By c. W. SWAN.

The Capital City League will soon be
a six-club circuit If the efforts that are
now being made by the league officials
do not miscarry. The Seaman Gunners
have long yearned for chance to tackle
the big teams of the District and DOW
that chance may be given them, as the
Marines are scheduled to return to WASH
ington the 18th of the month, and as they
held a franchise before they left the
District, IT Is more than likely that they
will endeavor to get the franchise back.
1t was learned from a prominent Off
cial of the league last night that the plan
of allowing the Seaman GunneEs and the
Marines 10 enter had been thought of,
and it is more than likely that something
definite win be done at the meeting called
for Sunday morning.
Should the Marines and the Seaman
Gunners enter the Capital City League,
that circuit will undoubtedly be the fast
est six-clUb organization in the District.
as it is the strongest four-club league
at present, and the teams that will be
admitted have proved their superiority to
the majority of the other mines around
town. p

ton of Manager Wilkinson, of the St |

Amateur Editor The Washington Herald:
Just little explanation regarding the Wilkinson |
disturbance.
In the frst place if the manager Of 81. Martins
team going to listen to everything that is told him
/ am afraid his accusations are going TO be very
hard to prove.
To date have not received my release from the |
ST. Martins team, and under the rules Of the anna
teJr commission still q member of said team |
When / asked Mr., Wilkinson for my release was /
at that time a member Of the New Willard team as |
/ had obtained my release from the Hamline team |
in the morning and Immediately signed with the |
New Willard; 80, under the circumstances can see
no way possible for Mr. Wilkinson to connect the 1
Willard team my for not playing with his
team.
write this in justice to the manager Of the WI
lard team, who has under the circumstances /
think, been done great injustice.
