One Of the chief topics will be the

that the railroads should be held re-
sponsible for personal mishaps to the
men in their employ or. broadly, that
the industry should bear the brunt 2
misfortune in service instead OF the
man. In turn, if the cost of such re.

Cornell, Manhattan, and
Naval Medicos Ahead in
the Three Sections.
TIGERS TRAVELLING
OVER ROCKY ROAD
Aloysius and Sherwood Expected
to Make Trouble for
Other Teams.

The close of the first weeks battling
in the post-season series shows Cor
nell, Manhattan, and Naval Medicos
ahead in the three sections.
Cornell had been picked by nearly
every one to finish in the lead in sec
tion A. The Tigers have had a rocky
road to travel. and have had no easy
time anneXing their three victories.
Friday they were outplayed by Post
office, winning by a fiuke. Yesterday
Cornell received quite a scare from
Sherwood.
Postofice seems to have regained
form, and should be a contender in
the remaining games.
Aloysius Playing Well
Aloysius is a strong team. and plays
an excellent article OF ball Aloysius
and Sherwood should make trouble for
the other teams. Many fans consider
Aloysius a strong contender for first
honors The Clubmen all but defeated
Cornell. the game going to a tie in the
last inning, and Manager O'Connor is
sanguine over the result of the series.
Manhattan has proved the dark horse
in section AA, breaking out into the
Iedu DN uSledllIlB the bdnheTS On + IL
day. The Independence Leaguers are
going at fast clip, and should they
win tomorrow will have the bunting
Cinched in this section.
Off In Last Two Games.
The Bankers have been off their
stride in the last two games, and, un-
less they come back into form tomor-
row, their chances will go glimmering.
There is no doubt about the strength Of
this team but it is not now playing the
article of ball 1t is capable of playing.
Poor fielding of PetwOrth and An
drews has caused the defeat of these
two teams, and unless they improve
they will hardly have a chance, al
though Andrews played a good game
yesterday.
The section teams are closely
punched, with any one of the three in
line for the leadership. The teams are
evenly matched, and play as good an
article Of ball as that exhibited by the
so-called stronger teams in the other
sections.

FAILURE TO STEAL
HOME MAKES EVEN
SCRAP FOR BANKERS
When Riddle Fans With
Corners Crowded It's
Good Night.

The second tie of the post-season
championship of the District was re-
corded yesterday afternoon out at the
Thirteenth Snd d streets ball yard.
when American Security and Andrews
played nine innings. each failing to un-
tie the three and three score standing
since the sixth round.
During their first time at the bat
American Security put across two runs,
which looked like the beginning of the
end for Andrews, but Chism frightened
up in the second and kept the Bankers
from scoring again for five innings.
Andrews got its first run in the third
inning and two more IN the sixth, which
established the tie.
In the ninth session things looked
gloomy for the Stationers. American
Security got three men on bases. with
but one out. At bad time, however.
West tried to steal home. but was
caught out. Then Riddle famed the
air three times, which retired the side.

SECTION A
Cornell Sherwood.

Billy MarCeron's hitting has won all
three of Cornelrs games. The speedy
little left fielder came through with a
two base clout at just the right mo-
Tnent yesterday, scoring two men.
r
That boy Cottonny LOveless is GER
tainly some fielder. Yesterday he cut
off three safeties in the fourth by fast
fielding. There was a man on first, and
on balls hit to deep short he cut the
runner off at second each time. when
there was not a chance of throwing
out the hitter at first base.
Cy Macdonald almost tore Porter's
hands off when he hit a screaming
liner to left. Porter saw it coming and
stuck his hands In the way, but he
might as well have tried to stop
bullet. He saved the hit going for
two bags.
Lefty Wooden, with the exception of
the fifth, was master of the situation
at all times. The diminutive southpaw
had Sherwood's clouters faded.
=
Cornell had little difficulty in land
ing on Hiett's slants, but foolish base
only by a fluke that they were able to
get away with the contest.
+
Davis error at the plate, which lost
the game for Sherwood was In a large
measure excusable. The ball arrived
about the same time that big Cy did.
Cy sliding. Cy is no sylph, and nat
urally he carried Davis down with him.
Davis said afterward he thought one
of the freight trains from the nearby
tracks had jumped a switch and hit
him.

stellar work in the box allowed Post
office to smear the Aloysius team with
whitewash yesterday. the final score be-
ing to o.
Kerr allowed the Clubmen but four
bingles, and famed nine. while three
received free transportation. Aloysius
threatened to score in but one inning,
when brennan was cut down at the
plate on an attempted double steal.
McMorris started batting rally in
the sixth, which sewed up the contest,
by polling a clean single 10 left. Barn
hart beat out a hit to sullivan, and
after FentOn had whitfield, Gertman
worked the squeeze with MCMorris,
Gertman, however, being safe at first.
Kerr singled Two more rurs crossed
