League Standing

The Washington baseball team,
1926 champion club of the Rotary
Boys Baseball league, started off the
season yesterday by swapping the
Smith team in one of the games
played at Walnut Hill park. The
| Washington crew will be strong
contender for the championship
again this year from appearances of
yesterdays game. In the other game
played, the Y. M. C. A. team showed
much power in defeating the Bart
lett team.
Champions Win
The Washington baseball team,
working behind the excellent pitch
ing of Tuczkowski. hoped off with
a win over Smith by the score of IL
to in their chase for the pennant
this year. The winners hit timely and
executed several snappy plays in the
field. The players on the team
showed the form that brought them
the pennant last year and at the
rate they travelled yesterday, they
will be in the thick of the fight again
this season.
Each team got six hits but the
Washingtons made the most of their
Lingles. Misplays by the Smith team
aided the team greatly in its victory
1t was in the first five innings that
the winners showed their best cards
The Smith team became dangerous
in the eighth but their rally was cut
short by Tuczkowski who steadied
down and retired the side.
| This was the only inning in which
the Washington twirler 81 owed any
signs of weakness. In the other in
nings. he breezed his fast ones past
the Smith batters and mixed up his
curves in good style. He struck out
nine batters. Argosy, Smith twirler.
was wild and gave 10 free tickets to
first base. He struck out seven.
The Washington team went on a
hitting spree in the fifth. -Four
singles paved the way for the scor-
ing of seven runs. The first runs
were made by Washington in the
second when they got two. Two
walks and long single by Tucz-
kowski gave them lead. Smith
came back in the third to score q
run without a hit. Lynch was walk
ed, went to second on wild pitch
and came in on an infleld error.
| Thirteen batsmen stepped to the
plate in the fatal fifth and all the
runs were scored with two out. An
error and two successive walks filled
the bases. A long single scored two
runs and again the sacks became
loaded. Three times with the bases
filled, batter hit one on the nose
Anderson here took up the pitch
ing burden for Smith ana he worked
nicely, holding the winners without
a hit and scoreless. Sapko was the
big hitter for the Washingtons with
Lynch doing good work for Smith
