Dickerson baseball club was sub
dued 5 to l by C.G.C. Pandora
yesterday afternoon at the Army
Barracks field.
The destroyer baseballers dem
onstrated they were off-form and
badly in need Of practice by their
complete failure to solve the

scored in the fifth, was unearn-
ed Leftfielder Kennedy opened
the inning with his clubs only
hit, a single, and circled the has
es on long fly and errors.
Pandora sewed-up the game
early, scoring all its runs in the
very first inning. Eleven men
trotted to the plate in that fatal
round, three of whom hit safe
ly. Reese, Dickerson starting
pitcher, forced in one of the
markers with two straight bases
on balls after two men had sim
gled. Morgan. who replaced
Reese in the third, did much bet
ter, banking the opposition and
sending IL men back to the dug
out with bats or their shoulders.
Making his first appearance on
the mound for Pandora, McCaw-
ley twirled steady ball for six in
nings, striking out 16 OF the %
men facing him. Revels finish
ed the game, pitching to only 10
batters, eight of whom famed.
Losers were retired in one-two-
three order for five of the nine in
nings, four players took their
turn at bat in three frames and
in just one stanza five men APP
peared at the plate.

BASEBALL HONORED RIGHT MEN
No Questioning Choice Of DiMaegio. CamilIi
BY BOB CoNsIDINE

NEW YORK. Nov. 17.--What
interests you. buddy?
Baseball well the boys picked
the right men for those most
valuable awards. There will be-
a lot of fans who'll think honestly
that Ted Williams was gypped;
that any man who does the things
he did should be named most
valuable. "
This is no effort to scoff at Ted's
great .406 batting average. But
to have deprived Joe DiMaggio|
of the American Leagues most
valuable would have been TO kick
the spirit of the contest in the
teeth.
Williams outhit Joe az points,
and became the first 400 hitter
the league has seen since 1923, a
fine individual performance. But
Joe won the pennant for his ball
club. His 56-game batting streak
began when the Yanks were in
fifth place; when il ended they
were in first, and setting the world
on fi-yire. He was indeed most
valuable" to his team. which is
the theme Of the poll.
DOLPH DESERVED 1T
The same Is true of Dolph Ca
mill. There were a few indi-
Ividuals who outshone him in the
National League, but none of
them meant to his team what
Camilli's work-a-day pounding and
| fielding meant to Brooklyn.
AMATEUR SPORTS THE A.
A. u. meet over the weekend had
to consider 1913 new American
records set during 1871. Topping
