| Another great race is on in the Cen
| trail League. Three teams are tied for
first place, with the odds apparently
| favoring none. Sherwood, Young Mems
| Hebrew Association and the Printers
are the clubs which have the same claim
on the top BERTH each having won three
games and lost one.
| 4 week before the race in the first half
| of the schedule was decided four teams
were fighting tooth and nail Tor the
championship. There was little diner
| ence in the strength of the mines. though
Sherwood finally won out In the extra
game that was scheduled to decide the tie
after the last contest in the first series
was played. Just how the present STU
alton will terminate is hard to say
| There does not apear to be much diner
encc in the strength Of the CLUBS, ana
they all seem bent on getting into that
| final series which will be played with
Sherwood TO determine the team that
will represent the league in the poSt-sea-
| sen games.
Sherwood started off by winning
three games in succession. AND It's Ioi
lowers were free with the predictions
that 1T would be the winner in the sec
ond half of the schedule, thus necessl-
tating no final play-on between Two
clubs. The Printers. by defeating the
idea that Sherwood may have that 1t
would win out rather easily. The
Young Mems Hebrew Association Is
considerably stronger, and is In a. posi-
ton to give the others hard game
any time it meets one of them Inc
struggle in the Central League is
worth watching.
~, i'm
game in the Capital City League yes
terday, made a good showing. Ihat IL
won the first time, after having hastily
gathered a bunch of players who not
gether, but had probably never made
one another's acquaintance until yes
terday, indicates that the contests In
which 1t appears during the remainder
of the season will not be won easily by
any means.
The club is made UP Of some really
capable fellows. There are several men
in the lineup above the average VINO
are liable to hit the ball out OF the lot
any time they are at bat. Once those
men get working well together they
will be able to give the two best clubs
in the league all they are looking Tor.
Two games are to be played this
week between Cornell and the Amerf-
can Security and Trust Company.

O'Brien started his career in the Cap
ital City League with the Hyattsvilie
club yesterday in a manner that would
indicate he will be dangerous hitter
i'm the games In which he plays. Any
man who can get up and hit the oaii
consistently he did yesterday Is
He got four hits out of five times at
bat, and two Of them went over the
fence.
Bornette, the Business High School

A. team in the Central League. He
should make good In that circuit with
out much trouble.
