Every game played Yesterday in the
post season series went according to form,
and the result of each was Just what was
expected on the form shown in the pre-
vious contests In each of the four
games played the result was just as pre-
dcted it would be, providing the teams
held true to the individual ability shown
during their regular league season.
In the two games played in section A 1t
was not thought that either Sherwood OF
the Post Office would be able to get away
with the victory. as neither had shown
sufficient strength during the season to
warrant its winning from the club
against which it was playing. The POST
Office team lost to the Aloysius club by
q 4-to-1 score while the Sherwood team
was defeated by the Cornell nine by the
score of IL to 5.
In section B of class A the Bankers
made another runaway of the game. VIM
ming from the Andrews team, to ). In
class B the Naval Medical School, with
Jimmy Rice in the box, had little trou-
BILE getting away with the Car Depart
ment by the same tally that was regis
tered by the Bankers against the An
drews nine.
The games yesterday showed that If
there is any team in class A which is to
have chance against the Cornell COM
pany it is the Aloysius Club, there not
seeming to be much chance for either the
Sherwood or Post Office mines to register
a victory over the Paperhangers. The
game that Aloysius put up against the
Post Office just about throws the Mall
pionship possibilities go. Post Office has
yet to meet Cornell. and 1t is pretty
safe bet to say the Paperhangers win,
and three defeats against club In the
post-season series means but one thing
that 1t Is out of the running.
Sherwood showed its real strength yes
terday and played just about the game of
which it is capable, and at that it put up
a classy article. considering the fact
that it was against much older and
much more experienced aggregation of
ball players. 1t was not expected that
the Sunday School leaguers would come
out with a victory yesterday, although
it was thought that they would by
in which they got away with the Mail
men. The Cornell team is a different
proposition, though, from the nine pre-
sented by Post Office.
If the Sherwood team does not win an
other game in the post-season series 1t
may be considered as having. made a
great record. There is no base ball team
playing in the local amateur circuits that
deserves more commendation than do
the champions of the Sunday School
League. Although playing at the bottom
of the ladder for almost the greater part
OF the season, they never gave up nope,
and by playing consistent ball, after the
Ninth Street club dropped out, they grad
ually came to the front. and in the last
game of the season took the champion
ship from the Hamline club.
Both Manager Love and Rhodes. the
CAPTAIN of the team. should come in for
their share of the credit, and that share
should amount to great deal. Two sea-
sons past Mr.. Love had the same club IN
the Sunday School League, and he stuck
through the year. winning but two games
out of the twenty-four played. After such
a record he deserved to win pennant
this season Rhodes took charge of the
team about the middle of this season,
and although it was in last place at the
time he secuted around and signed up
bunch OF new material that benefited
the team SO much that ii pulled out or
the hole and brought a cellar club into
the limelight as champions
"cy" MacDonald's work around first
base in the games now being played Is
much better than at any time during the
season just ended. The former George
town player is fielding the ball in the
superb style that made him famous a. as
one of the best collegiate players In the
game four years ago. and he is also
hitting better than at any period since
he was regularly breaking down the
left-field fence in Winchester With
Charley Moran Macdonald forms the
main offense of the Cornell team, while
on the defense he has had something on
any man who has opposed Him in his
position.
Lynch. who allowed Post Office but FIVE
hits Yesterday and won his game to i,
will probably be the choice of the
Aloysius clus when next it lines up
against the Cornell Company. Lynch,
while he can hardly be termed con-
sistent pitcher stands more chance OF
beating the Paperhangers than does
either OF the other twirlers who can De
sent against them. The Georgetown
| man when he Is right Is right. and there
are mighty few who have anything on
: : was shown in a measure by the way ne
pitched yesterday. but at that, he did
not work up to the form Of which he Is
capable.
Southland Will meet the Car Department
today in the class series. and it is like
| ly that the Railroaders will strike an
other snag. The Southland aggregation
\ is a good hitting team besides having a
| mighty good twirler TO do the flinging Tor
4 il. Ebert Is liable to make trouble Tor
any of the teams to which he may be
opposed.
| The Aloysius and Sherwood teams will

will probably pitch Hummer. while Noone
will work for the Sherwood nine. kum-
lmer. IL he Is in FORM should win his game
Noone may be a stumbling block for the
! lChurchmen. but IL they wait him out in
stead of taking a swing at everything that
comes along he will be much easier to
beat than otherwise.
| Aloysius did not prove strong hitting
/ club yesterday by any means, II being
a BILE to register but FIVE hits off Ryan, and
i two OF those were doubtful. II the Church
linen had little stronger offense they
would prove a mighty dangerous factor
to any OF the clubs with championship
| a aspirations. As II is they are likely to
Imake things warm for some of them. but
1.-TWO more good hitters to top the batting
order of the nine would add greatly to the
teams efficiency.
The American Security and Trust Com.
tpany might as well be declared the win
lner in section without any more ado
THE playing Of the games is little more
THAN a formality. as before they begin the
Bankers are conceded to be almost sure
winners.
