There is a possibility that Cornell and
the Bankers. robbed or playing out yes
terday's contest on the Capital City
grounds by rain. may get together twice
this week. The teams are carded to
play On Wednesday, and as Tuesday IS
an open date there is every likelihood
that the two teams will be given the
open date
Rain has twice interfered with the
play of the. teams, yesterdays contest
having been a regular game; There
were but three innings on the books
when the rain drove all the players to
shelter. and hostilities were called of.
At the present time Cornell is three
games in the lead. The PaperEangers
are credited with having won nineteen
starts and losing three, while the Bank
ers have won sixteen games and lost
three.
Like the CapItaI L.Iy League there
are several others which are staging
close races for the title. ST. Stephens
and Trinity. of the Marquette League,
are playing mighty good ball, and stand
almost in a deadlock for the leadership.
While Trinity is ahead at present, the
loss of game will entirely change the
aspect of the league race.
In the Departmental League, the
Aggies are going right out after the
Interior team. Interior has won -FOUR
teen and lost two games. while the
A1yjes have taken eleven contests ana
dropped three. Aggies play Two games

Scorers in the leagues are prone TO
influence their records to favor one or
two players and instances have peen
noted where pitcher or batter gets
bit more than is coming to him. Inc
records show in one instance a no hil
game, which is a BIT Of a stretch or
imagination as well as conscience ano
II might be well for the amateur scorers

taken carr of by some one more COM

drawing well and is furnishing some

have become popular, and the new
league is reported as fiourishing.
IL is reported that the Potonfoc
League will come. under the amateur
association next season. The class of
baseball is on a par with several of
the other circuits. and can be classed
as fast enough to nominate team
for the post-season series.
A meeting of the amateur associa-
tIon will be called this week. President
Young has had instructions out for a
