ADVANCE DOPE
FAILS TO HOLD

Upsets reversals IN form, sur
prises and things Of the sort we're
distributed to the large crowd OF
fans who attended the first set Of
games In the play-off between the
six division winners for the quot
championship Of the Church Ath-
letic League at the Y. NJ. c. A. on
Tuesday night. The advance dope
was considerably joggled or some
thing like that. For instance:
Presidential. winner OF the First
Division Championship and consid-
cred the most dangerous contenders
FOR the final honors was eliminated
In three straight games by Epworth,
champions of the Fifth Division.
Brandywine. Fourth Division
champions. duplicated the three
straight stunt against Union. Third
Division champions. but this was not
altogether unexpected.
First-Centrars Sixth Division win
ners did better than their No.
mates. eliminating Old Swedes,
champions Of the Second Division.
after a hard fought three out OF
four tussie.
The manner OF deciding the op-
ponents was 10 place the names OF
the champions Of the six divisions
in a hat and they were drawn by
President Thomas S. Taylor Of the
Church Athletic League. Then the
opposing crews went 10 II for the
best out OF FIVE games. the one on
the short end being eliminated from
the tourney.
FGrst-Central No. 1 pulled the
same stunt as It did last season.
After wading through the regula-
tion schedule they were eliminated
IN three straight. Epworth No. 8,
however, had just as good a record
as both teams came through the
season with 90 wins and 9 losses IN
their respective circuits.
Epworth took the first two games
on Tuesday night with apparent ease
and then the First-central boys got
started In the third which was very
close but they could not come
through with their comeback.

The Old Swedes No. and First
Central No. was the real battle Of
the evening, despite the fact that the
Market street bunch won three out
OF four, taking three straight after
losing the opener. The Swedes won
the toss for the first pitch but First
Central got the start by running Up
six points before their opponents got
one Then by steady pitching Old
Swedes wont out 81 TO II.
First-Central then got IN a win
ming mood but had TO battle hard to
take the next two. II looked as II
the teams would go into two games
In the fourth when the score was
tied five times and stood al IL all.
