The post-season series will begin to-
morrow. Representatives of the Capital
City and Departmental leagues will
meet in the first contest Interior will
represent the latter and the Bankers
will endeavor to hold up the prestige
of the former.
There is great deal more interest
being manifested in the game between
Interior and the Bankers than had
been looked for. The supporters Of the
two clubs are many, and, to Judge by
the general attitude, it is likely that
nearly all will be out to see the first
clash in the interleague series for the
city championship.
According to those who have watched
the Interior club play during the regu-
lar Departmental League schedule, the
Bankers will have TO go against a fast,
aggressive bunch of players. OF course,
the Trust Company nine is not a poor
performer itself, but it may be up
against more capable team than the
players themselves expect. 1t is no
secret that the members of the Bank
team expect to win the post-Season
series rather easily, and in that very
attitude may be their undOing. 1t
would be a rude jolt If Interior were
the start. Such a thing is not beyond
the realm of possibilities by long
shot. although in any one game the
odds should favor the Trust Company.
Interior will depend upon Gray or Cant
Well to do it's box work, but 1t is not
known who will do the pitching for the
Bankers. A selection will hardly be made
until after the men are on the field.
An attempt will be made to start the
game tomorrow at 4.3O, instead Of an

would have no trouble in getting on the
field easily In time to start at that hour,
and it is very probable that it will be
done.
1t is the intention of Manager Stanton
of the Waverly club, now that the Capital
City League season is ended. to play in
dependent ball. He has obtained a per-
init to play on the Railroad Y. M. c. A.
field, at 5th and florida avenue north
east. and he will be glad to hear from
any strong clubs that may desire games.
Manager Stanton has a fine bunch Of
youngsters on his club and good field
on which to play, and those who want to
arrange games with a team that is worth
while will do well to communicate with
him. They may rest assured that they
will receive the most courteous treatment.
In the game in the Eastern League yes
terday the Shamroeks lost to the Con-
greSSionals and were put out of the run
ming for the championship. The schedule
was declared closed last night and the
Mohawks winners. No more contests
will be played.
The vigilants will play the Marshall
Athletic Club of Baltimore Sunday after
noon at the Vigilant Park 1t is reported
that the Marshall club is stronger than
the average amateur organization, and
should give the Vigilants close contest.
The Petworth club won the game yes
terday from the Fairmonts that gives it
the championship of the Federal League.
Its victory was rather decisive and 1t
played the better ball. Wooden pitched
well for Petworth. but he was not given
very good support. The left-hander went
back into the game. despite the fact that
he had had but one days rest, and did
creditable work.
Kidwell has been the mainstay Of the
Petworth club in the series His work
has been good enough to win both the
contests in which he has figured. He
pitched the opening game Monday and
won. Yesterday he went back and got
away with the victory, and struck out
twelve men in SO doing. Kidwell may
prove a troublesome proposition for the
other clubs in the post-season series.
He has been pitching well enough to
warrant a prediction that he will beat
some of the clubs and give the best
