BUSINESS OUT
Of BIC CHANCE
Stenogs Defeated in Hectic
Struggle Which May Mean
Title for Georgetown Boys.

Western must defeat Eastern in
it's next engagement to annex the
1922 baseball championship. The
Georgetown lads were crowded al
most TO the wall in Yesterdays
meeting with Business and managed,
through the use OF squeeze play to
score the winning run in a l2-to-13
game. Business. helped materially
in letting Western win and II was
anyhody's game throughout.
The Western and Business outfits
believe. evidently, In doing nothing
by halves In the engagements
twenty y.five runs were scored, twenty
hits were registered. ten errors were
bad enough TO be Chalkcd on the rec
ords. fifteen bases were stolen, the
four pitchers performing passed fif-
teen batsmen and famed seventeen.
Outside OF that there was very little
doing in the line Of baseball.
The fact that tine probable cham
pionship hung as a result Of the
meeting, had something TO do with
the ordinary playing Of the teams.
Both mines have put up much better
baseball than that on show Les.

Believe II Or Not,
But This Story
Is True

Two teams Of colored players
from Harlem engaged in
game. using blocks of wood for
bases. The Strawberries led in
the ninth inning. ! to 3. The
Razzberries had players on
first and second. The next bat
ter hit a slow grounder. The
runner on second best the throw
to third by a slide, but the third
baseman Of the Strawberries had
his foot by the side of the base.
AS his foot was longer than
the base was wide tie Razz-
berry runner could only touch
the Strawberry players foot
and not the base. The Razz-
berries claimed the runner was
safe, because the third base
mans foot interfered. and the
Strawberries asked # they
wanted his foot cut off. Be-
fore the argumen. finished it

off. The umpire resigned and

Five. their team name meaning
Just what II says. They composed
the first quint Of fair bowlers or
ganized In Washington.
And how they attracted some
attention six or eight years ago.
In q day when a woman In
bowling alley was q novelty the
pioneers drew galleries that
would rival those Of the famous
old Royal team, now long since
having shot its bolt.
Later came the Grand Central
and Recreation teams to furnish
competition for the Original Five,
but they faded in time and left
the Original Five shining alone
among the growing crop of rookie
girl bowlers.
Out Of the crop, however.
grew a team whose brillisnce sud
denly began to dim the older
stars. The Bureau girls won the
city tournament. And the battle
was on.
When the Washington Ladies'
League was reorganized this sea-
son the Original Five was re-
marked for its absence from the
list OF teams. At least one, and
perhaps other members, were too
busy to devote as much time as In
former years to bowling. They
kept in trim, though, and also kept
an eye on the Bureau team.
The Bureaus won the pennant.

soul-deep challenge to the Bureau

their contests OF this season and
go after the Bureaus with all they
possessed in tho city tournament.

entered in the tournament.
Play will start at S:l8 a. m. and will
continue until the last pair is teed
off about 2:30 p. m. Four sixteens
will be qualified for match play. The
semi-finals OF the tournament are
scheduled to start at 10 a. m. on Sat

According to the present dope bet
ter than 80 will be necessary to
qualify for the first sixteen. The
course is In exceptionally good
shape, and players who are long OF
the tee will find the going to their
liking.
Interesting pairs to go out tomor'

first sixteen are Walter X. TUCKER

single these players out as being

sixteen there is every indication
that II they are running true to
form will get in the first flight.
Chevy Chase presents consider
ably more trouble for the average
golfer than it did last season. The
course is long and the green's are
well enough trapped to make ac-
