tomorrow to meet the Rex A. c. nine.

ably start Reliher or Parks
Navy Yard is expecting to stand
by Frye or Buscher today. Both
hurlers are capable of coming
through with another win, and Mana
ger Crook Is undecided as to which
hurler will perform Frye won from
the Rex team, with Finney Kelly
pitching, a few days ago.
Manager Wright has all his pitchers
ready now. Brown, Lyons and Kelly
are ready to so in either today or to-
morrow, and as the Rex lads meet
Operations tomorrow. II is likely that
Kelly will tackle the Navy Yard men
today
Games today and tomorrow will
definitely decide the leadership in
the two sections. The series will
string out until the end of next week,
when the winners OF the two sections
will engage in a taree-game cham
pionship series
Right now II looks like the L. S.
Marines and Navy Yard teams would
be the winners OF the sections. Ma
rines have yet to play the War Risk
team and the Capital Publishers. II
both games are lost a tie would re-
suit with War Risk.
Navy Yard has an established lead
which could be cut down IL two
games were lost. II is almost a fore
gone conclusion that the leaders will
meet in the final series.
Protest Turned Down.
The protest Of the Naval Operations
team in its recent game with Navy
Yard was turned down by the board
