City and SUBURBS In a Gaze yeSIeIuaS'
All dogs, even underdogs, have their
day, and yesterday was it.
The Columbia Heights Business Mems
team, in losing to the Woodmen of the
World, to Q, lost a golden chance to
clinch matters in the District section OF
| the Capital City League, as st. Joseph,
| the defending champion, also became q
victim of a doormat's uprising when
the Anacostia Eagles downed the
| Saints, 1915.
In upsetting the st. Joes, the Eagles,
| by the same token, gave warning that
| they are still in the race. The Anacos-
| tians are now in second place, one and
a half games behind Columbia Heights.
Perhaps the biggest upset of the day
was that of the Burroughs A. G. by the
Army Medicos, though as neither team
| is high in the running, 1t was more or
| less overlooked.
The Brookland boys, who started the
season like a house afire only to slump,
we're looked upon as favorites to beat
| the Medicos, but pitcher by the name
| of Augustus Wood did his bit toward
making ''underdog day. a big success.
| Wood held the smuggling Burroughs to
| one hit, single by McMullen in the
| seventh inning, while his mates rang
up 18 bingles, II to o..
The Takoma Tigers, who were coast
| ing along to the title in the Montgom-
| cry County race, lost to the Bethesda
Firemen, IL to 9, in another decided
surprise. In losing, the Tigers, who are
tied with Chevy Chase, which also won
over the Kensington Smoke-Eaters, 16
| to /, face an ultimate play-of for the
championships, as both leaders have only
one more game and both are expected
to come through.
The Georgetown Insects pulled sur
| prise victory over the hitherto invincible
| Wonder Boys in the first game of the
| play-off series for the Capital City
League Insect championship. A 4-run
rally in the sixth inning. started by a
| home run by Mickey Harris, spelled
fms to the Wonders. The score was
4 to 2.
| Saks Clothiers, after taking hand
some licking from the st. Mary's Celtics
recently, after running up a 16-game
| winning streak, upset Olmsted Grill, one
of the strongest senior teams in the city.
| Triples by Guyer and Luckett gave the
Clothiers 3-to-o win.
Buck Grier's Northern Fed Birds, fol-
]
| A. c., stamped themselves laS the leading
unlimited club hereabout' and loom as
sure-fire successors to thu Georgetown
ers as District champiork Lefty Nc
Intyre and Eddie Collif1oJer hooked up
| in a pitching duel WITCH found Nc
Intyre having the better of it.
The Red Birds can base their claim
to the title with victories over the ST.
Mary's Celtics, Union Printers, French
I &c u nI Il
other outstanding teams in the metro
| politan area.
| Buck Grier, however, confident OF his
teams ability, is willing to meet any OF
the strong clubs who have not playec
, the Northerns more than once.
The Washington Red Sox, in winning
| over the Silver Spring Giants. 10-4.
| flashed impressively. and by virtue Of
| this victory rank as one of the strongest
clubs in this vicinity.
The Prince Georges County leaders ran
true to form, with Mount Rainier and
| Dixie Pigs hanging up victories, the
former downing Brentwood Hawks, IL
to /, and the latter coming out on the
long end of 14-11 count over Hyatts-
| VILE
/ In counting over Hyattsville the
| Pigs virtually eliminated HiSer's club,
but face hard struggle themselves if
| they mean to overtake George Nose
dale's flying Rainierites.
| Lionel Juniors maintained their place
at the top of the heap in the Capital
| City League Junior race with So win
over the Acmes, first half winners. The
| improved Clifton BARRIERS dealt Be-
thesda a stunning jolt in 9-to-6 vic
| tory and kept the latter team from
| going into a first place tie with the
! IiOnelS.
Wesley Mcdonald hurled the Skinker
Eagles to their eighth straight victory
when the Vienna Ffremen bit the dust,

Mount Rainier Juniors, after taking
| two on the nose from the Cardinals
| this season. turned the tables with a
| 10-to-8 victory.
