As the sandlotters reached the
undefeated leaders of the Manufacturers loop, loomed as the city’s topnotch aggregation. Managed by the former big leaguer, Reb Russell, the Reliables have had little trouble in annexing their first seven contests. They eliminated the final obstacle in their maarch to remain undefeated last Sunday when they turned in a victory over Allison's, last year's city champs, who are runnersup in the league standings.
Threatened by DeWolf
The only challenge the Reliables may have as the city's top team may come from Manager Bob Elliott of DeWolf News whose ag-
circuit with a record of seven victories against no defeats. The Newsmen, however, have run into trouble the last three weeks, being forced into extra innings by Mitchel-Scott and winning by one run from 40 & 8 and Armour Social club. They have shown ability to come from behind and may be just as good as the Reliables over the stretch. The respective loop leaders should have little trouble remaining in the 1.000 per cent class tomorrow. The Reliables tangle with Lukas-Harold, who have won three and lost four, at Garfield No. 3, while DeWolf clashes with J. D. Adams Co., which has a record of two victories against five losses, at Riverside No. 4.
