The Dominicans, erstwhile leaders, were toppled by the Petworths in a 5-to-3 encounter, while the Arlingtons drubbed the Waverlys by a similar score. The Mohawks remain in third place, but they were given a great surprise by the Cherrydales. The latter scored their first league win, beating the Indians, 5 to 3, and relinquished the cellar position to the Knickerbockers, who were vanquished, 7 to 6, by the Shamrocks. The Harps’ victory sent them into fourth position ahead of Waverly and just behind the Mohawks. Claude of Cherrydale was touched for eleven hits by the Mohawks while the Virginians slammed Kelly for but nine safeties, but the Indian blows were scattered and Cherrydale played errorless ball behind its hurler. A four-run Petworth rally in the seventh inning sent the Dominican Lyceum outfit down to defeat. Mc- Connell was the victim of the on- slaught. Chase held the Dominicans to six safeties and was well backed up by his mates. The Shamrocks made it two wins in as many days over the Knicker- bockers, aiso with a seventh-inning rampage that was good for three runs. Bach team made but six hits. Five of the dozen blows: were for extra bases. Waverly threatened to run away from Arlington, scoring three runs in the first pair of innings, but the Vir- ginians then got busy and pounded Mills for their sixth straight win.

The Corinthians #lso slugged for twenty-two hits in vanquishing St. Joseph's. Nationals and Hanovers were given good pitch- ing that was well supported. Lang- horny hurled good ball for Aurora in its victory, but the Auroras could do little against Walsh in the tilt they dropped. Premiers outclassed Peer- less in every department of the game. ——— INDEPENDENTS TO MEET. Managers of clubs in the Inde- pendent Base Ball League are to meet tomorrow night at 424 9th street.

Cleveland, pitching for Benning, yielded but two hits and never was in danger of being scored against. S. Colvin got two of Benning's nine swats off Hood. Suit's hard hitting helped Maryland Park score its win over Capitol Heights. He got a homer and two singles in three times at bat. After Pierce scored in the eleventh, edo rallied and pushed two runs across. Two Pierce pitchers were knocked from the slab. In the Washington-Maryland League the leading Mount Rainier team was handed its first defeat, being beaten, 11 to 2, by Maryland Athletic Club.

BY GEORGE CHADWICK. EW YORK, June 30.—Odd things have happened in big lcague base N ball this past week—things that many a base ball fan will want to file away in the old scrap book for future reference. For instance, the American League had three leaders within the week, and came near having another. New York started the week on top, but surrendered to Detroit, which, in turn, passed the honor on to Washing. ton. Had Boston not lost a double-header to Philadelphia, the Soy might have had a turn at being leaders. Another odd performance. Three clubs won both ends of doubl header bills in one day. The Athletics beat Boston, Washington be New York and Cleveland beat Chicago. And every one of those doul victories had a marked bearing on the shifts in the club standings. e e e CRASHPROOF ARENA FOR JULY 4 FIGHTS The Washington-New York double bill tumbled the Yankees out of first place and paved the way for ‘Washington to take that exalted position.
