By Il. C. BYRD.

The defeat administered to the Bankers
team by the Interior nine yesterday
causes it to appear that there is likely
to be some stirring contests before the
end of the post-season series. Although
the Trust Company nine has been gen.
orally picked to take the title rather
easily. it was shown yesterday by the
Departmental League champions that 1t
can be beaten at times without a great
deal of trouble, and that very thing is
make the other clubs play harder ball
against the Capital City League title
holders.
If the Interior nine has caused big
upset In the general dope on the series.
there is still a possibility that some of
the other clubs will do the same thing.
The work of the Departmental League
nine was not of any higher grade than
some of the other mines are going to
show. The play of that club yesterday,
while it was good. enough to win. was
not above the average, and it is liable to
hit some snags before the end of the
series. and some of the other clubs look
to stand good show as did Interior
to beat out the Bank nine. That Pet
worth club is liable to be a stumbling
block for somebody in the series in sec
ton A. and the game that Sherwood put
up against Ninth indicates that 1t will
have a chance to win in the next encoun-
ter between the two clubs.
The work of Fred Tansill in center field
for the Interior club yesterday was ex-
ceptional, to say the least Three fly balls
We're caught by him that were extremely
difficult. His first attempt came near
being a. dismal failure. but he made good
on it finally. Myers came through with
line drive to center field and Tansill
came i'm under the ball, slightly mis-
"a foo< or
the ground and speared the ball with one
hand. He came near dropping it, but
finally held it. On another fly to right
center he went over. and really made an
easy catch out of one that was rather
hard. The other play was the best of the
three. Riddle hit low line drive to left
center that looked good for two bases.
Tansill came In on dead run and caught
the ball not more than six inches of the
ground There were men on the bases
at the time, and it is probable that the
play saved the game for Interior.
Tansll is about as clever outfielder
and is about as fast as is generally seen.
world than the Ninth Street Christians
about winning the championship. The
players of that club, to man, believe
that they are going to be the District
champions when the final contest is
played this fall, and there is no doubt
about their having chance Unless the
Bankers can brace and win in section A.
Ninth will at least be on even terms with
the contender in the final play-off be-
tween the two sections
1t seems that every time a club is pick

the post-season series il gets a,good wal
Looping before it gets very far. Practically
everybody conceded the cham ionship to

even before a single game was played,
yet that club lost on both occasions.

capable outfield playing amateur ball.
