the cards.
Charges and oountercharges viii be

meeting of the governing body of the

Manager Wilkinson, the accusor Of the
day, will bring proofs, it is said, to sub
stantiate his charges, while the accused
men will prove him wrong.
"Dutch'' Stuckert will be there in all
his glory, and If the word Of the Hans
Wagner" is good, there will be some
fun at the meeting. Stuckert says that
he has never worked for the Willard
Hotel, nor does he ever intend to, as
he is now one of the leading lights of
the New York real estate brokers. As
for Laying down." as the charges read,
Dutch says that he did not want to
play with the ST. Martins team, and
that was all there was to it.
Manager Black, of the Havenner team
of the Commercial League, is accused
of Offering Cassidy 81 to play with the
Bakers, and Cassidy asked for his re-
lease from the st. Martins team. Black
is loud in his denial of the charge, ard
promises to be on hand tonight to up
hold his claim.
Everybody connected with the case in
any way whatever has been summoned
by the committee, and the entire case
will be thrashed out tonight.
To use the words of prominent MEM
Der of the amateur commission, there is
nothing to the charges. They will never
prove them, as nobody VIII squeal"
At a meeting Of the Capital City
League yesterday morning new sched-
ule with the Marines and the seamen
Gunners holding dates was made out
and appears in another column of this
paper.
There are still two teams in the anna
teur leagues with a clean sheet The
Commerce and Labor team, Of the De-
partmental League, and the Car De-
partment outfit, Of the R. R. Y. NJ. c. A.
League. Both teams have been putting
N a great article of ball in their re-
spective circuits and are holding their
fast pace at all stages.
Powell, the former Business High
School twirler, has at last come into
his own. The fast boy has been troubled
with a sore arm the major portion of
the season and now that he is going
good the Bureau team will make bet
ter showing. y,
Rumor has it that Chief Greene, the
Catholic University star slab artist, is
now playing professional ball up in
Pennsylvania State. Murphy and Hunt,
Of the Georgetown team, are out in the
Three-I League, it is understood.
The work of Harry Zannelli, with the
Lynchburg Virginia League) team, has
been a revelation to the Southern fans |
Fielding like a house afire, the former /
Washington amateur is hitting the ball I
with the best and bids fair to best out |
Mick Keliher for the league batting |
honors.
Hope FaIconer, the former Tech High |
of the Ninth Street Christians of the
Sunday School League.
Another high school star who will be
seen in a Ninth uniform this season is
big" Whitney, of Eastern fame. Whit
ney has been attending college at Penn
State and made good on the ball team.
The addition of this box artist will |
greatly strengthen the Christians, as 1t
is rumored that Lefty Wooden will
soon leave the Ninth team.
The addition of the Seamen Gunners and
the Marines will put the Capital City |
League on an equal basis with the other |
amateur leagues in the District. While |
the circuit put up a good article Of ball |
as a four-club league, the addition of the |
two service teams will add a lot Of in |
terest to the race and incidentally give |
the other mines a longer lay-off.
The American Security and Trust Com
pany team, of the Bankers League, is
once more making runaway Of the race
in that circuit. There is no team in the
league that can put up anywhere near
the classy article of ball that Is played
by the Fifteenth street team.
That Kendall team Of the Independ-
ence League is going after the pennant /
strong, and It will take some tall ball |
playing on the part of the other clubs
to stop them. The youngsters are always
ready ito take chance, and with the /
able coaching Of Mr.. Sterns, they should /
prove a hot contender for the bunting.
