Northwest Sunday School League. A
defeat yesterday. its second within the
week, showed it back far enough to
give the leader, Brightwood, a fairly
safe margin as far as it is concerned
Emmanuel Is now the only club that
Brightwood has to fear, and the game
in which these two teams figure to-
morrow will come near deciding the
right to the highest honors.
Brightwood won from Whitney Ave-
nue. yesterday easily, getting the long
end of the score by to 4. The Whitney
against the pitching of Stanley. and
that was the main reason it lost. Stan

against the Emeralds in the Marquette
League yesterday. made the record for
the season for strike-outs. He caused
twenty-five men to fan the air in their
attempts to land on his offerings. Ten

one hit was made off the delivery of

work for the winners, the former playing
well at third and the latter doing some

eighth, when four runs were chased
across the plate.

the game yesterday in which the Episco-

| Church League. Cruicks of Episcopals
let the Methodists down with only one
hit while Hill, who was on the mound
for the Methodists, allowed the Episcopal
