Sherp,00d,S Victory
Sets Fans Talking
Wins from Han1Line and Post-office Noteworthy
Feats-Andrews Team May Lose Box
Mainstay, Drummer. -.
By C, w. SWAN.

That the dope On the post-season series
will be upset has been shown already
and only two games have been played.
Very few amateur fans conceded a
post-season game to the pennant winners
of the Sunday School League, and the
Sherwood aggregation put it on Post
office Saturday at District League Park.
With Reds" Porter in form, Manager
Loves outfit will win more than one
game. This bunch of youngsters will
fight to the last and will prove trouble
some to Cornell and the Aioysius Club.
So look out for some hot battles.
1t is hard to see any team except the
American Security and Trust Company
in Division B of Section A. The Bankers
have a good, fast infield, sterling twirl-
ers, and. best of all. they play the game
from start to finish.
Soldier Drummer, II Shorty Rogers
can hold him up, may prove a hard
proposition to the bank clerks, but with
a man behind the bat that does not know
the speedy HEAVIER, Drummer will not be
very effective.
Then there is a possibility of Drummer
not being able to get leave from the
post. and should that be the case the
Canaries will be up against il for fair
Chism and Upton will have to do the
box duty then. Taken all in all, the
Bankers will just about be the team
that will face the winner of Division A,
Section A in the finals
Clyde Richmond, the pride of the Cor
nell Tigers. will face the Aloysius club
hatters to-day in the second game in
Division a, Section A of the post-sea-
son series.
Manager O'Connor will more than likely
send Bob Hummer to the mound in a
desperate attempt to stop the heavy-hit-
ting Paperhangers. This should be a bat
tie royal. as there is a great deal of
rivalry between these aggregations. Um-
pire Belts will be assisted in this game
by Dave Venable on the bases. The
game will be called promptly at Sis. and
the fans will have to hustle to Capital
City Park TO get seats for the fray.
The double win OF the Sherwood tribe
Saturday has set the town talking. Play
ing Hamline the deciding game of the
Sunday School League race, they walked
away from the Churchmen and won in a
walk. 10 TO g. Then they journeyed to
District League park and trounCed the
Post-Oftice aggregation, 3 to ?, in great
: Sexample of The national game.
From the looks of things at the present
time, the Naval Medical School team will
just about win the title in Section B. The
aggregation has one Of the best little
beavers in the District, namely, Jimmy
Rice. This twirler will work in the ma
jority of the games. and will prove
hard proposition to the batters Of the
Car Department and Southland tribes.
Members of the Southland team who
are eligible for pOst-season games:
Strother. Litchfield, Taylor, Ebert. Carr.
Hunnt. Wheatley, Blair, Beck. Spauld-
ing, De Clare. Beavers, Wynkott, Smith,
Gates, Grace, Riston, and Barton.
The Battle AK team, champions of
Richmond, who will face the winners Of
the title in the District, kept up their
winning streak Saturday by defeating the
Highlanders, another fast team in the
league. To date the Battle AK nine
has won I6 and lost l for a percentage
of 941. J. BOehling, their leading slug
ger, has a batting average of .543 for
seventeen games.
The Andrews team. in their new uni
forms, will parade to the Independence
League grounds to-day in automobiles
TO battle with the Manhattans. Should
Drummer be unable to twirl, Sim Chism
will more than likely toe the slab.
