| pionship of the Rosedale League this
afternoon, it would be possible to starr
the post-season series tomorrow ir
both sections if the Potomac League
| could have finished its schedule. With
the deciding of the championship in
! the Rosedale circuit. the Potomac or.
| ganization will be the only one in
| which the result is uncertain. II
Bureau and Machinists play today and
| tomorrow. there is a possibility that
| the schedule will end Monday. That
is based, of course, on the proposition
that Machinists win both the contests.
The league has been given until Tues
day to decide a winner, and if some
thing happens to prevent the carry
ing out of the full seven contests it
is likely that the one leading at that
time will be declared the victor.
The first game in the post-season
series will be played tomorrow. That
takes place in section B, between
