The so-called weaker clubs in the
post season series will get chances to-
day to show what they can do against
the stronger. In section the General
Office team is to play Agriculture,
touted by many as the most capable in
the District, while in section A the
Rosedales are to play the Marines and
Emmanuel will pit it's power against
that of the Machinists.
More interest attaches to the contests
in which Emmanuel and General once
are to figure than in the one Rosedale
Is to play. Emmanuel proved superior
to the aforementioned Saturday and II
it gets the right kind of pitching may
show better against the Machinists than
is generally expected. especially as the
latter seem to be in a bad way Tor
pitchers. General Office is banking on
giving Agriculture a real battle and
several of it's players think they have
an even chance to win.
The games today will serve to give a
real line on the capabilities OF the
teams. If Agriculture defeats General
Office it must be considered as having
the title in section practically Sc
cured, while the honors in section A
will lie between Marines and Machin-
lists II they are victors over Rosedales
|and Emmanuel.
Unless Forest Thompson pitches for
the Machinists instead of General Once
the navy yard men are going to have
mighty rough going and will be very
lucky if they win. They have been
very unfortunate in having their star
left lander. Chaney. put out of COM
mission. and if Thompson plays with
General Office only one man will be
left to do the slab work-Hines-and
1t stands to reason that he cannot bear
the strain of it all by any means.
Clancy was eliminated several days
ago when he broke his ankle in game
between Independent teams out near
his home at Ammendale, Nd.
Agriculture probably will send Lem
General Office. Owens has proved the
most consistent hurler the Farmers have
had, and ought to do we'll against the
best the Railroad Y. NJ c. A. League
could produce. Owens has good speed
and a curve ball that breaks wide and
fast He is going to be hard man for
any of the opposing teams to hit hard, and
with good support probably will be the
most difficult pitcher in the series to de-
feat
Emmanuel has Kidwell and Gessford to
Machinists, but it may pitch Eddie
Thompson right back. Thompson has
done effective work all season, and
against the Rosedales Saturday was at
his best. One man who has watched
amateur ball teams play all season ex-
pressed the opinion that Thompson would
prove equal to the task of holding the
Machinists, and might win If properly sup
ported in the field.

both are capable men in nearly every
particular. Both are fast base runners
as we'll as being capable in the other
star outfelder of the high school series
last spring. Although he hit away be-
low his real form in the SCHOLASTIC
contests, he has since proved that 1t
also is fast on the bases and has the
making of an exceptional player. 1t
might be mentioned in this connection
that Chaplin is to enter the Maryland
Agricultural College this fall, having
graduated from Central High June
last. In another year Chaplin ought to
be star in college ranks.
