At the most, only three more games
will be played in section A. after which
the intersection series will begin. AS
has been announced, the Cornell Company
plays twice, and if it. wins both times the
series will be ended, but If 1t loses one
of the contests third will be necessi-
tated between 1t and the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company to decide the tie
which would then exist for championship
honors.
Whether or not the Cornell Company
will win thestwo games 1t has scheduled
and not give. the Pepco aggregation an
her chance for, the title is question
that cannot be answered until after they
have been played. 1t is certain that a
great effort will be put forth to accom-
plish just that. The Electricians are a
more dangerous combination than any
other in. the series as far as Cornell is
concerned. and if the Paperhangers were
compelled to meet them again in a final
game to decide the title there would be
nothing ike the surety that they would
finish in front that there is that they will
win the two final regularly scheduled
games If they put forth their best efforts.
1t is more than likely that Thompson
will be pitched by Cornell against the
Trust Company nine this afternoon. He
has proved himself the most dependable
man the Paperhangers have. and he
should be the logical choice. He has not
worked since last Thursday, and. having
had a good rest, ought to be at his best
The American Security is the more dan
gerous club against Cornell. 1t being a
much stronger combination than Post
Office. Despite the fact that Post Office
beat the Pepco nine, the game was not
a true criterion of its strength, and it is
q a "a a
two leaders. The Bankers being the most
feared aggregation, there is little doubt
the Paperhangers will make their one big
effort against them.
If the Cornell team beats the Bankers
today there is not one chance in f1ve
that the Mailmen will be able to prolOng
the series by taking fall out of it. Post
Office has not the team to beat Cornell
under ordinary conditions, and the cir
cumstances under which such q game
would be played would be no more than
ordinary.
Whatever may be the final result, it
would appear that it hinges almost en-
tirely on the result of the meeting today
between the Bankers and Cornell. A
game just as we'll and fiercely contested
as any in the series will probably be the
result of the meeting Of the two organiza-
tions. The Bankers will stop the Paper
hangers If they can possibly do SO, and
the Paperhangers, in turn, do not Intend
to be stopped, no matter what the condi-
tions.
