turned in to Secretary Anderson, and a
glance over them will show that the
cream of the local talent is in the Clerks
circuit.
Merrill Vaughn. Jimmy Kerr, Walter
Ferguson. Johnny Herring, and Norman
Kraft, are only few of the stars lined
up by the Post Office manager
Manager Stratton, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission team, has like
ly looking bunch of ball tossers who are
bound TO cause a lot of trouble for the
rest of the teams
A. Mcdonald, Johnny Salb, Sam Ed
monston, w. Handiboe, 'Smoke" Balzer,
and "Blackie" Burke are just few of
the many cracks that will be seen In an
Interstate uniform on the White Lot.
While the Navy team has few stars of
the first water, the Sailors have a we'll
balanced team. and with an even break
of luck should make a good showing.
Yohe Brewer, Rountree, ana Watson
are all well known in amateur circles.
and a fast team should be built around
these men.
Commerce and Labor will have one of
the best teams in the District if they play
the men who are onsthe list turned in
the Elizabeth City nine in the Tidewater
League: Pat Diver. of the Petersburg
Club in the Virginia League: Monk
Walters, of Church League fame; Clyde
Richmond and Mcdonald are some of

Aggies' coach; Hover, of the Kendall
Green nine, and TrOwbridge are some. OF
the ball tossers who will take care of
Interiors chances on the White Lot this
Season.
Phil Buscher is on the Agricultural
lineup. but it is doubtful if the big
twirIer returns to Washington, as he is
doing good work in the professional
ranks Riddle. of American Security and
Trust: Donnelly, of Georgetown. and lie
DUO are among the candidates for the
Aggies' team.
The Departmental League is due for
one of the most successful seasons in the
history of the league. With the classy
array of talent that the different mana
gers have signed and the perfect playing
