It is practically an impossibiiity
to forecast Just ;t this time with any
degree of accuracy as to wh'cl club
is sure of winning the second hall
Of :he race in the Virginia League,
!, but study of the schedule yet re-
\maining offers something to shmk
about. There is no way of telling

wilson's playing schedule has
Ieen a hard one Of late while that OF
some other teams has bean easier
For instance Norfolk has played
Petersburg or Tarboro twelve games
since July 4th, and has three games
yet to play with them. She has play
of July and has three remaining
games to be played with her. She
has had six with Newport News ard
will have three more. Wilson has
played six games with Tarboro this
half, but there are yet remaining
seven games to be played with ner
this half including the one yester-
day. We have had three with Suf
folk and have three remaining. We
have played nine with Newport News
and have three yet to play. With the
three weaker clubs, Norfolk has had
27 of her games this half while we
have had Is with the three clubs
mentioned. A difference of nine
games in this respect is quite a con-
siderable difference, but in view of
the facts mentioned we are yet lead
ing the race by three full games.
Comparisons of this kind are not
absolute. and yet they are indicative
of the playing strength when a long
period of time Is considered. For
the balance of the season each team
has twenty-eight games counting the
full series just begun yesterday In
one or two cases there are postponed
or protested games to be playe over,
as is the case with Wilson and Tar
boro this week. A compilation of the
schedule yet remaining, taking into
consideration the Wilson, Ports!

six with Norfolk, seven with Tar

three with Suffolk, and seven with
Rocky Mount.
AS stated above these games in,
clude the ones played thruout the
League yesterday. A close study of
the schedule leaves very little to
choose between them, but with the
seven games we are to play with
ROCKY Mount, the hardest team in
the League to win from, eliminated
we would have considerably the best
showing. We have no other games
with Portsmouth, only three with
Richmond, and six with Norfolk.
Richmond has eighteen of her games
yet remaining with Norfolk, Ports
mouth, Wilson and Rocky Mount.
Portsmouth has thirteen games with
Richmond, Norfolk and Rocky Mount.

ing games with Richmond, Ports

This week will see either Rich
mond or Norfolk lowered somewhat
in that the two teams play each

against Suffolk on her home lot and |
shouldn't have any great difficulty in
coming OF with honors. Wilson has
four games with Tarboro and if the
