John T. Brush was conservative in
his remarks concerning this important
deal
I am not well enough acquainted with
all the facts he said, Ito make any radi-
cal statement. The method pursued in the
National League, when it is proposed
TO sell or release a player. is to inquire
OF all the other clubs whether they
want that particular man. If nobody
wants him the club may sell him to a
minor league. am not prepared TO say
whether there has been anything ir-
regular in this trade. If so. it will

SEASON HALF OVER
FOR SCHOOL BALL
Organization of Sunday
Scholars Great Success.
HAS INTERESTING HISTORY
Two Leagues in One and Thousands of
Spectators See Games-Min-
listers Encouraged.

Just one half OF the season Of the
Sunday School Athletic Association has
come TO a close and has been pronounced
by those who have it under their charge
as one of the most successful undertak-
ings that they have been connected
with. both for the benefit of the young
men who belong and also for the bene-
tit CT the churches which were lucky
enough 20 get into the movement when
it was In its youth.
IT is the most ambitious enterprise
that has ever been tried in amateur
baseball circles In Washington, and
lie getting the support Of people who are
not only well off financially. but who
take an interest in such things and push
them along to their full limit
History Is Simple
The history Of the organization is
simple. Last year at the beginning of
the baseball season there was a lot of
baseball material. with no definite pro-
gram for the season. Many Of these
boys did not attend any church or Sun
day School This was taken UP by
some Of the men In authority in the
churches, with the hope Of making the
churches profit by having the young
men attenI
The organization was given the name
of Church League and the success was
such that 1t was soon followed up by
some other churches in different parts
Of the city, following the lead of the
Church Lcagu forming a league which
was given the name of the Sunday
School League. Last year there were
two distinct leagues Of six clubs each
Two Games Daily.
When the matter was brought up for
this year by some influential churchmen
Of Washington IL was decided to make
one organization out of the twelve clubs
and have two grounds and a game on
each ground every day. This was ar
ranged. the constitution remOdeled, and
several clauses added which made il
harder to become eligible. The princi-
pal clause on this point read that every
member Of the organization TO become
/ eligible must put in 50 per cent of three
months attendance at some Of the Sun
day schools that belong 10 the league.
and after becoming eligible must keep
! up a percentage of 50 per cent.
I This league is doing wonderfully well
, in getting the young men TO attend Sun
J day school. and in the end great re-
suits are expected by the men who
( are at the head of the movement.
J Repeating the words Of one Of the
I pastors who is one of the hardest root
ers on the Mount Pleasant grounds: IF
/ it takes baseball to make the boys come
B to Sunday school and church. l am in
/ favor Of baseball" To stick 10 these
words he turns out on the Mount
! Pleasant grounds TO see several games

best fans there.

From a spectators point these games
are the most interesting that take place
In the city. Every move is watched
by thousands Of people who stand ready
10 criticise any step that does not suit
them
Last year there was trouble on &C
count Of the so-called professional play
ers. This year no provision is made
against the professionals. If they come
up to the requirements Of the constitu-
ton they may play. This has saved a
lot Of hard feeling. and. incidentally, has
brought a lot of the best players into
the league, and given the fans a chance
10 witness games OF ball that they would
not have seen il they were barred.
The only hitch I'm the affairs Of the
league this year has been over the UNI

at the beginning OF the season, and two
Of these were retained. One made good
