D. c. NINE IN
REGIONAL
FINALS


The chances for Washington
having a team in the fight for
the American Legion series
Eastern championship, which
opens in Griffith stadium next
Wednesday among seven reg
ional winners, appears quite
bright.
Today, George Washington Post,
local champions, is playing Union
town, Pa. for the regional cham
pionship in No. 10 district in Phila-
delphia, and, IL success crowns their
efforts. they will. be right in the
thick Of the battle for the right to
represent the East in the junior
world series against the Western
winner in Louisville, KY, Septeni-
Der 8. 4, and 3.
Everett Russell pitched George
Washington Post into the regional
finals by fine performance against
Morgantown, w. Va, champs OF
that State, yesterday. The score
was IL to 8, and Russell had his
opponents we'll in hand throughout.
The local lads fielded faultlessly
and hit timely behind Russel's
steady huring. A three-run attack
in the opening frame gave the d.
C. boys confidence and they played
in inspired fashion, gathering single
runs in all frames but the fourth,
fifth, and sixth. In the fourth and
sixth they were BANKED, but. in be-
tween, they tailed another cluster
of three runs. Lefty James George
with three hits, one double, aid
Paul Mostown and Russell were the
leading hitters.
One Of the hottest sandlOt
games Of the year should take
place Sunday when the crack.
young Washington Red Sex
tackle the Georgetown A. G.
nine on Friendship Field at
o'clock. The latter are laying
claim to the District title again
this wear, while the red-hOse
lads have a, fine team and an
excellent record.
Just by way of getting in trim
for the Georgetowners, the Red
Sox defeated the Union Printers
last evening before a large crowd,
2 to s. Home runs had much to dc
with the victory, one by Bill
Jenkins and another by Jess Bowie
keeping the Red Sox within strik-
I ing distance until the sixth when
Booker, Sox shortstop. slugged home
a. mate ahead of him with another
circuit waIlop that put the game on
the win side of the Sax ledger.
After 81 scoreless innings Lefty
Reginald Brown was touched for a
run by the Typos in the first frame.
Brown was unsteady and was re-
lieved by Sines, who was the win,
ming pitcher. after Iolbrook dit
him for homer in the fifth to
put the Printers a run in the lead.
Hutchinson and Simons also hit
homers for the Typos. SimOns
pitched the first five frames for
the Printers and was relieved by
Roudabush starting the sixth. The
latter was the losing pitcher when
Booker did his stuff.
The Red Sox have won As OF so
games this year and if they beat
the Georgetown A. c. Sunday will
have good claim to the District
championship. Their team is an
aggressive one and hustles all the
way. In Brown they have a sweet
left handler when he is right, and
Sines Is a good looking right handler.
Jess Bowie is classy first sacker,
one of the flashiest fielders in these
parts and good sticker. And the
rest of the team is well.balanced.
Manager Frank CinOtti. of the
St. JOsephs is bit perturbed
by Manager Bill Flester's claim
Of the District championship for
the Georgetown A. G. In fact,
Manager CinOtti thinks F1ester's
team isn't quite as good as his
own. To back up this belief
he is more than anxious that the
two teams meet on the baseball
diamond to settle their differ.
ence of opinion.
The Diamond Cabmen nosed out
the Isherwoods last evening, 8 to z.
and tomorrow will meet the Hess
A. c. and the Del Ray A. C. Sun
day. The Phoenix A. C. nine is to
play the Ross A. C. Sunday at 8
o'clock on the Holbrook and Neal
Street diamond All Phoenix play
ers are urged to be on the field at
2:30 o'clock.
