Yesterday two high class ball
games we're witnessed in the
play-off series of the Industrial
and the Georgetown Church
leagues. The Dixie Pigs nosed
out the Washington Construc-
tioneers, to 2, and the Mounts
blanked the Eldbrooke Churchers,
3 to 0.
More than 5000 rabid fans
saw the Pig-Constructioneer game
on the East Ellipse. They saw
an interesting pitching duel be-
tween Adgie Adair, of the Pigs,
and Jim Murphy, of the Construc-
tionee1s.
Allows Only 6 Hits
Adair allowed six hits and his
worthy opponent permitted but
five hits. Many who saw the
game say that Murphy lost his
own game. Roberts, left fielder
of the Pigs, Smacked a torrid
bounder between the pitchers box
and shortstop and Murphy at
tempted to handle the oval bare
handed but fumbled it, allowing
Babe Clapper, who had walked
and stole second, to score the
winning marker.
The Dixie Pigs scored two runs
in the initial frame on three
hits, but didn't hold the lead
long, as the Constructioneer
punched two counters in the
third inning and everything went
well until the fatal sixth. The
second contest of the series will
be played tomorrow on the same
field.
Russell Wins Own Game
"Ev" Russell. former all-round
star at Tech High, won the old
ball game for the Mount Vernon
Churchers. He not only pitched
excellent ball but his home run
with two mates lodged on the
paths in the fourth inning,
scored the total of runs made
by his team. Russell issued
but three scattered bingles. Car
ter and Schneider hurled for the
losers. The second game of this
series will also be contested to-
morrow.
Government Printing Office
plays the Investigation on the
South Ellipse at 5 o'clock today
and Commerce battles the Agri-
culture "Aggies" at the same
hour on the North Ellipse in
the Departmental loop. The G..
P. O.-Sleuth game should be
worth seeing, as the Printers won
the first crown and the Sleuths
are leading in the second-half
series.

HURST DOWNS
PARK J|NX

For five seasons Don Hurst, of
the Phillies, has given promise
of becoming one of the sluggers
of the game. Philadelphia fans
had about given up hope of Hurst
ever reaching the peak, as had
been expected, but this year he
has fooled the observers and the
fans. Hurst never had confidence
in himself until this season.
The small park at Philadelphia
was his jinx, he used to say.
Often he expressed the opinion
that if he could bat all season in
other parks he would be a $50
hitter. He said there was some
thing wrong in Baker Bowl. This
mental kink almost cost him his
job with the Phils, for it was
about decided that Don would
have to do or be done. He was
on trial this year, and certainly
when one sees him at the head
of the league in batting, one
realizes that his so-called Baker
Bowl jinx has not been working
against him this season.
