The end of the first week of the season
finds the Times juvenile League running
along smoothly and the teams more deter
mined than ever that the name of their
club shall grace the space leit vacant Tor
the winner on tie beautiful trophy pre-
sented 10 the league by this paper.
Some idea can now he formed of the
relative strength OF the different teams,
the weak srots being made apparent and
thus enabling The managers TO iii in the
gaps. After seeing all of the clubs play
ii is very evident that there are some very
tinc amateur clubs in the league and also
two or three weak ones
SATURDAYS GAMES.
Decoration Day was a great day for the
boys, three games being played, two OF
which turned out To he fine contests. The
other one, on account of only three innings
being played, will count as game for
feited by the Chesareakes to the Poto-
macs. The score ut tie end of the third
inning was so one-sided, in favor Of the
latter, that tie Chcsapeakes requested TO
have the game called, but that was wrong.
No matter how resided the score shall be
i've innings must he played, otherwise
the game Will be declared forfeited to the
club in the lead al tie time play is stopped.
But this must not be construed To conflict
with the rules governing the calling OF Il
game on the refusal OF club to continue
after being ordered TO play by the umpire.
1t is only intended 10 give the club that
is behind in the score the choice of playing
| five innings or forfeting the game.
| As stated in the Evening Times Of Sat
| urday, the Eastern Buds defeated the
Eastern Eagles i'll the morning game by the
score Of 80 to Z.
The second game, between the Potomacs
and Chesa pea kes, counts as game for
| feited by the Chesapeakes. The third con
| test, between the Senators Junior and the
| Georgetown Eagles, proved 10 bc the most
| exciting one of the day. Although the
| crowd was so large as To annoy the players
| at times, a good game WAS put up by both
| sides, the Georgetown Eagles finally VIII
| ming the game by the score of 20 to 10.
| The work of the umrires has been eN-
| cel.ent so far, and the only thing that
could be commented upon is allowing the
players too much latitude. This has been
| true in only one or two cases, however, and
| has been caused by the actions of one or
| two of the clubs. II will not be consid-
cred necessary 10 call the attention Of the
| teams 10 the fact that rowdy bali playing
| will not be tolerated, the teams offending
| laying themselves liable 10 summary dis
| missal from the League.
HOW THE CLUBS STAND.
