BLANTON FANS TWENTY MEN IN EIGHT INNINGS, YET LOSES Remarkable Work of Congress Heights Pitcher Discounted by Errors of Team mates?Swimming Meet Tomorrow. BY H. C. BYRD. One of the most remarkable happen ings noted in a ball game in years re sulted in the contest played between two clubs in the Congress Heights League yesterday. For a pitcher to strike out twenty men in eight innings of play, and yet have his team defeat | ed, seems almost impossible; but that ! is just what happened to Blanton. who ! did the hurling for Congress Heights 'against the Hamilton A* C. I Such an ending to a contest seems ! almost a travesty, yet it. is simply one of those peculiar situations that often come about on the diamond. Blanton's defeat was due simply to poor support; eight errors were charged against his team in the box scores, and the prob ability is that more than that were | made. Blanton was not lacking in j control, but he was the victim of cir cumstances such as, under the condi- , lions, are seldom seen. , The Hamilton A. C. defeated Congress Heights by 7 to 6, winning by virtue of three runs scored in the final period. What probably will be the largest open swimming meet ever held here | will take place tomorrow in front of , the Washington Canoe Club, under the auspices of that organization. Practi cally every club in Baltimore which ! supports aquatics will be represented and nearly all the local ones.

C. A. The Rotary Club took the measure of the Gibraltars in the Rosedale League by 5 to 4. Dore, who did the pitching for the Rotary Club, held the Gibraltars to two hits. He was effective in every in ning, though his support faltered con siderably at times. Violet had a rather poor day in the field, but he made up for it somewhat by getting a two-base hit and a single out of four trips to the plate. Trinity won from St. Martin's in the Holy Name League by 5 to 1. The win ners got four runs before the losers tal lied their one count, and there was sel dom a time when the result of the con test appeared to be in doubt. Trinity outhit and generally outplayed St. Martin's, doing better work with the bat especially. Jordan, on the mound for the victors, fanned ten men and kept the hits made by St. Martin's well scattered. The Printers went down to defeat again in the Departmental circuit, In terior winning by 6 to 3. The two clubs went along on even terms until the fourth and fifth innings, when the Interior aggregation got four men across the plate, two in each. After that the Printers had little opportunity to finish with the big end of the count. Vernstein had the Typesetters about where he wanted them, as sixteen went down before him by the strike-out route and only three times was his de livery hit safely. Hager and Fischer of Interior made three hits each, do ing the best batting of the day by far. Interior got a total of thirteen safeties. Chemistry easily defeated Plant In dustry in the Interbureau League of the Department of Agriculture, the count being 12 to 5. Chemistry scored all its runs in the first three periods and after that there was little Interest in the contest. Chemistry made four teen safeties, while Plant Industry got i but two. The Machinists failed to play up to their standard and lost to the Congress Heights team in the Potomac organi zation. The Machinists got enough runs to win ordinarily, but neither Chaney nor Hines, their two hurlers, were able to prevent the Congress Heights club scoring just as frequent ly. The game went along in an ex ceptionally even manner. In the first inning cach nine got two men across the plate; there was no scoring in the second, but in the third two more counts were placed to the credit of each club; no scoring was done in the fourth or fifth, but in the sixth the teams got a run apiece, and in the sev enth, which ended the contest. Machin ists obtained two and Congress Heights three. Chapin in centerfield for the Ma chinists got a two-bagger and two sin gles out of four trips to the plate, while Cassidy of Congress Heights made three singles out of the same number of attempts. Fifth was a victor over Keller in the East Washington Sunday School League by 8 to 6. Keller led for the first five innings, but in the sixth Fifth went to the front and held a margin until the end. Both clubs hit the ball hard at times and seemed to experience little difficulty In getting men across the plate. Staff handed Quartermaster's De partment a 7-to-r> defeat in the Inter bureau circuit of the War Department. McLaughlin's batting was the feature of the game, a three-bagger and two singles being his record of four times at bat. Car Department got enough runs in orte inning to win from Station in the Railroad Y. M. C. A. League, scoring seven times in the sixth. Station made a game effort to get on even terms by scoring in the last three periods, but was unable to quite catch "up. White, who did the pitching for Car Depart ment, struck out twelve men. Holy Name won an easy victory over Sacred Heart in the Catholic Church organization, taking the long end of the score by a margin of eight runs. The count was 9 to 1. May pitched creditable ball for the lowers, but his support was very poor; ten men were fanned by May. In the other contest in the Holy Name circuit the St. Dominic's team proved a winner over St. Peter's,6 to JS. Superior batting was the main factor in the victory, and had not Marsden been so wild it is probable the contest would have been won more easily. Fraxier of Foresters and Flannery of Bureau led the batters in the Govern ment League, each getting three safe ties out of four times at the plate. Each player got two singles, and Flan nery made a three-base drive, while Frazier got one for two bases. The score was 5 to *Z In favor of Bureau, McDonald's pitching being one of the big factors. Bureau scored four times before Foresters got/, a run, and had no trouble winning. The Secretary-Indian team won from the Patent club in the Home Club League by 6 to 5. Weidmann pitched good ball for the winners, and his work was mainly responsible for the victory. AYERSmDNfSS LETSTIGERS WIN Passes to Bush and Kav anagh Pave Way for Three-Run Lead. BY J. ED GBILLO. Two bases on balls which Doc Ayers issued to the first two batters who faced him yesterday were responsible for the defeat of the Nationals in the opening game of the Detroit series. Three hits which followed this bit of wildness netted the Tigers three runs in this round, and that proved sufficient to win the day. After the first inning Ayers pitched ef fectively, allowing but one more run, in the sixth, his last Inning. 'Dubuc, who op posed him, went through to the ninth, when the Nationals rallied, and he was taken out, Steen, the Cleveland cast-off, finishing in a most effective manner with out allowing another run to cross the plate. Ayers started by walking Bush, and also failed to get them over for Kavanagh. Cobb forced Kavanagh at second. Bush reaching third, and scoring when Craw ford singled. Veach also hit safely, and then Burns came through with a double, which brought the total to three. The locals did little with Dubuc In the early innings Two scratch hits were all they had to their credit up to the ninth.

Open Saturday Evenings and no runs had been scored. But in the ninth Shanks started matters with a single, Milan was safe on Kavanagh's error, and then Gandil doubled to center, sending two runs home, and reaching third himself on Henry s single. Then Dubuc was taken out and Steen substi tuted. He struck out McBride, then caused Williams, who was pinch-hitting for Gallia, to send a grounder to the in field, on which he was thrown out at first. The Tigers" fourth run, which was scored in the sixth, came as a result of Crawford's single, which Milan fumbled, giving Crawford second. A poor throw followed, which put Crawford on third, and he scored on Veach's sacrifice fly. The score: WASH'S". AH. R.BH.SB.SH.SO.RR.PO.A. E.

Notes From National Open Golf Tourney A picture of the two leaders of yes terday standing: side by side would be B- mute testimonial to the fact that folf is a same for all men. Barnes is ilmost as much over six feet in height as Tellier is over Ave, and It seems hard to realize that two men of iuch differing- types can excel at the Bame game. Bsxnes played both of his rounds with a clover blossom between his lips. He never dropped it from start to finish, but when he was all through he threw it away and substituted a cigar, which he smoked contentedly as he watched his rivals hole out on the home green. Although the open championship Is primarily for the professionals, the spectators yesterday seemed to prefer to watch the amateurs. The three members of the great American ama teur triumvirate, Ouimet, Travers and Evans, were trailed by big galleries all day long. Evans attracted the largest crowd In the morning, although part of it didn't really belong to him. He played so well that he succeeded in stealing Walter Hagen's gallery before he had gone far, and for the remainder of the morning the champion played with only a nandful of followers. A cham pion defending his title without a throng behind him-, was a rather un usual spectacle. . In the afternoon, however.

He was going so poorly that when Louis Telller came In sight and It was learned that he was playing so well a big- crowd of spectators left Evans to his fate and fell In behind the two Sygmles of the links. Telller and Ben ayers. When Jerry Travers holed his putt for a 3 on the seventeenth green in the afternoon the big throng that had been u-atching him gave him a great ova tion. Jerry is extremely popular at Baltusrol and every good shot he played earned its share of applause. His 3 on the eighth, followed by a 2 at the ninth, delighted the crowd. Chick Evans did some of his worat work at the third In the afternoon. His tee shot was a trifle short, and after pitching over an intervening bunker to the green he proceeded to take three putts with the Schnectady putter, which he now uses, and rot a 5 for the hole. John G. Anderson, who was left with out a partner by the luck of the draw, played all day with Paul Moore of Mor ris County and Baltusrol. For fear of beating all the professionals. Moor* didn't hole out all of his putts. One of the best shots of the day was played by Clarence Hackney, the At lantic City professional. In the morn ing. He sliced his drive from the eighth tee behind a group of cedars and was so close to them that it seemed all but impossible to play over. He not only played over them, however, but landed the ball on the rreen not ten feet from the pin. Later in the day, Hackney was forced to withdraw be cause of an injury.

OeorBe McLean, the young home bred from Dunwoodie. soled his club In a road yesterday, and by so doing add ed two penalty strokes to his score, which he considered Quite high enough as It was. Oswald Klrkby began badly yesterday by driving out of bounds. He thought the ball was safe, and didn't play an other before leaving the tee. eo that when he discovered It was out be had to walk back to play another. In the meantime Chick Evans had started with his big gallery, and for the re malner of the morning Klrkby and his partner, Eugene K McCarthy, spent much of their time and breath In yell ing "Fore!" at the scurrying specta tors ahead. Howard W. Perrln. one of the vice presidents of the United States Golf Association, made his first appearance at Baltusrol yesterday. He left his of fice In Philadelphia at noon, and at 8 o'clock was hard at work, carrying a red flag and helping to keep the Evans gallery In order. As Hagen walked up to his ball on the home green late In the afternoon Oulmet, who was standing on the slope above the green, said to a friend: "Walter la going to make that putt. I can tell It by the look In his eye." It was a putt of fully fifteen feet, and by no means easy, but the open champion fulfilled the amateur champion's pre diction by banging the ball right Into the cup. Tt gave Hagen a much-needed 3 and a 73 for the round. 'The White 60*," says Srlfflth. "are playing far beyond thetr speed.' 60 every one said about the Braves last summer.
