The games which had to be postponed
yesterday on account OF the poor condi-
ton of the grounds will be played this
afternoon. This is IN accordance with
the intention OF the commission to have
everything cleared up at the scheduled
time.
As soon az II was known for q surety
yesterday that II would not be possible
to play the games scheduled. President
Young Of the commission saw the presi-
dents Of the various leagues involved
and arranged that the contests be played
today.
The Manhattan-Petworth game will be
played on the Independence League
grounds. while the Cornell and sher-
wood mines will meet ON the District
League diamond. These games will not
interfere with the playing OF the regular

uled for yesterday will probably interfere

pendence League stated that the benefit
affair which had been arranged to take
place today will be played at some
future date. while II Is probable that the

also be put on, as 1t will be impossible

two teams which will fight It out for the
championship Of the city in the final con-
test are the American Security and Trust
Company and the Cornell Company. There
Is plenty Of reason on which to base the
idea, as UP to date no club has shown
the strength that have the two mentioned
teams. Both have been strong in hit

deficiency in its ability to score runs.
The American Security and Trust Com
pany and Cornell were the two clubs to
play the final game for the championship
last year.
The series in class B will start this aft
ernoon, when the Car Department and
Naval Medical School line up against
each other on the Marquette League
grounds. There are only three teams In
this section. and II was not deemed ad-
visable to begin the series In 1t earlier,
as that would have resulted in the sched-
