BREEZY NOTES CONCERNING
 LOCAL SEMI-PR0 PLAYERS
Fast Local Teams May Have Series 10 De-
 eide City Championship

able newspaper controversy over who is entitled to meet the Rocks for the City championship. Certainly the West Ends have no prior claim to the privilege. The Yosts held the West Ends to tie early in the sea- son and yet the Yosts are a poor second in the City League. The St. Joseph's gave the West Ends a good trimming and the West Ends dupli- cated the feat on the Joes later. So come boys get together and settle the tie.
 In previous seasons the West Ends have claimed that they held the championship and were the best in- dependent team in the state. The fans regard that holding the cham pionship from last year joke. Ger tainly if the Athletics do not win the pennant in the American League this season they can not compete for the Worlds Championship: Likewise with the West Ends. They can not compete for the honors until they show their class over all other inde- pendent teams. This season the St. JoSeph's have played independent and certainly have shown as much class as Manager Ritcheps class and cer- tainly are giving the public some good baseball by bringing the strong est teams in the state here. Quite the opposite with the West Ends, Man ager Ritchel disbands his team until he finds an out of town manager who is willing to pay forty dallars for a game and he gets busy and scrapes up team under the title of the West Ends.
 Last season it will be we'll remem- bered how the West Ends were idle (dead) for six weeks until the City League was over and then demanded a series. In other words they came back to life when they saw some coin. Come RitcheI if you intend to that you have a team and play a few games to prove it. out at the West End Park.

 By their win over the Crane No.f z team last Saturday the Locos cinehed the pennant and even though de1eal- ed by Crane No. 1 next Saturday they will- still lead by one game. Tqe schedule this season brings an early close to the league due to the fact that rain has not interfered with any scheduled games. The Locos III Win ming have at last achieved thelr arpDi. tions. Since joining the Industrial League. Manager Lundberg has en- deavored to pull them under the wire in the lead but has always lost out by a game or so. Giving creGt where it is due, the Locos have a grand batting team, not a wonder fully heavy hitting crowd but they possess the ability to bunch their hits so as to bring about results.
 No team has been able to- win the pennant two successive seasons. Crane No. 2 won two pennants, but not in consecutive years.
 As 1t is impossible to beat out the Locos, the Black Rocks likewise are sure of the City League pennant un- less the directors see fit to extend the season and it is doubtful if the Rocks could be headed off.
 St. Josephs' win over the Kim berly team of New Haven puts them right before the public. again. The Kimberly nine recently defeated the strong Annex team of New Haven True the St. Josephs were obliged to present the strongest lineup of the season. but then it is merely signifi- cant of the talent that they possess in their membership.
 It might be a good stunt for the St. Joseph's and West Ends to play off the tie which now exists between the two and let the, winner meet the Black sRorks.s It. will Save consider

If Griffith should fail to overtake the Red Sox he can at least figure on a flying start next season with team that should be contender all the way.

PLAN TO REPAIR
 GRADE CROSSINGS
Ordinance Drafted to Compel All Crossings to Be Kept in Good
 Condition

The city attorney, Captain Romaine Boyd, is investigating an ordinance sub mitted to the board of city commissions CTS seeking to compel the various rail- roads that enter the city to keep the grade crossings in repair so as to be passable to all vehicles.
 The ordinance gives the city commis- sion the power to designate whether the crossing shall be paved, cherted, slagged or fixed up by any other material tha; will enable the travelling public to tra- verse the crossings safely and without damage to. the vehicle.
 Many of the crossings are in good re- pair so far as the street is concerned but some of them are almost impossible from the fact that little or no attempt has been made to fill in between the track. which renders them dangerous both to life and property
 The ordinance was introduced a few days ago. and will probably come before the meeting of the commission next Fri day with the findings of the city attor- uev
