REPUBLICANS WIN
 IN JUNIOR LOOP
Smother Washingtons Under a
 15 to 8 Score in Contest
League Standing

Aided by the splendid relief pitch ing of Trusk, who let the Washing ton team down without a run and with only one hit for four and one third innings, the Republicans scored IS to 8 victory over their Polish rivals in a Junior City Baseball league engagement at Walnut Hill park last night. The twirling of the Republicans relief hurler was the only bright spot in a rather dull baseball game.
 Both outfits gave a sloppy exhibi- tion of fielding and only one player, | C. Perzan, the winners third base man, seemed to have a fairly clear idea of the finer points of the great national pastime. He gave finished 1 exhibition around the dizzy corner, | having seven pretty assists and a putout. Like some of his teammates | and the greater portion of his op ponents. he was not immune to missing them and he unused up one of the nine chances that came his way.
 The winners took advantage of several Washington misplays in the l fifth inning to put the game in the bag. Before R. Defranzo was rushed l in the game in a relief role, the Re- publicans had pushed four tallies across the plate and another pair was added before they were retired.
 The Washington club was the first to break into the scoring column, pushing over a lone counter in the second on a single, a fielder's choice and a Republican bobble. Sngle tallies were added by the losers in the next two sessions but the win ners erased d tWo-run lead in the last half of the second when they tallied on three occasions, with the aid of only one hit, a triple by Kos ! tello.
 The winners helped themselves to a quartet Of runs and substantial lead in the fourth session without base hit being scored, J. Gerent developed a sudden streak of wild ness in this canto and before he had retired his opponents. four runs had been added to the winners total. Washington made it's one bid for victory in the fifth and lambasted the offerings of Chorjnicki to all corners Five hits in a row were registered off the Republican hurl- CTS delivery before a single Wash ingtonian was retired. Kostello's boot at short allowed the fifth bat ter to count and knot the score at eight all This was a signal for Chorjnickis departure and with d man on third, Trusk, who relieved his faltering teammate, retired the side without further damage Dur | ing the remainder of the game, Trusk turned back the losing conl- bination in order with the eXcep- tion of the eighth when J. Gerent, second man up, pounded a single into right. He got around to third but died there.
 | The winners made the most pro- fitable rally in the last half of the fifth and closed their scoring in the eighth with a single run.
 Although they were victorious, the | Republicans were outhit 10 to [ during the game. Wildness anl poor work atield caused the down fall of the Washington crew. A brother battery, P. and A. Defranzo worked the last five innings for the losers.
