Hunt Gets Five Hits --C. Larson Has Two Homers Any person who things that the Chosen Friends are not a team to be contended with for this sea- son's League honors, is either lacking in judgment or hasn't seen many games this season. At the Stadium last night, Falcon Ladies, a strong ladies' team com- posed almost entirely of players with several years' experience, were extended to again defeat the Chosen Friends the score of the gale being 21 to 17. It will not do any harm to say this now. There was a time when a game between Chosen Friends and the Falcons, then the Chevs,, was not worth going very far to see. That wag last year but things are very much different now. Many of the most ardent softball en- thusiasts who have seen both meetings of Chosen Friends and Falcons this season, claim that they put up a better game than the old rivals, Malleables and IFal- cons. This is saying a great deal because those teams certainly give an entertainment but iv snows that the games this vezr =e much closer and the championship will not be won until the league is practically over. Manager Phillips sent his new- ly discovered left-hander, Ellen Elliott, in to do the hurling last night and with a nice steady dis- play, she chalked up her first vic- tory. The game was ciose through- out, the score being of the see- saw type, the advantage changing several times. Chosen Friends got off to a great start with six runs in the second and tney were tied 1 rd) 4 THEATRE TODAY AND THURSDAY .

Seventeen Hits Each Both teams hit the ball hard and often and strangely enought, they were equal in this respect, each team having 17 safe hits. The losers had nine errors to the winners' seven. It was a real good game, full of excitement and fea- tured by some fine playing on both sides. As a general rule, pitchers are not expected to contribute very materially to their teams offen- sive work but Ellen Elliott last night was not satisfied with her display in the box and assisted her teammates in winning victory for herself by getting four safe hits out of five chances. C. Larson reached first base every time she was up and had four hits out of six trips, two of them homers. A. Walker also hit a home run. M. Hunt wag the best batter of the game. This player is develop- ing very fast and already is con, sidered one of the best in the lea- gue. She had five hits out of six trips to the plate last night, one a home run and another a double. The Chosen Friends are com- manding the respect of all ladies' softball fans. They are very young and in most cases, inexperienced but they have the right spirit, they keep trying and they certainly have a great following of suppart- ers this season.

Webster was in fine form and he had the Billiard batters practically eating out of his hand, from start to finish. He allowed only three hits in the nine innings and not a runner was able to com- plete the circuit.

' The victory cut down Philadel- phia's lead in the pennant race to two and a half games, as the Ath- letics were rained out. The game, which started out at a duel be- tween the two flashy young pitch- qrs, Fischer for Washington and Hebert for St. Louis, soon de- veloped into a hectic slugging match, climaxed by the Senator's ninth-inning rally.

It was the only Chi- cago victory of the series. Shaky Boston pitching, an fu- tield error, and a disputed deci- sion by Umpire Clarke gave the Cubs victory in the seventh in- ning, when they scored four runs off Moss, Zachary and Selbold. Dressen started it all by dropping Grimm's pop fly, and three walks followed, one of which was so strenuously protected by Catcher Cronin that he was ejected from the game. Stephenson then singled and Hemsley doubled to give Chi- cago a lead which Root protected Wilson hit his sixth home run of the year in the sixth inning. GIANTS DEFEAT REDS Cincinnati, June 17.--Behind the five-hit pitching of Fred Fitz. simmons, the Ne York Giants trounced the Cincinnati Reds, 6 to 1, yesterday to sweep the two- game geries.

The only Cin- cinnati run was scored on a wild pitch. . Taylor Douthit, just acquired from St. Louis, reported today, and played centre field. Nick Cul lop injured his left shoulder in a fall in the seventh inning, and had to leave the game, O.H.A.
