SECOND LAP FOR AMATEURS TODAY Murphys to Battle Both Town sends and Stags in Series for Class B Cham- pionship. By FRANK QUIGLEY. At Melady's meadow this afternoon the second chapter of the Class B championship series will be on tap. Six games will be played to determine the winner, two of which have al ready been reeled off. One was cap tured by the Tpwnsends and the other by the Murphy Did Its. Both games were excellent dishes. Apparently everybody was well pleased with the base ball dished p by the champions of the various leagues. Of course the oui-come did not prove palatable to some. Approximately 2.0QO fans at tended the games last Sunday and as the seating capacity of the park was taxed to the limit about 500 more seats will be available today. To date the Murphy Did Its, champions of the City league, have tasted first place in the Class B championship, and, as their peppery leader says it tastes better than anything his squad has sampled this season, he and the gang are determined to hold roost one. It will be remembered that the Murphy Did Its won the Class B honors last season, and, as the majority of the fans are not in favor of one team winning the honors for two cotfsecu tive seasons, consequently the Stags and Townsends are the-favorites with the local base ball populace. The initial debate today will be railed on the boards at one and a half strikes between the Murphy Did Its and the Stags. Last Sunday's game placed the Stags n the basement, but, according to their irrepressible man ager, Victor Lund, they will rise out of the cellar this afternoon at the ex pense of the Murphys. All the mem bers of th Stag team are just bugs to hand the blacksmiths a lemon, and, if they succeed in tickling the pill like they used to, possibly this difficult task can be accomplished. In the twirling department there is not much difference between the three teams and in fielding they re approximately evenly hooked op, but with the pole the Murphvs arc demon sluggers, while the other two teams are only mediocre. Thei.' clubbing ability m what makes the Murphy Did Its the best bet in the race.. In all probability Rasmus will hoist the cherry for the Slags, while Fontaine Vernon will be ou the firing line for the Murphy Did Its. Play Townsends Next. As soon as the. initial argument Is history, the Murphy Did Its will hook up with the Townsends. Fans that saw these two teams clash last Sun day know that a nifty duelyill be on the bill of fare. Either Probst or Smith will hoist the pill for the Town sends and Peter McCoy . will be the choice of Manager Moran. Lineups: FIRST GAME Murphy Did 'tan. . . , . Brae , ., Bench , .. Conly .....
