The Landers team was or- iginally scheduled to play but in- ability of the manager to get the team together caused the substitu- tion of the Stanley Rule team. The superb pitching of Faul for the winners proved to be the down- fall of the Newmatics. She allowed four hits, struck out nine batters and retired five herself with brilliant catches and plays at first. Simmons who pitched the New- matics to a win over Landers last week was wild last night and walked 13 Rulers. However, she pulled herself out of tight hole fanning the opposing batter: struck out 11 of the Rulers. She was the best batter of the night. She collected three of her team's four hits and one of them was a homer to left field. | Miss Stasky hit a home run and single to lead the Stanley Rule while Spec and Marley each got a triple Orzelhosh of the Newmatics fo |tured in the field with her catches of three hard hit flies while on the dead run. One was a heautiful shoe-string play. The game was interesting and wit- nessed by a large crowd. The crowd- ing of the field was again in evidence | last night making play difficult.

The champion Washington team went down to defcat on Diamond No. 2 at the hands of the Nathan Hale team, the score being 15 to 13. A ninth inning rally wherein the Washington batters got six singles, five of them in succession, most tied the score, but a snappy double play by the Nathan Hale teara killed Washington's chances and chalked up the first loss of the scason against the team that won the title last year. Golas, pitching for the Nathan Hale team, was easily the star of the winning side. He held the pow- crful Washington team to six hits in the first eight innings and al- though he weakened in the last frame, he pulled through finally with a win. Washington was without an ef- ficient battery. Capodice wha started walked four men and hit another in the first frame, which coupled with a singla, gave the Nathan Hale Kiczynskl relieved him in the second, but he himself went out Mke a light in the third and Labicnic twirled for the rest of the game, Washington started off as if it was going to a field day at the ex- pense of the Nathan Hale crew.

Nathan Hale scored one in the second and four in the third. The team added three more in the fifth, another in the sixth and the two necessary to win in the elghth frame. In the seveMth inning with a man on the bases, Golas fanned three Washirgton batters. The Washirgtons met his pitch- ing in the first of the ninth with five successive single. Labienia hit another but with the tieing runs on second and third, Todzla hit to center field and Labienic was dou- bled off second for the second and third outs and the game was over.
