BANK LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Record Breaking Crowd Expected at
American Park Today.

To decide the championship of the Bank
League. the teams from the American
Security and Trust Company and the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Savings Bank will
contest at the American League Park at
4:30 O'Clock this afternoon. Intense in
terest is being taken in this game and a
record-breaking crowd is sure to be on
hand.
The aggregation representing the Amer
lean Security and Trust Company has a
clean record with no defeats and six VIC
tories. The nine from the Riggs National
Bank is second in the standing with six
won and one lost, while the Merchants
and Mechanics team have five victories
and one defeat to it's credit. Should the
latter team defeat the Security boys in
its battle this afternoon there will be a
triple tie between the three leading teams,
but should the American Security and
Trust aggregation get away with the
large end of the score they will be the
champions of the first and successful sea-
son of the Bank League.
Hooks Taggart, the star slabman of
the Security nine. has twirled his team
to all of it's six victories this season and
Is booked to do the box honors for his
team this afternoon. Both teams are con-
fident of a victory, and the game gives
promise of being worth going some d s.
tance to witness.
