EXPRESS PLAY
PULLMAN IN
TERMINAL

ILuWINHL
When better games are played
the Terminal League will play
them, or in other words the Pull.
man and Express mines play to-
day at SIS o'clock on the Union
Station diamond in the feature
game OF the weekday group.
The two teams are about
the class of the GOelz-Height-
man circuit and a bitter fight
is expected, as both are more
than neck and neck in the
chase for the pennant. ItU
be McIntire against Jewett
on the mound, in all prOba-
bility.
Other games have Navy Yard
and Union Printers clashing in
the Government League, South
Ellipse; D. C. Repair Shop against
Treasury in the Departmental
League, North Ellipse; Grace Epis-
copal against Calvary Baptist,
East Ellipse; and Holmes Bakery
against Western Electric in the
industrial League, West Ellipse.
A pun about comical games
could be inserted here in regards
to the Tile Setters-Big Print Shop
setto of yesterday in the Indus
trial League. It's about how Big
Print Shop almost won but didn't
and why.
First, Pitcher Walter Hur-
ley was too good to the Tile
Settlers by laying the first ball
pitched right in the groove,
with the result that the Pa
rella managed team scored
five runs before anybody
could be retired. All this in
the second inning, after fast
dOubIe-pIay, Crockett to Ship
man to Brown, had helped
Hurley out of bad spot in
the first inning.
Then the laugh fest. Big Print
Shop got to Pitcher Licarione Of
the Tile Settlers in the fourth and,
with two runs already over the
plate, scored anot h er' when
Catcher Masters and First Base
man GarilL pulled Mack Sen
nett riot. Two we're out, with
Zip Tweedale at bat and Johnny
Davis on third base. TWeedale
topped a fast one in front of the
plate. Umps Mcclure called it
fair. Tweedale stood there, won
dering whether he should run to
first or not. Catcher Masters, in
the meantime, grabbed the ball
and stood there in a sudden daze,
wondering whether to throw TO
first or get Johnny Davis between
third and home, all while his
teammates yelled at him to touch
TWeedale for the third out, Tor
that was all he had to do.
TweedaIe finally got struck
with the idea to run towards
first base. On seeing Twee-
dale do that, Masters reeled
around, looked towards third,
made a wild stab at Twee-
dale and missed him, then
threw to first where GarilH
obliged by completely butter
lingering the throw, enabling
Davis to score from third and
TweedaIe to be safe at first.
When the laughter was over,
and even the usually stern Jumps
Mcclure doubled up, Masters was
in right field, Harrison behind the
bat and Garrilli firmly chastiSed
by his mates for dropping Mas
ters' throw.
The Tile Settlers finally won the
game, 10 to 7, but not after a
battle, as the Big Print Shop
sluggers tied the score and went
two in the van by a four-run rally
in the fifth inning. Hurley could
not hold his lead, however, for
the Tile Settlers made victory
certain by scogings four runs in
the ninth.
Johnny Davis, centerfielder for
Big Print Shop, knocked a home
run in one of that teams rallies,
but failed to touch first thereby
being deprived of a real hit. On
his next appearance to the plate,
however, he socked one in the
same direction of his would-be
homer and made a triple on it
only because he jumped on each
base as he travelled around.
