BATTLE-VENGEFUL
CHEVY CHASE CLUB
Grays, Backs to Wall, Have
in Mind Defeat of 1890
for County Title.

Chase ball club that today
opposes the Takoma Tigers in
double header that has
more potentialitieS attached to 1t
perhaps than any pair Of sandlot
base ball games played in this
neck of the wood s for some time.
Memories of an uphill, but vain
struggle still will linger in the
minds of the Grays when they
square off for the opener at 1870
o'clock on their own battlefield
with the Montgomery County
League pennant once again at
stake.
Once again the Grays have their
backs against the wall, for twin VIC
tory for the Tigers will give Takoma
Park its third straight Montgomery
County League flag. while split would
spell finis to the Grays' chances albeit
still leaving the Tigers a chance to tie
for the title with Bethesda, which idles
today.
It must be two wins or none for the
Grays today, and even In that event
II will be necessary for the Grays to
take one of the tits next Sunday with
Bethesda to clinch the championship.
Although the Tigers have been de-
Tending champions for the last two
years and have set the pace during the
ma ioritv of the league season, they
showed signs of slipping last week. while
the Grays, who swamped Old Colony,
18 to 2, gave indication OF reaching
their peak. The Tigers could have
clinched the pennant last week with
double victory over Bethesda, but the
champs were stopped In both tilts-
and only hit safely eight times IN both
games!
While the Tigers were taking double
drubbing last Sunday the Grays pound
ed out "a hits against Old Colony.
1t will be a gray day for the IlgerS
if the Grays keep that pace.
Lefty Stevens probably will pitch one
game for the Grays and Ray Knight
the other
Ed Marosey will get the call for the
Tigers in one of the tits and possibly
both. He hurled a double header last
Sunday and was effective, despite the
losses and the two overtime games. In
! the first game against Bethesda ne
| allowed IA hits in 10 innings and IN
the second hits in an thinning battle.
WHILE the spotlight will be focused
| w on the Chevy Chase field today
two other games that are sure to
! attract more than the usual snare OF
| interest are carded, with independent
contenders for the District crown
clashing.
At friendship field the Skinker Eagles
! and Howard A. French tossers oppose
N'Al0 utNi AlPYAn0rla
Washington Red Sox will be entertained
by the St. Marys Celtics.
