NAMED SECRETARY
District League Meets at
Aloysius Club.

The board of directors of the new Dis
trict League convened at the Aloysius
Club yesterday morning. when Andrew
A. Ormsby was unanimously elected sec
retary and official scorer. .
Mr. Ormsby is we'll acquainted with the
rank and file of amateur ball tossers in
the District. having been associated for
the past three years with the Independ-
ence aud Sunday School circuits, and he
enters upon his duties with the new
organization with the respect and best
wishes Of all the managers and players.
But one office of the District League
remains to be filed, that of the vice
presidency and the board of directors
are looking around in the hope of find
ing a good man who is not connected
with any of the teams in the league.
Several applications for franchises were
made but no decision was reached, as 1T
is the purpose of the league to pick two
of the strongest and best organized clubs
20 complete the roster.
The matter of selecting an official UNI
pire was taken under consideration, but
was finally left to the discretion and
judgment of the president, who will get
into communication with the various ap-
plicants this week.
Messrs. Handiboe and Jones, compos-
ing the committee on the schedule, re-
ported that the league would, in all prob
ability, open its season on May !, and
close August 10, and no postponed games
will be played after the latter date. In
til the circuit is completed. the teams
which will clash on the opening date will
not be decided.
The constitution committee, composed
of Messrs. Luitich, O'Connor. and Handi-
Doe, hope to have that document ready
for consideration at the next meeting,
which will take place on Sunday morn
ing March 49, at IL o'clock, in the Alloy
sius Club.
Those present at yesterdays gathering
were President S. Z. Beach; Messrs.
Handiboe, tWoodward. and Lay, of the
Commissioners; Messrs. Doyle. Kraft
and Jones, of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing; Messrs. Johnson and Lui-
itch, of Columbia Q0D, and Messrs. O'Con-

johnson Will Get First Good Workout Of the Season To-day
MOVES AFTER HOLD-OUTS

Atlanta. Ca, March 12.-Presi-
dent Tom Noyes, of the Washing
ton baseball club, arrived here
late this afternoon. He is in At
lanta for the purpose of consult
ing Manager McAleer about the
three hold-ofts, Walter Johnson,
Doc Gessler. and Bob Groom,
none of whom have signed their
1911 contracts. Mr.. Noyes said:
Before 1 leave Atlanta the
players will have signed. Their
difference with the club can be
easily adjusted. I do not ex-
pect the least bit of trouble from
any of them"
Walter, johnson will demand a
$1,000 contract, an increase OF
$4,000 over last year. and as 1t
is doubtful If the club will stand
for this amount, a compromise
of $6, 900 is likely. Groom wants
more money and so does Cess
Ter. While McAleer will not
discuss the subject. it is known
that he is opposed to granting
the increases.
Interesting developments are
expected during the next few
days. President Noyes was
pleased with the appearance Of
the players, and said he was glad
the club had been able to obtain
accommodations in Atlanta for
the spring training trip.

EASY FOR SUPERBAs.
Wheat Makes Home Run, Triple, and
Two Singles.

Hot Springs. Ark, March 12-Bill
Daf lens Superbas had an easy time this
afternoon beating a picked team, six of
whose members were loaned to them by
the Brooklyns' manager. This was
caused by the departure of Knabe,
Ewing. and Lobert.. who were booked
to play for Birmingham, Ala. where
they will join their club tomorrow. The
score: Brooklyns, S; picked team, 4.
Nap" Rucker for the first time since
arriving here used plenty of curve. and
during his three-inning stay retired the
side runless. The real feature Of the
game was the hitting OF Wheat, who
knocked out a homer. a triple, and two
singles out of four times at bat. also
scoring four run.
The other home-run hitters were Barger
and MCElveen. The latter, along with
Davidson and Hummel, hit safely three
times. The score:

MAKE 1T THREE STRAIGHT.
PeIicans Swoop Down Upon Chances
CubIets and Win, to l.

New Orleans, March G.-The Pelicans
swooped down upon the hitless Cublets
and gulped them down for the third time
to-day. The Cublets succumbed this time
to l, and but for a muffed fly in the
ninth inning they would have been shut
out with one hit. AS 1t was, the recruits
made three safeties.
Chances new men l9pked worse in this
game than they have in any of the 9TH
ers. Safer, who is the most promising
of the bunch, revealed his lack of ex-
perience by his work on first. and Toney
showed wild and only effective in spots.
At that, he had lot better success than
did Reulbach, who opened the game and
lost it almost before it got started.
Reulbach was trying only for control,
and he was able to get the ball over.
The morning practice was called off to-
day, and the entire squad worked
out from l O'Clock until time to start
the game. The veterans are rounding
into condition, and from now on Chance
will work his regulars instead of the
recruits. Score:
