of the Dye Works Baseball League
Season and then for the big "Serious"
between the Mechanics and the Engi-
neers. This means that the race be-
tween Operating and Chemical for
whatever it is they are out there try
ing to do will be decided. From the
present outlook, we should say that
Operating lost a point when they rout-
ed the Engineers in Mondays game,
8 to 8. The big series, however, should
settle all arguments between the Me-
chanics and the Engineers. The
series will be for the best four out of
seven, should it be Necessary to play
seven games, starting Monday, Sep
TENDER 22nd, and continuing through
the week a game to be played every
day until the argument is settled. The
full nine innings will be played in all
games.
Admission Of fifteen cents will be
charged to all games and ten cents adj
ditional for the grand stand. Cushions
will be on sale for 10 cents.
All expenses of the series will be
borne by the Athletic Association and
the proceeds of the games will be di-

teams in the league.
Both teams have strengthened up
some for the series, the Engineers
thru the addition of Johnny Odgen,
who has been pitching effective ball
for Rochester, Lai, another Chinese in
fielder, and Carney, a catcher. The
Mechanics still have Smith, the big
pitcher, under cover and will be
strengthened in the outfield by the ad-
dition of Wade Reynolds of Hopewell
fame. Morgan who has been pitching
a clever brand of baseball all season
in the Main Line League will also be
eligible to take up the pitching assign
ment in one or more of the games for
the Mechanics. The Mechanics, how
ever, will be without the services of
Joe Rothrock, who has left the plant
to return to college.
Sizing up the playing strength of
the two teams from our point of view
we should say the Mechanics will have
"a slight edge on the Engineers to win
out for the championship. Here's how
we dope it out. Starting with the
catchers, the Mechanics have Smith
against either Warwick or Carney for
the Engineers. We admit that "Pop"
is no youngster at the game but his
knowledge of baseball as well as his
natural ability places him on an equal
basis with either of the Engineers
prospects. Warwick has a slight edge
in throwing but the playing of War
wick behind the bat would weaken the
club at first base.
Smith, Morris, Morgan and Goslin
for the Mechanics will be staked
against Johnny Ogden, Curley Ogden
and Westerfeldt. We can't see much
room for an argument here and place
this department on an equal footing
for both sides.
Engler will, no doubt, be the Me-
chanics choice for first base against
either Warwick or Vim. Engler has
been playing a smart game at the ini-
tia1 sack lately but is admittedly weak
at the bat. In the event of Yim's play
ing first base we believe Engler's field
ING would overcome the difference in
batting strength. However with the
possibility of Warwick's playing this
position for the Engineers, we give
she Engineers the edge on tbs posi-
ton.
Clauser and Cornog will have a mer-
nv battle for honors around the key
stone sack. Both men + batting at
a fast clip and fielding perfectly, al
though we believe Clauser covers more
ground.
Biting and Ayau will be the rival
shortstops and we give Biting the
edge in both batting and fielding, al
though we don't expect all the fans to
