The amateur baseball leagues may
call off all games tomorrow in order to
allow the players to see the Athletics
Nationals game, according to those in
terested in the affairs of the circuits.
Every amateur fan and player Is vital
ly interested in the doings of the return
ing heroes, and there Is strong posi-
bility OF calling off all contests and 60
ing out to the ball yard.
The matter will probably be taken up
AT the amateur meeting slated for
Spaldings tonight. While nothing def
mite has been decided, the followers of
the leagues look for a general calling
on of all games. 1t is pointed out that
the fans would not attend the games,
and the players being anxious to see
the homecoming. would desert the
teams. For this reason the league
heads will probably ask for a general
agreement calling off games.

and are at times invaluable. The small
rubber-tipped valve inside, which is
really the valve proper. sometimes leaks
when old. 1t can be screwed out readily
by inverting and inserting the notched
valve cap and using 1t like screw
driver. When the valve inside is re-
moved II is only the work Of moment
