The Burritts have not as yet been defeated, but, by a strange va- gary of weather they have never been able to play either Pirates or the West Ends, their strongest rivals. They have absolutely swamped the weaker teams, but what they can do against teams of more equal caliber remains to be seen—and will be seen tomorrow afternoon. The double-header was made by setting ahead to tonight the Burritt Reserve-Y. M. C. A. game in the Junior City league scheduled for to- morrow at 4 o'clock. The Burritts nd West Ends were scheduled to meet at o'clock, and the post- poned game will round out the twin bill when the regular contest is fin- ished. Both engagements will be played on Diamond No. 2. On Diamond 1 the Rangers and Speedboys will play at 2 o'clock. This should be an evenly fought game and will be contested bitterly by the two teams. The Pirates will play the Tabs at 4 o'clock. Zaleski Tops Batters By getting four hits in five trips to the plate last Saturday,” Marion Zaleski, Burritt pitcher-catcher-cap- tain, shot into first place in the con- test for battings honors. He has| made 16 hits out of 30 tries for an average of .533, being excelled onl,\} by Adamaitis and his trick 1.000 percentage in one time at bat. Ga- domski, who was leading until Sat- urday, failed to get a hit and drop- ped to fourth position, being passed by William “Red” Campbell and Johnny Rose. George Campbell clung to sixth place, Partyka drop- ped to seventh, and Al Havlick | knocked out three hits to climb into | eighth position. Zaleski's 16 hits give him the lead in that branch of the game, although Rose is right behind with 15 two also top the run-makers, eski having 15 and Rose 13. Rose’s three home runs place him in front for circuit clouts, while he has also hit three doubles and three triples for a total of 24 bases. Scott of the, Speedbo: Reed of the Tabs, and Colasso of the Rang-| crs have batted eight times each and neither has made a hit, The lowest man with any pe ntage at all is Cherpac of the Speedboys, who is hitting for .095. The Burritts lost four of their team average last but are still well in front with .336.
