in hitting the ball for a home run on

CHAMPION WEIGHT THROWE2
Flanagan Will Make an Effort to Es-
tablish Kew Worlds Records.

Flanagan, who will be a competitor
at the knights of Columbus games at
Celtic Park. will endeavor to establish
4 new worlds record. on June q. at
Celtic Park, the occasion being the first
annual games of the knights OF Colum-
bus. Thousands of his admirers will be
on hand to watch him carry out his in
tention. and will await the call of the
announcer procla;ming new worlds
record for throwing the hammer.
1t is the consensus of opinion that
John Flanagan. the champion weight
thrower, can make new worlds record
at throwing the hammer whenever he
cares to do so. He is now hard at work
conditioning himself, not that he fears
that any competitor will reach his
present record, but in order to place the
figures where no one Of the present gen.
GRAFTON. at least. can get near them.

After starting out on their western
trip mcst inglorlously by being defeated
three times by Chicago, the Senators
finished the week in fine shane. In the
Chicago series the element Of luck en-
tered largely into the contests, two of
them being won by the Windy City
men with a margin of a single run.
Tho Senatorial pitchers worked well
as a rule, but the ether fellows did
just bit better, and. besides. at crit
zeal moments. when hit meant a run.
We were not equal to the occasion.
The st. Louis series ended better than
it commenced. Slow work on the bases
and inability to knock out hit at
opportune times are said to be the rea-
sons for the loss CT the opening game
at st. Louis. But, after that defeat,

Eight Teams in Race.

The following teams comprise the or,

Office Treasury, District Building. Gov

the Interior Department.
There are three teams in the league
which were not in it last year These
represent the Navy Yard. District
Building, and the Marine Corps. - The
fact of there being more contestants
for the pennant lends additional life to
the league, and the rivalry is greater.
They are stronger than the average
baseball fan would imagine.
One thing that strengthens the teams
is that they are allowed to play four
outside men. that is. those not employed
in the department which they represent.
II the manager of one of the teams has
chance to secure the services of a
good semi professional player, he may

perior article. Hanlon's men of late
have been putting up little better ball
than the others, and are now resting in
second place, with the Remnants follow

Superbas continue their squirt they are
very apt to drop when the East begins
its crusade in the West.
Cincinnati holds on to the bottom OF
the ladder along with st. Louis ard the
Giants The latter. although a few
points to the good, would be hopelessly
out of it ere this were it not for the
fact that they hold few good twirlers,

would seem from their standing that the
first two or three outclass those not so
far up the ladder. but such Is not the
case. The teams that grace the tail end
of the procession have, and will continue
to, put up just as good an article of ball
as the leaders, but they all have their
ups and downs.
At present the Navy Yard aggregation
heads the league This team is shifty
aggregation, and is well coached and
managed The pitching of Lefty Cieve-
land, the cne- armed pitcher, is also
responsible to large degree for their
standing. Cleveland is not only one OF
the best twirlers in the league. Dc

the organization a high place in local

ball as any amateur league in this
country. In the ranks of the various
teams are to be found men who have

which offers were not considered, as
the men do not wish to sever their

Lotus and his baseball players from
Washington were very much disappoint-

In the first place, the Senators had
just finished a very successful engage

confidence in their ability to defeat the
Wolverines.
Then, again, when the Tigers last met

Mr.. Lamar in the Field.

Mr.. Lamar. the president. has a team
in the field, and it is a good one, too.
The Interior team has played seven
games. and has managed to land three
of them, dropping the others after hard
fights.
The Printers have played In hard
luck, and it looks now as though they
would do something before long. Ash
ley, their old reliable twirler. is a slab
artist of the first order. He complete
ly outpoints his rival in almost every
game, but is handicapped by bad sup
port.
Manager Havens has also made the
mistake of playing too many men and
not playing the same nine men in all of
his games. The lack of team work has
caused the Printers to lag behind while
the others forged ahead. Bielash plays
a good game at third but sometimes
Havens plays some one else there. Hunt
is a good catcher, but is seldom seen
behind the bat as the manager is trying
new receivers.

ury team has caused little anxiety in
