gave it undisputed possession of the top
perth.
Each of the winning clubs had things
pretty much its own way. The Treasury
club got off to good start. scoring
hree runs in the third and three more in
he sixth. 1t won by to 2. Brightwood
got its victory by a count OF to > The
Whitney Avenue aggregation did not
prove very formidable for the champion
ciub, it being headed right at the start
and never thereafter being able to catch
up. 1t was all Emeralds in the Central

X kenilworth did not once get man across
the plate.
With the decisive contests of yesterday.
there is only one amateur league in which
the championship has not been decided.
That Is the Rosedale, and the title for
that circuit will be determined this aft
ernoon. Highlanders and Holy Name
being scheduled to meet in an extra
game. Highlanders won the pennant by
taking two out of three-game series,
protest made by Holy Name and ordered
one of the games played again.
To Stanley, who did the pitching for
Brightwood against the Whitney Avenue
team. should go the greatest amount OF
credit for the winning Of the league
championship Stanley did some really
brilliant work, and there never was a
time when he did not hold his game well
in hand. His hurting was all that could
be wished for. Stanley allowed Whitney
Avenue eleven hits. but he was effective
when men were on the bases. He struck
out ten men and had fairly good control.
Stanley's performance is all the more
creditable when 1t is considered that he
worked day before yesterday against
Emmanuel and won that contest also. He
has pitched and won two games in as
many days. and they were games in
which he had to put forth pretty nearly
his best efforts every bit of the way
That he did so we'll is saying much for
men Thursday and ten yesterday. so he
must have had something on the ball
both days.
The game between Whitney Avenue
and Brightwood was not very well play
ed. both teams hitting the bald hard at
times and a lot of errors being registered
against each. Brightwood had five mis-
plays charged to it, while Whitney Ave-
nue. had four
The game was remarkable in that not
an assist was credited to whitney Ave-
nue.. 1t is perhaps the only ball game
ever played on the local lots in which
not an assist was scored by one of the
clubs.
H. Statz, at shortstop for the winners,
and coleman. behind the bat for the
losing nine. did about the best work of
the individuals. The former fielded and
batted well, his stickwork being one of
the few features of the contest. Dole
man also did creditably back of the plate
and with his bat.
Pitching brilliantly, Murphy allowed
kenilworth only four hits. struck out
six and carried the Emerald Club to the
Central League championship. His per-
formance was probably the best of the
series. there not having been a better
exhibition of pitching given in either of
the five games. The manner in which
Murphy was holding kenilworth indicat-
ed that the Emeralds were going to win
after the first few innings. Emeralds
scored one run in the first. another in
the third. one more in the sixth and four
in the seventh. Murphy. besides pitching
a splendid game, got two hits out of as
many times up.
The base-running of the Emeralds
again featured. They could not be stop
ped from advancing almost whenever they
felt like it. They purloined seven sacks.
K. Rawlings and Murphy having two
steals to their credit and G. Rawlings.
Holloran and Oakley one each.
Jimmy Donnelly. although little has
been said about his work in many cases.
should get the credit for pulling the
Emeralds through to the championship.
He is one of the headiest players in the
league. and there is probably no better
second baseman in amateur ball in the
District One achievement of Donnellys
was accomplished day before yesterday,
when he stole home with the run which
gave Emeralds the margin by which
they won. Had not Donneily seen the
chance to make the play. kenilworth
might have taken that game. in which
Ease the championship would have been
decided then and there. 1t also speaks
Well for Donnelly that with the count
TWO games to one against his team he
could hold the boys together and win the
TWO final contests.
Downev held Bureau to six hits and
famed twelve: Treasury made nine
"a feties off Powell and got them when
needed That. in short, tells the story of
the victory of the Treasury club in the
Trea siry League and the championship
