ON -FOUR CIRCUITS
Strengthened in Field and by
Backing of Their
Officials.

Four amateur leagues are resting Sc
cure today, considerably strer gthened
in the field and official backing, with
the knowledge that games will be con-
tinued under the old regime. Two were
in doubt yesterday, and it was under
stood that two others were being robbed
of proper support by internal dissen-
sion.
The newly organized Bankers and
Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. Leagues will play
today under a new schedule and a con-
siderably changed and strengthened
number Of clubs.
Among the Bankers teams. CONNER
cial National, American Security and
Trust, Second ashington, District Ma
tional, and the new team, the First Ma
tional, of Hyattsville, will comprise the
circuit. It is reported that all teams are
stronger than they were at the start of
the season. Washington Loan and Trust
has given way to the Hyattsville team.
and the contest should now have the
aspect of something like baseball games,
and not as heretofore, like runaways.
New Start at Ellipse.
Commercial National and the First Ma
tional, Of Hyattsvile, will start anew to-
day on the Ellipse. All the officials
have signihed their intention of being
on hand for the game, and fair-sized
crowd should be in attendance.
After drawing and backing for a Pc
riod of a week or more, the Railroad
Y. NJ. c. A. has come out of its lethargy
and bounced two teams, to continue as a
four-club league. Shops and the United
States Express team were thrown out,
their players being allowed to join the
others. The league will continue under
q new schedule. and games will be
played with regularity.
Last year the league was forced to
forfeit many games, and this year at
the outset the same evil made itself ap-
parent. Games have been forfeited and
postponed daily, and the officials at last
came to the conclusion that drastic
measures were warranted.
Interest of Officials.
That the two leagues have been saved
speaks well for the interest taken in
the game by the officials. Both leagues
draw different classes Of fans. and both
are distinctive and features of amateur
baseball in the city, and it is to the
credit Of the followers of the game
that both organizations will continue.
1t was rumored that President Graf,
of the Commercial League. would tender
his resignation, but he was prevailed
upon to stick by the guns. and there is
every indication that the league will
continue on its successful way. The
class of ball is good. and games have
been close and interesting

harmony was in order. when it was
expected that a blowout would occur.
Better results are promised in the fu-

Andrews VS.. Havenner, Georgia avenue and
kenyon street northwest.
In a game replete with miscues Moses
was defeated by. c. & P. yesterday, Il
to G. The only feature of the game
was the heavy batting Of the winners,
who hit safely ten times. Moses best
was four hits, one of them a three
bagger, by Doleman.
Barrett started the game for Moses
but was hit on the leg by a hot liner
from Jennison's bat and forced to re-
tire from the box. Chamberlain, who
replaced him pitched a creditable game,
and had he been accorded better sup
port the score would probably have
been much smaller.
Moses only runs came in the sixth
and seventh innings. when they came
near tying the score. The Telephone
boys got busy, however, in their half of
the seventh and put the game away by
scoring five runs.
Two hits an error and a base on balls
gave c. & P. their five runs in the
seventh inning.
There were two home runs made, both
by c. & P. men. That by Rawlings was
a clean one to center field, while that by
Dyer was a freak getting through the
right fielder's legs and being thrown
wild.
Both Rawlings and Dyer had a gala
day at the bat, the former connecting
for home run. a three base hit and a
single out of four times at bat, while
the latter got two tnree-baggers, was
hit once. and walked once, giving him
a batting average of 1000.
Despite the fact that Dyer is an in
fielder, he held Thompson up in fine
style. His pegging to bases was es-
pecially good.
The Telephone team was responsible
for tke most errors. but they were not
so noticeable as those of Moses. The
latter's were made when they counted
for runs.
Doleman was the only Moses man who
was able to hit Thompson for extra
bases.
1t was reported that Rusk, Of Moses,
who was hit in the head by a pitched
ball about a week ago, was forced to go
to the hospital for treatment. but
that he is now recovering. He has not
been in the Moses lineup since the ac-
