full season Are the Brightest Ever.
Championship Games to Be Played
During Latter Part of August.


end on Saturday. August IA. in order
that the games for the District champion
ship can be played while the Nationals
are away from home.
The prospects for a successful year are
the brightest the league has ever enter
tanned. and with the addition Of the Ma
rines and Brookland clubs. the organiza-
ton will undoubtedly have six Of the
strongest baseball clubs in the city. and
the fight for the flag in this league bids
fair TO be keenly contested.
Marines Replace AtInnticS-
The Marines. winners OF the Marquette
League pennant last season. will take the
place oe the Atlantics. and, judging from
the array OF ball players that Manager
IT, Y. Shurtleff has gathered together.
VIII be strong cOntenders for the flag
The BroOkland team. under the man
agement Of Wells Harreu. which has
always played excellent ball as an in
dependent team. viii senter the league
taking the place Of the BloomingdaIe
Athletic Club. and considering that
they have the same team that repre-
sented BroOkland for the past few
years and which made such an excel
among the leaders Of this league.
Maurice O'Connor and his team
which won the District championship.
viii again be an applicant for the hon
Ors Of first place and il can be safely
predicted that the Columbia Athletic
Club, under the guidance Of Manager
O'Connor. viii always be a contender
for the flag. He viii start the season
with practically the same team as won
the championship last year
Brentwood. which made a creditable
showing last year. viii again be under
the management OF George z. Cornell,
and the manager OF the ex-suburban
champions has gathered together pos
Sibly one Of the best amateur teams in
the city and expects 10 win the flag.
6. =. o. Has a LoOk-In..
The Government Printing Office is
again TO be managed by George Forden.
and II this team plays the same quality
Of ball shown toward the end OF last
season Il will be a hard proposition for
any OF the other aspirants for the flag
The g, p. O had bad start last year
but toward the middle Of the season was
playing a game equal to that Of the
leaders. Manager Forden has about the
same team which finished the season
with him. and II bis team gets started
early in the season il viii surely finish
in the first division.
81. Stephens Institute which has been
with the league since It was first organ
lied. and which won the championship
for the first two years Of its existence,
viii make an effort TO again land the
rag, and considering that this team will
be materially strengthened by the addi-
tion Of some of the ball players who
helped II 10 win the championship Z: will
be a strong contender for first honOrs.
Joe Moriarity and Willie HandibOe will
guide ST. Stephens team. and As they
know the game they win be able 10 get
as much out of team as any other man
ayers in the league.
The league has been holding meetings
regularly for the last two months. and
each manager is working with energy
toward making this season successful
from every standpoint
