* SHOULD BE DETERMINED Forty-Two Games Are Seheduled in Four Sections of Title Play—Union Printers Are to. Make Bow in Unlimited Class. | | i i L BY JOHN B. KELLER. VT EAMS that are to be real factors in the struggles for thes several city independent sandlot base ball titles should be revealed this week. Forty-two games are scheduled in the four divisions of the series and the pairings are such that all of the supposedly stronger pines will get thorough tests. Several aggregations have found the going rather easy so far, but from now on no team that stops to pick daisies. can hope to gather iaurels at the finish. There are some nines well rated according to early season form due to make their starts in the tourneys during the week and they are likely to add much zest to the party. Burying a makeshift club under an avalanche of hits and runs is one matter, but attempting to inter in a similar manner another bunch that does not take kindly to_such treat- ment is something else altogether. It appears that some chesty nines are about to-fall into pits of their own digging. One of the newcomers to the series is the team drafted from members| WHERE SANDLOT TEAMS of the Typographical Unjon. These Union Printers, as they are called.

LAYERS of major league teams are quicker to sense the weakress of teams against which they compete than managers or owners. They discuss among themselves the shortcomings of other players, but very rarely will they talk to “outsiders.” For the definition of “out- 2| siders,” include the public generally and base ball critics. However, to some writers, players—certain of them—tell everything they know in the most straightforward manner. That is almost invariably the result of personal friendship.
