THE Philadelphia Baseball Associa- :
L tion is on its way to decide the 1922
semi-p baseball championship Of this

Included in the makeup of this or
ganization are the strongest teams In
this locality. and the personnel of the
clubs involved is in every way equal to
many first class minor league clubs.
The championship is not going to be
decided in day. 1t will take at least
all Of September and part of October
to arrive at the ultimate winner. The
association is divided into three Sec
tions.
The white city teams begin their
championship series tonight. The white
out of-tOwn mines. with but three on
tries, get going tomorrow. and how the
championship of the colored section Is
to be determined will be decided at the
Board of Governors meeting tonight.

divisions will then meet in n play of
series to decide the best club in the
entire association. A number Of hand
pionship club.
All But One Playing
The layout tonight calls for all but
| one Of the entrants to be seen in action.
| The downtown section has only three
contenders. and this is the one that
naturally draws the idle club.
The contest carded is to be staged nj
! Thirteenth and Johnson streets between
the South Philly Hebrews and Fleisher
! 4 perusal of the records of the riva
combatants elicits the information that
! the same teams have battled on six
previous occasions.
The Sphas have the edge with n rec
ord Of having won four of the SIX
starts, which. fguratively speaking
shows Eddie Gottlieb's gang to be rated
at .667 and Fleisher 1913.
The Yarners just now are hitting 9
fast pace. They have galaxy of hurl.
ers-six in number-and 1t would oc'
casion no surprise if Bill Kelleher. who
has just joined the team. is used on thu
| hill. "Rube" Chambers or -"Chickie'
Passon. who defeated the South Phil.
lies on Saturday, looks to be the likely
selection for the Sphas.
In West Philly
The West Philly rivals are all IL
motion. Barney Slaughter, of the Ii
team, has been on the move, togethel
with Al Mildenberg, the last couple o
weeks. and they are both agreed tina
the store team has its best lineup t.
nit against Jim Bonner's ShanahaI
aggregation. ,
looking crew these days. and grea
battle is anticipated at Fifty -fourtl
In IN
inc,osed grounds of the Lit team. Th
records show Shanahan and Lit to hav
mingled on four occasions. Neither ha
ony advantage, which is another wa
of saving the games have been split
each winning two.
Philadelphia Terminal and Stonehurs
meet ut Forty eighth and Wa!nu
streets. and capacity crowd is, as
sured. 1t is the home field of bot
teams. Terminal boasts an enviabl
record for the season. but has droppe
n number of games OF late: Ihey wer
wrecked by Harrisburg Motive Powe
w MfetMe' the railroad crisis last week, an
we're also beaten by Lansdale on Satur
day. A., A..
: ia not 70 be denied. with a capabl
staff of hurlers in Friday. Clock an
, Doupherty. They have met Termint
twice to date and each has succeeded i
, gaining the decision once.
The Northern Lights
All the leading northern clubs wi
be seen in action. The North Phillie
have come to the fore with rush tn
last six weeks and from team tha
was winning about third of the game
played. has jumped among the leader
by capturing over three quarters of Il
recent games. Perry Reifsnyder ha
three capable hurlers in Beloff, Stein
ader and Robinson.
The latter will oppose Dobson a
fourth and WingOhocking streets an
the Phils have the edge on the weaver
two to one in the three games played
Norman Pitt, former Harrisburg stai
will likely pitch for Dobson. or If he
not seen in action, a teammate, Har
ned will take TO the hill.
The StentOn Field Club at Phillellen
md Musgrave streets draws Billy Whit
mans Bridesburg bunch. The recor
of the Whitmenites for the season
! an impressive one, and but for numbp
of defeats when the team was recent
crippled would be out in front in th
standings. The club Is intact once NOR
ana expects TO make a great fight.
