WILL HAVE TO BEAT CORNELL
TO WIN POST-SEASON SERIES
Result of Yesterdays Contest Would Cause
1t to Appear That the Paperhangers Will
at Least Be the Runner-up at the Finish.

ball was hit which rolled slowly down to
second The second baSeman even made
a try to get Cy going to third.
There is a great deal more interest at
tached to the game today between the
Pence and American Security and Trust
teams than has been in any contest this
year in the amateur circuits. 1t appears
that everybody has developed the idea
that the Trust Company and Electricians
are favorites for the championship, and
they are anxious to watch the first meet
ing of the two.
1t was reported last night that Fury
would take part in the games in the post
season series with Pepco. If so, then
the chances of that nine will be greatly
enhanced. The Electricians will not have
to break the combination that has been
exceptionally successful for the last
month and a half, nor will they have to
dispense with the services of a 400 hit
ter, either of which would probably cost
them the best part of their opportuni-
ties to win out.
Barton will undoubtedly be the choice
of Manager Gray to do the mound work,
While either Green or Fienle will pitch
for the Trust Company. Barton should do
well. while it matters little whether Green
or Fienle work against him as far as real
effectiveness goes, either of them being
good enough to hold his own with the
best in amateur ranks.
The games in the post-seasOn series will
henceforth be started earlier, the hour
being set at 5:15 instead of 5:3O. 1t was
found that in order to get in the nine in
nings it would be necessary to begin the
contests earlier.
