MOULDERS AND CHAMPS
Now Tied For First Position
Honors.
Fight One of the Closest and Most
Interesting Ever Enjoyed by
Local Baseball Fans.

While Akron and Youngstown
played a thirteen mning tie game
yesterday Newark put one over ON
Mansfield and is now tie with the
Champs for first place with Akron
but three points behind.
The great battle for the honor
position in the league is attract
ing wide attention and every con-
test is bitterly fought. From the
present outlook it seems that the
fght will continue until the final
games are played and that the
struggle will be u memorable one
in the Ohio-Pennsylvania league.
The batting of the Tip Tops and
the Champs is helping Newark and
Bob Berryhill's aggregation-the
real surprise Of the seasons TAX
ing full advantage of the leaders
battle by winning every game. The
game fight put up by Newark all
season in spite Of tremendous odds
has made that club a general fav-
mItc over the circuit and nine out
of every ten fans want Berryhill
to cop the rag. All of the clubs,
Newark included, are strengthening
mp in every department. As the
other leagues close for the season,
their stars are being secured by
either Youngstown, Akron or New
ark and within the next few days
some new faces may be expected
on all three clubs.
While Youngstown and Akron
battle again today, Newark will
play Mansfield and should win.
If Akron Whips the Champs as
they are due 20 do then Newark
will pull into the lead. Tomorrow
! Youngstown will open IA two-game
series with New Castle. Akron
will play both days at Sharon anC
Newark will have Marion on it,
home grounds. According to tht
dope Newark should take from tht
locals while either Youngstown o.
Akron will he fortunate if the,
get better than an even break.
/ In closing the season next weel
| Newark has three games with Mar
ion and two with Lancaster. TIL
| Muldcrs should win at least fOu
of the five games and by So doin
will cop the pennant.
The Moldcrs have shown Il grea
fighting spirit throughout the sea
san and if they can maintain j
until the last southern club wi
| surely come out in front. Neithe
Akron nor Youngstown has dis
played the class that their salar
lists would indicate that the
Should and should either of tn
clubs, especially the Champs, fai
Ia get the bunting there will b
a Disguised bunch of fans that ha
wasted large amount of none,
in trying to cinch the flag even be
fore the season opened.
Sharon has been playing an i'm
proved article of ball during TIN
past few days and has nosed Mans
field out Of sixth place. The TIC
el's have been playing a-la-Mariol
tol' some time and continue to ee
closer 10 that magnetic cellar posi-
tlon which they occupied for S,
long time. There is little danger
however Of the Lime Burners pul.
ing themselves out of the last hol
50 Mansfield may rest easy as fa
rs that is concerned.
+ Mapicm will return from Newarl
ON Friday and will finish the sea
son at home. A double header will
be played here with Mansfield OF
Sunday, the last Sunday game o
| season and big crowd should b
on hand. The fans should trrl
oni well during the Hast few game
to demonstrate to the management
that they desire the club to remaiI
