midget division.
1t is interesting to note that
all are strong teams, and that the
southwest section of town should
land at least one title in the big
series.
Southwest probably will focus at
tention on the Dominican Lyceuhn-
Mohawk clash, the contest being
scheduled ON a home field and one
of the few first-class diamonds in
the city.
The handy location of the field,
however, is only minor attrac-
tiOn, the drawing EOwer of the
game resting in the heavy reputa-
tiOns of the cOntesting teams. The
MOhawkS have won their two
games i'm the series and are
fresh from a triumph over their
plucky rivals, the ShamrOCkS.
Dominican Lyceum which fought
its way to the finals in 1922, re-
turned to the championship strug-
gle this year with a stronger team
than before and started by knock
ing off the Harlems with con-
summate ease.
Micky Mcconnell is reported in
shape for mound duty against The
Mohawks and right off the bat
this spells trouble for the champions.
II the Irishman is right, the
Mohawks will need all their we'll
known smuggling power. Vic GauzZa
used most of his pitching staff in
the Shamrock game, but no one
member worked long enough to
queer his arm for today. Finney

limited class with a victory over
the Mohawks.

Stop the Garfields! Hearken to
the cry of teams in Section A Of
the unlimited class. Today they
realize the Garfields threaten to
romp in. Three straight is the
Garfields' record, but the fact that
the Garfields have grabbed a trio
of scalps is not startling. 1t is
rather important, however, that
two Of the scalps belonged to sup
posedly strong foes, namely, Mer
