even standing with the st. James

lowed the Davenport team was two
whole games behind the local team
and but one, game to be played. st

was safely tucked away, but the ad-
verse decision put a different aspect
on matters. Sunday afternoon, the
two leading teams are to cross bats
at the Suburban island park. The
outcome of the game will decide the
pennant winners.
In order TO strengthen its chances
for the rag, the St. Paul team has
picked a catcher from the Sacred
