INDOOR BASEBALL
TO FLOURISH HERE
League Will Be Organized
Wednesday Night.

That Washington is to have an indoor
baseball league this season Is almost an
established fact. The managers Of teams
that are promoting the indoor game will
meet Wednesday night in the board
room Of the Y. NJ. C. A, at o'clock.
TO arrange plans and outline a campaign
for the coming season.
1t is understood that the r. r. Y. NJ.
{. A will put a team in the league, and
should that be the case, the league will
have a good place to play. as the railroad
gymnasium is large, and the accommo-
dations are of the best. President Bond,
CT the baseball league, will more than
likely head the railroad indoor team.
There are leagues in Baltimore and
Richmond, and at the conclusion Of the
regular season, a series could be played
whit the pennant winner In the two
cities thus making a tri-city series. the
same as in outdoor baseball. This would
add a great deal of interest to the game.
Prof. Beckett, Of the Y. NJ. c. A, is a
prime mover in the organization, and II
is due to him and Mr.. Thacher that the
league will be organized. There are at
least five clubs in the District that are
ready to place team on the floor, and
the only thing lacking is an available
place to play.

The home stretch has been reached in
The Washinfton Heralds' World Series
Contest. All candidates are straining
every nerve to pile up a big total for
the final count. Votes are being Sc
cured from every possible source.
Yesterday was a big day with the
Contest Editor. Votes of all kinds were
thrown upon him by the thousands. A
continuous stream of sale slips. laundry
lists, cigar bands, bottle crowns. chew
ing gum wrappers. cigarette box-fronts,
coupons, and subscriptions were received
all day.
Several big changes were made in the
standing of the contestants. "Old War
Horse Frank McLearen polled over 155,
600 votes and jumped from seventh to
third place. F. J. McLane deposited
nearly 10000 votes and moved up to
eighth position, and l. S. Pennypacker
with almost IS, 900 votes went into ninth
place. Several of the contestants who
have been temporarily displaced are sure
to be heard from before the close. That
some OF the dark horses will finish with
surprisingly large totals is almost a GER
tainty. No candidate. no matter how
large his present vote. has a right to
feel that he has one OF the trips cinched.
No one can safely predict the winners.
Many of the contestants are striving
for the made-to-Order suit to be awarded
the candidate securing the greatest num-
Der OF votes for paid-in-advance sub
scriptions. Two hundred votes are given
for each month paid in advance on daily
and Sunday subscriptions. and 100 votes
for each month paid in advance on daily
or Sunday only subscription. There is
still time to secure many votes from
this source.
The standing up to 3 p. m. yesterday,
compared with the previous vote count,
appears below:

yesterday was bet by two brokers, one
taking the Giants and the other the
Athletics. The bet was made at even
money, but later was called OF to be
resumed at the prevailing odds on the
first game of the series.
There are many freak bets, one $500 to
$50 that the Giants will not win three
straight, another $50 to $500 that Ma
thewson will be knocked out Of the box
after the first game, and a third that
Bender will not allow the Giants more
than three hits. There have been many
small bets registered that the Athletics
will steal more bases than the Giants.
II Mathewson pitches the first game
for the Giants. Philadelphia fans figure
New York as about to 5 bet on the
single game.
It's a case of nothing TO do until next
year for. the Nationals"
Who will be the hero of the coming
blue ribbon series between the Athletics
and Giants? ..
What obscure athlete Will be inmor-
talized in the jousts that will be held
in the near future?
Fans are wondering, ror ever since the
big post-season bouts were first started
they have been productive of startling
results. Fans have seen established stars
obscured by the shadow OF some ''un-
known too frequently to place too much
reliance on any of the present heroes OF
either the Athletics or Giants.
Mathewson and Marquard may fail for
New York and iCrandall NAV be the
pitching wonder. Collins ,may blow up,
while McInnis may drive fl the runs that
will win for the Mackmen. It's largely
a game OF chance.
But no matter who he may be. unless
II be Mathewson again. he can probably
thank his manager In large part for the
fact that he ever became baseball
player good enough to get into champion
ship class. There are perhaps no two
teams In the country more completely
made up OF men whom their managers
have developed into finished ball players
than the champs and the Giants.
