arrangements for the coming season.
For the past two seasons the Depart
mental League has been composed of
eight teams. representing the Department
of Agriculture. Department of Commerce
and Labor. Navy Department. Post Or
flee Department. Treasury Department.
War Department. Interior Department
and the District Commissioners, but at
the meeting last night it was decided to
reduce the league to six teams by drop
ping the War and Treasury clubs. The
War Department has not been represent
ed at any of the meetings this year and
it was therefore assumed by the directors
that the "Warriors'' had decided not to
put a team i'm the field hence their
action in dropping them from the league.
The Treasury team drops out for want
of manager. Mr.. r. G. Robinson. who
has piloted the MONEY Counters for
several years, finds that his official du-
ties are such that they will not permit
OF his taking an active interest in base
ball affairs. and, being unable to discover
any one willing to take upon his Shout
ders the arduous duties of manager, feels
constrained to withdraw the team from
the league. The Money Counters have
carried off two remnants in this. organ
ization. and have always been in the
race from the drop of the flag, and the
news of their withdrawal will he re-
ceived with deep regret by a host of De-
partmental League fans.
The secretary has been instructed to
draw up q. schedule calling for fifty-four
games. which means that each team will
play series of three games with the
other clubs in the league.
