day on the Ellipse, when the
Bureau of Investigation and O. P. o. ball
mines clash in the play-of series for
the Departmental League championship.

batting edge over Taylor Of 1nvestiga-
ton, with .345 to his rivals .245. At
second base Singman of Investigation
has .30l to Sirnons .256. At third
Connor Of Investigation has 1886 to
Homans .308 Figures on the rival
shortstops. Fischer Of the Sleuths and
Garland Of G. P. O., favor the latter.
Fischer is batting .384 to Gartland's
.27s.
In the outfield G. p. o.'s gardeners
have proven the harder hitters. Nose
dale of G. P. O., in left field, is socking
for .388 to Shapiro's 1854. Schneider
Of the Typos, in center. is outhitting
Snyder Of Investigation, the figures
being 1915 to .2s9 In right field Rau-
Der of the Sleuths is outhitting Sole,
1854 to 1856
The rival catchers, Rosser OF Investi-
CATION and Sorrell of G. p. O., are bat
