1ouay is the dig udy III the DEPART
mental League. Agriculture and Interior
are to meet in the contest which may de-
eide the championship. 1t is almost GER
tain that the largest crowd that has
watched a game in that circuit this sea-
son will be present.
The Aggies seem confident that they
will win the game, which will give them
the opportunity to meet Interior in an
other contest to decide the tie which
will exist Interior feels just as safe
that the Aggies cannot take two games
in succession from them, and thereby
beat it out for the title.
Eidseness, who is the only pitcher in the
league to defeat Interior this season. will
probably start in the box for Agriculture.
He has two victories to his credit over
Interior, and it is generally thought by
the followers of the Aggies that he will
be able to secure another. 1t is possible,
though, that just the opposite will be
true, although some pitchers can. go
along forever. almost against the same
club, and never lose. Flannery, who has
been Interiors most successful hurler.
will be in the box for that club. His
work has been consistent and has meas
ured up we'll with the best in the league.
The American Security and Trust team
now has such a lead in the Capital City
League that Cornell will have to win
three out of four of the remaining four
games scheduled between the two clubs
In order to secure a tie; provided, of
course, one of the two weaker clubs
does not score a victory over it. II
the Bankers, then their position will
be considerably shaken If. however.
the Trust company nine can get by with
out being defeated by any other team
excepting Cornell, it has an excellent
chance to finish first. If no other cub
can win from the Bankers but Cornell
1t means that the Paperhangers will have
to win three out of four games to get
tie. making four out of five they
would have to take to win out. That
The work Of Hayes at short for the
Bankers yesterday was exceptional. He
played brilliantly from the first inning
on. There was never moment when he
was not in the game for all he was
worth, and his work was the best of the
season in the position. Hayes has not
been going any too well in the last three
games, but he struck his stride yester-
day. and on two occasions pulled his
team out of what might have proved to
be a dangerous hole by splendid plays
His first especially good PLAY came when
n
switched after it, and. throwing with the
same motion, got his man at first by a
close margin. His other Ineritorious eff
fort came when Martin hit the ball at
Chris Fienle SO hard that Fienle could
not stop IT. 1t caromed off his shins
bounding to one side OF hayes. Hayes
threw himself fiat on the ground, got
the ball and, throwing from what was
almost a sitting position, got Martin at
first.
When the intield.of the Bankers practi-
cally lost a game for Fienle about two
weeks ago, the press accounts were par
ticularly vivid in detailing it's poor play.
Yesterday, when brilliant work on its part
gave the Bankers victory, there was
not much said about it. There We're times
yesterday when Fien1e was hit hard, but
splendid work on the part of the inner
defense kept men off the bases. Hayes
made two plays ON balls that ordinarily
would have gone for. hits. and Mcdonald
pulled off a stunt which resulted in
double play, which helped whole lot.
Nobody wasrs down at the time, either
Again, Riddle went off first base. got
hard hit grounder, and threw to second
in time to get the man who was on first.
There was nobody down i'll those cases
and had those fine bits of play not been
made 1t is more than possible there would
have been a different ending TO the game.
All this is not detracting a whit from
the excellent work done by Fienle, either
1t was simply excellent work, backed by
other excellent work. which combination
gave the Trust Company team its most
valuable victory of the season
There were several members of the
Ninth Street Christians Oh hand at the
game Yesterday between Cornell and the
Bankers. They We're very intereste
watchers, too, because they will have to
meet one of those two clubs in the post
season series for the championship of
the city. They have practically cinched
the pennant in the East Washington
Sunday School League.
The Printers and Y. N. II. A. teams
battled ten innings to a tie yesterday.
