Teams Clash
On South
EIEpse
BY SID KATZNELL

Reallz1ng LnaC CLSy can VIII IIle
first half crown in Section A OF
the National City Baseball League
by defeating Rose Liquor, Sunday
on the South Ellipse, Heurich
Brewers are sending their ace,
Walter Jesse" James, to the hill
! Last Sunday the veteran right
handler exhibited some of the fin
est pitching seen on the sandlots
this season in disposing Of the
powerful Gordon's Cafeteria, 9 to
2. He set the smuggling Cafemen
down with four hits.
Rose will probably pitch Jim
Murphy, the former minor league
twirler, who BANKED Shady Grove,
10 to o, allowing five very scat
tered hits. Fee Colliere, who las
been playing Sandlot baseball for
% years despite his 80 years, will
don the mask for the Brewers,
while Melvin Fugitt, former Wood
men Of the World catcher, will be
behind the bat for the Liquor
clan.
PuSateri Is a Star
All eyes will be glued on Joe
PuSateri, Roses hard-hitting third
sacker, who has been knocking
the bail all over the lot here lately.
We understand that several big
league teams are interested in the
youthful italian Slugger.
Two other good contests are
listed in Section A. Shady Grove
meets Gordon's Cafeteria on the
East EllipSe and Dixie Pigs collide
with Union Printers on Fairlawn
Diamond No. 1.
We know that the Grovemen
took a severe lacing from Rose
last Sunday but they are better
team than that and should give
the Cafemen considerable trouble.
The Pigs and the Printers are
just hitting their strides and
should give the fans some high
class baseball.
The best contest in Section B
will be the White Haven-New Deal
match on the Boiling Field dia-
rnond. The New Dealers are tied
with Star Radio, who drew a bye
this Sunday, for first place with
five victories and one defeat.
Georges Team Strong
One Of the strongest teams in
the junior division is the Georges
Radio, which is deadlocked with j..
C. Flood and Police No. 4 for first
place with two wins and no losses.
The Radio team has such estab-
lished juvenile stars as Dave Ma
loney, Homer Sprinkle, Tommy
Simpson, Dick Lynham, Chick
DiGulian, Hal Leatherwood, Mug
Needle, Dick Smith, Bill O'Con-
nor, Toby Bright, Carroll Alex
ander, Butch Woods. Bill Gar
land, Joe Albert Sullivan, Dick
Rozelle and Bits Emmert. Tommy
Thompson, who has managed
some Of the strongest amateur
teams in washington, is handling
the Radio team and sees a bright
season ahead for his boys.
