The final games of the season are sched- uled for next Saturday, when Wash- ington Grove plays at Rockville, Dickerson at Bethesda and Glet Echo at Boyds. Should Rockviii lose to Washington Grove, which i; not regarded as probable, and Bethes da win from Dickerson, which it looked for, the close of the seasor would find Rockville and Bethesds tied for first place and a speciy series would be necessary to decid( the pennant winner. Should Boyds defeat Glen Fcho mext Saturday i could do no better than tie Bethesds for second place.
