BANK LEAGUE LOOKS GOOD
Officials Preparing for Active Base

VIII Join Amateur CommissiOn-Of'
ficers Recently Eiected-League
Now in It's Second Year.

A large number OF the local banks, in
addition TO those who had teams last
year. are expected to organize baseball
teams and join the Bankers Baseball
League this spring. Indications point to
a most successful season for the league.
The same grounds as those used last
year will probably be used TO pull of
the games. down on the Monument Lot,
and. with a little attention. they should
prove an ideal place 10 play. II is the
intention OF the league officials to length
en- the series of games considerably this
year. each team in the league being
scheduled TO play each other team twice.
Among the improvements contemplated
is the appointment OF an official scorer for
the season, and an umpire. The officials
have ratified and adopted the oonstitu-
ton submitted by the amateur baseball
commission of the District, and the games
will be played under its auspices.
J. Miller Kenyon. director of the Dis
trict National Bank, and a director of the
Washington baseball club. has been elect
ed president of the league; I. B. Greene,
of the American Security and Trust Com
pany, has been elected secretary, and
John Poole OF the Commercial National
Bank, is treasurer, A committee has been
appointed to draft a constitution for the
league this season, and another TO draw
up d schedule.
The Bankers League made its appear
ance last year for the first time, and
made a wonderfully good showing in
amateur circles. This year, with a fuller
schedule. more teams. and a more com
plete organization. the outlook is even
better. and the work of its teams will be
well worth watching.
The season will open with a double
header at American League Park. May I.
