son or tne GraHniar scnOOl DaseDdli tour- nanent was an interesting one from many standponts. Several severe shakeups re- suited and the. championship in several of the divisions was not determined until the, last, innings were played. In all ex- cept the southern divisions of both the can be determined. In the junior league Powell and Lakeview are tied for the championship in the southern division and will play it of at Behren's park on Mon day afternoon. This contest Is expected to be one of the best of the season and nondoubt a large crowd will be on hand to witness 1t. From the record made by the teams so far this season they seem to be very evenly matched and 1t would be next to impossible to pick the winner beforehand. - psg
 woodlawn has had little trouble in win ming the championship in the eastern di- vision from Barret, Gibson and Robin son.. Barrett and Gibson finished tied for second place with Robinson. bringing up the rear In the northern division Pro- lessor Smiths pupils of the Martin school won the championship with clean rec ord. North Birmingham finished second. with Kingston and East Birmingham tied for third place. In the western division Moore outdistanced all corners and fin ished with a clean record.
 The semi-fnals in the Junior. league will be played of on Wednesday when Moore and Martin will tie up on the Owenton diamond, and Woodlawn and either Powell or Lakeview, according to which team wins on Monday, will meet. The winners of the semi-fnals will meet at Redwood next Tuesday in what is ex- pected to be one of the best contests of the season.
 In the Senior league the races have also been close and interesting. Powell won the eastern division championship with little or no trouble, but the race in the southern division is as yet an un- settled question. Lakeview. however, has a slight lead owing to the committee in charge giving the last game with voca- tional to Lakeview. Vocational, however, has a chance to give Lakeview run for the championship by winning Monday and Tuesday from South Highland and Ullman, respectively, providing Ullman should hap pen to defeat Lakeview on Monday. How ever, this Is unlikely, and Lakeview will in all probability finish at the head of the southern division.
 North Birmingham finally won the championship in the northern division after hard tussle with Martin. The re- verse which Martin experienced at the hands of Avondale early in the season was really its downfall. However, North Birmingham has played good, consistent game and deserves great credit for win ming the division championship. The team from the northern part of the city should bear watching should 1t get into the finals.
 In the western division Minor by its second victory over Bush clinched the cha mpionship. The race in this divi- sion was mainly between Minor and Bush, and 1t was not until the final game was played that the champion ship was definitely decided.
