way means that the players there aer determined to make up for last Sundays blow-up and woe be to the team on which its wrath falls.
 The Orioles and the Rangers will start q. battle all their own next Sunday at the old Pioneer grounds when the two teams clash in the first of a three-ga series for the junior semi-pro championship of the city.
 These two outfits are about as evenly matched as teams can be and their private war is sure to bring out plenty of rooters.
 Landers will play the Union Works at Willow Brook park to- night in a postponed Industrial lea Eue game. This will leave six post poned games to be played. The Union Works must meet R. 6 E. in game postponed from July IT. R. & F. has a game against P. 6 F. Corbin to play, postponed from last Saturday. The Stanley Rule must take on Corbins, the game to have been played on July 31. Be- sides this there Is the clash between the Rule Shop and Landers which was scheduled August and last weeks game between the Stanley Rule and Fafnirs.
 The last named game will probab- ly be played after the season is over because Fafnirs have several men on the team who are working nights an they will be unable to show up fc' the games.
 This will give the teams plenty of work if the games, or the majority of them are to be finished before a week from this Saturday. This is the closing date for the league but it looks as if several post season games will have to be played.
 Two games were gotten out of the way last night and another will be played tonight. This means that more games will have to be played next week during the twilight hours.
 F'afnirs has only one postponed game to play and that is the one which was scheduled for last Sat urday. Rain and wet grounds pre- vented any possibility of these be- ing played so it leaves the Fafnir team the only one in the league that has played all its games accord ing to schedule.
 Four Industrial league games are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at Willow Brook park. and as far as is known three of them will be played while another is in doubt. Stanley Works will meet Fafnirs at o'clock on Diamond No. 1 and the New matics will play the Stanley Rule at the same time on Diamond No. ,. Corbins will play Union Works at o'clock on Diamond No. 2 while the Landers-R. & E. game is in doubt.
 There will be no game at Willow Brook park tonight, according to the latest dope. Landers would not play unless the game could be start ed at 4 o'clock and as the Union Works players could not get off at that time, there will be no game.
 The Stanley Rule and Landers game will be staged on Saturday after the league season closes This will be classic providing neither team loses its games between now and then. The Stanley Rule is carded to play the Fafnir teams two weeks from tomorrow, the first Saturday after the league closes.
 Morelli of the R. & E. team just called up to state that his team Will play Landers at the scheduled tune tomorrow afternoon. He further states that the RussWin crew is go- ing to take a fall out of the league leaders. He feels confident that Landers will have one defeat chalk ed up against them after the game tomorrow.
 Jess Norton, at one time one of the best sprinters in the city, IS out to COD some prizes in the coming Industrial league field and track meet. Jess and a couple of train CTS were down at Willow Brook park last night and he went through a fine workout.
 Several other athletes are doing great training in preparation for the meet and there is going to be stlh competition for all the factory ath- Ietes when the meet is held.
 This will be the second annual event and if the interest keeps up' there should be a great turnout oi track fans on the date of the meet which Is set for September II al Willow Brook park.
