game for Saturday and as Tuesday is
an open date the two teams have been
matched for that day. The Bankers
are breezing along with fourteen wins
and four losses while Cornell has six
teen wins and four losses There is no
doubt but that the two games will
draw large crowds for they are by far
the best of the contests scheduled dur

while First Presbyterian has the same
number of wins and one more loss. The

ule is being played off and there is
plenty Of time for one of the other
teams to catch up before the league
season is officially declared through
The Marquette League, in George
town. furnishes daily games that are
attractive. The scores are always
close and the teams appear to be put
ting up good arguments in every con-
test The lead is slight one for
Trinity, and st. Stephens, last years
leaders, manage to make IL interesting
enough for the Trinity team. BY vir-
tue of win over St Stephens Trinity
recently jumped into the lead and bid
fair to retain its advantage.

ized a team, with Lee Jenkins as man

The Central League trouble which re-
suited in the suspension of two players
and the lay-off for the remainder of the
season Of Fred Heck. will probably be
solved now that Heck is reported signed
with the Wichita team, of the Western
League.
Heck was set down by President Cor
nelius, and ii was reported that Sher-
wood could not see il THAI way. The
aid of the managers OF the league was
being solicited by the Sherwood play
ers. and ii was reported that Presi-
dent Cornelius would be oyerruled. Cor
nelius said he would quit his job. and
was only TO remain on condition that
the managers stood by him.
Now that Heck is out Of the league
and will be out Of the city, there seems
TO be little doubt but that the teams
will swing into line all right. and that
the players set down for short while
will serve out their time and return to
tie game.
ST. Stephens, OF the Marquette |
League, is staging contest with the |
Georgetown Olives today, and will op- |
pose "Unz" Brewer. the Western High |
