Washington bank clerks are wearing
new hats to-day. and all because of the
drabbing they handed their fellow.bank-
ers in Baltimore Saturday. From ali ae-

The Atlantic City colIegians are going
into Philadelphia and signing many OF
the sand-lot stars there. Washington has
some good sand-lotters who ought TO be
able to make good on the Atlantic City
nine. The writer has seen the Coilegians
play this year. and is of the opinion that
many of the locAl boys could make good.
Phil King, coach of the Georgetown
University baseball team this spring, was
not favorabiy impressed with the showing
Of the coIlegians when the Chamber Of
Commerce played them recently. Ambi-
tious youngsters might spend their vaca-
ton at Atlantic City and practice with
the Collegians. At least there's a chance
to make good and scrape up a little
spending money and have a bully" time
at the seashore.

bottom OF the heap and will not be able
to place fairly representative nine ia
the field, This only goes to show the
conditions that exist In amateur baseball
here at present. There is hardly a man
OF any ability playing ball here to-day
who has not received compensation in
some shape or form for his services.
Whether paid so much per game, so
much per week, or whether ne shared in
a general whaek-up OF the proceeds from
some game at the park. there are few
who have not gripped the coin The
managers are out TO win in their re-
spective leagues. and when it means but
few dollars TO secure the services of a
star pitcher or catcher there is hardly
one who will not pay the price and land
the player for the game or games that
will decide the race such is the rivalry.
and such Is human nature It is impos-

Manager Reside. Of the American Sc
curity and Trust team, has decided TO
carry his case to the amateur ccmmis-
sion for a ruling. Mr.. Reside thinks
that the board Of managers OF the Bank
ers' League has not acted right in
throwing out the games which the Fiji
teenth street bankers won from the Com
mereial National and Washington Loan
and Trust teams about a month ago.
The games were played just after the
Riggs boys had sent in their resignation,
and after American Security and Trust
won the games In question the board of
managers ruled against accepting the
resignation OF the Riggs team until the
team had paid It's back dues. AS Man
ager Reside had played several Riggs
men after that team had signifed its
intention of quitting the league, the
board ruled that the games must be
played over. as Riggs was technically
still a member Of the association. al
though its resignation was in the hands
Of the secretary.
The schedule of games in the Bankers
League has expired and the American
Security and Trust boys are on top. Be
fore the American Security OUTFIT will
play another game Mr.. Reside will take
the case 10 the amateur commission for
a ruling. as he thinks that his boys are
being imposed upon because Of mere
technicality.
