The winner of that playoff, unless it’s Frontier, will play the Cafe-men in a playoff to determine the league champion. Frontier wonthe first half crown.An elimination tournament is on deck for Federal League teams starting a week from Thursday.A DEADLOCK for first also exists in the Industrial League, but with five games remaining on theschedule, the loop could wind up with a clearcut pennant winner.Sorg dropped out of sole possession of first place last week and Armco took a share of the top spot by winning twice.The standings were further shakened when Wrenn Paper’s lone win over Aeronca was takenaway when the Planemaker’s protest of Wrenn’s use of ineligible players was upheld.Aeronca’s second protest, filed after their loss to Gardner Board, was not allowed.
