The American Security and Trust
team, champions of the Capital CITY
League, is today the winner of the sec
ton A contests in the post-season Sc
ries for the city title and will be nomi-
mated for the finals against the winner
Of section B.
In defeating the Petworth team yes
terday the Bankers cinched the section
A flag. and could lose the remaining
games on the schedule without dropping
from first place. The scheduled game
today with the Trinity club. Of the Mar
uuette League, should be a practice
game for the Bankers at the Marquette
League grounds as no difficulty is eX-
pected from the Georgetown tribe.

tune moment in the last round, scoring
four runs and cinching the victory.
In the section B game Yesterday
Ninth ran against a Stumbling block in
the shape OF Emmanuel, of the North
west sunday School League. Captain
GessfOrd's team was in form, and, after
being defeated by Mohawk the day be
fore, came back against Ninth dill
ferent team. The score was 4 TO in
seven innings, Emmanuel tying the
count in the final inning.
Emmanuel has had several defeats au-
ministered by weaker teams. and the
showing against Ninth yesterday was
nothing short of marvellous. Good
fielding, a classy brand OF pitching and
some clever baseball contrived to stand
off the East Washington Sunday School

the tide of the count. In the final frame
Emmanuel came forth with the tying

afternoon.
