'ery important Capital City Senior

gain ,undisputed possession Of

or a tie. A loss to Brookland
would throw the race into
three -cornered deadlock between
Brookland A. c., st. Stephens
and Mohawk Props.
Both teams are training vigor'
ously for the contest as there is
something else besides the mere
matter of a victory. The Brook
landerS beat the Saints, 1910,
once but the victory was removed
when st. Stephens protested that
Brookland used Danny Pyne. an
ineligible player. The Suburbinites
claim they will take the measure
of the Saints this time with an
eligible team.
