PetWorth and Bankers to Meet
in Game Which May Decide
Title in Section A.
HOWELL TO PITCH
AGAINST TRUST COMPANY
Lad Who HumbIed Interior Will
Try Luck Against the Other
Strong Team.
By n. c. BYRD.

Iodays game between the Bankers
anu PetWorth is to be one of the most
important yet played in the series in
section A Of the post-season schedule.
IL the Bankers are victors they will
undoubtedly have the championship
practically won. but if the long end
OIL the score goes to Petworth the odds
VIII be decidedly in favor of it unless
there should be a tie
kidwell will most likely do the pitch
ing for Petworth. His work against
interior was such that he proved him.
self the most dependable of the Fed
eral League twirlers, and he will be
the choice unless something take place.
There is some doubt as to who will
be in the box for the Bankers, though
the selection will most likely be Hof-
fecker He was very successful
against Petworth in the other contest
in which he worked against it, which
should favor him to start today.
There will be no change in the lineup
of the Petworth club. and the Bankers
will probably start with the same play
ers as worked last Saturday against
Interior, although there may be enc
change.
J The game will be played at the Capital
City League Park. and Will start at
O'Clock.
There are two angles to the claim Of a
! forfeit by the Petworth club yesterday,
when Trinity failed to show up or
Georgetown Field. While President
| Young ordered the Petworth club TO ap,
pear on Georgetown Field, it is q fact
| that no game could have been played
| there had Trinity shown up. The man
| in charge of the grounds at Georgetown
| refused even admission for the PetWortl
i there certainly could have been no con
test.
| Then. again, it is said that the grass
| and weeds stood a foot high all over the
diamond and there could have been nc
| contest played under such conditions
| Due notice was given in the morning
papers to the effect that the game would
| be played on the regular Marquette
League field, also. The only thing which
stands in the way of playing the game
| is that the manager of Trinity failed tt
| notify President Young that there could
| be no game at Georgetown. 1t is very
probable that the forfeit will not be al.
| lowed to stand. although technically there
is some ground on which to base an argu-
ment for such decision.
Ninth is scheduled to meet Emmanuel
at 18th and D streets northeast The
victory should be easy for the Christians,
notwithstanding the close game given
them on their previous meeting with the
Northwest Sunday School Leaguers.
Two games will be played here Sat
urday and SUNDAY which should be OF
great interest. The all-FilipinO team from
the Philippine Islands, which is touring
this country, will appear here at the Vigi-
lants' Park on both days The Fflipfnos
have been doing some very creditable
work in the majority of their games, and
the contests should be worth seeing even
without the unique element.
