DEPARTMENT LEAGUE
BASE BALL DATES
Aggies and Warriors Open the
Season May 4.

The officials of the Departmental Base
Ball League have announced the schedule
for the coming season. which brings the
Agriculture and War Department teams
together in the opening contest Monday.
May 4. There are eighty-four games on
the list. Thirty-two will be played on
the west diamond of the White Lot on
double header days.
The schedule is SO arranged as to get
eight regular games a week. one each
Monday and Friday and double headers
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays,
leaving Saturdays for all drawn or post
poned games.
Players Harveycutter and Tracy of the
Department of Justice were given permis-
sion to play with the Interstate Com
merce.
Following the lead set by the other as
sociations of this city, the league has
adopted stringent law in regard to the
eligibility OF its players. No player can
be transferred from one office to another
this being done to prevent the players
from see-sawing from one place TO an
other as in past years. The chief clerks
Of the several departments must certify
to all players before they will be allowed
to figure in a championship game.
Billy Belts, the popular arbiter. Will
handle the indicator in the league again
this season. The asSocia ton has not yet
secured the other official. but it is more
than likely that Secretary Anderson Will
award the position to shorty Hughes,
the well-known local ball player
