Post Season Series.
SECTION A.
Game Today.

A tie in the post-season series seems
assured today with the possibility of a
win for Pepco. present leader in the
race. The defeat Of Cornell Company
by the Bankers yesterday somewhat
dooms the Tigers chances for the PEN
nant today, as Postoffice must be de-
feated to obtain a tie with the power
company team.
In order to establish a tie with Pepco,
Cornell must defeat the Postoffice team
in today's game. Ferguson. who whip
ped the Pepco aggregation last week
will in all probability be worked against
Cornell this afternoon, and If yester-
days game is any indication, the Cor
nell hitters will be forced to extend
themselves to get a victory.
In the event that Cornell Company
defeats the Postoffice team today the
tie for the first place position in section
will be played off on either Thurs
day or Friday. meeting Of the post
season series committee will be called
tonight If Cornell defeats the Postoffice
team.
Park is leading the section c teams
today, and will meet Southern this af
ternoon at the Railroad Y. NJ. C. A.
