ROSSLYN GIRLS INCREASE DUCKPIN LEAD TO s.

Games
BY SID KATZNELL

Gait Davis, youthful but capable
manager Of the Rosslyn Girls
bowling team, is humming merry
tunes today. He has reason to
be happy.
Last night his young ladies in
creased their lead to seven full
games in the famed Ladies District
League by taking Georgetown over
the hurdles in three games. Evelyn
Ellis BAL set and Gladys Lynn'S
1913 game played prominent parts
in Rosslyn'S decisive victory. This
powerful rolling also enabled Ross
lyn to throw in a SAB game and
1911 set. Rosslyn won the cham
pionShip last season, and they are
heavy favorites to repeat this year.
A familiar figure. Lorraine
GULL, No. 2 ranking woman duck
pinner Of the country. was con-
spicouSly missing from the District
League matches last night. Vaca-
tioning in sunny Miami, the fore
most woman bowler Of Washing

trict match in six years.
However, her absence didn't to-
tally dishearten her Lucky Strike
teammates as they took a pair OF
games from Swanee.
Irene Mischou, wife Of Frank
Mischou, substituted for Lorraine
and turned in a fairly good job.

Dame. The event was a feature
Of the Presidents Cup Regatta.
Mrs. Maude Rutherford, wife
Of Mr.. Rutherford, and Lieutenant

more, Md.
DR.. Bagley is retiring from the

VSAUJ'
Clark Griffith, who brought FoS-
ter to Washington in 1912 from
the Rochester team Of the Inter
national League, was notified
early this morning Of Fosters in
jury.
The president Of the Washing
ton club hurried at once to the
hospital, where he left instruc-
tions that nothing was to be left
undone to hasten Fosters recov-
cry.
He Stood Alone
Fosters name is not mentioned
among the all.tirne greats Of base
ball, but veterans Of the game say
that in two prime essentials OF
the game he stood alone.
First, he is regarded as one OF
the greatest men in executing The
hit-and-run play.
Second, he is regarded as one
Of the greatest Of all time in
fielding swinging bunts and half
topped rollers down the third
base line.
Eddie Foster is remembered
too, for an activity far afield
from baseball. When he finished
his active career in ST. Louis in
1922, he launched forth as an
evangelist and did much good
for the poor of this city.
KNEW HIT AND RUN
Eddie Foster was the great
est man in putting on the hit
and run that baseball ever pro
duced," Clark Griffith said
this morning. 1--WE seen Keeler,
McGraw, Jennings and all the
rest, but Foster could do some
thing that none Of those fel-
lows could do. He could wait
until the fielders broke to cover,
and then slap the ball through
to pay dirt.
"The average man makes up
his mind on where he will try
to hit, playing percentage.
Foster waited for = play to de-
velOp.
"FOSteF stood alone in his
time at fielding slow hit balls
down the third base line. He
had the best underhand throw
I've ever seen, and his right
hand was as swift as light. He
could grab that ball as no other
man ever grabbed it.

Washington he batted right be-
hind Danny MOeller," continued
Griffith. "MOeller was Q speed
man, and he would break with
a pitch when the hit-and-run
play was on. That was pie for
Foster who would slap that ball
to right or left with great &C.
Curacy."
Fosters greatest year at the bal
in the major leagues was in 1917
when he batted .285. That was his
