clubs that do not participate in the

grind FOR the cage game are the
Boys Club. sponsor of four quints
Liberty Athletic Club and the Memo
rial Club. the latter being a squad
made up from the leading players Of
the Yosemite five Of last season.
The Boys Club teams will he pr-1c
tically the same combinations thal
performed on the court during the
past Winter. They are the Flashes,
winners of 66 games in the past two
seasons: the Celtics, one of the out
standing teams in the AloyS1us
tourney; the Superiors, conquerors Of
the Southend Juniors, and the Rang
ers, winners of 20 games in - starts
during heiI- first campaign.

run in Washington. Smith is great
favorite out here. The fans love the
way he rides the visiting players.
They are particularly pleased with
the way he flaps around Goose"
Goslin every time the wild flyer of
the Potomac comes to bat, and they
firmly believe if it were not for

He gets enough as it is.
But ii is seldom that such modest,
gcntlemanly player as Rice ever has
got the booinC which has been his por-
ton during this last home stand of the
series. Maybe the fans blame Umpire
Rigler. too. but they blame Rice most
of all. and they hiss and jeer and yell
''robber" at him, both at bat and in
the field.
NcInnis Wins Laurels.
When it comes time TO pass the
laurels around for the series. there
should be a large one left for the brow
of old "Stuffy' McInnis. At a time
when il looked as if the Pirates We're
not only going to be defeated but dis
graced in the series old "Stuffy" went
out there to first base taking the
place of the brilliant but inexperienced
Grantham. He seemed to work the
miracle which transformed the Pirates
suddenly from a lot of tame tabbycats
into real swashbuckling buccaneers.
\ Some of the experts said Of Bill Me
Kechnie and his team that they would
lose the series by not taking chances
that Washington would risk more and
make the breaks" for itself. 1t was
not until the score stood 3 to | against
them in games that the Pirates cut
loose. The dopeSterS seemed to have
it right.
