SUNDAY SCHOOL BOYS
READY FOR BUSINESS
Officers Elected, New Teams
Selected and Sched-
uIe Adopted.

It will be but about three weeks before
the six teams of the Sunday School
League will start the sphere rolling for
the season of 1910. The league officials
predict the coming campaign to be the
most successful since the league was or
ganized. The officials this spring seem very
anxious for the opening date to roll
around. and they wish to announce
through the press that some big stuff"
will be pulled Off on the home grounds
and that the fans will be rewarded by
some high-class amateur ball tossing.
Mr.. Herman A. Meyers OF the Peck
Memorial team Of Georgetown succeeds
Cary B. Stokes as president. This change
took place al recent meeting of the
league and other officers were also elect
ed. Mr. Meyers. who managed the
Georgetown aggregation last season, is
q brainy base ball man and better Sc
lection for president could not have been
made. He had some good material on
his list last season and at times raised
much dust and plenty of enthusiasm for
the spectators Mr.. Meyers is III hopes
of building the Sunday School League
into one of the Districts fastest organl-
cations, and with such man at its mead
the league is sure to be a swift and en-

rotary.
1t was recently stated through these
columns that there would be two vacan-
cies for teams this year. caused by the
withdrawal of the Bethany Baptist team
champions of last season, and the ST
Paul Methodist squad. At the league s
recent meeting teams from the Anacostla
Baptist Church and the Sixth Presby-
80
ganization still remains a six-team one
and is composed of the following: Ninth
Street Christian Church, Hamline Metho-
dist Peck Memorial, LanGdon Episcopal,
Sixth Presbyterian and AnacoStla Bdp-
fist.
The fans can easily recall the exhibit
ton of ball given by the Langdon squad
last season, and they are all pulling hard
for a stronger team from that burg for
the present campaign. Manager Love of
the suburbanites has an entirely new
team to represent his church for the 1910
season, and he seems pleased with the
string Of ball tossers which he has sign
ed. and predicts good showing from
them.
The grounds at 18th and D streets
northeast will again this season be the
home of the league The groundkeeper
has begun his duties and 1t will not be
long before the lot will be in playing
condition. It is known that the grounds
of this league are among the fastest in the
city, and there is no reason why 1t
shouldn't be the home of fast teams.

of the league, and ]. II. Bangs composed
