LEAD LEAGUE
IN CLOSE
i. 4r.
!. RACE

Several weeks ago the George
town Insects were just another
team in the insect division Of the
. Capital City League. Today they
are the first place holders Of the
circuit, and a strong contender
for the championship.
The National Capitals were
their greatest obstacle-until re-
Gently when that team was beaten
[ for the league lead. Now the
Georgetowners are on their way
with nothing but championship
visions their everyday talk from
dawn until dark.
The Georgetowns finished
In the runners-up position in
the insect race last year. Be-
fore starting their campaign
this season they had to al
most rebuild the whole team
rs players advanced to the
midget class and lined up
, + with the Georgetown Midgets.
i Carlton Givennetti, son Of Lem
Ovens old battery mate, Is the
star of the teaem this year. Young
Givonnetti plays second base.
Tommy Williams holds down the
short-Stop position cleverly while
Jimmy Corcoraa. takes care of
the hot corner. Bill Harris and
Ralph LomaX, pitchers, divide
first base and the mound between
them while Shorty DUNCAN, slug
ger of the team, catches.
} In the outfield are three ca
pable flyhawks in Girton, Brom-
ley and Wiles while King and
Spivok form the utility depart
ment..
In regards to Harris and
Lomax, here's a pair of twirlers
who certainly take the cake in
insect baseball. Statue holds no
handicapS for either as both throw
the ball plateward with speed,
curves and control.
LOmax is a left-hander and
for a SOuthpaw, especially in
insect SOuthpaw, pitches un.
+ usually well. Last year he
! won over half of his teams
victories.
To win a championship this
year would indeed be gratifying
to Buck Trundle. manager of the
team. Trundle has worked hard
with his boys-like the many
other managers of kid teams in
the city, and would like to see
some results from his effort. He
had them playing fast baseball to
finish second last year.
The Georgetown insects are
only one of three teams repre-.
senting Georgetown in league
competition. The Georgetown
Midgets are at present fighting
for. the Capital City Midget
League flag while the George.
town Pewees are tied with the
Lionels in that circuit.
All Is joy in the hearts of Big
Print Shop fans as that team
got a certain revenge on the
Tile Settlers in their Industrial
League game yesterday. With
Hurley pitching excellent ball
and the Tile Settlers doing every
thing wrong both at bat and
afield, the Printers romped home
with an 18-to-3 victory. scoring
is of their runs in the first three
innings. The game was the
worst the Tile Settlers have
played since the start Of the
season and marked only the Sec
or1d time they have been defeated
in either half.
=. While Wesley and BuScher
divided on the mound and
5 granted three hits, ID. G. Re-
pair Shop collected 18 bingles
to slug out a IL to 2 victory
over G. p. o. in the Depart
mental League. McClelIand,
with four out Of four, led the
hitterS.
Good relief pitching by Colon
bus Sans featured an interesting
game between the Naval Hos
pital and G. P. o. mines in the
Government League, one circuit
that offered a real game yester-
day. Naval Hospital won, 6 to 4,
but not before G.. P. o. threat
eiied to snatch the game out
Of the fire in the last three in
,, nings. Crews withered after a
good start for the GobS. Homan,
with a home run and two other
hits in four times at bat, was
the big noise for G. P. o.
