Plow Co. at Mlshawaka.
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
taii-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.
1t was the Plow Boys who took the
Singers into camp last Saturday and
made the present tie possible and
these same Pillow Boys can do a lot
more damage before the curtain is
rung. There are only three more
weeks of the schedule on the caIen-
dar and those OF the leading clubs
who are not scheduled against the
Pillow Boys have much TO be thankful
for.
May Upset Race.
Studebakers meet the Pillow Boys at
Singers park Saturday afternoon and
If the latter are as nischievous as they
were against the Singers a week ago
10 M r. .tat he 20 a trar ont
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 Cassaday's boys hope TO
reverse matters at Singers park Sat
urday afternoon.
This weeks schedule presents an
other lot of opportunities for the sec
Ond division clubs to tantaliZe the
leaders, as all three games are paired
of 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 Misnawaka- The latter have been
playing splendid ball. but have been
nosed by one and 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 10 do the pitching for
them.
With Dodges playing at their own
picnic and having their game trans
feded to Springbrook park may spell
disaster for the Sewing Machine men.
The picnic bug is treacherous as the
Plow Boys learned TO their sorrow az
the Studebaker picnic two weeks ago
at Berrien Springs. DOdges have not
won a game for moons and are more
than due TO coin one. but whether
ahey will be able TO turn the trick re-
mains to be seen.
Two More Weeks.
Only two more weeks of play and
the first season OF the Factory league
viii have been completed. There are
a number OF very important 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 20 make de-
Gliding changes for the finish. The
season may be in the shadow of
death. but theTe,is lot OF sport and
excitement before the funeral
