The Washington herald., 1911-07-07

between the Moses and D. N. Walford
teams, President Graf was notified that
the Moses club had sold its franchise to
me National Electrical Supply Company,
and that, with his sanction, the last
named aggregation would assume all
responsibilities ana fulfill all obligations
to the league.
President Graf had a long talk with
Mr.. Powell, of the Electrical Supply
Company, and agreed to the transfer.
The new team will play its first game
Saturday, meeting the fast R. P. An
drews aggregation.
In a statement to The Washington
Herald last night, President Graf said,
Moses action in selling its franchise
is due to the fact that Manager Carlisle
Martin is leaving the city and the furni
ture boys are without a leader. Rather
than take a chance with a less expe-
rienced man they decided to sell their
franchise. Personally, am sorry to see
this team leave the league, for they al
ways gave a good account of themselves
on the field, and have yet to forfeit
game
It is understood that Manager Powell,
of the Electricians will take over the
Moses uniforms and the majority of the
players, filling in the weak spots with
first-class men.
Giovanetti, the crack local amateur
catcher, did not go to Danville to join
the Lynchburg club, of the Virginia
League yesterday, and gave as his ex-
cuse that he could not obtain furlough
from the navy yard, where he is en-
ployed.
Giovanetti, by not taking advantage of
this opportunity, misses chance to earn
about twice as much money by playing
ball as he can hope to pull down in the
navy yard. He will whistle for another
opportunity to get into organized base
= ball.
Sidney Lodge, the Silver Spring catcher,
is placed in a peculiar position. Lodge
made good with the Richmond club of
the Virginia league early in the season.
but quit because he did not relish pro-
fessional baseball. When he. left he
promised Manager Bradley that II he
bradley ever wanted him to help out
he would be ~ the job. 81.
Yesterday a long letter from Bradley
informed Lodge that the Richmond club
W dS III d DdO way lOE CdlSuCES anu A@OABS
was wanted to help out for a couple of
weeks or SO.
If Lodge goes to Richmond he will be
barred from playing any more amateur
baseball. If he. refuses to go he will, of
necessity, be forced to break his word
with the manager of the Richmond club.
Lodge has until next Tuesday to say
which way he will turn, and the result
will be of interest to followers Of anna
teur baseball -r-
Havenner and the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac teams, of the Commercial League,
will play an exhibition game on the Riv-
er View diamond tomorrow afternoon.
