Programmed as a ball game
the nine innings turned
out to be a show with the
19-year-Old Ethel Condor the
featured star. Ethel hurled
the entire game and cleverly
turned back the Giants in
the later innings when they
really wanted to win and
tried but couldn't.
Prior to that time hits galore
sounded off Giant bats with
Grubb yelling to his players to
get out to make an interesting
game. And when the girls staged
a batting rally to tie the score.
and mainly through Grubb'S gal
liant tactics of letting the hits
roll far and wide into the out
field, and pitching easily, this
clever Condor girl pitched herself
to victory admidSt roar OF ap-
proval and praise by the Specta'
tors.
The girls knocked Ernie Elliott
and George Francis out OF the box
during their batting rally, Grubb
bringing himself to the mound to
finish the game. Trying to be gal
liant, but being caught in the
stretch, Grubb is silently kicking
himself today as he certainly did
want to win.

today after games of yesterday
where laurels were gained or lost
as the case may be. Several sur
prises inserted themselves in the
large day and these in league
play, while the independent teams
had their ins and outs in true
sandlot form.
The st. Josephs, considered the
strongest team in the Capital City
League, and last years champion
of the District unlimited section,
dropped a 12-to-4 decision to the
Burroughs Athletic Club in one OF
the major surprises OF the day.
The Saints were just off
against Ed Bladen, who grant
ed bat seven hits, struck out
seven and otherwise pitched
cleverIy while the Burroughs
players collected 10 singles off
of three pitchers-L cary,
Frager and Farrell. Joe NOyes,
with four hits, led the attack,
hitting tow triples and two
h0merS.
Another upset occurred when
the Takoma Tigers. leaders in the
Montgomery County section, fell
before the Bethesda Firemen,
last-place club, 9 to 4. 1t was
Just q case of the Tigers being
off too, and F'risby in fine fettle,
as the Bethesda pitcher breezed
through his nine innings with
plenty to spare. He allowed six
hits and Hatcher, ShortStop, got
three of these, one a triple.
A three-cornered tie for first
place resulted by virtue of the
Tigers loss as the Chevy Chase
Gray and Rockville mines won in
their games against the Kensing-
ton Firemen and Colonials re-
spectively.
The Virginia race frightened as
the WoodlaWn A. C. came
through with a lis victory over
Ballston, thereby deadlocking the
two teams for second place hon.
ors. The Jefferson Firemen. idle
yesterday, still lead, but only by
half a game. The BauSermanS
gained a forfeit over Cherrydale.
The Dixie Pigs lead the
pack by virtue of their 20
to rout of the HyattSviIIe
Stars, in the Prince Georges
League. One-Sided games were
the rule here with the Brent
wood Hawks dropping a Is to
l tilt to Mt. Rainier and Ber-
wyn Outslugging Bowie, Is
to 8.
The senior race is little un-
changed as the CurtinS,. Ohm
kteads and C. A. O'Briens were
returned victorious. The Curtins
and OlmSteads are fighting it
out for first place in section A,
being deadlocked while the C. A.
O'Briens have the section B lead
all to themselves. The Curtins de-
feated Majestic Radio, 8-3; the
Olmsteads routed the Pierce, IA
to while O'Briens SWamped the
Centennials, % to 5.
The Arlingtons and st. Steph
ems remain undefeated in the
Junior League. Both teams added
victories which keeps their per-
feet percentage intact. The
Lionels fell before the Arlingtons.
8 to 4, while the Bethesda Jun
TORS lost to the st. Stephens.
9 to 4.
The Sam Vests made it two
straight in the Midget League by
defeating the Hurchman nine, IL
to 10. The Georgetown MidgetS
nosed out the Senators, 0 to
in the other game of this sec
ton. Late batting rallies were
feature of both contests. The
Vests hold the lead now with two
