Manager Edward Williams, Of the
Bureau nine, of the Government
League, has visions. Manager Will
liams has had an uphill fight for
the honor of leading the teams in
the second series. Bureau is at the
top of the heap today, and the Bu-
reau players are not only going at
ter the Government League title,
but are picked by many of the fol-
lowers to come through with the
post season title, and the right to
meet the winner Of the Richmond
series in the intercity series.
Amateur baseball followers be-
lieve Bureaus 10 to 4 win yester-
day was the means CT injecting
enough pennant aspirations to make
the Marines easy picking when the
teams met. Bureau is leading the
league in the second series, and will
probably met the Marines for the
Government League title.
Bureau has been successful in Its
inter-league contests. having come
out successfully with the Potomac
Leaguers. Furthermore, Bureau Is
possessed of the idea that the Marines
have cracked and that they will be
meat in the remaining engagements.
The city title is by no means ar
impossibility for Bureau and Man
ager williams is confident that his
boys can turn the trick. The league
leadership should be further strength
