CHURCH LEAGUE
GAMES THIS WEEK

Owing to the game between
the Bears and HIustonville Men
day, there will be no church lea
que game Monday. Tuesday the
Methodists and the Second Chris
tians clash for the third time this
season Each has a victory to
its credit at the expense OF the
other and they are going to fight
hard to see which is to win the
seasons series. The Second
Christians have the edge on the
Methodists in recent wins but tbs
Methodist are going to give them
a hard run for their money.
Wednesday the Baptists and
the Second Christians stage their
game of the season. This game
will practically cinch second place
for either of these teams. Both
teams have been going good late
", but the Baptists slowed up
their pace a bit in the last gam,
with the Presbyterians. This
game is also looked forward to as
it brings the Church Leagues
home run king, Charley Rogers,
and his runner-up, Hembree in
action against each othr.
These two sluggers will pro
badly oppose each other on the
mound and this will add to this
interesting game. Each man is
likely to crack a four-bagger at
any time and the title of Babe
Ruth of the Church League is
sure to be won by one Of these
men.
The First Christians and Meth
odists play Friday. If the Camp
bellites" win this game they can
not be beaten out of the pennant.
Thursday the Richmond town
team plays Red" Roberts team
from Danville.
