NEW LEAGUE ST|RS
AMATEUR INTEREST
Withdrawal of Five Teams
Likely to Shake Up
Other Leagues. -,

Just what effect the formation Of the
new District Amateur League will have
on the baseball situation in the District
is a matter of great interest to those
concerned.
The five teams that have pledged them
selves to the new organization have
been members of various other leagues,
and their withdrawal is bound to cause
some difficulty in the circuits which
they have left.
At the meeting at the Aloysius Club
rooms yesterday, which resulted in the
forming of the new league, the fol-
lowing attended: L. G. Ward, for the
Postoffice Department, of the Depart
mental League; William Handiboe, for
the Commissioners, of the Departmental
League: r. f. Doyle. jr.. for the Bu-
reau, of Engraving and Printing; c.
Kraft, for the Manhattans, of the In
dependence League; J. F. Luitich, for
the Columbia, lO1, of the Marquette
League; Maurice O'Connor, for the
Aloysjus club, of the Capital City
League.
1t is thus seen that the leaving of
these teams is more than likely to work
hardships in several other organiza-
tions. 1t Is not yet decided by the new
league whether 1t will enter the amateur
commission, but that the league will
play strictly amateur ball is assured.
az. Edward Beach, an attorney. was
named president and treasurer at the
meeting yesterday. John F. Luitich
acted as temporary secretary. Other
offices will be filled at the next meeting
later in the week.
The old Capital City grounds at First
and M streets northeast, recently leased
to the Gonzaga College, and sublet to
the Aloysius Club, will be used by the
new organization with reservation to the
Club for Sundays and holidays.
The season as now planned will start
about the first of May, and each team
will play about twenty-five games.

"Cy" Young Developing
Spit Ball for Reliance

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March Gin
the hope of making his last year in
baseball average up to the years in
which he did his best pitching, old Cy
Young, of the Maps, is developing a
spit ball upon which he will place his
main reliance this season. Young con-
fided this to one of the Cincinnati
players.
Old Cy says this will positively be
his last year in baseball, and that he
intends to work his head off to make
it one that will be remembered. Young
used the splitter the latter part of the
season of 1908, and occasionally during
the last two years, while working with
the Maps.
IF Cy uses the splitter and is able
to handle it the way he hopes to, he
should have a grand year." said Catch
er Mig Clarke. HE will be the hardest
spit-ball pitcher in the league to hold,
because of his great speed, but will also
be the hardest to hit"

The Third BaSeman.
BY Herman Nickersor

What a nice job this is. All he has
to do is to 'eat up bunts," stop hits
that travel at express train speed.
and get all throws, putting the ball
on the runner. Then he must hit for
300 all season. Yes, almost any one
can play third base, only some play
it better than others. When an own
er has a crack third baseman who
can stick for 800, he can dictate terms
to about any other owner in the
league. The difference between a
contender and a second division team
sometimes hinges upon the presence
or absence of such a man from third
corner.

CLERKS LEAGUE TO
MEET TOMORROW
Secretary Anderson Issues
Call to Officers for
Reorganization.

Secretary John H. Anderson of the De-
partmental League has issued a call
for meeting of the officials for tomor-
row afternoon at the Postoffice, for. the
purpose of reorganiza ton.
Mr.. Anderson was much wrought up
over the report that the Postoffice was
going to withdraw from the Depart
mental League and enter the new Dis
trict" circuit. He declared that no au-
thority had been given to anyone to
represent the team or to apply for ad-
mission. If such team enters the new
organization il will be second team, he
said.
Moreover Mr.. Anderson claimed to
have certain knowledge that the team
representing the Department of Com
merce and Labor will be entered in the
Departmental League. He discredits the
report that the team will go over to
the District" league.
The meeting tomorrow will determine
whether the Departmental League will
continue to exist and in the opinion Of
Secretary Anderson and other officers
of the league there is every reason to
believe that the league will again be in
the race for honors this season.

issued in 1903 to Prof J. j. Montgomery
of California. Montgomery is man
well known in the aeronautic world. His
patent was for flexing machine when the
wings were curved. The patents granite
to the wrights were for fexing the wings
Of flying machine when the wings were
fiat.
Now a flying machine with fiat wings
will not fly without the application oil
much more power than Is avallable
even with gasoline engine. The
Wrights have never attempted to build
a fat winged machine, but have always
built under the Montgomery patent. The
Wrights have never sued Montgomery
and he has never sued them, though 1t Is
stated that he has sent them letters or
warning by way of keeping his legal
rights alive.
The Montgomery machine was discrloed
as far back as 1898 when the aeronauti-
cal congress was held In Chicago and
there were public exhibitions of the ma
chine used as glider in California in
1905. What will happen If this fresh
complication is injected into the hying
machine legal controversy. it is hard to
say. -,
The original Wright suits in this coun-
try will get a court hearing some time
this fall. though it is not likely the new
suits will be heard for year longer
Even IL an adjudication of the patent
controlling the dominion Of the air Is
made this winter. the suits probably Will
be kept alive by legal motions two years
longer.
