Standing of Marquette League.

AS the season progresses the fight for
hOnors in the2MarQuette League is becoming
more interesting. At present it appears
that Trinity and ST. Anthony will have a
hard battle for first place. 1t Is hard to
pick the winner. ST. Paul will probably
come up before the present week is over.
as that team plays five games this week.
During the past week there were eight
games played in the league. one of which
resulted in tie between St. Martin and
ST. Patrick. One game was postponed be-
tween ST. Anthony and ST. Martin on &C
count of rain, and the game between ST.
Paul and Immacu Conception has been
protested and Is not included in the stand
ing, which will be adjusted at a meeting to
be held during the week. Thursdays game
between Immaculate Conception and st.
