INDUSTRIAL RACE
MAY Be TRIPLE TIE
Winner of PIay-off May Meet
Champion of PhiIa. Manufac-
turers' Circuit in Series
FOX MOTOR IS STRONG

From the present trend Of affairs
in the Industrial Baseball League there
is every likelihood that the champion
ship will be determined by the playing
of three -cornered series, in which
Hohlfeld, WINS Cake and Fox Motor
will participate.
Dividing the seasons playing sched-
ule into two series has proved very
profitable BY number of leagues,
ther this year and made the playing
season of three series.
The result is that the interest has
never waned. Hohlfeld started off and
won the initial pennant with ease. AS
the first series progressed It was evil
dent that WINS Cake would be in the
running in the next series. They were,
and won in the same easy manner as
Hohlfeld copped the first.
Fox Motor was a newcomer In the
second group OF games and now the
motorists appear to have the edge on
all their rivals. and 1t is freely pre-
dIcted that they have the best chance
to win out. Hohlfeld and Ivins. how
ever. dispute that assertion.
If Fox is successful, a three -cornered
series will be arranged to determine the
winner, and it is more than likely
that n series for the industrial cham
pionship of the city will be played with
the pennant winner in the Philadelphia
Manufacturers League, which will be
either Liggett & Myers or DeFrain
Sand
Any of these FIVE teams are capable
of giving the best of the semipro mines
in the city a run for honors. The cali :
Der of the industrial clubs at present
are the highest ever in any such league
in this city, Ivins, Fox Motor and
Hohlfeld all playing twilight ball with
the leading teams three times weekly.

De FRA|N BATTERS
ARE OUT IN FRONT
Sand Men Head Philadelphia
Manufacturers League.
Galaxy Of Sticksmiths
WITTE IS REAL LEADER

De Frain Sand leads the Philadel-
phia Manufacturers Baseball League
for the second half honors and a glance
at the batting averages for the first
half of the. final series shows conclu-
sively why the Sandmen are out in
front.
The first three men at the head Of
the list all wear De Frain uniforms
and of the initial dozen batsmen, half
are of the uptown aggregation. Camp
bell is at the head with an average Of
500. while Witte, is hitting the pill
for $50 and is the real leader, having
gone to bat nearly twice as many times
as Campbell.
1t is a significant fact that the pitch
ers are far more effective than in the
first series when several players were
hitting for 700 and large percentage
were in the 400 class. The individual
averages are anDen1a5.
