LEAGUE

Despite the red and violet rays
of old Sol which made the bases
almost too hot for some of the
barefooted Pawnee players, the
Times Junior Baseball League
teams appeared in full force on
Washington diamonds for eXcit,
ing and perspiring horSehide tus.
SleS.
Ten innings were necessary to
decide the game between Brent
wood Market and FairlaWn in
the midget class, is to II years
Of age. So hot did the going be-
come that managers of the op-
posing teams changed pitchers
IL times.
Hits Smacked
Brentwood smacked out hits
which, with good base running,
tailed in the first inning. The
score at the end of the second
stood 3 to 3, Fairlawn having
gone on a batting spree.
From then on it was nip and
tuck, the tuck, if a terrible pun
be allowed, being for tucked in
shirt collars; hydrant water
supplied the nipS.
In the ninth neither team
scored, but in the tenth Brent
wood sneal ed over a run, winning
the game by to S. Joe Cotter
umpired. Two-baSe hit honors
went to the Fairlawns. Stevens,
Barnan and Mundell hanging up
duets, and Miller of Brentwood
cracking out it's lone two-bagger.
Another blisterer was the game
in the same class between st.
Paul's and the CrandallS, which
also went 10 innings.
Eight innings were sufficient for
the Jack Hayes to annex II runs
to the 7 chalked up by the Ma
tionals in the insect class, 13 to
Is. Umpire, Zahn. The Jack
Hayes stole four bases to five for
the Nationals.
Clarendon, in the same class,
walked away with it's game with
st. Joseph by the score of 81 to 0.
Six innings were all that was nee
esSary to decide the issue, st. Jo-
Seph retiring to cooling showers
and philoSophic recovery. They
declared the next game will be en-
tirely different and that with
cooler weather the country boys
won't have so much of a walk
away.
The Wonders and the Ana
costa Eagles had at each other
for full nine innings, the Won
ders living up to their name by
winning the argument, to 0.
Bell, pitcher for the Wonders, is
credited by Umpire Nolan with
having struck out 13. Bailey, of
the Anacostia Eagles, striking out
! and Wall 4.

the winning pitcher and Crooks
pitching for Park Lane. After
seven innings the game between
Euclid and the National Pale
Drys was called in the seventh,
the latter winning a moth-proof
baseball game by to /.
Great interest in the Colored
baseball league is reported by
Umpire Lancaster, who officiated
at two games Saturday. The
Shiels continued their winning
streak by totaling 10 runs to the
vikings 6 in a hard-fought g.
inning game. The early lead of
the Shiels. in the first; 2 in
the second and in the third,
being an insuperable obstacle.
