Play DOubIe-header To-day.
Because Of the scarcity of available
dates, a double-header will be played at
National Park to-day between Bethany
and Treasury, and Trinity and Aloysius.
The Bethany-T Treasury game is the first
on the card. and will be started promptly
at o'clock. Donaldson and O'Neile VIII
work for the money handlers, while Man
ager Tucker viii send either Newgent or
Barnhart In to pitch for Bethany, with
Wood to do the receiving.
The second game or the double bill will
be one of the most important of the Sc
ries. for it is between the two teams that
are fighting for first place in the series,
Aloysius and Trinity, neither Of which
has lost a game.
The North Capitol street outfit at pres
ent has the age on the West End aggre-
cation by reason Of its defeat Of Bethany
yesterday, so Trinity viii strive all the
harder to down the leaders.
Phe rivalry between the two teams IS
intense, Trinity being composed mostly of
St. Stephens players. which team was
beaten for the pennant in the Capital
City League by Aloysius. There has al
ways been the hardest kind of battle
