INTERIOR TODAY
First Game of Big Series for
Championship of Depart
mental League.
MORRIS, MYERS AND
SHIPLEY HIT WELL
Get Eight Safeties in Games
Between vigiliants and
Maryland Meters.
BY n. c. BYRD.

The series which will decide the cham
pionship of the Departmental League
is to begin today. Agriculture and In
terror are the contending teams, and
they will meet in three contests. The
second and third games will be played
tomorrow and Wednesday. It is likely
that Eidsness will pitch for Agrfcul-
ture. while Flannery is the probable
choice of Interior
Which Of the two teams will win is
something that is almost impossible to
predict. OF course, a summation of their
past work might be made and con-
lecture given as to the probable result,
but that would be about as accurate
as one could hope to make any assertion
that one or the other club would be the
victor. Agriculture has won a majority
of games in which it has figured against
Interior this season, having taken three
out of four, bu. Interior must have a
very capable combination else it would
not have stayed al the top of the stand
ing all season. Agriculture is confident
and so is Interior. That is about all
that can be said with any degree of
accuracy. and it is certainly all that will
be known until after the series is fin
ished.

up five times in the first game. and got
two safeties. Myers was up three times

two safe whacks. 1t is rather interesting

The Vigilants broke even i'm the two
games losing the first and winning the
second. Becker pitched the losing con-
test and Johnson the one that was won.
The following games are scheduled in
the amateur leagues:

Cornell and the Bankers are scheduled
to meet again tomorrow. 1t is probable
! that the game Will be the most sp.rtedly
contested of the year. Both clubs will
fight tooth and nail. fguratively speak
ing. to get the long end of the score.
The losing of the game for Cornell will
mean that the odds against it will be
so greatly increased that it will be only
very outside chance it will have left
to win. On the other hand, the Bank
lads know that IL they win their task
Will not be as hard as 1t looks now
Agriculture would probably be harder
club to beat in the post-season series
than Interior. The majority of the Agri-
pionship series, and they would more
than likely play up to their regular
standard. There are three men on the
team who played in the post-season
: games last year. Murphy. Kraft and
Kerr. Murphy was with Pepco. which
Won the title: Kraft and Kerr did some
excellent work for the Post Office nine
Around them is built the Agriculture
team at present, and they would be a
good nucleus to have as mainstay in. a
series such as the post-season is likely
to be this year.
This lad Saddler, who pitched the win
ming game for the Maryland Meter Com
pany yesterday against the Vigilants.
must be rather clever performer. It
Is said that he has not lost a game this
year. and has won fifteen. He must
have something on the ball to have ac-
complished that else the Meter Com
pany has been playing against some very
weak clubs.
There is not much to all this talk
about arranging games with the cham
pion amateur club of Cleveland OF
course, it is a fine dream to think of
having the best amateur club in each
city in the east and middle west meet
and maybe that will come to pass some
day, but it is not likely. 1t would take
small fortune to finance such SERIES
a far greater amount of money than
could be hoped for out Of the gate re-
ceipts. 1t is hardly probable that any
of the amateur moguls themselves would
be willing to spend something like
thousand dollars to play one or two
games against an amateur club in Cleve-
land or Chicago.
