There was f1ashy fielding yesterday

a great play on Cramer's bunt in the
third . and in the sixth rushed to
the front of the Mack dugout for
Coleman's foul a truly remarka-

look foolish in the third when the

chucked one outside that James

a mile for third strike.
In the fourth the AS again dou-
bled with hits Coleman singled
and so did McNair with only one re-

pickup in front Of the plate to get
Berry and Schultz Tore in for q
shoetop grab of Cascarella's liner
Cascarella was in fine fettle in the
fifth struck out Harris and
Whitehill both swinging :. and
Bluege's best was an easy loft to the
center fielder.
Umpire Dinneen guessed wrong in
the seventh and had his decision
reversed by Chief Umpire Kolls . .
Whitehill clearly beat out bunt to-

CULPEPER NEARING
PENNANT TRIUMPH
Needs Only Even Break to Gain
at Least Tie for Title in
Valley League.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TTARRISONBURG, Va, August
i i 1s. - Although Harrisonburg
cleaned up over the week end,
defeating Charlottesville and Wood
stock, the Culpeper league leaders re-
tain observation-disclosures lead over
the 1888 champions in the Valley
League.
Harrisonburg and Culpeper have
two more games with each other but
even should Harrisonburg spring a
surprise and take both contests it
would have to depend on help from
the other clubs to even tie for the
lead.
Culpeper was at a standstill during
the last week. The leaders were held
to a tie in IA innings by Charlottes-
vile and the Harrisonburg game was
rained out
The league leaders need only to
break even their remaining games
to assure themselves Of at least q
tie. They would have to drop four
contests which Is very unlikely with
the type of hurting produced by Wal
ter Beall and Lefty Mcintyre.
Unless some of the postponed
games are showed in, the schedule
for the Valley League this week fol-
lows:
Wednesday-Woodstock at Char
lottesville.
Thursday-woodstock at Culpeper.
Saturday-Woodsto at Harrison
burg.
Sunday-Charlottesville at Harri-

Somewhere in that tired gang may
be spotted several fellows who'll ster
a little slower than the others and
strangely enough, they'll be the fastest
runners of the squad, taking them al
scratch and before the workout.
Sheer Speed Required.
TN BRIEF, this means that the fast
est ball carriers in Jim Pixlee's
grid army this Fall are due fol
eXacting tests, for among them must
be found successor to the feet Mig
McCarver, whose speed has helped
G. w. to many touchdowns in the last
two years McCarver has finished his
service for the Buff and Blue, leaving
a hole in the attack which may prove
exceedingly hard to fill.
G. WIS attack, based on the half
punt formation, with one back start
ing from about yards behind the
scrimmage line, requires runner who
possesses not only sheer speed, but the
ability to flash his speed from the
very start. A runner who doesn't
reach full stride until past the scrim-
mage line does not fully qualify for
this tail-back position, but McCarver
had the stuffa az, did Johnny Fenlon
before him-greased lightning that
struck with the snap of the ball.
Reeves May Be the Man.
4 LTHOUGH yet too early to de-
n termine who's who in the Colo
nial backfield, some observers
are predicting that G.. w. will find
what it needs in Herb Reeves, who
starred with the frosh last year. This
6-foot-1, 190-pounder gave the var
sity many headaches when he ripped
his way past tackles and ends with
the speed Of a sprinter. 1t was
Reeves knack Of getting started fast
that contributed largely to his ef-
fectiveness, and those who watched
him closely as yearling feel certain
he'll blast his way into the varsity
picture at the outset of training ac-
tivitieS.
But as far as the Colonial coaches
see things, the entire back1eld con-
tingent must undergo a series Of speed
tests as soon as the camp opens. Sc
Reeves will be only one of several
who'll just about drag himself of the
field three weeks from today.
