is a o0 to i bet That Dotn fOSt-
office and the Bankers will not trim
the Tigers.
Manager Cornell win send Forest
Thompson to the mound against the
Bankers tomorrow, and red-hot bat
Tie can be looked for. Thompson Is
after the Bank Clerks scalp. and will
pitch his arm of TO land II. When he is
right. Thompson Is the best hurier In
the Dustrict, but as he has been trou-
bled with a sore arm the iasf Few
" eeks. he win hardly do his best work
tomorrow Cosch Moran will more than
likely use Chief Greene In the box. as
the Tigers defeated Feinle when he start
ed Should Moran pitch Feinle, Corneu
may switch to jackson.
Two, big surprises have been sprung
the present post-season series One was
the poor showing OF the Bankers and the
other the reversal Of form Of the POST
Office team Friday.
The Mailmen, after being hopelessly
outclessed in their first encounter with
the Pepco club, being beaten 10 to 8,
came back with a rush and handed the
Independence Leaguers the short end OF
a to score. Ferguson pitched one OF
his usual games, walking about dozen
and allowing i've hits. When Walter
does not pass a bunch. he is pounded
all over the lot When he issues few
free tickets, he holds the opposition
down to a few scattered bingles-
Charley Moran's Bankers have failed
to show the form which gave them the
title last fall In but one game have
the Bankers played their usual game
with that old pep" The dash has been
lacking. and their style OF play has
changed 10 great extent
In only one game during the series has
the Post-office club played real baseball.
and that was the last Pepco battle
Ferguson and Kraft worked together
like a piece of werl-oiled machinery, and
held the Electricians down rather well.
The Post-office infield failed to make
those costly boots which decided the
game with the Bankers. and the team
played great ball in every respect
The Cornell club. while composed of
the heaviest hitters in the District, has
not knocked the cover of a ball TO date.
The hitting of the Tigers has been very
weak, compared to what was expected.
In the last game against Pepco but
four hits were registered, two OF these
being pounded out by Billy Marceron,
the old standby.
On paper, the Tigers should trim any
club in the series. as there are old heads
on the list. men who know baseball,
and who can kill the ball. Cy MacDon-
aid failed in the last game, the first
time during the present series Gas
meyer is not hitting up to his standard,
and 1t may be that the Tigers Will, come
to life tomorrow, and pound that old
ball all over the lot
In looking over the games, it is seen
that the catchers have done mighty good
work But few stolen bases are regis
tered to that of last year, when to steal
second and third was not an uncommon
sight This year the boys are pegging
In great form, and the games have been
more closer.
Tomorrow G. P o. will have its
chance 20 cinch the Section title
Should the Printers trim the Park club,
then they will land that nag, while,
should Park be returned the winner,
Southern will play the Northern Associa-
ton champions Tuesday. II Park de-
feats Southern it will win the title. On
the other hand, II Southern wins, a
three-cornered tie will result
Buck Barton and Walter Hughes are
slnted to report to Manager Grifith at
American League Park tomorrow morn
ing. together with Dutch" MUNICH Grin
will look the youngsters over, and may
retain them for the remainder Of the
season. Munich Is almost sure to be
signed, as Mike Kahoe thinks well OF
him, and Griff has offered him a con-
tract.
Ty Cobb, the Detroit star. will umpire

between the Bandits, composed of the
stars of the Cornell club. and the CO.
