AMATEUR
BASE BALL

While the outlook for professional base
ball this coming season is unusually bright,
II Is not more so than that of the anna
tours. Reports from all over the country,
particularly the large cities, are to the eff
feet that the amateurs are organizing
leagues In unheard of numbers, and that
every available open lot has been secured
for games. In Boston there will be some
thing like 1.soo teams playing ball. and
this, 1t is believed. will be the banner city
of the country, although New York and
Philadelphia class up high.
Here in Washington the outlook was
never more promising than for the coming
season. New leagues are being formed and
the older ones have increased their men,

win be several independent clubs made

Boston Champions.

AS Boston finished first last season and
the season before, it is entitled to the pre-
mier discussion as to this years chances
The management of this club is undoubtedly
afraid of Pitcher Cyrus Young. Last year
the veteran depended almost entirely on
speed and the elevated pitchers box helped
him materially. Another six months have
been added to YoungS shoulders, the box
has been lowered and ii remains 10 be seen
whether he will continue the high class
twirler as in the past. The signing OF Bur-
kett was ten strike by Manager Collins, as
the veteran will do his best to show the st.
Louis people that they made mistake in
driving him out of Mound city. Other
wise the team will remain as 1t was last
season, the youngsters on the payroli
breaking into the game only in case of acct
dent. Eliminate accidents and the Bostons
can be counted upon to be in the race all
the time. The players have been through
two bruising campaigns and can be de-
pended upon to give Manager Collins their
best efforts something that Manager Crit
fifth of the New Yorks can appreciate.
Dinneen. Gibson and Tannehill are I'M
doubtedly trio of pitchers who class up
with the best In the business, while Young
and Winter will do to fall back upon in
case of necessity. George IaChance is the
only doubtful quantity in the entire outfit.
and II is about a ten to one chance that
big George" will be found on the first
corner of the infeld as usual next season.
He is a splendid fielder and the other
Bostonese will bat hard enough to carry
him along. To figure the BOstons out along
past performances the conclusion is
reached that the team finishing ahead of
them will win the penant.
Manager Collins has decided to carry
along the following players until he can
figure out the best and perhaps farm
those not wanted: Criger, Farrell, Mccoy
ern, Doran, catchers; Dinneen, Gibson,
Young Tannehill Winter, Olmstead, SEES
sions, Josselyn and Morton pitchers; La
Chance Grimshaw and Shaffer, first base;
third base Burkett. left field; Stahl center
field; Freeman, right field; Setback, ing
laub. Weller and Abbott, utility.

Autonobi1ing

Automobile licenses have been issued by
the District government up to 1910 at the
time this story is written and probably they
will be increased considerably by the time
the account is in the hands of The STAR
readers 1t was less than eight years ago
that the District Commissioners refused 10
license the appearance on the streets OF
"horseless vehicle" so-called for lack or
better name as the word automobile
had not then been drafted into general
use. 1t was in August of 1897 that The
Star took occasion to demonstrate with the
Commissioners for their conservatism In
keeping the "horseless vehicle of the
streets. The Star pointed out that the horse
did not have any exclusive proprietary
rights on the public highway, that while ne
was a true friend of man and had been
identified with much of the worlds prog
ress, he was also an expensive and trouble
some necessity of city life; that he furnish
ed a maximum of noise and dirt In eX-
change for the service he rendered to man,
and there was every reason for giving the
new mode of locomotion fair show, and
If necessary relegate the horse to the
country districts, where he was still es-
sential and in large measure unobjecton-
able.
Great changes have been wrought In
eight years The District has now licensed
well over a thousand of the horseless car
riages and they have been doing just what
The Star intimated when the first one APP
peared on the scene. They have not nurt
the position of the horse at all But they
have begun to take his place in the cities
and they are RELOCATING him to the outside
districts, where he is comparatively unobjec-
tionable Automobiles are still an expen-
sive luxury. They cost a good deal as an
initial investment though they are getting
cheaper to run and they are far more rell-
able than in their early days. They have
not yet come to be as common as tele-
phones which are now an essential of
we'll regulated household almost much
as gas or hydrant water, but they are
in the stables of almost everyone who can
afford to own one whether horses are kept
or not and they are displacing horses Tor
certain classes of work just as certainly as
the telephone is supplementing, II not dis
placing the mail and the telegraph

Sunday School League.

The Sunday School League, which was
made UP of twelve clubs last season, has
added two more, making fourteen in all.
These will be divided into two sections,
known as A and B. The first named sec
ton will play on the old Mount Pleasant
grounds, while the second section Will
hold forth at the White Lot.
The teams composing section A will be
the seven teams which landed nearest the
top last season, namely: Fourth, Gunton,
Gurley, st. Stephens, Foundry, Mt. Pleas
ant Congregational and Mt. Pleasant Meth
odist.
Section B will be composed of teams that
have qualified this season, with the excep-
ton of the Sixth Presbyterian. These are
Calvary Baptist, Metropolitan Baptist.
Fifth Baptist, First Congregational, Doug
las Memorial, and Sixth Presbyterian and
one other.

Departmental League.

The well-known Departmental League
went out of existence last season, but the
base ball spirit struck the clerks this
spring, and it will be early in the field.
Many clerks have been first-class ball play
ers before coming to Washington and the
getting back into harness will certainly be
joy to them. The different departments
that have made application for admittance
to the league are: Treasury Interior, Agri-
culture, Navy, War, Justice and Post Of
flee Departments and the Library Of Con-
gress. Applications are expected from the
Department of Commerce and Labor and
the State Department.

Browns an Unknown Quantity.

The st. Louis aggregation is certainly an
unknown quantity. There are several first
class men on the payroll of The club, and
should the new men secured come up to
expectations the prophets who have con-
signed the Browns to one of the last three
places on the championship ladder may be
woefuly deceived. Should Rockenfield
prove the wonder he is "touted' to be at
second base and Stone bat up to his minor
league FORM this pair may be able to push
the Browns into the first division. If they
prove false alarms 1T is all over with the
McAleerites, as Glade is about the only
first-class pitcher they have. Sudhoff at one
time gave evidence of being a fine twirer,
but poor support drove him almost wild
and he fell far short of first class timber
last season. Manager McAleer is not man
to inspire young players and few pan out
well after coming under his direction. He
will have the following group to look after
this summer:
Sugden. Mathews and Weaver, catchers;
Glade, Howell, Petty, Sudhoff, Buchanon
Morgan, Swan, Stillman and Reagan, pitch
ers; Jones. first base; Rockenfield, second
base; Wallace, third base; Moran, short
stop; Heidrick, Stone and Frsk, outfield-
ers; Padden, Hynes and Koehler substi-
tutes.

Doctors and Others.

Doctors and Others.
Among the doctors the automobile for
professional purposes is rapidly displa cing
the horse. DR.. J. Dudley Morgan drives an
electric speed wagon, and 1t may be said
that the electric vehicle is the general type
In use among physicians
1t is in the physicians service that the au-
tomobileis most rapidly displacing the horse,
and II probably will not be long before doc
tor who still drives a buggy will be looked
upon by the community much as one is now
who has not telephone In his Office. As
pleasure vehicle the auto Is also displa cing
the horse just as the horse has been COM
pletely ousted from the street car service
IN all but the outlying sections of the big
cities. At the same time the horse dealers
say, and probably with truth. that the auto
has not hurt the horse market and that
good horses for heavy draft and road work
are In more demand than ever and a good
horse of any sort brings better price than
he did ten years ago.
1t is fact. however. that a great deal
or the heavy hauling in Washington is now
being done with motors. They are as re-
liable as horses. cheaper and speeder. and
those are the things that count with the
business man. There. are a number of
motors in use by the big breweries for de-
livery work and they are much more than
doing the work of the horses they have
displaced at a reduced cost. The express
companies are also going In for delivery
motor wagons and the department stores
all have one or more for light and speedy
work. The Star is beginning to use them
for delivery work because they are fast and
convenient and those who look can see The
stars motor van on the street every after
noon.
AS to the various sorts of power cleo
tricity is unquestionably coming to the
front for city work. 1t has all the adj
vantages and none of the drawbacks of the
nf har e ,fa EarI 1.
remaining types of gasoline and steam,
gasoline is the most In favor for long dis
lance and touring as being cheaper and
rapidly becoming quite as reliable. Steam
cars are still on the market in large num-
bers and they have number of ad-
vantages.

The Marquette League has already gotten
together for the coming season, and their

The Independent clubs will be fully repre-
sented in the Commissioners, Norris Peters
and Dumbarton teams, and as many Of the
members thereof have had experience in
professional ranks interesting contests are
assured. The Commissioners will be hand
somey uniformed and intend to bring the
crack teams of other cities here for games,
using American League Park for the con-
tests.

Cleveland q Puzzle.

The Cleveland Blues have been picked by
many to finish up In front at the end of the
championship race, but there are numerous
show me" people who can not see the
great Lajoe, as a leader, with a spy glass.
No one questions the known fact that the
raw material is in the Cleveland aggrega-
ton, but there is also a lazy streak running
through several of the best men and it Is
bound to contamlnate the rest. A better
natured, jollier, more happy-gO-lucky aggre-
cation never walked on the ball field and it is
question right now If Lajoe cares row
of pins whether the Clevelands win the
championship or not. The big Frenchman
is constituted and can not help it. but
ball player he Is simply in class by
himself Every member of the Cleveland
club swears by the big fellow and have
promised to put forth their best efforts, and
If they do there will be something doing
in the American League next summer. La
Joie will certainly have the best wishes OF
the fans all over the circuit and VIC
tory for him would be most popular one.
With pitching staff second to none in the
country, sluggers and feders of known
ability to back them up, 1t would be an
easy thing for Collins, Griffith or a Nc
Graw to land the Clevelands In the front
position, but the chances are that the team
will be running around fourth place
throughout the season. Two important
additions to the Clevelands lift them out
Of the ordinary class and makes them fully
20 per cent stronger than last year. These
additions are Stovall, at first, and Vinson,
In the outfield Both have proved to be
batters of the highest class and that they
have company can be guaranteed from look
ing over the following list:
Bemis, Buelow and Clarke, catchers;
Joss, Moore Bernhard. Donohue, Rhoades,
Hess, Jackson and Smith. pitchers; Stovall,
first base; Lajoie, second base: Bradley.

Little Change in Athletics.

Connie Mack has little to offer In the way
of novelty in this seasons Athletics. The
team will probably march upon the field
with the same men in the positions they
occupied at the close of last season. This
teams strength lies entirely in working to-
gether, but its unity has been wonderful
run producer and the Athletics have always
been a team to be feared especially when
they looked the easiest. Harry Davis was
sadly missed last season and as he returns
in good shape this spring the Quakers are
strengthened to a noticeable degree. This
player has developed, not only into first
class baseman, but he is a great coacher
and Captain Lave Cross missed his assist
ance very much when it came to urging
the team to victory. Many writers place
the Athletics away down the championship
ladder as it is believed the veterans on the
team are about due to fall by the wayside,
but they have fooled the wise people so often
that they may once more go the distance
and land the Quakers in about fifth place.
Manager Mack will have under his direc-
ton this season the following men: Schreck.
Powers and Noonan, catchers; Bender. Hem
ley Plank. Waddell, Coakley, Fairbanks
and Barthold, pitchers; Davis, first base;
Murphy. second base; Lave Cross, third
base; Monte Cross, short stop; Hartsel,
Hoffman and Seybod, outfielders; Soffel,
Bruce Murray and O'Brien, substitutes

American Machines.

It may come as a shock to a good many
people to find that automobiles are not get
ting cheaper. The fact Is that the tendency In
the past season has been toward the mod
erately expensive rather than excessively
cheap machine. The poor mans ma
chine is not yet in sight. Prices still
range from around $1,000 upward. while
machines up to 5000 and $4,000 are not
uncommon. At the same time it Is a
satisfaction to know that the bulk of the
machines in use here are of American
manufacture and the imported machine is
regarded as more or less of an unneces-
Sarily expensive luxury.
This is for more than one reason. the
foreign dealers at first did not realize that
the American road with its deep ruts and
high central crown was going to be con-
slant source of annoyance and injury to
the low-swung foreign vehicle. The home
manufacturer had this constantly and pain
fully impressed on him and he was able
to turn out vehicle better suited to the
American road, and as usual he made 1t a
better vehicle or at least one better suited
to American requirements, and he had the
market except among the ultra rich before
the foreigner was able to successfully COM
pete in the field.
And here one may comment on the
prowess that is shown by the foreign ma
chimes and the foreign drivers in the annual
Gordon Bennett race and explain why the
American machine has held Its own in
America in spite of the poor showing that
it has made abroad. OF course one under
stands that the man who buys an automo-
bile for business or pleasure does not get
If to go a mile a minute in. The average
purchaser tells the dealer that he does
not care about being able to go more than
twenty miles an hour on the level, but he
does want to take a stiff upgrade on his
high speed without resorting to the low or
intermediate gear. Consequently he wants
increased power, and increased power for
hilI-climbing means potentially increased
speed on the level. So one finds nigh pow
cred and speedy machines in constant use
among people who never want to use the
excessive speed. The American machine
meets this demand and while 1t has not
yet taken any of the big international
nrizes abroad. 1t is the powerful. reliable
and at need speedy machine that the Aneri-
can public wants to buy.
