The Pepco team, which recently en-
tered the Commercial League, Is max
ing an enviable record in that organi-
zation. Coming into the league a
short time ago, and taking the stand
ing which precluded any chance of Its
winning the pennant, Pepco has de-
feated every team in the league with
the exception OF Times, which team
II has not vet played.
The Electricians have defeated all
the leading teams by a good margin,
having lowered Willard's colors
twice, Walford, Andrews, and Tele-
phone also have been defeated The
only mark in Pepco's lost column is
the game 1t forfeited to Andrews, by
