STATEN ISLAND IN FIRST PLACE.

LIKELY TO WIN THE CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIP
OF NETWORK AND ITS VICINITY.
After great struggle with the other leaders IN
the race for the cricket championship OF New-forK
and Its vicinity. Staten Island has at last got INTO
first place. and everything points TO the Island
ers being the pennant winners OF 1925. The Man
haitian men have finished their schedule and they
should second place although the Brooklyn
team has still a fighting chance. Staten Island has
only one mere league match 10 play, and as IL Is
against the weakest club in the league there Is
every probability that they will add another victory
to their credit For unaccountdDIe reason
the Nex-Jersey A. c. men have not played up 10
their true form in league matches, Tor tney GER
tanly deserve better place than third, when Is
all they appear to be able to secure.
In the contest for the batting prize a new leader
is found this week in r. T. Rokeby, OF the Staten
Island club. He has obtained his place by Wig
orous hitting and should he make large score
against the New-York team, which is not at all
