League Standing

games scheduled in the Industrial Baseball league. the question ot whether the P. & r. Corbin base ball teamNis to make a runaway Of the pennant race from now on. is to be settled. The pace setters in the Rule 6. Level crew in what is con- sidered one of the most important contests of the entire season.
 The manner in which the Stanley Rule team, with Spencer whizzing them over against the opposition. has been moving down the teams it has met, nas caused those who want to see the Corbin team defeated, take heart and figure that, after all, the Rulers might be able to give the Corbinites at least temporary set back.
 The Corbin team. however, is noted for its liking of fast ball pitching and the players are confi- dent that they will prove the old time adage that the faster they come in the faster they go out.
