val NEEDS Have Pennant Practically Won in the Marquette Leagu
BOARD HOLDS
FIRST MEETING TOMORROW
Members of Body to Discuss Post-Season
Arrangements and Protests = News
Gathered From Various Circuits.

The board of arbitration will hold its
first meeting of the year tomorrow night
when 1t will get together to discuss some
OF the issues which have recently been
brought up.
One OF the questions which will be de-
cided Is the matter relative to the pro-
tested game between the Willard and
Walford teams of the Commercial
League. The Willard cub protested the
game played with the Walford ni1e, and
which was won by the latter, BE- cause OF
alleged irregularities in the registration
Of one Jones, Walford player.
Another matter which will probably be
discussed. although 1t will probably be
decided by the commission itself, Is the
pOst-season series. 1t Is not likely
that anything definite will be done re-
garding the championship games, but
simply that the matter Will be gone over
in a general way.
The game in which 1t was expected
that the Andrews team in the CONNER
cal League would improve its standing
yesterday did not prove SO easy after all.
The Telephone aggregation came strong
in the latter part of the game, ana by
all accounts the Paper Men were lucky
to get away with a tie score.
Adams gave Aloysius a battle in the
District League. and the best the ieaoeIs
could do was to get away with a TIE
score also. Adams started with Sooo
lead, and it was an uphill fight from the
start for the Churchmen.
The Southland club, which is now lead
ing the olympia League, owes great
deal of its success to the work OF Ebert,
its star twirler The big fellow has
pitched almost every game TINS year ior
the Southland club, and in almost every
game his work has been meritorious. 1t
is seldom that he has failed to hold ms
opponents to a minimum number or MUS.
Howard, the Western High player, is
putting up a mighty good exhibition IN
the iufield for the Potomac Electric Pow
er Company in the Commercial League.
His fielding has been OF the very oess'
but he has failed to hit up to the stand
ard set by him in the schoiasuc gaines
this spring.
A team of real Inoians will be seen at
Union League Park Sunday. Kid Carsey'
who is running sort OF semi-protessieI-
al club and playing Sunday games on
those grounds. has obtained the Che e'.
kee Indian club as his attraction Tor TINS
week.
The club in question IS a travelling a2-
gregation made up IN the main OF Anoans
selected from the different Indian scnoois.
The quality of ball that they are able 10
nut mn is way above what one would ex-
pect Several OF the men who nave peen
affiliated with the team have made gooo
with clubs in the minors and Dig leagues
the most successful being Warhop OF the
New York Americans.
II certainly seems that it is going
little bit too far to pick the Commerce
and Labor team as already having won
the Departmental League pennant. me
situation as 1t now stands Is that the La
borites have three more games to play,
and If they drop any one OF the contests
they will go behind Post ONCE in the
race There is plenty of chance Tor an
upset in the Departmental League YET,
and it is more than possible that tneTe
will be one.
Johnny Wilkinson, who was holding
down a bench toe tor the Aloysius ciuo
yesterday in the game against Ine
Adams Express team. was sent IN az the
ST. Martins manager responded with q
clean drive for two bases and later
scored on Suilivan's lift through snort.
He saved the game for the Aioysius
club.
In the patched-up game between Silver
Spring and Park View that took place
yesterday the Silver Spring aggregation
connected with the ball Tor totai OF
twenty-five hits almost a record Tor the
season At that. the Spring crowd only
scored fifteen runs on the twenty-five
hits. four bases on balls and three errors
A peculiar feature of the game .yester-
day between the Andrews and Ieiepnone
clubs was the fact that only three hits
were garnered by the Telephone nine.
and these were all secured by one man
Torrey-who played short, getting two
singles and triple.
Riddle, who is leading the batters in
the Olympia League, it is rumored. Will
go to Central High this fall. II the mldg-
ct infielder does enter that school ne Viii
undoubtedly add q great deal OF strength
to the team next spring. He III batting
well, is a good waiter and is fairly fast
on the bases.
On last years team Central had
mighty weak spot at second base. and
there is no doubt that Riddle will plug
the hole In good shape. as 1t is In that
position in which he is at his best
Cash. who is next to Riddle In the bat
ting averages in the Olympia circuit, Is
an ex-Central High boy.
There is not doubt that if the Cor
nell Company team does not win the
post-season series the club which does
capture. 1t will have to beat out that or
ganization for the honor. The Cornell
team looks a whole lot better than any
other ball club that is playing in any OF
the local amateur leagues and it would
not be at all surprising to see It make q
clean sweep of the series.
The Cornell team, though, stands
chance to lose one Of it's best men II
Commerce and Labor wins the pennant
who is holding down second for both
