BANKERS SHOULD PLAY A

Local Outfit Should Show Improvement in

of Labor Day.

The BANKERS local amateur champions.

could not give as good an account oil

should show a whole lot of improve

of which they were capable. While they

best amateur club in this section of the
country. had they put up the game Oh

panv team had been through a series for
which it was keyed up and the listess
period had to follow. and consequently

About Finger Nails.
From the New York Evening Mail.

J w TE
There are probably more superstitions
concerning finger nails than about any
other portion OF the human anatomy. IL
brought together they would make one oil
the most interesting volumes in the whole
literature Of folklore.
One notion is that rapid growth OF the
finger nails indicates that their possessor
Is In vigorous health. This belief Is said
to have been approved by some ply
sicians.
more familiar superstition is that the
white spots in the finger nails indicate
the number OF lies one has told within a
month Another is that II young wom-
an cuts her finger nails on Saturday she
Will see her sweetheart on Sunday,
There is Friday superstition. OF
course 1t is that one who cuts his fin
ger nails on that day will suffer a great
misfortune.

If some of the local amateur authori-
ties should make good their intentions 10
build a modern plant to be used as an
anna eur ball park and to be turned over
to the local high schools during the WIN
ter sea son it is likely that the enterprise
would meet the approval of everybody
connected with the high school athietlcs
and would proba bly, receive quite a httie
financial help from that source. At prese
ent it is puzziing everybody connected
with the high school teams as to where
the games this fall and next spring will
be played. No field suitable for foot ball
has yet been obtained. although there has
been some announced intention OF playing
the games at Georgetown. Anyway. the
building Of a modern plant to foster anna
teur athletics would insure a great deal
of help and approval from many sources
and would prove one OF the biggest boons
possible to amateur athletics in this city.
FRANKIE Lawrence and Uhler constitute
mighty good outfield for the Maryland
Athletic Club. The men are all fast
feeders and good htters. Uhler is about
the best man OF the bunch. he being fast
on the bags. the fastest fielder on the
team and one of the best hitters. He is
not only a good hitter. but he is clean
up man. nearly all his drives going for
extra bases Lawrence, while not as good
a hitter as Uhler. is a fairly good man
at the bat, as is FRANKIE. FRANKIE and
Lawrence are both fast men, also
Boehling. who does the bulk OF the
pitching for the Richmond club. has an
underhand and overland delivery that he
works well together. With a fast break
ing underland curve and good drop ball
with an overland throw. he mixes the
two so that they form difficult combina-
tons for any batter to hit safely.
Roehlng has poor delivery, though.
When pitching he fails to get either his
body or a full arm motion in his throw.
using icrky motion which gets only the
strength of his arm below the elbow into
the throw.
II is probable that a special car will be
chartered to take the local club to Rich
mond. that being the intention of the
local amateur authorities at present.
One surprising feature Of the two games
Monday was the throwing Of West, the
Bankers backsfop. In almost every game
played by the Bankers this year Vests
arm looked weak. his throws to second
being poor, but against both the Rich
mond and Baltimore clubs his whip
seemed to come to life. and he threw
the ball down to the bases with more
speed and more accuracy than in any
other game this year.
