Growing from a dim spark in the
early part OF the season, the Whining
ton Gas Company baseball nine has
steadily added lustre to its name.
until at the present writing it is one of
the shining consultations OF national
pastimers in the Industrial League.
and bids fair to eclipse all other teams
In the local baseball armament.
Although followed by ink in the
first half of the season, the Gas team
finally managed 70 shake the bad
luck signs in the current half and has
given creditable account of itself to
date. having record OF four victories
and but one defeat. This latter passed
to Trump Bros. by the narrow margin
OF 80.
Trump Bros. are at present leading
the league with the Gas Co., close
after. A margin of one game separ-
ates the two teams and should Trump
slip 4 cog In any of It's remaining
games 1t will Undoubtedly tie with the
6asmen, who are slated to win their
two remaining contests.
The biggest card in the gasmen's
deck was their defeat Of tho speedy
Pennsy nine, which by reason OF Its
FIRST half Performance was considered
to be inv1ncible.
The Light Makers have an able pilot
in the person of Dave" Zearfoss. who
will be remembered by many OF the
old timers as one Of the best catchers
ever turned out here.
He started his career with Washing
ton College at Chestertown in 1894
and 1895. going from there TO the New
York Nationals. where he remained
during the seasons of 1S96-7-S. In 1899
he was with Minneapolis in the wes-
tern League. and IN 1900 played with
Toronto and Newark. 1901 found him
in Tacoma. Wash, and the next wear
he was with Butte, Mont. San Fran
cisco Of the Coast League claimed him
in 1908, while during 1904-5 he pas
timed with the 81. Louis Nationals
The next three years he played with
