to tackle the Fasteners in a third
match that would decide the award.
Neidfeldt or Raines, two clever box
men, will be called to succor the
Fasteners cause, while Coyle or
Augustine hope to toll on the mound
for Ransdell.
Another scrap in the Potomac loop
is anticipated when the st. Joseph
nine tackles the Rialtos, in a game
starting at $3.50 o'clock, at the Wash
fngton Barracks. These teams have been

days victor will be well on the way

With the Union Printers in Chicago
competing in the Union Printers In
ternational Base Ball League series,
interest in Section 3 of the Potomac
series is below par. The Typos will
return for next Sundays competition,
however, and continue their valiant
fight for the title against the Hill
tops. The District Printers, by the
way, have set a task for themselves
this season. They already have copped
the award in the Departmental series,
but they hope to succeed in the Po-
tomac League and at the Chicago
tourney for the right to meet the
amateur championship team of the
National Base Ball Federation.
An unusually attractive card is
promised in the Independent loop.
Mickey's Johnson's Cherrydale toss
ers will have their hands full in a
game with the Shamrocks at the
Georgetown Hollow. The Virginians
were unable to place a team on the
field last Sunday against the Knicks
because several of their players were
injured in an automobile accident.
Today, however, Cherrydale intends
to show the Harps something about
the sport With. Lefty Kuhnert on
the mound, the Shamrocks are conf
dent of winning. Each of the four
games in the series will start at 3
o'clock.
Base ball of high order should re-
suit in the Dominican Lyceum-Pet
worth Athletic Club game at Union
Park. Severely trounced by the Mo-
hawks last Sunday Petworth aims to
give better account of itself against
the Dominicans. Chase or Edelin,
signment for Petworth, while Domin-
lean Lyceum will depend on McCon-
nell or Grazzini. win over the
Lyceun' combination would be quite
Grier Of Petworth, s the former
team garnered the title in the first
set o. games and is fayorite to re-
peat in the second series.
Fans interested in the Independent
loop are manifesting a deal OF inter-
est in the Arlington Athletic Club,
that was nosed cut by Dominican
Lyceum in the first series. The Vir-
ginia nine now is leading the race in
the second set of matches and it in
tends to continue it's pace against the
knickerbockers today on the Airing
ton field. Form sharks are puzzled
over the showing of the Knicks in
the series games. The Georgetown
team apparently possesses talented
players, but it has failed to produce
the punch.
During it's recent game with Do
minican Lyceum in a benefit card in
- 10 IL - 4
many opportunities to put the game
on ice, but ragged play marred their
performance. Player for player, the
knicks are as strong as their rivals.
As team. however. they lack the
workmanship of a winning combina-
tion.
