Friday afternoon at / o'clock
the local Union Printers baseball
team leaves this fair city of ours
to defend it's championship in the
annual Union Printers baseball
tournament at Chicago.
For the past two years the Capi.
tai TypeSetterS have walked off
with the crown, but this year, &C.
cording to information reaching
this department, the Washing
tonianS will face the strongest op-
position in the tournament in
many moons.
New York, Cincinnati and Balti-
more boast the strongest teams in
their history. Somehow the fore
casted strength of the opposition
never frightenS the warriors repre-
senting our band. They play their
best ball in the tournament, and
their fine SportSmanShip has
gained them hosts of friends in
every city where the tournament
has been conducted.

ington is noted for throughout the

the tournament.
Hands Full Today
Today the Union Printers will
have their full strength available
when they meet the improved
Miller Furniture nine in the In
duStrial League at S o'clock on
the Ellipse.
Heurich Brewers moved up an
other notch in their drive for the
second half pennant in Section
A of National City League, by de-
feating the Blue Flames, last
years champions, IA to 5. The
Brewers have won four games
and dropped none.
Pounding the shoots of Stump"

hits, the Beermen scored almost
at will. Their big inning, how
ever, was the eighth when they
scored seven runs. Arthur "Otts"
Zahn displayed that he is not
only a good fielder but also a
pretty good hitter by getting five
hits in six tries.
Adair HurIS Well
"Giggles" Adair of the Shady
Grove Barbecue, turned in the
best pitching performance of the
day. He shut out Miller Furniture,
9 to 0, allowing seven very scat
tered hits. Adair also found Suf-
ficient time to drive out three
bingleS himself.
Joe Mackie came through with
another fine pitching effort for
the Home Theater Midgets in
the Police Boys Club League. He
pitched steady ball to enable his
team to beat Wade Auto, to 4.
He allowed nine hits.
Police Boys Club No. II kept in
the running by sweeping Sanitary
Grocers, 6 to 2.
