BY n. T. wORLEY.

One of the most pretenticus schedules ar
ranged by a local amateur team in years
was given out by manager II. S. Rec
side, of the American Security and Trust
Company nine yesterday
Fifteen games are carded with club,
school, and college teams, in and near
Washington, and the list includes all of
the local high schools, Georgetown Uni
versity, Georgetown reserves, Gallaudet
reserves, and Eastern College The first
game is March IS, with Business High
School, on the White Lot. Eight of the
games will be played on the home field
of the Bankers, the Ellipse, while two
are scheduled for Fifth and Florida
avenue northeast, one for Kendall Green,
two for Georgetown Field, and one for
Manassas, Va.
Efforts to arrange a game with Mount
st. Mary's, of Baltimore, was failure,
but on the other hand the Bankers
turned down a game with the Mount st.
Joseph's nine.
Negotiations are under way with the
Navy plebes for game, at Annapolis,
in July, and also with the Maryland
Agriculture College reserves. Coach
Sprigman intends to take his charges to
Baltimore to meet several institutions
and clubs there, but at present it is
not known which teams the Bankers
will be pitted against in the Oriole City.
Much interest is manifested in the
game with Georgetown University and
the Trust Company players will do their
level best to win from the collegians, or
at least, to keep the score down to the
smallest possible point.
At the present time the Senate base
ball team is the only nine ON the list.
Waiting for Good Weather.
Advantage will be taken OF the first
warm afternoon to get the boys out
on the White Lot and warm them up.
Indoor practice has been the rule every
day for the past two weeks, and the
players are anxiously looking forward to
the day when they can work in the
open.

John II. Anderson, secretary of the
Departmental League. is authority for the
statement that the Clerks will be in the
field again this year stronger than ever.
A meeting will be held the early part
of next week in the office of Mr.. Chance
and 1t is expected that the plans of the
league will then be definitely known.
Those directly behind the Departmental
organization are planning to make the
league more of a success this summer
than last year and the influx of new
blood on the new teams will be a big
help in reviving the interest in the de-
partments.
At last nights meeting of the Capt.
tai City League, Maurice O'Connor, act
ing as a committee of one for the
Aloysius Club, took up the question OF
grounds with the Capital City League.
AS neither Mr.. O'Connor nor the Capt.
tai City leaguers would make any
proposition in regard to the price for
the use of Capital City Park during
the summer months, nothing was done
and the meeting was adjourned until
tonight when the league will meet
again at the home of Maurice O'Con-
nor, 514 Second street northwest, and
the Capital City League will present
its proposition for the use of the field.
From present indications it is very un-
likely that any agreement will be
reached to-day. The breach between
the league and the college authorities
has rapidly grown until IL is almost
out of the question to reach any agree
ment. The fence is the property of
the Capital City League, while the
lease on the ground belongs to the
Gonzaga College authorities. Now. it
is understood, the Capital City League
will refuse to pay anything for the use
of the field as long as they own the
fence around the park. which cost in
the neighborhood of $500. For Con
zaga to build another fence would
hardly be worth while when the league
could sell them the one now standing
and move to another location. On the
other hand, the Aloyslus Club, which
has obtained the open dates which the
league desires to use, believes that
the Capital City League should share
the expense of running the field, and
pay part of the lease money. With the
situation standing in this way, what
will occur at to-night's gathering of
the Capital City League managers is i
mere conjecture.
