NEW LEAGUE IS LIKELY
TO BE FORMED TOMORROW
Bankers League Will Probably Be Dissolved
and a New Circuit Made Up at Meeting
Tomorrow-Amateur Comment.

There is every probability that when
the Bankers League officials meet tomor-
row afternoon the old circuit will be done
away with and a new one formed. Whiie
nothing definite has been given out re-
garding the matter, 1t Is known that
several of the mon now interested In the
Bankers circuit are quietly working with
that end in view
The whole secret of the Bankers
League situation lies in the fact that the
other teams are trying their best to force
the American Security and Trust Com
pany to withdraw from the circuit SO
that they will be given more of a chance
to win games and to take the pennant.
1t is doubtful, though. if the Security
Company is going to be SO easily ousted
and from all accounts intends to fight the
thing through.
1t is certain that if the American Secu-
rity and Trust Company does not with
draw several Of the other teams will. and
ii is this that the Trust Company is wait
ing for. as 1t has been making efforts.
and with quite a little success. to have
new league ready to take the place of the
old one
The teams as they now stand In the
league are no match for the American
shown in the games which have been
played by that nine in the last few days.
Yesterdays battle. in which that club
participated against the District National,
resulted in 25-to-0 score, with the lat
ter team not registering hit and the
former making twenty-five safe binglcs,
the majority of them for extra bases.
1t is almost surety that when the
league meets tomorrow night several of
the teams now composing the league will
be consolidated and two outside
mines admitted in place of those dis
banded, thus making the league much
stronger combination than 1t Is at pres
ent
The Georgetown Props. after playing
good base ball for eight innings yester-
day against the Culpeper nine; blew UP
in the last and lost. to ]. The score
until the last chapter was ] to % In favor
of the embryo collegians. but a success
sion of hits and errors paved the way for
tthe sending of eight tallies across the
pan.
The Maryland Aggies leave tomorrow
morning for Baltimore. where they will
play the Mount St Joseph College team.
The team will spend the night in the
Monumental city and leave Saturday
morning for Emmitsburg. where it Is
booked to meet the Mount st. Mary's ag-
gregation in the afternoon.
Coach Grayson has the Farmers play
ing better ball now than at any time in
the past four years. and there is every
likelihood that he will get away with the
long end Of the score in both games.
Central High School showed yesterday
that 1t has the ability to hit the ball hard
when it is going right. The pitchers of
the Cardinal Athletic Club were batted
for eleven runs in the game yesterday
afternoon in Alexandria, while Armstrong
held the Virginians safe at all stages of
the contest.
Georgetown won a clean-cut victory
yesterday over the West Point nine by
being able to hit the ball consistently in
one inning. In the fifth eight runs were
hammered out on the nine safe hits that
were secured in that chapter. George
town came near dropping the game in the
late innings, as the Soldiers came from
behind and batted out seven runs, MAX
ing the final score 10 to s.
While the game between Central High
and Western next Tuesday afternoon un
doubtedly means the championship to
the school winning It, there is every
likelihood that the boys from across the
creek win not make the showing ex-
pected Of them. Failure Of the players
to get excused from drills and to report
for workouts from other reasons has
not allowed the team to get a single

practice game against the Georgetown
Freshmen the nine played a joke game.

and it is very probable that unless some
mighty hard work Is done in the next
two or three days and a great deal of
Improvement is shown Central will win
the deciding game by wide margin.
Tech and. Business meet tomorrow In
another game in the high school series
1t is not probable that Tech will find
much trouble getting away with the
Etenographers, although with Burley in
the box the Business nine should cut
much more OF a figure in the race than
It has SO far.
The games being played by the Ameri-
can Security and Trust Company against
the other teams in the Bankers League
are becoming big jokes. Two contests
have been waged by the Security crowd
so far this week, and in one the score
ran up was in the teens and in the other
twenty-five tallies were sent across the
plate. The opposing teams in both games
were unable to do anything.

night. and from now on it will require
but three days for a player to become
eligible after his name has been turned in
to the league. The idea is to allow the
teams more chance to strengthen their
playing list so that one or two of the
mines may be prevented from making a
runaway Of the race.
The Ninth Street team took a fall out
Of the First Street nine yesterday. 8 to 5.
The Ninth Street aggregation made a
rally in the seventh. which totaled four
runs and put the game on ice.
