OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
NOW REMAIN TO BE DECIDED
independence and Departmental League
Leaders Only Ones in Doubt Cornell
Company Will Lack Twirlers.

With the exception Of two although the
schedules are not yet ended, the cham
pionship Of every amateur league in the
city Is practically decided. Four leagues
have already finished their schedules and
| the majority of the others are due to
play their last games this week, so that
the post-season series may be started
about next Wednesday or Thursday.
Tho Independence and Departmental
leagues are the two which have yet to
decide the winners Of the pennants In
the Independence League tho Manhat-
tan and Kendall clubs are 70 close that
only half q game separates them. The
Manhattan club Is in second place, with
sixteen games won ana three lost while
the Kendall nine Is In the top berth with
seventeen games to its credit and three
registered in its lost column. 1t will be
decided Wednesday which shall have the
lead at least until next Monday, when
the two teams meet In the last contest
OF the season. 1t is very probable that
whichever team wins the game Wednese
day will get the flag, at least the chances
will greatly favor that nine. Post ONCE
and Commerce and Labor are tied for
the leadership in the Departmental
League.
Some time ago when Commerce and
Labor defeated the Post Office team the
pennant was practically conceded to Com
merce and Labor on all sides, but it was
pointed out that it did not have the flag
secure by any means and that more than
likely the pennant would finally be de-
cided by game between the two lead
ers Such Is the status Of the league
race at present. Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday the two teams will meet In
series OF three games to determine which
will have the honor Of competing in the
poet-season series.
In the other circuits which have yet to
finish their schedules certain teams have
such commanding leads that 1t is almost
assured that they will not be ousted from
their positions. Cornell Company, in the
Capital City League Is so far In the lead
overtaken, and the same Is true of the
Naval Medical School and the Southland
clubs. in the Marquette and Olympia
leagues. respectively. Each Of the three
teams has more than three-game lead
on its nearest rival. Hamline. in the Sum
day School League. has the scantiest
margin Of any Of the others, but 1t is not
probable that any Of the other clubs In
the circuit has strength enough to beat it
out In the Anal contest this week.
Two exhibition games will be played
today. The Potomac Electric Power Com
pany. which was about the best club in
the Commercial League, and which finish
ed its season without a defeat, will meet
the American Security and Trust Com
pany on tho White Lot. while the Co
lumbia GOD and the Aloysius mines will
try conclusions in the District League.
The most interesting OF the two games
will be the one between the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company and the American
Security and Trust Company. One is
practically composed OF ex-High School
stars, while the other is made of Of boys
who are now serving their terms on the
scholastic mines. On the face Of 1t the
American Security and Trust should win.
but II 1t does not win with the greater
