by the I.ynchburg scribes regarding the
playing OF the Washington lad are to the
effect that there is no better in the cir
cult. and the stunts which he Is accus-
toned to pull off almost every day Dor
Ger on the sensational
There are many who believe that Fan
nelli Is an amateur Just making good in
professional ranks, but such is not the
case, as he has play in the salaried
ranks several times. Zannelli has played
down in several of the leagues in the
south. and has made good. doing even bet
ter work al times than he is doing now
When the Union League was in existence
Zanneili performed at short in. good style
for the Washington club, being well Up
among the infielders in the circuit in both
hitting and fielding.
There is not particle OF doubt tina t
the amateur leagues of Washington some
rule or regulation allowing a man to
play with but one team in one league Will
be passed. Much has been said regarding
the necessity or some such ruling, and
that 1t VIII be passed is almost a surety.
The need of just that is felt in almost
every one of the circuits and by almost
every team which has had men on whom
ii depended 70 stay up in the race drawn
away from il to another club in another
league for one reason or another.
If a man wants to play amateur ball
there Is no reason why he should desire
to play with more than one club. He is
generally afforded at least two games
per week by affiliating himself with but
one organizatio besides The Independent
games which almost every one of the
teams play. and that ought to be enough
for any player who is in the thing for
the enjoyment he gets out Of it.
At present ii is the hardest kind OF a
matter for manager OF one Of the anna
teur teams ;o hold his men together dur
ing the entire season. No team which is
continually being broken up can play
good ball. and there is little chance OF a
club landing at the top when such con-
dtions are prevalent In regard to its
roster of players. Instances might be
mentioned of teams which would be much
higher in the race now than they are IL
saich had not been the case. 1t Is hard
enough for a manager to attend to the
o binary wants of his team withou, hav-
ing himself worried sick for fear that one
of his best men may go off and play with
another league on the afternoon when his
team is scheduled to play.
The Walford club has been asked to
enter the Capital City League. not by
the leagues officials. but by zone of the
clubs in that circuit which desires to dis
pose of its franchise. The Eastern Ath-
letIc Club is DESTROYS of getting rid of
its rights in the mentioned circuit, and
its franchise has been offered the Wal
ford manager with the statement that
whether the offer was accepted or not
the Eastern Athletic club would not fin
ish the season with the organization.

American Security VS.. Commercial

Second Washington, ..
The District National was presented
with game in the Bankers circuit yes
terday by the Second National Bank OF
Washington. The rumor that was going
the rounds last week that the Second
Washington team would not finish the
season seems to be true. Not man

When seen, Manager Echolf of the
Second W arlington nine said that the va
cations of the different men in his bank
had completely broken up his team. Sew
eral of the men are away on their vaca-
tons now and the men who are left are
unable TO get out because their work
is doubled on account Of the other fell
lows being away:

,erday by virtue of Second Washington s
gift and Is now only half game behind
First There is certainly a pretty race
for second honors 1t being conceded that
the American Security and Trust Com
pany has the best chance of finishing
first.
Whether the American Security and
Trust Company will walk away with the
pennant this season or not Will be seen
tomorrow, when the leaders meet the
Commercial National team. This team de-
feated the Security boys in their last en-
gagement. and will leave nothing undone
to show the fans that this was not luck
by turning the trick once again.
Should the Commercial National boys
defeat the American Security team the
race will tighten UP very much. The
commercial and Security teams have two
games even after tomorrows contest. so

AN OBJECT LESSON.

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
In this time of demand for COM
pulsory Sunday observance, an object
lesson may be found I'm the fact that
there are in this country more than
ono hundred thousand Christians who
observe the seventh-day Sabbath, ana
their number is constantly increasing.
They are scattered throughout every
state in the Union, and live in the
cities in the towns and in the coun-
try districts. The day which they
observe as the Sabbath has become
the busiest day Of the week in the
commercial world, and they are sur
rounded by those who are pursuing
their ordinary work on that day.
When they go to their places of wor-
ship their eyes necessarily behold
what they regard as a desecration ot
a holy day. and their ears are saluted
with the hum of secular industry.
They would be glad TO have all OBJ
serve the Sabbath, according to the
commandment" and mus honor the
Creator. but they never have asked,
and never will ask, for legislative
enactments which would compel those
to pay an outward regard to this day
They must be fully convinced by their
own consciences that they ought 70
keep IL holy. They simply ask to be
left free to observe the day of their
choice without being fined either di-
rectly or indirectly. being
compelled to pay a fine in money into
the State Treasury or to pay a fine in
the way of loss OF time by enforced
fdleness upon a day which the Scrip
lures designate as a working day.
and they freely concede to others the
civil right TO work on the seventh
day of the week ana to rest on an
other day If they choose to do so, or
TO refuse to observe any day as the
Sabbath.
Now if such a body OF Christian
observers of the seventh day Of the
week can be developed in this coun-
try by the power Of conscientious
conviction alone. IN the face OF all
those circumstances which the advo-
Gates Of Sunday observance regard as
SO fatal to their cause, is It not sp-
parent that no Christian institution
needs the support Of the civil mower
We commend this object lesson 20
the consideration OF those who are
claiming that what they designate as
"the Christian Sabbath" Will perish
from the earth unless they can secure
the passage of laws to protect and
preserve il. Yours truly,
W. w. Prescott.
