FIENLE TO OPPOSE BELL
By BRYAN MORSE.

Bankers and Ninth are tackling each
other in the second game of the ser
les for the District baseball cham
pionship and the right to meet the
Richmond Grays team IN the intercity
series. The Bankers are more than
anxious to take today's battle, having
won the first and will endeavOr to
close out the seasons victories with
a win of the title today.
1t is probable that Chris Fienle will
be given a chance to try his skill
against the Ninth batters and he will
have to display a lot to better the
mark set by Hoffecker, the Maryland
Aggies star. who held the Ninth bat
ters TO three hits on Monday.
Ninth will nominate Bell or give
Ben Bryant a chance to go back into
the contest. The big fellow did fairly
well against the Bankers on Monday,
and with a bit better support with
the stick and in the field should turn
in a win for the Christians.
The E:ankers are making preparations
to make the aip to Richmond as they
believe the pennant practically safe.
A loss today would necessitate anotner
game on Friday, but none of the Bank
ers believe the series will run that long
as a win today will end the post-seoson
games of 1918.
