Despite the fact that some of the
crack players Of both teams competing
today are playing elsewhere, there is
every reason to believe that the Union
Park contest will be the best of the
series.
Just as soon as the Independent
series Is Strengthened out and some of
the league players released for their
teams. a tighter fight is expected.
Elks Have Stars.
The Elks have such stars as Nc
earthly, Pfeil, Owen, Bleier, whose
name was inadvertently left off the
printed list of players; Roche. Lynn,
Giovannetti, Lemerice, Degnan, Fra
ser. Jenkins and others.
Zone players, who have grabbed
Off the first game in winning from r.
+. Andrews. will have a strong contin-
gent in the field. The Zone lads list
lot of youngsters who have played
consistent baseball.
The District Association executive
committee today announced that the
Section b games would be terminated
and that the Southern Railway team
be declared a winner of the section,
with the right to enter the post-season
series sectional winners champion
ship. Southern has twice defeated the
Registers and twice defeated the Po-
tomac Council team.
Will Play Tomorrow.
One of the best games of the season
Is expected tomorrow at Union League
Park when the r. p. Andrews team
tackles the Naval Air Station.
The Andrews nine was somewhat
crippled in it's first engagement, but
Manager Evans promises his strongest
lineup against the scrappy Anacostia
lads. Yesterday the Naval Air lads
slammed the Adjutant Generals for a
whole lot of hits and nine runs.
Manager Bill Barge, of the Naval
Airmen, has a first-class nine of
youngsters started poorly in the Poto-
mac League in losing seven straight
games, but came through for a pen
nant at the end.
The Airmen average about nineteen,
and while they have a lot to learn
about playing firstclass baseball,
Barge has taught them a deal of base
ball and has instilled a fighting spirit
which might well be emulated by some
of the older clubs here.
VIII Start Monday.
Monday the Section c series will
start at Union Station on the Terminal
partmental League winner, not as yet
nominated for the series, plays the

+. Andrews will be continued until
a winner is declared. According to
the schedule the circuit will run un-
IN September IA unless winner is
in evidence before that time.
Southern Must Wait.
Southern Railway which won four
games in a row in the Section b
games just concluded must wait
until the middle of September to
get action in the final series in
which three teams will participate.
Considerable comment has been
heard on the fact that the Associa-
ton teams are not playing as fast
a brand of baseball as that which
marked the series last season. The
independent series is taking many
of the best of the league team
players with the result that many
OF. the clubs competing in the asso
citation series have been robbed Of
their stars.
The Andrews-Zone 2 contest was
a good Illustration on Monday. An
drews nearly forfeited the game for
lack of a player. The stars of the
Andrews club were playing in an
