Before the Harlem team start
ed action in the city series, il
had lost only one game. But the
Georgetown club found the series
far rougher travelling than indie
pendent competition out Of it
The Shamrocks smothered the
Harlems under a food Of runs
Then the Dominican Lyceu1n
team, starting it's third campaign
in the annual series, duplicated
the Shamrocks' feat.
The Dominicans rise steadily II
the estimate Of fans. It has beer
said that the DomInicans were shy
hitting strength. But 1t seemed fal
from so in the Harlem game II
which the Dominicans piled up
total of eighteen bingles, many
extra basers, and scored eleven runs
to the Harlem's two.
In thinking the DOminicans
lacked power at bat, the dOpesters
must have had strongly in mind
the Dominican team Of 1922. 1t
IL a much strengthened team this
year.
Paul Mudd has cast his lot with
the Dominicans. The Georgetown
University outfielder was entered by
St. Teresa also, but he chose to
play his first game with the Domini'
cans and il now ineligible to play
with any other team.
BY Mudd's decision, Dominican
Lyceum gains an excellent player
and st. Teresa Is weakened. Another
leading southwest club, Mercury
receives the unfortunate end of q
deal, with Charley Barnhart, second
sacker, as the principal. Barnhart
was depended on to play second for
Mercury, but started in the series
with the Waverly Seniors.
Epiphany suddenly has gained
the attention of every team in the
Junior class. 1t was something Of
q shock when Epiphany set down
the champion Waverly juniors
and it was no mean feat to de.
feat the Shamrock Juniors, which
Epiphany did, to 8.
st. Joseph's is stepping fast In
Section G of the unlimited class,
now having won two straight, with
the Comforters and O'Donnells as
victims. The latter were trimmed,
II to Z.
The Mohawk Props are displaying
mach mere snap and ginger than
they did last year in the series.
First, st. Teresa was hammered
down by the Props. Now they lead
Section A of the senior class with
two victories, having beaten Plaza,
16 to 3.
Perch COrneTl's poisoned finger
evidently has recovered. Plaza
was able to hit his shoots safely
only twice In an elght-inning
game.
The Warwick A. G.. moves fast in
Section A Of the junior class, beat.
Ing the young Wintons, Is to IL.
Warwicks scored seven times in the
last inning and the Wintons got
six runs.
The Warwick Props fell hard be-
fore the Tremonts, 20 to 4, in the
junior class.
Because Of the death OF Chester
Crawford, a member of the Milan
Club, it was necessary to transfer
on short notice from the Milan field
the game between Century and
Stanley in the senior class. Accord.
ing to the Stanley manager, he was
unable to notify all his PLAYERS and
some went to the Milan field.
II was the umpire's duty to for.
felt the game, but Stanley will be
given hearing ON the matter by
the SandlOt commission, which
realizes the predicament that the
team may have been in due to the
necessarily short notice of a
change in playing fields.
