H6A -
Hitting the ball hard and TAX
ing advantage Of masterful pitch
ing by Lefty" Fuller and Walter
johnson, jr., son of the manager
of the Washington Nationals,
the Wonder Bread Midgets won
a double-header from the Park
Lane team Saturday at Phoenix
Field. The double bill was just
two of several exceptional games
played over the weekend in The
Washington Times Junior Base
ball League. The Wonders won
by scores of 10 to 0 and Is to 4.
Fuller, twirling the first
game, held the Park Lane boys
hitless until the ninth inning
when Natter, the opposing box
man, zoomed a safety through
Walter johnson, who was playing
first in that fracas. Fuller re-
tired IL of the Park Laners via
the SCrlKe-OuL TouCe.
Matter was hit freely, the
Wonders garnering IA Safeties.
Each team made four errors.
F. MilIer's homer for the Won
ders was the hitting feature.
In the second game young
johnson held the Park Laners to
six hits, but these, coupled with
two errors, accounted for four
runs. The Wonders touched
Brooks for II hits.
Clarendon Insects and the
Nationals played a close game,
the former emerging victor by
80 count. c. Cowan, Nationals,
pitcher, limited the Clarendon
team to four hits. but errors by
his teammates at crucial moments
proved his undoing. Cowan famed
10 of the Virginia boys and did
not issue a walk.
The Thompson Furniture nine
which has been occupying the
top-notch position in Class B.
Division 5-6, was tumbled from
it's lofty perch by the Roy Spen-
GERS. the score being 6 to 4 in
favor of the latter. The Spencers
were outhit, 9 to 7, but made
every hit count.
The Anacostia Eagles took the
Jack Hayes Insects into camp by
a 1O-7 score in a comedy OF
errors and erratic pitching. The
Hayes players out-errored their
opponents, making four OF the
six miscues that marked the
game. Each team made Z hits
none for extra bases.
At a meeting of the protest
hoard Saturday, the game
pIayed between the Lawrence
Midgets and a team purpOrt-
ing to be the Hawks A. C."
which was won by the latter,
was thrown out and the Law
renee outfit awarded q victory
by forfeit.
The Lawrence Midgets pro
tested that the Hawks played
players not under contract ana
players who we're under contract
to other teams in the Washing,
ton Times Junior B Baseba /
League. The protest was sub
stantiated by the league records
and rules, and the protest boaro
held that the Hawks had Tor
feited the game by failing TO
have its own team on the field
Several other protests which
have been filed by team man
ayers will be considered when the
protesting teams furnish PROOF OF
their claims.

with Baltimore, in which cham-
pions of the midget and lnsecC
classes of The Times League VIII
battle Baltimore class champions
is growing steadily.

more this week with representa-.
tives of the Baltimore baseball
associations at which further
plans for the series are to be
mapped out.

pending teams that forfeit two
