A glance at the schedule of play in the
minor baseball leagues today shows a
number OF important games to be decided
One of the most important is that be-
tween Dobson and DisSton in the north sec
date has a perfect record. winning all four
games played, while Disston has dropped
but one, that memorable affair to Mid
vale. The unexpected reversal handed the
steel workers by Hale & Kilburn has had
the effect OF punching the leaders to
nicely and all that is necessary to add I'M
petus to the situation is for Disston to slip
one over on the j. & ]. boys. Dick Seeds
gives us his word that the Sawmakers viii
win and he should know. Another hard-
fought affair will be Midvale against Keen
Kutter, but the leaders in the southern sec
ton will hardly be disturbed unless the un-
foreseen occurs
The ]. G. Brill team, which jumped from
nothing in the Delaware County League
to tie with Upland all in one day, Will
face Chester on the latter's grounds and
the Carmakers expect to slip one over on
the Poth crowd Stanley Lefty" Baum
gartner will have TO be bit careful, as
this crowd OF Brillians is clouting the old
pill these days.
To make but a single hit and still win
the game is a rare occurrence, indeed, but
this is just what happened when Bellmawr
defeated Presbyterian A. A. to l in the
Camden County League.
L. Schmidt, Of the Smaltz- Goodwin team,
sprang a big surprise on his teammates last
Saturday when he relieved Jones in the
fifth inning, and with the score 1l-3 against
his team allowed Hallahan team one
hit in the remaining four sessions, while his
teammates sent seven runs across the plate.
1t was pity they could not muster several
more runs and return him a winner after
such a brilliant feat
The players of the champion A. r. King
team, of the Shoe Manufacturers League,
will be presented this afternoon with gold
watch fobs for winning the championship
last year Jack Roden, the well-known
sports promoter, will make the presentation.
The excitement in the Main Line League
is intense at present and the closely bal
anced teams have aroused the enthusiasm
Of the fans. The Dun-Autocar clash is anx-
iously awaited, and Manager Barker feels
certain of Autocar soon regaining the lead.
Roy Thomas's Stetson hatmakers will
clash with TOwanda at Fourth and Berks
streets this afternoon. They have now won
long string Of games and expect to add
Towanda TO the list
