Masten, as a result of her tie game vith South Park last week Is considered a favorite for the east-west clash, but the Mellenite showed up exceptionally wen against Technical and are apt to' spring a surprise on -the hM school team. HsMng held South Park rto he tie game last week, Masten still shows a clean a) ate In the Harvard series and hopes to win her remaining games with Lafayette and Tedhlnical by large scores to Jay a claim to the local chanxcdonahkp on' her performances in the event of a tie with Soutti Park on games won or lost. Losers Take Last Place Technical and Hutchinson in the second game of the twin bill will be fighting to keep out of the cellar. The Mechanics have lost two games this season and Technical (has one loss, neither side having won a game.

The loser of the meeting Saturday will be the sole occupants of the cellar berth. Predictions point to the Hutchin-son-Teobnlcal game being the best of the doubleheader. The little Rfed team, though bested by the Mellen-ites, gave batSfle throughout, twice coming within range of the opposing goal, only to weaken and falter. Tbeftr play was an improvement over that against South Park earlier in the season and with Chuck Smith capably fining the breach left vacanit owing to the injury to Johnny Shields, the eleven will be at the peak of strength for Hutch. Broconier, Captain Nolan, Oswald and Smith in the backfleld will be worthy foes for Captain Glenn.

Both these towns are within easy reach of Rochester and it would only be natural that the stables be shipped there before the Jump which carries the trotters to Albion- It is possible that Rochester will be assigned the opening meeting the last week in July and then to ehlp the horses to Brockport, from where the circuit could carry on the same as last summer- The addition of Rochester to the circuit will be thirteen tracks, mem-J bers of the organization.

Hoppe's employment of English, angles and speed so completely mastered Horemans as to leave him hopelessly trailing after the early innings. Hoppe's average was 65 6-9, and best of the tournament so far and his high runs 134, 99 and 97. Horemans did not employ his famous masse with the usual success.

His average was 19 6-9 and his best run 70, 62 and 26. Conti displayed excellent control, once he had gauged the speed of the table. HHs close ball to ball billiards was excellent.
