Spalding & Bro. Ace of Pitching Staff. Bennie Womersley, captain and erack | southpaw pitcher, has again this sea- son been the ace of the Riggs machine. It was this boy's stellar hurling that also blazed the way to the team’s tri. umphs last season and in 1925. In ten league starts this campaign Wom- ersley lost not once. In fact, he has been beaten in only one game in the circuit the past three seasons. Ameri- can Security & Trust Co., turned the trick two 3 ago. Jack Brinkman, formerly of Central High, also has shown cleverly for the title holders this season, winning both games he started. Another important figure in the team’s success for the past three year s been Earl Haycock, stalwar tcher and heady manager. Though coordination of play has been a vital factor in enabling Riggs | to reach the heights on the diamond, teamwork ever having been empha- sized over individual effort, there were 1 number, in addition to Womersley, | Brinkman’ and Haycock, whose work this season has bheen outstanding. Mumford Ellis, left fielder, and Mel- vin Hamby, second baseman, ha clouted vigorously and often to lead| the team's attack, and Roger Snyder, shortstop, and Benjamin Mensh, cen- ter fielder, have played bang-up ball afield. Other members of the team. all of whom have played consistently well, are Jack Hurdle, first baseman; Sam | | Cherry, third baseman; Jack Bielaski, | right “flelder, and these utility men' | | Emory Shanks, infielder, and George Irelan and Joe Lambath, outflelders.

The combination representing bank is now tied with Merchants fc | the Jead in the first half of the Bank- ers' Tennis League. Last Winter the | | Riggs quint won the the champion- ship of the basket ball league, and its maple crashers finished third among the 18 teams in the bowling loop. In- cidentally, Farl Haycock is president lof the bowling league. All the Riggs athletic activities are sponsored by the Riggs Bank Club, membership of which is made up of employes of the institution. The or- ganization is heartily supported by the ! bank officers.
