CHURCHMEN
LIABLE To
\. SURPRISE
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GARRETT WATERS
There's been q sneaky feeling
around lately that the Pullman
nine, champion Of the Terminal
league, is to be stopped in its
terrible; terrible winning streak,
which has reached % straight at
this time.
No, there has been no dirty
work, but old man law Of aver.
ages has been thinking, and
thinking overtime lately, and
when he works that hard usually
something happens.
Maybe he'll deal his ace
this afternoon in the week
day league championship
game on the Union Station
diamond 1T 4:15 o'clock.
In other words, maybe the
Pullman players will go down to
defeat to the Calvary Drake toss
ers, which team enters the cham
pionship as representatives Of the
Georgetown Church League.
Maybe nothing of the kind
will happen. Maybe it'll rain,
and then all this will have to
be put together in another idea
tomorrow or next week. But
and. with a capital B-there is
still q Sneaky feeling around that
somewhere something is going to
happen. Something to that Pull
man winning streak, which can
so on forever.
The Calvary brakes are the
team to defeat the Pullmans
ut this time IL any club can.
The Churchmen have a dark
horse array Of bali tossers
liable to spring that little sur
prise 50 characteristic of all
- championship series.
First they have a real pitcher
in Pete Bail. Second they have
another good pitcher in Ray
Davidson. Third they have a
competent infiel6 in Bozy Berger,
Johnny Demarest, Harold Har-
wood and Gene Darne, and
fourthly they have swell catcher
in Earl G. Bowman, also manager
of the team. Filthy they have
an outfield composed of Joe Hill
1eary, Judy Forest and Buck Kill
roy.
The Calvarys showed their class
this season by coming from be-
hind to cop the Georgetown
Church League banner. They
fell short badly during the first
series, but finished strongly in
the second series, also strongly to
win the league title from the
West Washington nine, first-half
winners, in a scheduled three
game set which only went two
contests.
Everyone knows what the
Churchmen have to buck up
against in the Pullman tos-
sers. Hall, ChacOnas, Col
nere, Freed, SmithSon, Booker,
ColliflOwer, Trip, Radtke
and CIapper are that teams
array and such a collection
Of players. Yet these fellows
can be beaten. SundOwn this
afternoon will tell the tale.
Yesterdays opener of the series
resulted in the Tile Settlers,
Industrial League champs, de-
feating the Capital Traction tos-
sers. Terminal Morning League
flag bearers, IL to 8.
It was a loose encounter, many
errors figuring with the Tile Set.
tiers putting the game on ice in
the third inning with a six-run
scoring bee. The redoubtahle Joe
FreSchi led in the hitting with
four bingles in as many trips to
the plate. Joe played third base
yesterday, in a revised irfield
plan arranged by Manager Harry
Parella, Of the Tile Settlers.
Manager Harry. a second
sacker ordinarily, had himself
In left field, brought Freschi
to third and shifted Ike Lii
cariOne from third base to
second. This arrangement
was made to strengthen the
infield and not take away
from the strength Of the out
filed. as Harry is not SO bad
Q gardener when it comes to
. pinch.
Frank DiNenna outshooted
them to the plate for the Tile
Settlers. He was opposed by
Lefty White the Train tosSel''s
mainstay. Had it not been for
lots of errors, both DiNenna and
Whites performances would have
looked better. White was a VIC
tim Of three errors by his
brother L. White at shortstop
during the course of the pro-
ceedings and this lone fact hurt
the big pitchers cause no little.
