CLEVELAND. Ohio. April 27.-Larry

ond. Manager Davis wasn't satisfied with

Herman Bronkie will remain at third
base for q few days at least. II his work
measures up to the standard he will re-
main there indefinitely. The opportunity
is now offered Bronkie to make a regular
major league berth.
The primary reason for shifting Larry
to first at such early notice was an in
jury to Manager Davis hands, or. rather,
injuries. Davis is not In playing condi-

Some allowance must be made for the
fact that Business was naturally nervous
and unable to do as well as 1t might had
1t been through the ordeal before.
The Business nine is composed OF fall
hitters. with nearly every man in the
batting order exceptionally fast. Be-
sides that, the men are for the most
part small, and hard to pitch to. which
makes the team as a whole much more
effective on the offense. There were
flashes of work in the game yesterday
which showed the Stenographers to be a
better fielding team than the average.

umpire gave the Western team the

games. Central right now probably has
the strongest team In the series.
Georgetown beat Seton Hall yesterday
by 6-to-3 score. Ffenle, pitching for
