Brewers Can
Win Crown
Tomorrow
BY SID KATZNELL

While interest in local Sandlot
baseball circles centers around the
now very famous Heurich-Miller
battle for the Industrial League
championship, your weather-worn
editor feels he cannot overlook
a team which recently walked off
with the Federal IA title.
That team is Procurement Divi-
sion. These boys will be among
those present in the coming week
day league championships and nat
urally it is wondered just how they
will fare against the opposition
that series will provide.
From all indications the team
will be a dangerous threat. This
stand is taken in view of the pow
erful manner in which the G. P. o.
Federals were trounced for the
league title.
Three triumphs were registered
in this particular play-off series,
and in each the boys went about
their work in as busineSsbke a
manner as could be imagined.
Capable Infield
In the infield the Procurement
outfit points with pride to such
capable performers as Harry Col
lifloWer, second baseman; Jersey"
Jones, peppery shortstop; Slug
ger" Moore, first sacker, and
Scoops" Miller, third baseman.
This combination has weathered
many terrific storms.
"Hirdy" Hirst, formerly Of the
old Takoma Tigers, is the head
man" in the outfield. Hirst is
real ball player, fine fielder and
a timely hitter. The rest OF the
outer defense is made UP Of
Kramer in center and Wilson in
right. Hirst played with the Tigers
when Jake Powell was the big shot
Of the team.
Howard Preston, a curve ball
artist, is the mainstay Of the pitch
ing corps. Preston is not a great
pitcher, but is good enough to
stop the best of 'em when his
curve ball is working.
Well, the Heurichs have an ex-
cellent chance to win one cham
pionship anyway.
They can take the second half
crown of National City Leagues
Section A unlimited division by
trimming the Woodmen Of the !
World on the South Ellipse to-
morrow. The Woodmen of the
World say they will have a hellva
time doing it, because they are
sending their ace right handler,
Charlie Booker, to the hill. Booker |
is a submarine hurler with lots
of stuff, a hard man to hit.
NoIans Near Title
Nolan Motors can win the Sec
ton B crown of the unlimited di-
vision by defeating Old Manhat"
tan Beer on the West ElltpSe.
This will be the second game OF
a three-game series for the cham
pionship. Nolan won the first last
Sunday, 8 to /, behind the bril-
liant pitching Of Hal KieSel.
Union Printers were scheduled
to meet Blue Flames in Section A
tomorrow, but the Flames for
feited their franchise this morn
ing. So, the Printers must idle
tomorrow.
An interesting game is carded
in the midget section. Takoma
Theater, managed by the redoubt-
able Heinie webb, of the Union
Printers, tackles Nationwide in
the first of three-game series for
the championship. The game will
be played on the East Ellipse at
II a. m.
