" title for the District, following
their 10-1 victory yesterday
over st. Josephs which recently won
the unlimited section crown in the Cap

supreme in sandlot diamond circles here
for the past several seasons.
Yesterdays win over st. Joseph was
the second straight by a decisive mar
gin for Georgetown in proposed series
of three games.
Previously this season Georgetown
defeated several other outst- ndipg mines
hereabout. It now plans to end its
campaign by engaging the best club in
Baltimore and also the winner in the
Montgomery-Prince Georges County
title series now in progress.

While Manager Walter Johnson
has not definitely announced his
pitching choices for the twin bill

handler has had very disappoint-
ing season. but Johnson is conf

for one of tomorrows engagements.
Fred on Saturday registered his eight

turn in a score of wins for the cam
paign. He would get a chance to do so
If he pitches in the Philadelphia double
header, for then he would get sufficient
rest to fling against the Red Sox in the
Nationals concluding series Of the
season.
Griffs Win Four Series.
The Nationals are finishing their
campaign with triumphS over four of
their league rivals. They have series vic
tories over the Red Sox, Browns, Tigers
and White Sox The AS have beaten
them to fine fragile, and the Indians
have trimmed them soundly. The
Yanks by winning yesterday took the
annual interclub series with the Wash
ington outfit, II games to 10. That's a
pretty fair record for club that never
has been as high as the 500 mark for
the season.
Unable to solve the delivery of George
Pipgras, right-hand hurler who has
been no great shucks for the New York
ers this season, the Nationals had no
license to score win. They got only
two hits and four bases on balls of
Pipgras. One of the hits was a line
single to right field by Lloyd Brown
who did the pitching for the locals, in
the third inning, and the other was
one-baser by Joe Judge at the outset
of the ninth inning. So effective was
Pipgras that only one of the Nationals
who got on the runway during the game
managed to get beyond second base.
Brown, too. pitched very good game.
Had his club been hitting, he might
have scared to victory He allowed but
seven safeties and three walks. And
that was fine hurting against hard
hitting club as are the Yankees. But
one of the hits off Brown was Lou Geh-
rigs thirty-f1fth homer of the season,
a drive into the open stand back of left
field in the fourth frame. Two others
were doubles which paved the way to
ITALICS.
How Runs Crossed.
The first Yankee score was made in
the second session when Gehrig doubled,
advanced to third as PaSchal was re-
tired and counted after Wera's loft was
caught They sent their score total to
two IN the fourth inning when Gehrig
knocked his homer. Their last run was
registered in the ninth. Then Paschal
doubled to left and counted when Vera
shot single to the same spot. And
two were out when all this happened.

No clear-minded person can reas-
onably be pessimistic about the
Boulevard trucks affecting the rail-
road situation as long as the week
ly carloading figures disclose such
a large movement by rail of every
important class of freight, as they
have done so far this year. "Big
increases in the important commod-
ities," says the Wall Street News,
shave been shown in comparison
with the preceding week of this
year and likewise the corresponding
week of 1928 and 1927. Loading in
excess of 100000 cars week
represent a big turnover of bust
ness and freight traffic, even when
allowance is made for the increase
in demand resulting from normal
growth in population
"For the week ended April q an
increase in coal Of nearly 10000
cars in comparison with the previ-
Gus week and of more than 10000
in comparison with the correspond
ing week of last year, and a jump
of practically $4,000 cars in ore
over the previous week and of 40,-
600 over last year were the out
standing features, SO far as big
gains in individual commodities are
concerned.
"The fact that 5000 more cars of
livestock were handled than in the
previous week, and 1,170 more than
in 1928, and that forest products
were up 5000 and 1900 cars, re-
spectively, in comparison with the
two periods, should not be over
looked. The movement of both of
these classifcations has been rather
slow for some time. The larger
movement of forest products re-
fleets better conditions in the build
ing trade. The gain in coal is part
ly due to an absence of labor diff
ficulties in the coal fields of the
Central West. The notably large
expansion in the movement of ore
furnishes additional evidence of the
unusual degree of activity in the
iron and steel trades"
