The andlotters had a real day
Of it yesterday. Games Of both
the good and bad sort were
played with several teams in
league competition drawing away
from their opponents to establish
comfortable leads while others In
independent ranks bettered their
records with hard-earned vic
tories. Good pitching was done
in spots but on the whole, batting
and 'ots of it's was the rule.
An excellent pitching per-
fOrmance was turned in by
Lefty Hamilton of the st.
Mary's CeItics when that
team defeated the Red SOx,
3 to 2 at Baggett's Stadium,
Alexandria. Hamilton allowed
but two hits while the Gel.
tics gathered six off OF
Booker, two of which were
hOmers by Ludlow and Zim-
norman, which won the
game.
Another good pitching bit was
done by Blackie Elwood, Of the
Northerns who stopped the
Union Printers, 4 to in a game
which makes the NorthernS
record read eight straight. Rouda-
bush was the Northerns victim.
Eddie Helm and George Francis
hurled the Silver Spring Giants
to twin victories over the Tank
School Corp Of Camp Meade, TO
2 and S to 4. The Giants fielded
well and hit timely behind these
murders to make their victories
even more pleasing to the emerge
tic Brooke Grubb. manager OF the
team. The Giants play at Col
lege Park today and Manager
Grubb requests all players meet
at Vic'S Sport Shop at 3 o'clock
for the game.

The SakS nine gathered
but four hits but made them

The st. Josephs and Mohawks
scored their second consecutive
victories in the District unlimited
section of the Capitay City
League, defeating the Army Medi-
cos and Skinker Eagles by the
scores of 10 to 2 and 9 to 4 re-
spectively. The two teams are
now tied for first place. An
early lead won for the st. Joes
with Snyder coasting to victory
while Deutermann, with the eX-
ception Of one bad inning, hurled
well for the Mohawks over the
Eagles.

found the Anacostia Eagles and
woodmen of the World turning in
their first victories Of the Sche-
dule making their debut against
the Foxalls, II to 10 and Colum-
bia Heights, 10 to 4. Heavy hit
ting did the trick in both
instances for the winning teams.
Mt. Rainier pulled a surprise
IN the Prince Georges County
Leauge in deciSively defeating
Bowie. last years champions, 6
to 4. A five-run rally in the first
inning took everything out Of
the Bowie tossers in this game.
The Dixie Pigs and Hyattsville
stars continued to win by nosing
out the Brentwood Hawks and
Berwyns, 4-3 and 81 respectively,
thereby continuing to deadlock
for the league leadership with
two wins in as many starts.
Babe CIapper bested Tack
EnSOr in a pitching duel in
the Dixie-Hawk game while
Tom Mudd Outpitched Frank
Giddings in the Hyattsville-
Berwyn SettO. This latter con-
test was in the nature Of a
neighbOrhOOd revival of a RI
valry which has been on the
books for many years be-
tween the two teams.
The Takoma Tigers went into
undisputed possession of the
Montgomery County League when
they outSlugged the Chevy Chase
Grays, II to 7 on the latter's
diamond. The two teams were
tied for the top rung before yes
terday'S game. Although Johnny
Pope got credit for the victory,
Andy Oehmann came to the res
cue in the seventh to stop a
Chevy Chase batting rally after
it had advanced to dangerous
proportions.
The Tigers collected 10 hits off
Of Duvall with HeSSler leading
with four hits, including two
triples, and Wilson. with three
bingles, one of which was a
