No more games.
In one of the saddest exhibitions OF
the year Postofhce defeated the Labor
ties yesterday. and earned the right to
represent the Departmental League in
the post-season series.
Manager Shoemaker can blame his
pitching staff for his two last defeats.
Yesterday the Mailmen got only nine
teen hits, two of which were three-bag-
gers and four of which We're doubles.
Had Shoemaker had a pitcher who
could have held the Mail Fingers, he
would have easily won the game. His
team got home run, two triples, and
three doubles off Ferguson, who didn
seem to have much, but when Post
office wasn't hitting the Laborttes'
ningers c. and L. were making errors
behind them.
Fans will have to hand It to Hack"
Fanshaw, and Manager Shoemaker has
como in for lot of criticism for keep
ing Hack on the bench for the last
three years. After warming up the
pitchers for three years. Hack broke
into the game against Navy a while
ago and pnled out a single. Again yes
terday he proved the right man on the
spot by garnering another single.

Manhattan VS.. Kendall, at North

Manhattan and st. Paul battled sew
en- innings to tie, the contest being
q superb pitchers battle.
Walter Hughes was all in all for
st. Paul. His work was the best ex-
hibition in the Independence League
this season.
Hughes held Manhattan to three
singles all of which were scratches.
He famed eleven; in the last three
innings retiring eight on strikes. He
passed three and easily pulled out of
the few holes into which he slipped
Burley also pitched we'll, being
touched for four hits and tanning
six. Bill ielded his position in great
style making seven assists and one
put-out.
Hughes, too, handled everything
mat passed near the box. In the
fourth inning he got three assists.
Jimmy Donnelly got two of the
three hits off Hughes. His single in
the first was too high and too hot for
Hughes t. handle and in the third he
laid down a pretty bunt.
Sanford's single in the first after
Weisenberger had gotten a pass and
Adolph Rawlings a hit sent two runs
across the plate for st. Paul.
Reggie" Rawlings scored Manhat
tan's second run after getting life
by a hit. He went from first to third
on Scott Dampier's sacrifice and
scored when Hunteman threw wild
trying to get him at third.
The commission last night ordered
the Independence League to finish its
schedule and certify a winner bv to-
morrow night, therefore the big Man
hattan-Kendall game has been moved
up to today. Should Kendall win a
double-header will be played tomorrow.
In case Manhattan loses today. the
schedule for tomorrow will be: ST. PAM

Nearly every one batted well, but
Kraft and Kinney led, the former get

TOMORROW-Sherwoo vs. North Caro-

Hamline only had eight men on the
field and forfeited to North Carolina.
This gives the Sherwood team first place
and today's game will decide the pen
nant.
North Carolina had at least fifteen
men on the field, and Manager Sands
gave the Hamline team until o'clock
to produce nine men.
This game was certainly a disappoint-
nent to the Sunday School League fans
as the Hamline team carries a good
many rOCters.
Sherwood will give a good account
of themselves if they win out, as the
boys will play good ball and are hard
hitters
Sherwood deserves great credit for It's

times in the first six games, but since

President O'Shea stated last night
that his league had had a good season,
and was in the best condition in every
way. He was very enthusiastic over
Cornelrs chances in the post-season
series, and thinks Cornell will have an
easy time.
For the last six weeks of the cam
paign, the teams of the league played
better ball than at any time during the
rccc. All OF the weaker ones strength
ened up. and the advent of Marines and

FUNNY SIGHTS IN FOREIGN SITES
Rangoon, Burma.


Dear Bill:
think Kipling has been large
ly responsible for the popularity
of Burma among the globe-trot-
ters. A fellow on the other side
of the world will get down a
volume of Kipling's poetry on a
cold winter night and reading
over "Mandalay" will decide that
IL there is a Paradise on earth 1t
is Burma, and also that he will
make a pilgrimage there at the
first opportunity. And l think
the poet has not exaggerated its
charms much, either. 1t is the
most beautiful and picturesque
country imaginable.
There are two sights which
visitors are told to see in Ran
COON IT, nothing else. One Is the
great Sheve Dagon Pagoda and
the other is the elephants at work
In the timber yards.
A conveyance which looks more
like a country mail wagon or a
milk wagon than a cab takes you
to the big pagoda. Long flights
of stairs lead up to the platform
on which the temple stands, and
all the way upon both sides Of
the stairway are shops of every
description. Candles to be light
ed by the devout before Buddha
and flowers for offerings are sold,
and in the same booth huge
cheroots are arranged to tempt
the female smokers.
The Burmese girls squat in
front of the Buddhas and pray
