POST.SEASON GAMES
TO BE PLAYED TODAY
Andrews vs. Manhattan, GeOr-
gia avenue and Kenyon street,
5sl5.
AlOysius VS.. Cornell. North
Capitol and l. streets, 6s15.

Tomorrow will mark the end of the
post-season series in the various sections
unless something unforeseen occurs. and
the series between the winning teams of
the different classes will be started i'm
mediately.
In section A the Cornell and Aloysius
clubs are scheduled to play two more
games. but if the Cornell team wins to-
day there will be no necessity TO play the
remaining game. because il the Aloysius
club were to win 1t would not tie 1t
for the leadership.
In class AA it is more than probable
that the Manhattan and American Securi-
ty and Trust Company will have to meet
tomorrow to decide the championship of
the section. At present the Bankers
have won four and lost one. while the
Manhattan team has won three and lost
one, but today the Independence Leasuers
meet the Andrews nine and they should
have no trouble winning that game If the
Commercial League club does not play
much better ball than 1t has done so far
this season.
In section B the pennant has already
been awarded to the Southland club OF
the Olympia League.
There will be a meeting of the arbitra-
ton board this evening to pass upon the
portests registered with the commission
in regard TO some of the games that
regarding the eligibility of some of the
players, who have been questioned
II Manhattan wins today's game with
the Andrews club 1t Is barely, possible
that it will not get the opportunity to
meet the Bankers team in a deciding
game tomorrow. A protest that has been
registered with the commission by the
Bankers against Walters of the Manhat-
tan club may be upheld and the game for
feited, in which event the championship
of the section would go to the Bankers
League without question
1t now begins to look as though the fol-
championship of the city as representa-
tives Of their respective sections: South
land from class B, Cornell from class A
and the Bankers from class "A.
While neither Cornell nor the Bankers
yet have the championship Of its section
won. the odds greatly favor those two
clubs as probable winners. Cornell only
has to win one game out OF two with the
Aloysius club, and the chances are that
the Manhattan club will not win from
the Bankers If it gets away with today's
game with the Commercial League club.
There Is more doubt though in regard to
the Bankers winning than there Is In
regard to the Cornell nine. as with
Burke in the box II Is not an easy matter
for the Trust Company team to win from
the Independence leaguers as was shown
last Monday, when with everything
breaking against him 1t was only by
marvellous catch in right field by Dyer
that the Bankers were able to beat HIM
Sherwood played a bang up game
against Post Office yesterday that gave
every evidence that the club was doing
Its average when 1t won from the Post
ONCE in the opening game. That 1t lost
yesterday by a score OF to l tells moth
ing If not that it can play as good ball
as the Mailmen.
II was mentioned in these columns
some time ago that Rhodes. who was
playing right field for the Sunday School
leaguers at that time. was pitcher away
above the average, and the game he put
up yesterday in the box gave evidence
no score for the nrst five innings and to
six hits was a feat that Is not easily ac-
complished. and yet Rhodes did that and
without any preparation for the game, as
he has done little or no pitching this
year.
The Potomac Electric Power Company
will meet the Hamilton team. runners up
in the Sunday School League. tomorrow
afternoon on the Sunday School League
grounds, 18th and d streets northeast.
The regular lineup Of the Pepco nine
will be in evidence, and Manager Gray Is
expecting to win.
The Pepco team this year has made a
splendid record during the time that 1t
has been in the field. and it is intended
to put out an even stronger club next
year. The team, after taking up the
reins of the Moses nine in the CONNER
cial League. finished the season without
the loss of a game.
The odds seem to favor the Cornell
team In it's game with the Aloysius club
this afternoon. While the Churchmen
showed up especially strong in their last
game, II Is not likely that they will be
able to get away with the game today.
The paperhangers as an offensive organi-
zation cannot be surpassed In the Dis
trict, and II Richmond pitches in ire form
Of which he is at times capable there
should be little chance for the Aloysus
club to get away with the winning score.
The Aloysius club Is one that never
knows when II is beaten, though. and Is
famed as an organization that plays It's
best in crucial engagements. Such has
always been its record and there are a
great Saany who believe that II will get
away with both the games remaining to
be played.
