Interesting from the start. st. Martin, St.

The st. Patrick. Immaculate Conception
and Trinity clubs were evenly balanced
until late in the season. when the Trinity
nine took slump and fell behind. finishing
last.

be a guess as to who will pull out ahead
when the season closes.
The age limit has been removed and the

immense crowd.
st. Martin Strong.
The st. Martin club, last years cham
pions, will again be under the direction Of
the Rev. E. Hannah. whose ability as a
manager Is beyond question. The pitching
staff of the North Capitol street club will
be the same as last year, Lee Hillary and

ago. and Harry Zannelli shortstop for st.
Patrick last year, have been added. Hur-
ley and Edelin,. now playing with the Rock
Hill College team, will play with ST. Mar
tin when their college season comes to a
close.
With this lineup there Is no doubt that
ST. Martin will be hard to beat, and the
five other teams with epennant- winning as
pirations will have to hustle to get the
flag.
st. Vincent Unchanged
With popular Joe Turner at the helm
this year the ST. Vincent club will enter
the field with practically the same lineup
as last year. Lefty Wooden, the we'll
known slab artist of the Turnerites, who
was their mainstay in the box last season,
will be again seen in the middle of the
diamond and will try to fool the batters
with his assortment of curves and shoots.
Last year Wooden held the shutout record
of the league and made three shutouts of
the four made during the season Moffit,
Ryan, Mack, Coleman. Spaulding, Lewis
and Meister played last year and to this
list has been added Carrick, late of the
Immaculate Conception team, who was last
year the heaviest hitter in the league.
Mullen, another good one. will also play
with the northeast club. He is we'll known
in Washington as an exceptional player.
St. Patrick's Good Prospects.
ST. Patrick will have a new manager this
season, Frank Callen. Mr.. Callen besides
being good ball player is able mana
ger and a general favorite among the play
ers. With some one to manage the team
on the field the st. Patrick club will prob
ably play 90 per cent better ball Fuse,
Marceron Mcdonald. Regain, Shaffiot Cas-
sasa and Lombardy will be with the team
again this season. while the club will be
strengthened by the addition of Bonayres,
formerly with st. Martin, and Mclaughlin
