clevelands and yanked her team or
the field. The Clevelands claim A
victory, IL to Z. reverting to the
seventh inning score.
Wow! The Manhattan Midgets
bound and declare they've won fif-
teen straight.
Clatterbuck is taking rank as a
leading pitcher by his work witt;
Dominican Lyceum. His latest vic
tins, the Optometrists, got three
hits and eleven famed. The Do.
minicans have copped six times in
succession.
Heinie Webb has gathered unto
himself a flock Of fine ballplaycrs
TO represent the Union Printers.
Ray Brengle, ninet eteen-year-Old
pitcher recruited from :he Indc.
pendents, has won two games for
the typos, who are playing both
league and independent ball.
Looking over the Mohawk Club s
scores, one might wonder IL the In
dians are still playing football. Rus.
sell Belt, business manager, declares
the tribe is we'll .rained for mara
thon races. Only one game has been
close, and Grace A. c., a strong team,
was on the short end.
Another close game can be cx-
pected when the Mohawks tackle
the Manhattans neXt Sunday, mt
Seventeenth and ID streets south
east. The Manhattans are easy for
nobody. The Indians should have
du t1ty 10 Utdt tItt
hattans, and especially should Nor
northeast team. IL would bt bat
tie worth going far to see should
Hutchinson oppose Walter Beall,
the MOhawks' ace.
The Alexandra Dreldnaughts,
who always have a winning team,
made Washington's champion club
look bad. They walloped tn, Gibral.
tars, rs to 0. or something like that.
and r. r. Allen, the manager, wants
to book other prominent local teams.
In 1920. the Dreadnaughts won
thirty five out of thirty six games.

for the northern Virginia cham.
pionship; whipped Church Hill, OF
Richmond. for the state title, md

at every game.

Teams desiring pleasant trip
down the river should arrange 10
play Fort Washington. Sergeant
Sokes, In the T.. and X. office, At
the fort, annOhnCes the soldiers
will take care Of t;ansportati ton
and other incidentaIs for visiting
teams. The soldiers are willing 10
play in Washington, too, and want
10 book leading teams for Saturday
and Sunday games.
Not much discouraged by the wal
Looping from the Droadnaughts, the
Gibraltars are looking about for
