with Army at Bayview Park to-
night in the first end of dou-
bleheader. The BARRIERS meet
Navy in the second game.
Plumber captain Jackie Car
bonell last weekend tossed league
officials a puzzling question to
decide when he claimed for his
team the three postponed games
scheduled with the Marines, who
have withdrawn from the league.
Carbonell said two games had
been added to the NavStas' win
column when the Marines for
feited, and demanded that Off
Gals either award three games to
the Plumbers, or knock all Ma
rine games out of the stand
ings.
/ Acquisition of the three games
would leave the Plumbers a
mathematical chance of losing
the league crown, but they would
have to drop games to teams
which they have been walloping
all season. What would happen
to the standings if all the Ma
rine games were eliminated has
not yet been checked up.
If the Plumbers win tonight
against Army, beat the second
place BARRIERS Wednesday and
then get their three games, they
will have won the crown. The
/ Plumbers have six more games
| to play, BARRIERS five, and Nav
Stas. game behind the BARRIERS
and only game-and-a-half out
of first, four. The two league
/ leaders meet for the last time
Wednesday. Stas have two post
poned games to play with the
Pipefitters.
The schedule has been revised
by official scorekeeper to include
all postponed games affecting
4 the three leading clubs. All 9TH
er postponed affairs which have
no bearing on the fight for first
half crown have been eliminat-
ed. League President Manuel
Varela and managers approved
\ the revision.

The light system at Bayview

one of three new bulbs have been
installed, the shadow cast over
home plate by either a right or
left-handed batter is still there.

complain of lack of light in the
