Big Shake-up Due
MAn1ateur League
New Teams VIII Enter Young Circuit-Parkpiep
Withdraws from Suburban Organiza-
tion-ReLeaSeS and Additions
By c, w. SWAN.

There is a biE.shake-up coming in two
amateur leagues, and they Will have an
important bearing on the results in both
circuits. Two teams will be replaced by
two faster aggregations,s and then the
post-season series will look mere like a
real race than joke.
The writer knows positively that new
team will be admitted in a new league,
and that another nine is thinking seri-
ously of entering that same circuit. A
few days will bring the entire story to
light.
Parkview that is, the team that has
been playing under the name of Park
view, will not be seen in the Suburban
League again this season. new team,
which will use the old name, should IT
make up its mind to enter the circuit
may receive the franchise of the Park
view aggregation at once, but that has
not been decided upon. The new team
will be under the managership Of Joe
Mazur.
Should this new outfit fail to pass mus
ter, a series between Silver Spring and
Petworth will most likely be played, as
these teams are the best in the circuit.
Parkview played great ball at the be-
ginning of the season, but that old time
slump came. and it put an end to the
Parkview tribe.
Manager Love, of the Ninth team of
the Sunday School League, stated to
the writer last night: Ninth will not
play in the Sunday School League as
long as Shorty Hughes handles the
indicator" The Ingram team will not
{ play, and North Carolina and Anacostia
are doubtful without Ninth and In
gram the league would be a joke, as
Hamline would have a walkaway, and
that is just what the fans of the league
do not want to see. AS it would stand
with a new umpire, four teams, name
ly, Ninth, Ingram, Sherwood, and Ham
line, would all have a chance at the
flag. The only way that Ninth will
stay in the league is for the league to
get rid of shorty" Hughes.
Elmer Smith, the crack twirler Of the
Ingram team of the Sunday School
League, sure did save the game for Com
merce and Labor yesterday in the De-
tpartmental League. After the Mailmen
had pounded big Whitney for thirteen
hits and nine runs, "Smithy'' was sent
in the box and did great work. With two
on the sacks and none out, the youngster
was very lucky to get by with only one
score being made on him.
Had Smith started the game the Mall
men would have been lucky to get a
score, as the Kid Ingram youngster was
in that old-time form that made him the
wonder of the year in the amateur ranks.
