to the anateur basebapl championship of the District earned through the elimination process last summer American Security and Trust Companys ball team may have another opportunity to face the winners in Rich mond and Baltimore friends who took an interest In his work i ana ieit mat ne naa tne makings or a major league ball player There Is no question that he could make good as a fielder but whether or not he would be able to uphold his end with the stick causes many of his admirers to pause and think a while Inky realizes his present weakness aa well as any one else and not until he Is convinced that he will make good in every department will the offers receive much attention One of the most valuable players on the Cornell club who has perhaps been overlooked by critics is Catcher Noyes who in the opinion of many is the best amateur catcher in the District today It is probably not generally known that he Is considerably handicapped in his work because of a bad foot and considering this fact his play Is all the more Impressive As a pegger he has few equals and this fact has been demonstrated in the post season games in which he was one of Cornells dependable players Few realize Just how much Negotiations are now pending between figured But for his accurate pegging the managements of the local team and those of the Battle Axe of Richmond and Maryland Athletic Club of Baltimore and if an agreement is reached the Trust Company players will make the trip to each city for the purpose of playing match games with the champions Despite the fact that his team failed to land In the money President Howard Reeslde of the American Security and Trust Company who looks after the Interests of the team feels that his boys were a victim of unfortunate circumstances and that the club is as strong as any other team in the District He Is more than satisfied with their playing In the post season series and Intends to reward them with a trip that will more than repay the squad Last season the Bankers gained a great many friends in both Richmond and Baltimore The youthful appearance of the team and their clean tactics called forth general approbation and there Is no ques there Is no question that the F5wr team would have been easily returned the victor It will be recalled that on a number of occasions he threw out men on the bases who If they had reached the bags In safety would have scored In picking an all star team It would be decidedly unfair to overlook the veteran whose work has been one of the features In amateur baseball for a number of years Soma might argue that he is a weak sticker but statistics would show that he Is not so far behind the best stickers among District amateur catchers And what he lacks as a hitter Is easily balanced in other departments BEDS BEAT PIBATES TWICE First Game Is Pitchers Battle but Second One Is Slugfest Cincinnati Ohio Sept 1 Cincinnati won both games of a double header from tion that a game this year despite the Pittsburgh here today the first by the score of 2 to 1 and the second 11 to 6 Both iloore and Suggs were effective in the first while Oarnnltz pitched well until the ninth when he was hit just enough to allow the winning run to score In the second game Pittsburgh outhit Cincinnati but their hits were not effective In the pinches Scores Cincinnati AB 0 A Bescher If 4 1 6 1 0 Marsans cf 4 1 3

FOR SECOND POSITION BEGINS IN HOLIDAY CONTESTS Athletics Here in Full Pprce and Intent on Preventing Local Outfit From Leading at FJauflhJohnson to Go in One Game and Plank to Start for Athletics BY JOE JACKSON Washingtons real baseball fight that for second position will begin today when the Nationals hook up with Connie Macks team in two battles The Athletics at present are two and a half games behind Griffiths charges and entirely out of the fight for the pennant which most of the critics conceded to them before the season started Washington has no better chance really though standing better mathematically But it is fighting for a place a claim to which when the teams started the race would have been laughed at The Athletics came in yesterday from Boston where the Red Sox by taking three in a row ended even those slight hopes that Connie Mack had entertained that he might pull through by making a great run through the stretch Mr Mack did not accompany his team dropping oft at Philadelphia for a few hours He arrived last night to be on the scene this morning Connie has no thought of stopping now and means to force ihe Nationals to earn second position if they land it Plans for the Pitching Pitching plans for today are somewhat uncertain Johnson will go In one contest for the Nationals and Hughes is the logical choice for the other These are the only veteran experienced pitchers eligible as both Groom and Cashion worked in the New York series pitching the last two games It is expected that Plank will be on the slab for the Athletics In one contest and either Brown one of Macks 1912 finds or Crabb a recruit who beat Detroit last week in the othen In the outfield the visitors will show a couDle of players new to this city In Murphy and Walsh recently secured from Baltimore In a trade that involved the passing of some of the Athletics veteran talent Moran the outfielder secured by Washington from Chattanooga will be in uniform and may be put into the game in place of Moeller The latter Is suffering a hitting slump and It has been Griffiths recent policy to replace a man whose batting is falling off by some newcomer wherever possible to give the delinquent one a rest and a chance to come back Kenworthy will continue in left field and Laporte at second in this series Games in East Interest In the American League the Only holiday games of any Interest will be those in the East The contests in this city are of some moment because of the fight for second place Those at New York will his work in the second game with Pepeol be watched closely The Highlanders hope to stop Boston though there is no TWO GAMES WITH CHAMPS AT BALL PARK TODAY Todays games at the ball park will be started at 10i30 oclock and at 3 oclock On Tuesday the final game with the Athletics will be at 2t30 This Is the wind up of the baseball season locally save that Boston ploys three games here in the last week of Ihe season and at a time when the pennant race will be over chance to do anything that will cast a blight tin Stahls pennant chances The games in the West are immaterial Chicagos defeat by St Louis yesterday serves further to lessen Interest in the National League race The Cubs seem to be unable to hold up when they get close to the Giants and have a chance Pittsburgh Is out of It entirely as was demonstrated by yesterdays results GOLF AT COLUMBIA TODAY
