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:
