GOOD PLAYING
MARKS TIMES.
LEAGUE

baSeDau Association is beginning
to click in a very formidable
style. Games for the three past
successive Saturdays have been
tucked away and the two little
"Gods," Gloom and Joy, are
haunting the camps Of many
teams.
While the little man "Gloom"
is present among those teams that
have lost their initial games.
there is no reason to believe that
he will not be replaced by Mr..
"Joy." Don't take your losses
hard, boys. There will be some re-
versed figures in the win column
before long. Hard luck can't stick
with you forever. And neither can
good luck stay with the league
leaders, always.
Offhand, its hard to decide just
how many of the Times sandlot-
ters will 60 the full pennant chase.
Some Of the more unfortunate ag-
gregations that have not yet hit
their stride are contemplating on
dropping from the league. Don't
make any hasty decisions, boys.
Stick it out, you can never tell
when the other fellow will weaken.
Clever pitching by Donnelly,
who struck out 16 and allowed
only one safety, enabled the
Knights of Columbus to defeat the
Sam Rice outfit, in tightly played
tussle yesterday afternoon.
Eeveral passed balls and
errors permitted the Rice club
to score two runs. The final
score was to 2.
In a very loosely played en-
counter the Pontiacs bested the
Orions to the tune of Is to l.
The game was won in a rather
neat and tidy way, despite the
apparent looseness. Pontiacs
rammed out a victory that der1on-
strated to the Orions that home
runs help quite a bit. Eight
homers with no one on the sacks
prevented a lot of useless running
and confusion on the paths.
Wonder Boys Win
once again the Wonder Boys
came through with a game to
! their credit in the win column.
They trounced the Jack Hayes
club in very handy fashion. Bell,
the pitching ace of the Wonder
Boys, was as usual, in the pink OF
condition. He permitted two hits
while his team mates were col
lecting IL runs along with several
triples and doubles for a total OF
ii hits. The game was frequented
with errors.
The Nationals and the Eagles
played a "rip-snorter" for six in
ningS when the game was called.
It ended in very unsatisfactory
way.
After six innings of hard play
the score was tied, 3 to 3.
Weaver, the star pitcher for the
Eagles, was not in the lineup.
His services were missed by the
club. Weaver is on the sick list.
Bailey, another of the Eagles
pitching staff, played classy ball
by allowing three hits. Bailey
evidently is a hard hitter as we'll
as batter. For he collected two
of the three hits that Cowan, his
opponent, allowed.
Brentwood put their team in the
limelight by rendering defeat to
the Orioles in a game that fin
ished 6 to /. The game was taSt
and very tightly played except for
the fourth inning when Brentwood
pushed across four runs. Rocker,
of the Brentwood's, connected
with the horsehide three out OF
three attempts. One of these was
q triple and one a double.
Iowa Comes Through
So badly did the Iowa club ad-
minister defeat to the Curtiss team
that the latter asked to have the
game called in the fifth. Iowa
team nicked the Curtis pitcher for
% base hits and 13 runs. Chum-
bus, the Iowa pitcher, was very
tight with his hits. He weakened
to the extent of two scratch hits.
When the FairIawn team en-
teFtained the Cavaliers, the Wis
itOrs did not play as visitors
should.
They trimmed their hosts in a
Suggest, IL to 10. While both
teams scored plenty Of the stuff"
that wins ball games there were
no extra-baSe hits. The combined
efforts of both teams produced 81
hits. Numerous errors were also
responsible for many Of the runs.
