SANDLOT MINES.
IN CLOSE GAMES.

Some fine baseball was seen on
the sandlots, including close scores
and heavy slugging. In one Of
the feature contests the Dixie
Pigs won their third straight
game from Henry Hiser'S All-Stars
yesterday in their series for the
championship of Prince Georges
county. The Pigs have to win
only one more game in order to
be declared the winner Of the
title.
It was an excellent, hard
fought contest. Neither team
scored until the ninth inning,
then each Tailed three. The Pigs
then scored another run in the
tenth, to win, by a 4-3 count.
The All-Stars were held through
out the game to three hits.
This was only one Of the many
excellent games that were played
yesterday, unusual in sandlot
circles.
At RivertOn, Va, the Wash
ingtOn Red SOx took over the
fast and rarely beaten Front
Royal AlLStarS. After tying
the score with two runs in
the ninth inning, the Red SOx
came through with four more
in the fourteenth that gave
them . 12-8 victory.
In a Potomac Junior League
game the league-leading Colum-
bia Heights nine nosed out the
Ross jewelers., Is, though the
latter made a powerful bid for
victory in the late innings Of
the game.
In somewhat more one-sided
contests the Bluege A. c. shut
out the White HavenS, 80, Con-
gress Heights surprised Chevy
Chase, Ill. and the Takoma
Tiger Juniors turned back the
East Riverdale nine, 13-2. In
a real old-fashioned SlugfeSt the
Phoenix A. c. bagged the Ram
blers, 31-1. getting 28 hits, while
Lanham held the losers to two
harmless bingleS.

ALEXANDR|ANS
IN TITLE T|[TS

Some snappy base-running,
pitching, and fielding featured
the three games played in Alexan-
dria yesterday, in the race for the
honor of being known for year
as all-Alexandria champions.
The Nationwide GrocerS, who,
it seems, are laboring under the
influence of some jinx or other,
lost their fifth straight game
yesterday, this time to the league
leading Columbia Engine Com
pany, "a. The Colonials. the
other underdog in the league, was
defeated twice, to the Del Rays
by the score of 1O-4 and to the
Cardinals, 8-6.
The Majestics, playing in Balti-
more, split a double-header with
their old rivals, the Superior A.
c.. dropping the opener, 80, and
coming back in the night-cap, 90.
The Skinker Eagles had a sue
ceSSful weekend. On Saturday
they scored a 4-3 victory over the
Congress Heights nine. Yesterday,
they nipped Mt. Rainier's Is
game winning streak, taking them
over to the tune, of 1876.
The Washington A. c. beat the
Clinton nine, 8-5, but the Kanawha
A. c., usually team to be feared
on the diamond, could do nothing
against the White Sox, who were
victors by the score of 12-1.

When he was pounding out his
surprising 7-and-6 victory over big
Archie CompSton in the Ryder

in June, Burke was never off the

Twice within six weeks has
Martin F. Mccarthy, Beaver Dam
golfer, accomplished a feat which
no other has performed.
Opposed to Roger Peacock in
the Argyle-Beav Dam matches
yesterday, cCarthy stepped
around his home course in 70,
even par for the difficult 6,716
yards route. Peacock himself shot
76, which would have won
under ordinary conditions, yet he
fell a victim to Mccarthy by a
g and 2 count.
Six weeks ago, Mccarthy tore
around that long Beaver Dam
course in o 73 and it was the
first time that any golfer had
ever eQualed par at Beaver
Dam. Not even a pro land
Joe KirkwOOd and Tommy Ar
mOur have played Beaver DAM

Golfers of Washington and
vicinity know that Beaver Dam
is pretty tough to score on. A
76 or II on that course is con-
sidered topnotch playing. There

not familiar, had been fred by acct
dent.
Mrs. Mosby said the pistol was dis
charged when she took it from dresser
