CLERKS LEAGUE
RACE TIGHT

a heated ending TO the Govern
ment League schedule. That is,
it looms as such on the events
taking place these days of late, as
the Second-haf series nears its
termination.
It will be remembered the first
half series had an all-imporGant
and thrilling ending. Naval Hos
pital finished on top Of the heap,
but only after a grueling struggle
in the last days.
Now the same situation comes
to the fore, with Naval Hospital
again the fighter for the honors.
The Gobs are in first place at
present, but only by a slim margin
and the last few games to come
will determine whether they will
be the winners of the second half
or not.
It's q weII-knOwn fact that
they have played the best ball
Of the other teams in the cir
cult, up to recently. But re-
Gently the "othcr teams" have
found 1t possible to defeat
them and play q little better
ball thay they.
Can it. be that the Gobs have
gone at too great clip for the
year? Can it be that they have
suddenly gone stale? The "other
teams" are wondering, the fans
Of the circuit, too.
Yesterday the Gobs took it on
the chin for a most inopportune
loss. The G. p. o. baseballers,
fighting like a club never did
fight, won a to 4 game thereby
throwing their opponents into a
most precarious situation in the
league race.
True, the Gobs did not fall
from the leadership by the set
back, but they fell, from the easy
path they would have had to-
ward the second half champion.
ship had they won. Now to cop
the title they must fight all the
harder and fight to the last end
because Of the renewed ambitions
Of the clubs in the race for the
banner.
G. p. o. advanced to third
place by its victory yesterday.
Far back yet from . percent
age standpoint, its chances Of
gaining further ground are
good on the games it yet has
to play, both in the regular
schedule and the postponed
contests it has existing on the
pOned group existing on the
schedule.
The GobS don't have to worry
about the G. p. o. nine right
now. however. They will have to
watch the Navy Yard tosSerS.
which team is In second place
only one game behind. They
play the Navy Yard boys next
Tuesday in a game which will
have a great deal to do with the
final winning Of the champion
ship either way.
The feeling among the Naval
Hospital players is all champion
ship and nothing else, however.
They realize they have lost sew
eral opportunities to really take
3 big lead in games Of late, but |
they feel that they can fight just |
rs hard as the others II a fight |
is to be had in the final gaining |
of the flag.
All Of which time can only tell.
The Gobs made q gallant ef-
fort to snatch the game out of |
the fire later but failed as,
Frank Corkins put every
thing he had in reserve to check |

three in the seventh for their
