TEAMS IN FIVE LEAGUES
HAVE NOT BEEN DEFEATED
Hamline, C. & L., Treasures, Car Depart
ment and Com. Nat. Bank All
Have Clean Records.

Even though the amateur leagues have
been playing ball for the last month,
there are still FIVE circuits which are be-
ing led by teams which have yet to re-
ceive their first defeat. In one other cir
cult the only game which has been lost
was by forfeit.
The Commerce and Labor nine has SC
far this year proved itself superior to
the other clubs in the Departments a.
League. it being at the head OF that cir
cult at present, with a percentage OF
1000, having won six games and lost
none. In the Sunday School League the
Hamline aggregation is still leading the
other clubs with a clean slate. having
four victories to its credit and no de-
feats.
In the Bankers League the Commercial
National Bank is ahead Of the other
teams, with four straight victories. The
Treasurers lead the Southern Railway
League. having yet to meet their su-
periors in the field.
Whether the mentioned clubs are SC
much better than the other teams in
the league race remains to be seen, but
at any rate. It is certain that the clubs
which are now leading with clean states
will not be far behind the leaders when
the season ends.
The Cornell company Is now leading
the Capital City League. with seven
games won and two lost. a percentage
Of IT'S. The Sewerage Pumping Sta
ton, which up to "A few days ago was
leading, with seven straight victories
and no defeats. Is second. with eight VIC
tories and three defeats-a percentage OF
.727. There is no doubt that the race
between these two teams Is going to be
one Of the closest in the history Of the
Capital City League. The fight which
the Cornell company and the Aloysius
club had for a time last year was nothing
compared to what the present one prom.
ises to be. Both clubs are right up Il
the notch. being we'll fortified In almos,
every department. and still making eff.
forts to further strengthen their teams.

regard to today's game. Both schools
have fought their way UP this spring
against trying circumstances, until they
are at present tied for the honor which
Tech. after losing the first game Of the
series, came back fast, and as q reward
for its efforts has now as good a chance
as its rival for first honors. On the
other hand, Western, which it was pre-
dicted would occupy a cellar berth. be-
cause Of the poor material with which to
start the season, by dint Of hard work
came forward rapidly and stood an ex-
cellent show to win the championship
with defeat, and was practically re-
garded as having 1t clinched until the
Eastern team came forth with the big
surprise.
It Is more than probable that the team
which win win today is the one which
nings and hold the tension from the
start. All the dopesters have 1t that
Tech is almost sure to win easily. but no
team ever beat Western without having
to put up night. and It is certain that
today will be no exception to the rule.
Whichever is the school to win the
coveted honor, II will deserve 1t without
question. as both have worked hard for
the positions which they have attained.
and both will work just as hard for what
they win this afternoon.
The Southern team in the Railroad Y
NJ c. A. League has not yet been de.
feated. 1t having three wins and nc
defeats to it's credit. The Car Depart.
ment leads the circuit. with five games
won and none lost The two teams have
played against each other once. but a tie
score was the result of the contest. The
next game between the two teams will
be watched with much interest, as 1t il
probable that the two mentioned teams
are the ones which will be found fighting
1t out for the pennant at the end Of the
season.
The Walford nine Is due to meet the
Willard team In tho game today which

Company X climbed out Of the cellar
position yesterday afternoon by taking a
Q to 0 forfeit game from Tenleytown. This
is the first forfeit game awarded in the
Marquette League this season, and even
at that. Tenleytown had eight men on the
field. but had to give tho game away or
account Of the ninth man failing to show
up.
However, a good exhibition game was
played between the two teams, which
Company X won anyhow, by the score OF
Z to 5.
This Company x team, which until a
few days ago had not won game. has
improved wonderfully, and after watching
them play yesterday 1t would be hard
to believe that it was the same team
that started the season in this league
The men have gained more confidence

days game 1t will put them in first place.
A team that is rapidly looming up as
a dark horse in the race for the PEN

start the season with, but Manager Lang.

nERTINENT COMMENT
Ysshappenin&$Sr &$SrSportdom

building Of the new stands and the fall
| ure to turn the diamond. has been a
great handicap to the Nationals. Left
| field hitters are scarce on the local team.
while almost every visiting team comes
here with players who hit long flies into
| left. With an open field these would
prove easy outs, but under existing con-
ditions they go for base hits and doubles.
What is more. it seems that whenever a
local player does hit into the stand 1t
| is with no one On the bases. while the
visitors have habit OF doing this stunt
| when the bags are occupied. The Boston
club was particularly fortunate in this
respect, and Bill Carrigan made a bat
ting record here on fly balls that would
have proven easy outs on any field but
this.
No one should blame Jack Johnson for
staying away from Sam Langford. a
rather tough proposition. so long as he
can get easy money by meeting lot OF
| third-raters. The latest proposition to
Johnson Is to fight Bombardier Wells
twenty rounds in England. Hugh Nc
Intosh wants to stage the bout. and he
Is willing to hand johnson a big slice Of
coin IL he will accept. Johnson is going
to sail for England shortly. and will
make arrangements when he gets there.
Bombardier Wells. OF course, does not
figure to stand the slightest chance to
beat the champion, and q good bunch
OF expense money will be easily picked
UP by the colored fighter.
Not until he finds he cannot get away
from Langford will he agree to meet the
Boston fighter. Langford may prove
easy for johnson. but he figures to be
a hard nut, and Johnson is going to
duck him as long as possible and get
bunch of coin for meeting him when he
does.

games. and they are numerous, are dis
