on a Championship.

BY n. C. BYRD.

Only one important game is sched-
uied today in the amateur circuits
The Young Mems Hebrew Association
is booked to play the Sherwood nine
in the Central League. This contest
VIII have direct bearing on the
championship of that organization, as
both teams are in the running for the
honor. The only other contest which
may figure TN deciding a pennant is
that between Cornell and Hyattsville.
Sherwood and Y. NJ. H. A. are two of
the three clubs running a close race in
the Central League for the title in
the second half of the schedule. Both
has chance to win. If Sherwood is
the victor it may result In the asso-
citation team being put out Of the run
ming.
While the Hyattsville A. C. nine has not
a chance for the pennant itself, there is
little question that 1t is liable to give
either of the leading clubs a hard jolt.
If it were to win from Cornell this aft
ernoon 1t would come very near putting
the Paperhangers out of the running, as
the odds are heavily against them now.
That Hyattsville may be able to win a
game from Cornell. or the. Bankers is
shown by the fact that it has already
given both clubs the hardest kind of a
tussle. Last week Cornell came near get
ting trimmed by ii, and yesterday the
Bankers did not score the winning tally
until the last half of the last inning.
1t is probable that the series I'm the
Departmental League to decide the cham
pionship will start next week. 1t is prac-
tically certain that the regular schedule
will close with the Interior and Agricul-
ture clubs tied for the leadership. Three
games will be played between these two
teams to decide the title.
It is probable that the largest crowds
that have watched the games in the De-
partmental League in a long while will
be on hand to see the series between Ag-
many supporters, and they will nearly all
be out on the occasions when a champion
ship is directly at stake. The work of
the two mines has been of such a char
acter that a series Of close games is
likely to be contested.
Despite the fact that he was hit rather
hard Colley pitched a nice game for the
Hyattsville club against the Bankers yes
terday. TWO or three times he made
the Trust Company men look foolish on
the bases, and they found a lot of diff
ficulty in hitting him safely when men
were on.

Edwards. with the Trinity club winner
Of the pennant 1t was decided to end
the schedule In view Of the fact that
Trinity had made its hold on the title
certain. and the expenses of the
league were Of such a character that 1t
was feared an Indebtedness might ac-
crue before the season was supposed
to terminate.
