Pctworth and the Bankers will meet
tomorrow in the game which will decide
the championship i'm section of the
post-season series. This is. that will be
the deciding contest provided these two
clubs do not nose any of their games
with the other two teams. or course
besides the contest mentioned. Petworth
meets Interior and Trinity again. while
the Bankers have to play Trinity.
The Petworth club has a chance to win
the championship, and it will put forth
its greatest efforts. With kidwell pitch
ing the Federal League champions have a
chance In any game I'm which they figure
OF course, the odds will be against them,
but that will only mean it will be all
the greater honor to win. Just VINO VIII
pitch against the Petworth club Is not
known. and no selection will be made
until the men aare on the field.
The Bank team won the first game
between the two clubs, but that Is not
saying for a surety that 1t Will take the
second. Although Interior does not class
up anywhere near the Bankers, which
was shown Saturday yet 1t managed 70
win the opening contest of the series. IL
the Trust Company players go into the
Petworth game tomorrow with the same
spirit they did In that first meeting with
Interior there is more than possibility
that the same kind of result will be had.
Let Petworth once get a lead, and. with
Kidwell doing the hurting, it will be
mighty hard job to beat 1t.
\ great deal of surprise has been ex-
pressed, especially last Saturday. that
the Interior club was able to beat the
Bankers in the first game of the series.
People have been wondering how that
ever happened. 1t would be hard to as
sign real definite reason for the victory
of the Departmental Leaguers over a
stronger club. other than to say that 1t
was probably due to combination OF
circumstances.
The Bankers had finished series Of
hard games that week with one of the
strongest clubs i'm the city for the league
championship and had been SO success
full that they entered the game with In
terror. which was considered generally
as being a weaker combination. over
confident. and after having relaxed from
the previous strain. The result was that
not more than one or two players put
up their usual game.
The game scheduled in section for
today is to be played between Trinity
and Petworth and the Mo1awks and
Emmanuel will play in section B.

BENTON FARMER INJURED.

Anthony LeMay farmer residing
a few miles east of Foley, was the
victim of a very, serious accident the
early part of this week, when he sus-
tanned five fractures of the jaw as a
result of kick of two-year-old colt,
says Fridays Journal Press.
The accident occurred in the evening
about z o'clock when LeMay was
leading the colt to the barn after it
had ben in the pasture during the
day. Shortly after LeMay reached
the barn the colt turned about sharp
ly and kicked, striking the hoof di-
rectly against LeMay's jaw. The man
was knocked to the ground in an I'M
conscious condition, in which he re-
manned for nearly 48 hours. ~ g..
The doctor who dressed the mans
wounds said that besides the bruises
and general shock one would receive
from such an accident, LeMay had
suffered fractures of the jaw bone in
five different places. According to
reports the man is still in a very ser
ious condition but relatives are now
looking for his recovery.
