Two weeks ago it was practically
impossible to tell what teams would be
the pennant winners in the various
amateur leagues, but since the season
is dra wing near to it's close the races
in the different circuits have narrowed
down to a more tangible quantity, and
ture can be made as to the probable
winners.
Out in the Marquette League the
Naval Medical School is now practically
conceded the championship. there SEEM
ing little doubt that 1t will be able to
hold the good lead it has at present on
the other clubs in the circuit The St
Stephens club, which was touted as
being about the stronges. in the league
during the early season, failed to keep
pace with the Meds and as a result it
is now in second position, with very
little prospect of getting to the head of
the circuit again.
The Suburban League pennant has
been granted to Petworth, the team
which during the early season drew
away into long lead, winning seven
games before losing any. Silver Spring
would undoubtedly have given the
winners great battle for the flag
had the seven-game series been played,
as was the idea of the league officials
Southland appears to be about the
best organization in the Olympia League,
and there seems no likelihood of its
being passed in the race in that cir
cult. 1t has played consistent ball
since the opening of the season, and
has been out of first place but for a
short while since the season began,
Hamline is the best bet in the Sunday
School League. Since the withdra wal
of Ninth and the disrupting of the
Ingram nine the present leaders have
had things about their own way, hav-
ting away with the long end Of the
scores in the games with the other
teams.
The Bankers League pennant winner
Is the American Security and Trust
Company. as was decided some time
ago.
Provided the games in which Ensle
played are not thrown out, it is prac-
tically certain that the Cornell Com
pany will win the flag I'm the Capital
and playing such consistent ball that
there seems very little chance for any
other team to overcome the handicap
that it has over the other clubs in the
that Engle pitched are thrown out. the
Navy Yard team will then have a chance
for the pennant.
The Auditors have had everything
their own way since the season began
in the Southern Railway League.
In the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. organi-
ton it is practically certain that the
Car Department will finish the season
in the lead. 1t also has had things
about as it wanted them since the sea-
son first started, there being no other
team in the league which played as
good or as consistent ball since the
opening of the season.
The flag in the Departmental League
favor the Commerce and Labor team.
although it does not have the champion
ship nearly as safe as does the clubs
that have been mentioned. Post Office
still has q chance to come out In the
lead. but not unless Commerce and
Labor drops a game to one of the clubs
with which it has to play postponed
games. The Independence League Is an
other in which 1t is impossible to tell
Just which team will finish the season
with high honors Until a few days ago
the Manhattan club led the circuit with
a margin of half game. but the
Kendall nine. which was In second place,
has won four easy games In as many
a margin of half game. Much Of how
the two teams will stand at the end
of the season will be told tomorrow,
when they meet in the f1rst of the two
scheduled.
The Commercial League has been
problem all year. First one team has
led and then another. At present the
chances favor the Andrews nine. which
IL leading with a two-game margin.
The Willard and Walford clubs still
have a chance, though.
Aloysius has been the only club in the
District League to play consistent ball at
any time during the season and deserves
to win the championship, which it seems
to haye without a doubt.
new umpire has been obtained In the
Olympia League. Mr.. Schekells. who has
been doing the arbitrating In that circuit.
he's been released and Mr.. O'Toole. who
started to od1ciate In the Junior league
which has been orgauized in Mt. Pleas.
