What a beautiful race the chase for
the News-Times pennant race has de-
velOped into during the past four
weeks can only be explained by glanc-
| ing at the standing OF the clubs which
conveys the information that three
clubs. the Ball Bands, Singers and
Studebakers, are tied for first place IN
the Factory league.
The principal reason for the exist
ing order Of things is the South Bend
Chilled Plow Co. The PloW Boys did
not win a single game OF the first
eight played and were voted hopeless
tail-enders. But the worm has turn
ed and the Plow Boys are now the
worst feared club in the league. and
| they are no longer occupying the cell
lar position IN the percentage column.
It was the Plow Boys who took the
| Singers into camp last Saturday and
made the present tie possible and
these same Plow Boys can do q lot
more damage before the curtain IS
rung There are only three more
weeks of the schedule on the calen-
dar and those Of the leading clubs
who are not scheduled against the
Pillow Boys have much 10 be thankful
| for.
Studebakers meet the Plow Boys at
| Singers park saturday afternoon and
| if the latter are as mischievous as they
/ were against the Singers a week ago
! it is apt To put the WagOnmakers out
| Of the pennant race. Two weeks ago
when these two teams met, Him.. OF
| the Pillow Co. was sick and the team
was without a catcher. The battle
was very one sided, but with a solid
war footing Casaday's boys hope 10
reverse matters at Singers park sat
urday afternoon.
This weeks schedule presents an
other lot of opportunities for the sec
ond division clubs 20 tantaliZe the
, leaders, as all three games are paired
Oft in this manner for the day.
1t is believed that the Ball Bands
are immune from defeat. at least to-
day, as they play the Watchmakers
at Mishawaka. The latter have been
playing splendid bail. but have been
nosed out by one ard two runs more
| often than any other club in the
| league. Besides the Ball Bands have
not lost a single game this season
since Davis was secured 70 do the
pitching for them.
! With Dodges playing at their own
picnic and having their game trans
! fered TO SpringbrOOk park may spell
disaster for the Sewing Machine men.
! The picnic bug is treacherOus as the
! Plow Boys learned 10 their sorrow at
/ the Stude baker picnic two weeks ago
at Berrien Springs. Dodses have not
won a game for moons and are more
than due 10 coin one. but whether
! they viii be able 10 turn the trick re-
mains TO be seen.
Only two more weeks Of play and
| the first season OF the Factory league
Will have been completed. There are
number of very imI ortant games on
the docket yet as the leaders, with
the exception Of the Ball Bands-Stu-
debaker combination. meet each 9TH
er. Some one Of the leaders must win
or lose, which is certain 10 make de-
Gliding changes for the finish. The
| season may be in the shadow OF
death, but there is a lot OF sport and
excitement before the funeral.
