BEAT PRATT
TEAM

88 - -
The Anacostia Eagles gained
yesterday what they have worked
hard for all seaSon-the lead In
the District unlimited section Of
the Capitol City League-by de-
feating the Burroughs A. c., ID
to 8.
However, they were helped no
little by the st. Josepf1s who &C
commodatingly whipped the Co
lumbia Heights Tossers, 8 to 8
in q hectic game. thereby pulling
the Heights club from the top,
the position that team has held
since early June.
It could be said that yester-
days st. Joe victory was most
satisfying to Frank Cinotti and his
boys as we'll rs the Anacostia
Eagles, as it was the Heights
which dropped the st. Josephs
from the lead in q former game
between the two teams.
The Eagles, by the new
turn Of affairs, are now the
heavy favOrites to cop the
District banner, which, Incl
dentally, will no doubt be de-
cided next Sunday when they
and the Columbia Heights
TOsserS meet.
The race in the Prince Georges
county section never will be de-
cided,. so it seems. Mt. Rainier,
leader most of the way, and
virtual favorite to win the cham
pionship, lost again yesterday,
thereby falling into a tie with the
Dixie Pigs for the lead.
HyattSville was the Mount
Rainier obstacle yesterday. The
Hiser.managed club won and won
with a terrible vengeance, Ia
turning in a 14-to-1 victory. The
game was a re-play Of one pro-
tested and won by the Mounts
earlier in the season. Unless a
tie contest results the champion
ship Of the section will be decided
next Sunday when the Mounts
play the Dixie Pigs on diamond
to be announced.
The senior title was decided
once and for all when the c. A.
O'Brien nine nosed out the Olrl-
sted Grill Club, S to 4. This
game was one of the hardest
fought in the senior class this
season and was not decislvely
decided until the last man was
out in the ninth inning.
Johnny WileS, manager
and pitcher Of the O'BrienS,
won over Lefty Lewis Of the
Olmsteds In . tOrrid mound
duel. Wiles granted three
hits while Lewis was cOmbed
for five. Manager Burt Ohm
Sted had q chance to protest
the game on an umpire's de-
CiSiOn but refused to do so,
thereby becoming the unsung
hero Of the day.
The Acme Juniors drew first
blood in the Junior series by de
feating the Lionels, 8 to J.. a
five-run scoring bee in the sixth
inning won for the Acmes. The
two teams will play next Sunday
In the second contest OF the

which found local teams out OF
