Three of seven leagues under the
Amateur Association may have pen
nant winners declared upon decisions
by the board of governors, so close
have been the fights for the flag
with outstanding protests figuring
in the results of the final standings.
With the winner in one league
series just decided upon, the board
will have to take up the matter Of
the Keller-Advent game of July 6
in the East Washington Sunday
School circuit. A decision in favor
of Keller will give the first series
title to that team. A decision for
Advent will bring Advent and Keller
together in the final series for the
league title.
The board may also have to handle
the Inimanuel-W Whitney controversy, In
the Northwest Sunday School circuit
Emmanuel was winner of the first
series Whitney and Emmanuel stand
at tie now with a protest to decide
the winner Of the second series. Upon
manuel is declared winner Whitney
will kick over the traces and out Of
the, league. Emmanuel players are said
to have given their intention to drop
from the circuit If Whitney is awarded
the game in question. A decision for
Emmanuel would give the title in the
two series to that team and stop any
final series for the league title.

No dates have been set for the post.
season games. Winners will proba bly,
| be declared at the conclusion of the va
rous final series in the various leagues
after which the committee on dates of
| the Association will announce the
| schedule.
! From a financial standpoint the games
, In the post season series are likely to
| prove a loss this season. The fact that
| building operations have forced the
| leagues to play on grounds that are not
enclosed makes it impossible to charge
| even n small sum for admission, being
! ohlised to depend upon passing the hat.
| The post season series games will be
played upon the fields now in use and
as admission cannot be charged the
| leagues will be up against losing
proposition as far as money is con-
cerned.
The Aggies defeated Interior in the
