boboed up and suggests a match between

Delaney IL moved TO this suggestion by
reports that an attempt is being made
To re-match the boilerinaker with John

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
|. PLAYERS ORDERED

Teams Must Report Names
Before That Date, Is
League Ruling.

Each team of the Southern Railway
League must submit a list of it's play
ers to the secretary of the organiZa-
tion on or before April 15. Additions
to this list can be made only with
the consent of the executive board.
This was decided at a meeting of
the league last night in the Offices of
the Southern railway. Eligibility
rules will not be so stringent as in
other leagues. but will be sufficiently
strict to AFFORD adequate protection to
the five teams in the circuit. Each
team has been given certain num-
ber of offices in the building from
which players may be drawn.
A schedule of games was adopted
and it fell to the lot of the Audit and
Law teams to open the league season
on May 1. The season closes July rs.
Games will start each afternoon at
$50. on the east diamond of the
Ellipse. ...'
]. NJ. CREDIBLE, we'll known as an
umpire of merit, has been selected to
handle the indicator for the league
He has seen professional service, and
the league officials are congratulating
themselves on their good fortune.
1t was decided not to apply for the
protection of the amateur commission,
as the league is only for Southern
railway employees, and such step
would be unnecessary.

Cleveland Fans
Pin Faith i'm Turner

CLEVELAND, April 9.-Probably more
than half of Cleveland's baseball fans
are wondering whether it is possible for
Terry Turner, the Nap veteran, to come
back sufficiently to play third base reg

rante kind of dope, but unless such a
turn of affairs does occur Cottontop will

all through the season.
Terry is the Turner who will be re-
membered as probably little slower in
his throws, but still capable of produc-
ing the thrills.
Among those who believe Turner's
Erm has regained its former strength is
Manager Jim Mcclure. So confident is
he of this fact that last evening he turn
ed Herman Bronkie the only regular
substitute infiGlder, over to Captain
birmingham, of the Yarrigans.
If Boss Jim enterta ined the least fear
that Turner was not just right, he would
certainly be taking a long chance in
allowing Bronkie to depart. Sid Smith.

TEAM IS WANTED
TO TAKE FRANCHISE
IN AMATEUR LEAGUE
Dropping Out of Peck Leaves
Vacancy in Sunday School
Organization.

Col. William De Grange. president
of the Sunday School League. an
nounces that there is a vacancy in the
circuit and that teams desiring to
enter should send their applications
to his residence. 645 A street north
east.
The withdrawal of the Peck team
Yesterday caused the vacancy and as
the officers are particularly anxious
to close up, all business before the
opening of the season, they desire
some strong team to affiliate with
their organization. 1t is known that
several teams have wanted to get in
for some time and 1t is expected that
one of these will land the franchise.
l. Peck's withdrawal was not wholly
unlocked for as the resignation of its
manager Friday. was a forerunner of
the event, and a committee was i'm
mediately appointed by Colonel. De
Grange to determine just what stand
Peck was going to take in the mat
ter. The standing of the league is
not impaired in the least by the with
drawal of the team, but coming at
this time it has proved decidedly in
convenient. -

led the American League batters in 1905.

Board for Consideration
During May.

Unless definite action is taken by
the Board of Education in the near
future the annual rife tournament
held under the auspices of the ,Na-
tional Rifle Shooting Association for
the schoolboys of the District is liable
to go by the board.
For the past two casters the asso-
citation has conducted the tourney.
This year formal application was
made to the board by Lieutenant
Jones. Nothing has been heard from
it, and the association has again ask
ed consideration. The District tour
ney could be run in the week of May
20, in conjunction with the annual
competition of Schoolboy teams in the
United States.
1t is understood that petition will be
sent TO the Board of Education signed
by more than two hundred schoolboy
marksmen of the high schools. The
Mckinley Manual Training School heads
the list, with some seventy-five names

by many high school boys during the
winter with the expectation of partici-
paIing in the annual event, the failure
OF the board to sanction the date or
give lI6 LidlltI CO1lSfOeTdlIOn Is ReeHlN
felt by the rifiemen. Lieutenant Jones,
of the n. r. A, said he would again
call attention to the date, If nothing
was forthcoming soon.
1t is now impossible TO hold the shoot
at Easter, as too many arrangements
must be made, and the time is too lin
fted.
The teams from the District have shot
for the past two seasons for the hand
some trophies presented by Secretary
Dickinson, Assistant Secretary of War
oliver, Chief of Ordinance William Gro
zier, and w. B. Hibbs. The Washington
Times and the Evening Star also do
mated cups. Several teams have al
ready won the right to possession of
the cups for one year. Teams must
win three times for permanent possess
sion, and the association wishes to run
the tourney again this year in order
that continuity may not be broken.

ANXIOUS TO MEET
IN SECOND MATCH
Each Gains Fall in Bout
Which Lasts Until
Midnight.

Both Joe Grant and Joe Turner are
anxious to match up again for a return
wrestling bout, after the draw last
night, and it is more than likely that
they will be seen in action some time
during the next two weeks.
. Had it not been for the expiration of

esting match would undoubtedly have
been decided. AS it was, each obtained
a fall, and the men were hard at it
when Sunday morning called a halt on
the proceedings. <
The first fall was made when Joe
Grant fastened Turner's shoulders to
the mat after q minutes and IL seconds
Of hard work. Time and again both
were on the defensive, and 1t began to
look like Grants victory. Considerably
refreshed by a ,ten-rninute rest, Turner
came back and got after Grant with a
will, pinning him to the mat after q
minutes Of fast wrestling -.
1t is expected that agreements Will
be made for return bout in the near

That Gallaudet would have won yes
