Despite Its losses of last week, 1t is
more than probable that Agriculture
will win in the Departmental League.
and it seems that Ninth and Eastern
ought to be victors in the East Wash
ington Sunday School and Potomac cir
cults. OF course. right now the East
ern club does not have much of a mar
gin on Fairlawn. which is only one
ern appears to have the better nine.
Ninth is meeting with a defeat once in
while, but it manages to stay in
front, and is likely to continue in that
position.
The Treasury. Railroad Y. NJ. C.: A,
Central. Marquette and Northwest sun
day School circuits have teams that
are working might and main to finish
the season on top. and there is little
to choose between some of them. OF
course, the championship in the Gen.
trail League will not be decided until
after the final series, in which the
winner of the second series will meet
Kenilworth. With the next few games
in which the leaders meet, the races
will definitely shape up to the extent
that winners will likely be decided
within the next three weeks.
