EFFORTS TO SAVE

Invited.

E ARE URGED TO STAY
Officials Meet Friday to Take Up
i Question of Strenthening
T. Organization.

In an endeavor to save the Bankers
League from disbanding it is understood
the Chamber of Commerce team and
team from Hyattsville are being urged
to join and the American Security ano
Trust team to retain it's franchise.
The league has been far from strong
from the beginning of the season.
Games have been postponed and Ameri-
can Security has been too strong Tor
other teams. Commercial National has
been forced to postpone its games ana
all factors entering the case have peen
to the detriment of the league.
y At the start of the season 1t was sup
pos.d American Security would get
franchise in the Capital City League
but this fell through. 1t is known
that American Security will join the
Independence League on Friday, as all
ARRANGEMENTS have been pracucaliy
completed by that league, and the hrst
game scheduled for American Security
will be on Saturday.
The Bankers will hold meeting on
Friday when the matter will be taken
lin The officials of the amateur COM
mission have talked the matter over
and have come to a definite conclusion
as TO what will be done.

In one of the beat games of the sea-

by TO 3, and took the Hague leadership.
The second triple play of the amateur
season was made In the ninth inning
by the Manhattan nine. Herman,
Donnelly, and Dampier turned the trick.
The schedule has been changed: st.
Paul and st. Martins have been moved
UP from May % to today.
II is expected that a new team will
play in Saturdays scheduled game.
American Security may take the field
against st. Martin.
The pitching of Knott for the Kendall
team has been nothing short OF marvel
Gus, as he has famed thtrty-two men In
nineteen innings. Eleven hits have been
made in that duration off his delivery,
ne has passed nine, and hit five.
The last three rounds of the contest
were as exciting as could be wished for
In the seventh inning Rapp threw the
crowd in an uproar by catching Knott
mapping. stealing third and scoring
when the pitcher threw wild in en-
deavoring to stop him.
In the last half of the eighth the triple
play, Herman to Donnelly to S. DAM
pier. again caused a turmoil, and In the
uneven half of the ninth the three
base hit by Rapp over Clements head,
tha panSpd outbreak that
will long be remembered.
Not until the sixth did Manhattan
score or even get a hit off Knott. In
that session a base on balls, bunt hit
by Donnelly, and sacrifice flies by Scott,
Dampier, and HERMAN sent two runs
across the plate.
The second was Manhattan's bad
round. Tew was found for four hits,
and a sacrifice hit and an error by
the Manhattan catcher netted the win
ners two runs.

The game yesterday between Interior
and Agriculture came very near endlng
IN q riot, but Umpire Abbey finally
Gained matters down enough to allow
Interior to nose out the Farmers TO 4.
The trouble all came about in the sew
enth inning, when, with the bases load
ed and none out, lie Due changed his
position at the bat and was called out.
Venniman became very excited at the
decision and was elected for oo1ecting
too strenuously.
The benching of Venninan turned out
to be lucky incident for Agriculture,
for Fields, who batted for him, sent in
three runs with a long double.
Interior came to bat at the end of
the seventh with darkness fast gather
ing and with Agriculture one run In
the lead, but an error by Doyle and a
scratch single, placed runners on second
and third from where they scored on
Harry Zannellis long hit.
This hit of Zannelli's ought to have
been a home run, as Harry had crossed
the plate long before the ball was re-
turned TO the diamond, but as the run
scored from second was the winning
run, the hit had to go as double.
The two leaders meet this afternoon
Postoffice and Commerce and Labor
play. and another tight battle can be
expected.
For several days scores have been in
terestingly close and usually undecided
up to the last two innings. II is
thought that the teams are more evenly
balanced than the other leagues in the
city.
Umpire Abbey Is certainly having his
troubles. Hardly a day goes by but
something happens to keep him on the
outs with the players and fans.
The crowd persists in getting inside
the ropes and spectators are continually
annoyed by small boys and friends of
players who take UP needed room inside.
