Owing to the fact that houses viii be

For The past five years the Capital City
League has been the favorite in the post
season series. and in nearly every case
the teams representing this circuit have
verified the good things said about them
by walking away with the championship
Of the District This year seems no ex-
ception to the rule. and the followers OF
rival leagues are already speculating on
what chances their favorites have against
Cornell Company or the Aloysius Club
for these two teams are the only survi-
vors in the hot race for the pennant.
At the present the Paperhangers are
holding down first place, but IL is only
by the narrowest Of margins. and even
the loss Of one game would shove Alloy
sius into the honor position. The rela-
tive merits Of the two clubs have already
been the subject OF SO much discussion
that something nearly approaching a feud
has developed between the rooters and
lively times are expected when the teams
clash on Thursday. AS this contest will
probably go a long way toward deciding
tie pennant, the largest crowd OF the
season is expected and Vice President

Now, as long as baseball has existed
the arguments over the good and bad
qualities Of the players have been the
chief topic Of conversation between the
followers of the game, and in endeavor-

satisfy some of the fans. who carry 10y

point of blindness to a rivals good play

is calculated 70 play together for the
good Of the club and not for individual
averages. In fact, in picking the team.
individual averages have been practically
disregarded, for they are almost the last
thing to De considered in getting at a

men have been chosen according to the
way they play to win.
