Savannah Is After
Jimmie D0nneuy
Refuses Contract at Present, but May Sign Next
Season-KendaHs to Professionalism
Commission Meets Tonight.
By c. w. SWAN,

Of 1909, and who is at present playing
fast game for the Manhattans in the In
dependence League and the Agriculture
aggregation in the Departmental League,
is the latest of our amateurs to be ten
dered q contract from a minor league
club.
The Savannah team Of the South At
lantic League Is the club that wants Jim
my, and while he would not sign the con-
tract at present, it is more than likely
that he will enter the professional ranks
next spring.
Jimmy is one of the best all-round play
ers in the District being a second base
man of experience and fielder of class.
He Is also something of a sticker.
Last spring Jimmy put up a stellar
game for the Georgetown University
team, and did much to put the Hilltoppers
so high on the intercollegiate diamond.
Should Jimmy take this step, he will
have the we'll wishes of many followers
OF amateur ball, and his pals Of the crack
Manhattan team will root for him to the
last.
It was learned last night that the Ken
DALI team would protest the game 1t lost
to the Manhaitans yesterday. Just what
the grounds are could not be learned. but
It Is safe to say that they will be the al
lowing of a home run when the ground
rules called for a two-base hit. This pro-
test will have to be filed with the league
before 1t reaches the amateur commits
SIGN.
At the meeting Of the Sunday School
League last night the games for the re-
mainder CT the week were adopted as fol-
lows: To-day, North Carolina VS.. Ham,
line: Friday, Hamline VS.. Sherwood; Sat
urday, if Hamline loses a game, North
Carolina VS.. Sherwood.
Tomorrow the Silver Spring Nationals
and the Braddocks will clash in the
Olympia League. Saturday the South
lands will play Braddock. Should Silver
Spring defeat Braddock and Braddock
defeat Southland a tie for the pennant
will RESULT. Then a three-game series
will be played, beginning Saturday.
White Haven and Immaunel were drop
ped from the league, as they each had
forfeited three games. Secretary Schweg-
Ter presided at last nights meeting.
1t is doubtful If any player in the
Commercial League has shown the vast
amount of improvement in his work
that young Earl Mcintosh. Of the
lSol4l, I4oSs CAIIIo OS4ll5 ICiSdoSu bS
the now champion Andrews team, this
youngster has been playing cracker
Jack ball. fielding in great style, and
hitting like a house af1re. 1t was
only a few days ago that Mcintosh
broke up the game against the Tele-
phone team by his hard hitting, get
ting home run with three men on
bases, and a double with two on the
sacks. Part of the year the youngster
has been with the Emmanuel Baptist
nine, of the Olympia League, playing
a great game, both with the stick and
in the field. Mcintosh is q Technical
High boy, and with the experience he
has gained this year, should make a
valuable man for the Blacksmiths.
Tonight the amateur commission
will hold one of the most important
meetings of the year. Tho drawings
for the post-season series will be held
the schedules announced. and other
matters pertaining to the series will
be discussed. President Young earn
estly requests that the manager of
