if they perform at anywhere near the

The w. F. Roberts team is another
to be reckoned with that will make
its bow this week. Manager Mccall

Several Surprises Sprung.
The series has not been without its
upsets. Prominent among these were
War Finances win over Black Ath-
and the inconsistent work of the DO
minican Lyceums in the unlimited
division. the form reversals of the
Ariels and the Friendships in the
senior division, and. the downfall OF
the Linworth Juniors in the junior
tourney.
A matter of pitching put War
Finance in the winning class. Dur

trailing the other teams in section B,
with the Friendships just above them.
Pitching weakness has hurt the Ben

been costly to the boys from the
vicinity of the navy yard. Generally

Junior division, but they may regain

Huge crowds turned out last week
to witness the series contests. and
several games scheduled this week
probably will cause many ardent
sandlot fans to neglect their sup
pers. In the unlimited division
