The championship in every amateur
league in the city will probably be de-
cided in another week. In ten days, al
the outside. the title winner In every cir
cult should be known. The clubs still
having a chance for the championship In
the different organizations will be placed
In a safe position or else will be thrown
out of the race entirely.
The Marquette League is the first % end
its season. 1t was decided two days age
to declare the schedule ended, which wos
done. The pennant was awarded IT, III.
Trinity club, which had placed itself In a
position at the top SO firmly that IT could
not have been ousted II the entire list OF
games had been gone through. The other
league In which the championship Is Vlr-
tually decided Is the East Washington
Sunday School. in which Ninth Stree,
Christians are the winners. They are In
a position from which the chances are ex-
tremely remote that they will lie hauled
down. First Presbyterian has a very cat
side chance to win, but it is very improb-
able that 1t will do so.
The Central and Federal leagues each
has a series to play between the winners
of two sections OF the schedule. 1t is
fairly certain that Petworth and Fair
montS will meet in the final series in the
Federal circuit. Petworth was dccla: ID
the winner in the first part of the scned-
ule with right to compete against the
winner of the second half for the cham
pionship. The Fairmont club is well in
the lead now and will likely stay there.
The Sherwood nine took the championship
in the first half of the Central League
schedule, and the winner i'll this half VIII
probably be decided in a few days. A
series of three or five games Will b.
played between the winning clubs in these
leagues. and they should be completed IN
ten days at the outside.
The pennant in the Departmental cir
cult will be determined within the next
three days. Agriculture and Interior are
now tied for t1rst place, and they will
meet in a three.game series to break the
evenness of things. These games will
take place the first part of this week,
Monday, Tuesday ana Wed1es lay. The
championship in the Capital City League
is not yet determined, though the odds Ia
vor the American Security ana Trust nine.
Cornell must win ali four Of the remain
ing contests to beat out the Bankers, and
that is not an easy task to anticipate by
any means. The Bank team nas had the
margin on the Paperhange-s in the first
five games played to the extent that 1t
has won four out of five games, and il Is
hardly to- be expected that the latter will
suddenly show such superiority as would
entitle them to turn about AND cop like
NUMBER. however, SOTneu mas u DunCQ
of players who are liable tc beat any ball
club at almost any time, which is why the
Bankers have no license 10 betake upon
themselves a greater-than thou air.
While the series in the Capital City and
Central leagues may be slightly pro-
longed. IL is almost certain that another
ten days will find the championship rest
ing securely with one team in each cir
cult and everything cleaned up for the
post-season series.
The games between Agriculture and
Interior for the championship of the De-
partmental League Will be played tomor-
row. Tuesday and Wednesday, and Ii
have ever watched a series OF games in
that circuit will attend. The fol-
lowers Of the two clubs num-
Der many, and all will prob
the general interest is great. and many
will go simply for that reason. Any
spirited contest Is attractive. and unless
the signs miss, there Is apt to be a great
three contests, whichever number may
be played.
Charley Kloppmeyer, the manager of
scented Gandil with q machine last week.
used to be student at the Maryland
Agricultural College. and was for two
years q regular on the foot ball team.
he played ana tdCkie, anu was
one OF the best linemen on the squad. He
was . clever player both on the defense
and offense. and was mentioned for
place on the All-State eleven.
The games in the Departmental League
in the won and lost column now are Is
victories and defeats for Agriculture
and Interior. Both clubs had an extra
game to play, but that was called of
and the series arranged for the first half
of this week because II Is practically a
certainty that the two leaders would
have won in each instance.
There will be meeting Of the Federal
League officials this morning. The
object is to determine what Is to be done
relative to the final series between the
Fairmonts and Petworth. According to
expressed opinion the schedule will be
declared closed and the series between
the two clubs started Immediately. There
appears little chance for any other club
TO beat out Fairmont in this half OF the
schedule. and it is useless to continue
the schedule with no real object.
Bob" Murphy. manager of the Agri-
culture nine, says that his club Is going
to win two straight games in the series
with Interior. He shows no hesitation
in saying that he thinks his team is
the stronger. The Interior boys are not
saying much relative to the contests. but
the chances are that they are going to
make a great nSnI 10 HHlSu III lEOuC 10
get back the place they have held during
the entire season.
The Hyattsville Athletic Club failed to
show up for the game ii had scheduled
with the Cornell team yesterday, and for
feited.
The vigilants will play the Maryland
Meter Club OF Baltimore at the Vigilant
Park this afternoon. Two contests will
take place. There is a possibility that
Wilson, who was with the Nationals a
short while this summer. will work one
of the games for the Baltimore nine
johnson, the Cornell finger. will be in the
box for the local club in one OF the con-
tests while Buck Becker will hurl in the
other. Several members Of the Bank
team will play with the Vigilants. Morris,
Hayes, Shipley. Zachary and Rawlings
being booked to appear. Chick Gandil
will do the umpiring.

between the Mohawks of the Eastern
