Al far as the final outcome il concern
ed. the pennant winners could be declared
in i've leagues now and the pennants
awarded. The Government, Capital City,
East Washington Sunday School, Column
bia and Departmental are the circuits in
which teams are so far outclassing the
others that they are. 1t might be said. alb
solutely sure OF winning the champion
ship.
In the Capital City Leagu there is not
the least doubt in the world that the
Cornell club will be awarded the pen
nant when the season may be declared
,ended-whenever that may be. There Is
no other club in the league which COM
pares with the Paperhangers in real play
ing strength and 1t is not to be supposed
that the clubs to be taken in will be as
strong as the ones disbanded.
There lis no club in the Columbia
League which has chance to beat out
the American Security and Trust Com
pany. The Bankers. while they took the
lead in the race only a short time ago. are
much the superior of any of the otner
teams The Government Printing once
has won every game played IN the 1oN-
eminent League, and is conceded the
championship.
ont in the East Washington Sunday
School League the fight is only for sec
ond place. the Ninth Street CHRISTIANS
having made a runaway of the race Tor
the leadership. There Is not one cna ,,Se
in a million that any Of the other CUPS
will overtake that team. Also Post once
will win the Departmental The Maiinlen
also have gone out in front with Such
long lead il seems Impossible Tor any
other club to get up on even terms again.
This is not an attempt to declare the
season ended in any OF the leagues, put
simply a statement based on the really
far superior form shown up 10 TINS

The Capital City League makes out
new schedule about every other Week or,
at least. so it seems Inc organl|a.iulIl

strenuous efforts of two men. That II
will finish the season, though, Seems
certain. Another temporary scheouie mas

weeks at which time. so 1t Is reported,
another club is expected to enter. Inc

The Northern Stars won from the Lof-
fer club yesterday, leaders in the In
dependence League. by a score OF 3 to !.
Thompson, who did the pitching for the
Stars held the opposing hitters practi-
cally helpless and won his game in an
easy sort of fashion. He allowed but
three hits and struck out ten men.
The following games are scheduled to
be played in the amateur leagues today:
Capital City League-Cornell VS.. Brent
wood.

ley.

Government League-Interior VS.. War.

Southern.
Marquette League-Printers VS.. Medicos.
One of the games is bound to prove ex-
ceptionally interesting. not only to watch
but because of the result The Potomac
Electric Power Company will meet the
Loff1er club, and the two teams are hav-
ing it out for the leadership. Lofiler has
been leading the league since the season
opened, and what it will do today will
show how it compares with the strength
ened Pepco club. If Pepco wins this aft
ernoon there Is little question about its
being favored to win the championship
