 There has arisen question as to the order in which the postponed games in which the Stanley Rule & Level team is involved, should be played Yesterday the Herald" car ried a story to the effect that the games with the Fafnir and Landers teams would probably be played on successive Saturdays following the closing of the league schedule, ..
 Now comes word from Manager Elton Of the Fafnir team that be- cause the Landers game was sehed- uled before the Fafnir game, it should be played before the Fafnir and Stanley Rule game comes off. In other words, Manager Elton will not set a date for the Fafuir-Stan- ley Rule game until the Stanley Rule-Landers game has been played.
 This gives the final spurt in the league a more interesting aspect as the three teams that are now bat ting for the championship, find themselves facing postponed games that will surely decide the cham pionship of the league. Landers Is leading with the Stanley Rule right behind and the Fafnir team is strong in third place only a short distance behind the leaders.
 The games with the Stanley Rule team will decide which team Will come in for title or for the cham- poinship and an interesting situation will develop. The managers will probably get together within the next few days and decide on when the games will be played.
 Another fact enters into the dates selected for the postponed games and that is the date of the second game whichever it will be. The date was selected for September II, but as this is the date on which plans were laid to hold the Industrial Field and Track meet, it appears that the baseball game will conflict with the events at Memorial Field if it is played,
 To date, little information has beens sgiven out concerning the track meet, and it is not known whether | the Industrial Council plans to carry | out it's plans, although nothing has been said to give the impression that the annual track meet will not be held as per schedule.
 It Is a fact that the two games re- maining to be played with the Stan ley Rule as the opposing team for the other two leaders. are the best that the league will have had and the baseball fans will surely be out strong to witness them.
 The Boys League race is as tight this year as 1t was last with the Washington and Paradise Park teams liable to have to battle it out once again for supremacy. The Washington team has a chance to end the league and win the cham Ponship by taking the game against the Boys Club team on Friday.
 Tf the Washington team loses, then it will be tied with the Para disc Park team for first place and another game will be necessary to decide the championship.
 Last year, it will be remembered, these two teams lost one game each and had to play off the tic with the result that the Paradise Park team won the championship. This year the same situation might happen and if 1t does. it will be fully as in- teresting as last year. Fridays game will decide the entire thing.
 The ddy-Glover post, American Legion baseball team will leave for New Haven tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock bound to play the Ridge field team in the semi-fnas for the state championship.
 Nothing is known of the strength of the Ridgefeld team and the chances of the locals 10 win the game are at the present time, just guess. Those who have seen the team in action, however are certain that the New Britain boys will come through tomorrow to be in the finals.
 If the local team does come through tomorrow, it will have to go to New Haven again on Friday to play the final game for the state championship, This will take Tru- han and Garro away from the Para
