FIRST SERIES OVER
SECOND IS BEGUN
MiDWiNTER LEAGUE BARS MEN
FROM OTHER ORGANIZATION.
SCHEDULE FOR COMING
SEASON.

The ending Of the first series in the
parent to the fans. One is that in
spite of Hampton's injury the Elks
are still able to pull of some fast
playing and will be in line for the top
of the flag pole in the second series.
Hampton may get back into form for
the next game week from Saturday.
Luckily the Elks do not have to play
tomorrow, so that II Hampton's Shout
der still remains stiff they will have
a week to work out new infield sys-
tenn. Sam Leslie's injured finger may
heal In time for the next game. but II
not Bob White can be brought In from
left and stuck behind the bat. The
Elks are not poor in catchers, at any
rate.
Another obvious thing is that the H.
A. C.'s cannot be counted on to play
the kind of ball they did Saturday. II
this bunch could keep up that kind Of
work, they would probably win the sec
ond series. for with the Elks IN a
weakened condition no other team
looks good enough to oppose the Reds
successfully. But somehow the Homo
lulus are not consistent Their bat
terry is constantly being changed and
no one pair Of men can be depended on.
The Rams and Males tie for second
place at the end Of the first series.
The strong showing Of Joe Cohen's men
10 a surprise because neither indivi-
dually nor collectively are they as
good players as at least one team be-
low them. The Males have been
lucky-no one can deny that-but part
of their luck consists i'm doing the un.
expected thing. Sometimes It Is a sud-
den access OF slugging ability; some
en- up the fielding wonderfully; some
times they take balloon ascension
and run up an appalling error list
However, they never do what one ex-
poets, hence they have been winning.
The Rams have many strong play
ers, but go to pieces at the wrong time.
The infield combination was changed
with disastrous consequences last Sat
urday. The old combination, with De-
sha at short, was the strongest they
have shown. Since losing Desha,
Sneldon mas performed creditabiy In
MS place, though the Datting Is weak
ened.
The Puns seem Just not quite good
enough to win their games. The weak
est point In the run lineup is snort.
Fast grounders get away from Wells
with Irritating regularity The team
Is also very weak at the bat, and In
pinches weaker yet, NOT man can De
exception or Eddie Desha, whose all
around work Is consistently good. IT,
