The Agriculture Manhattan game to-
morrow evening will be worth witnessing
Manhattan seems to be the clerks only
competitor for the flag, and Manager
kraft's lads feel that their road to vic
tory is paved with roses. Manager Evans
of Agriculture, however. is certain he can
fill that road with thornS. and at the
pace the Angles are going 1t is more than
likely that the game will be close.
Hats off to Bennett, Twining's latest
acquisition He played a stellar game In
right for the New York avenue boys
Wednesday, and welded the willow with
telling effect securing brace of clean
bingles. Topsy. he is called is out
for a trial at second.
Madigan, Advent's left gardener, has
the makings of a professional. The
youngster never misses high one and
covers plenty of soil.
Graham. Aggies' old reliable at first
was back in the game Friday and looked
natural. He cleaned UP everything in
the fielding line and handled the stick
cleverly.
Wallach has certainly taken a brace
1t was all that Agriculture could do tc
beat the southeast lads Monday, and
they tied Manhattan to g. the follow
ing day.
Twinins has struck a bunch of hard
Yn1~ nj hut IL
on the mound the dark clouds have
ceased to hover around their village. and
Manager Rupert is certain he will be
on the top when the dust clears.
Notice the gingerly playing of that
Agriculture tribe While at times the y
are outbatted by their opponents. they
take advantage of every miscue aud
run the bases with deXterity. The team
that beats the clerks in the post-season
series will have TO travel the road at u
mighty fast clip. as Manager Evans
band of warriors from the Mall con-
sfsts Of the highest class of talent ever
garnered in the world of spheroid and
batdom.
Wa1lach has very classy third
sacker in Nanderlip. The brunette &C
cepts every chance that comes his way
is heavy with the wagon tongue and a
dangerous factor on the sacks.
WynkoOp of Twining and Wilkinson
of Advent have been ousfed from the
league for the balance of the season
for violating rules.
Advent will feel the loss of Schmidt
their star outfielder, during the re-
mainder of the season. Dutch" became
dissatisfied and at his own request has
been transferred to Twining. Wallach
also has a string on the blonde.
Americas broke into the league with
Advent Thursday and twirled c1everly
for three innings against Wallach. He
appears to have an abundance of speed
and shoots and should be a great help
to the Episcopalians.
Chapman of Manhattan is being tried
out at first. and during his first game
at that bag Saturday he displayed some
fast fielding. Chappy should have little
difficulty making the position with a
little more seasoning.
Ninth seems to have an extraordi-
narily strong battery combination. and
with an Improvement in the field the
northeast aggregation should climb an
other rung before the end Of the sea
son. 1t Is an undisputed fact that
Brady and Symanoskie, as slab artists
are hard to equal, both being shining
stars in the Sunday school nine from
that church, and Dutton and Seaton
form the catching staff. Dutton is noted
for his clever wing movements and
Seaton for his c1outing. Keep pl-'gging.
Thornberg. you'll trim the Aggies yet.
