B'nai B’rlth was leading in the National League- with 10 victories and 4 defeats, a game ahd a half ahead of the Elks, with a 0 and 9- record. The leaders wjll play the Hotajlans, third wl-th *7 and 7, to night and then the Elks on Monday night. The Republican Club and Freeport Bank nines -were in a flat-footed tie with 7 victories and 6 defeats, half a game ahead of the Federals, who have won 7 and lost a like num ber, but-with a string of five straight victories to t h ^ credit. Another complication is that the O.OR/s have a protested game to be decided in w h l ^ they lost to Meadow Brooks. Should the victory be awarded the ^publicans they would be a game m the lead with five contest sched uled. Consequently the race Is still open' with three teams very much in the running. The Federals are to meet Meadow Brooks tonight and the GXDF.'s Tuesday, with the champion^lp in doubt probably to the last minute. In the Pony League, the Motors who ran away from the field during the first half of the schedule, with 8 .,‘,.>y)ctOTies and I defeat, have found . the going considerably harder dur ing the second period but* Are still two and a half games ahead of the Metal-Stare and Sanders who have been hot. However, they need only more wins to clinch the title.
