Today the Washington baseball team
is scheduled to play Columbia University
at American League Park, the weather
permitting.
Manager Lotus still insists: 81 don't
see any reason why Del. should not play
in Washington"
lie doesn't think the turn OF affairs in
the case of George Davis can affect the
big Senator Davis was advised yester-
day by John NJ Ward, his attorney, and
also an ex-baI player, to report to the
New York National League Club for its
opening game on April Is. This advice
Is given in spite Of the decision reached
at the conference OF the two major base
ball organizations
Davis was under two years contract
with the New York team, dating from
1903, when he jumped to the Chicago
Americans. What steps Davis Will take
in the matter is only q conjecture. In
baseball. as well as in any other law. a
subsequent contract always holds, pro-
vided 1t is legal. At the time of-the rup-
tuTe between the American and Nation
al Leagues it was decided that the con-
tracts of all the players who jumped
their clubs should be held Illegal
Whether this be the case with Davis or
not cannot yet be ascertained, but the
fact that he jumped and went to the
Chicago Americans indicates that he had
but little respect for its validity. If he
does decide to go to the New York Club
the other National League Clubs. as
agreed upon at the peace pact, will re-
fuse to play against him.

vided among the players, but there is
no record where the receipts OF exhibit
Of the championship season have been
divided with the players
The old Athletics and Phillies played
games spring and fall for six or seven
years, but they never got any division OF
the spoils.
The players base their claim upon the
fact that their contracts do not begin
until April 20. That is true. Their con-
tracts also demand that they shall re-
port to the club in condition to play
ball For the purpose of having their
players in shape at the opening OF the
season, club owners make extended and
costly trips TO Southern countries. or
to the Hot Springs. All these trips are
made at the expense of the club. Re-
turning home, the expenses of the play
ers are paid up to the time their sal
aries begin.
If. Immediately after the series had
been arranged, they had informed Man
ager Mack of their intention TO declare
themselves in for a share of the receipts,
there might have been some excuse for
their action. The proposition was thor
oughIy discussed by them a week ago
But to wait until the last minute, and

CAPITAL OF LOCAL BANKS

Money Available S53,o4I,44s, Against
SAG, ooo, 900 in 1893.

Reports made TO the Comptroller OF the
Currency by the banks and trust com
panies Of the District of Columbia show
that within the last ten years although
there is one less bank and one more
trust company. the capital Of the banks
of Washington has more than doubled.
The amount OF money available in the
local banks OF Washington is given as
S5S, 041 AS. Ten years ago, with thir-
teen banks and three trust companies.
the capital of all was a little over $23,-
600 600. There is TO be an addition OF
s. 600 900 to this amount within the next
week or two. when the capital of one Of
he trust companies is 10 be doubled,
through arrangements with New York
city bank
The increase in the money available
for business in the local banks is de
cIared to be due entirely to the increase
in wealthy population of the city. There
are many advantageous forms OF invest
ment in the District of Columbia and
the banking business is profitable
Apartment houses have become popu-
lar investment in the city. Many have
recently been completed. more are in
course Of erection. and still others have
been projected and capitalized In ad-
ditlon 10 the national banks and trust
companies, there are a number of saw
Ings banks. the capital of which is not
included in the statement given above.
