UT lHese two Serlcs Will mean the final game for the championship.
 The Warriors have written in to this office 10 say that they read the claim of the Speedboys to the junior championship of the city and they wish to contest this claim. They would like to arrange a three-game series to settle the championship question. They leave directions that managers should call S359-4 for games.
 The Rangers baseball players feel sighted because they were not in- vited to take part in the series of games for the title of the city. This is a matter of opinion among many Some think the Rangers not en- titled to so into the series and others figure that they should be included among the leading teams of the city,
 No opinion as to the merits of the teams in question has gone forth from this office, nor shall there be one. Certain members of the Rangers team are of the opin- ion that the sports editors of the papers should have held out for the Rangers to be included in the series In this they are wrong, as the sports editors have nothing 10 do with the series outside of being interested as to who will be the champions of the city.
 The meeting of the baseball man. agers was called in the Herald" office solely in a movement to get the managers together. If four managers figured that the Ii was too short to attempt to play with six teams entered, then if the Rangers have a grievance, it should be put before those managers and not DGfOrG CutSlderS,
 We suggest that if the Rangers or any other team in the city ng- ures itself as good or better than the four teams entered in the city title series, that those teams chal- lenge the winner of the finals to a championship series. That would be the best way out of the difficulty and would settle the question where it ought to be settled on the baseball diamond.
 We believe that those interested in sports in this city give the sports writers the credit of being at least as favorable to one team as they arc to the other and, in the matter of city series and which teams should be entered, we think that is up to the public and the managers. If the managers of two teams cannot connect, we figure that's none of our business.
 One thing we noticed about the yame Sunday and that was tn. calibre of the fans who occupied the grand stand. Here all the raging that goes with d ball game was heard, but when good play was pulled off by the Pirates, the stands were just as generous with their applause. The fans in Kensington Sunday were out to enjoy the ball game and they did enjoy it. It was certainly a Corkcr.
 A word about the work of the two umpires in Sundays game would not be amiss. Mike Lynch behind the plate, gave d great eX- hibtion of calling them while Herb Sautter worked q neat game on the bases, Herbie ruled that ball that Goeb seemingly caught off the grass, was a hit, and although the Pirates protested the decision and Goeb claimed he caught the ball, Sautter called the play the way he saw fl, It didn't do any damage in the long run.
 A mistake was made in giving Billy Chant credit for the game that the Rangers played against Willi- mantle last Sunday, It was stated that Chant pitched the contest and won out while Rehm was the man who turned in the good work. Chant called us on the phone and stated that he wanted the mistake correct ed as he did not wish the credit for some game he did not pitch
