In one of the closest battles fought so far this season in the league, the Washington team. last years Rotary champion crew. through ninth in- ming rally netting two runs. nosed out the threatening Smith nine by a to 5 score. Up to the last frame, with the Washington team batting first. the score had remained at S-all
 The two pitchers, Anderson, port sider, for the Smith team and Esmail for Washington, engaged in a pretty duel for the greater part of the game and although their support at times was cratic. in the pinches, their mates gave them good backing.
 It was Anderson's own wildness that cost him a victory. He had been getting out of hole after hole all during the game but in the ninth. with the. first two men away, he walked the next two and then. with three and two on Solomon, he pu a fast one down the center and Solo, mon crashed out a triple. This gave the Washington team five to three for Smith and ultimately resulted in win for the champions. Smith go7 men on third and second with none cut but they failed to score.
 Esmail on the slab for the win- ners, was also in excellent form and he had better control than his op- ponent. He allowed only two hits during the game while Anderson was touched up for seven. Anderson famed 14 batters but he walked ID !ilc Esmail struck out Il and passed only five.
 Solomon proved 10 be the timely hitter for the winners while Albanese and Benusis were the only ones to crack out sateties of of Esmail.

 The importance of the short game must have impressed every golfer. An instance of it's stroke reducing features last week grooved the ide: in my mind.
 l was member of q foursome at Shuttle Meadow when one of the players shot a 73. He played each of the first nine holes in par, but to do so he had to chip dead to tn" pin on five holes, to make up for in- accurate approaches.
 These chip shots varied from 30 to 75 feet. One was played out of q brook and another over a trap. out of long grass. Each time the ball came to stop, within two feet ot the cup.
 The other greens called for good putting. The mans failure 70 do no better than d 36 on the second Line was due to poor putting on two greens.
 The player in question is flr from being a top notch golfer but when he practices, it is with his iroas and butter.
