| Present indications are that I'M
manuel will win the pennant in North
| west Sunday School League. The con-
| sistent way in which it has been TAX
! ing the long ends of the scores of its
, games with all the other clubs in the
| circuit seems to presage an almost GER
| tain victory. OF course, it is more than
possible that some other nine will squirt
and beat out Emmanuel for champion
ship honors, but changes will have to
! take place in the charact~ of the play
| before that can be don
! Emmanuel has been ha eng good hit
ting and better fielding than the other
| mines, and pitching that has held the
| opposing players to a minimum of
safeties. The result is that the team
now has fair lead and seems to be in
| first place to stay
| Yesterdays contest between Whitney
Avenue and Emmanuel was no excep-
ton to the great majority OF the otner
games in which the latter has played,
it was decisive victory for Immanuei
by s to 2 Thompson held Whitney
Avenue to four hits and was effectlve
every minute of the conflict. Both OF
| Whitney's runs were made in the first
! inning, before the Emmanuel players
| had settled down to work oehlho
Thompson. Hall also pitched very
creditably for Whitney Avenue, though
! he was hit hard at times. Doleman OF
! Emmanuel was the star batter, making
| a home run and two singles.

/ player, who has been with savannah
| in the South Atlantic League for sew
eral years, has been made manager OF
that club. Handiboe succeeds Perry
Lipe, who held the job for NUMBER
| of seasons.
| Handiboe was one of the best out
helders in amateur base ball in Wash
ington, and since joining the Savan-
nah club has proved one of the most
capable performers in that league. He
has batted and felded well In profes-
| sional ball and his work has been rec
ognized by the club owners as merl-
| torious, else he would not have been
honored with the managership..
| St. Joseph's was winner from the
| Holy Name te m in the Catholic Church

in the third I'M 'ng gave the victor a
lead sufficient t. keep the game on
ice." Despite it's 'eming ability to bat
better than St. J seph's, Holy Name
| could not get its safeties at oppor-
| tune times.

, double and a single out Of five at

| Neither club had much trouble get
ting hits. and il they could have driven
