and they lost several points more By los

Standing of League Teams.
The past week was a dull one in In
door Baseball League circles The first
game scheduled-Arlingtons versus Cor
corans-was not played because the
former team had not secured a playing
field. For this reason it is likely that
the Arlngtons have dropped out of the
ieague. Wednesdays game between the
Urelis and CorcOrans was postponed until
next Wednesday. because of the Corco-
rar-West Branch Young Mems Christian
