Chicago Offers Three Players and

NEW York, July 12.-There were per
sistent rumors in base ball circles here to-
night that Hal Chase, the one-time star
first baseman of the New York American
club and former manager of the team,
will be traded to the Chicago Americans.
It Is said that President Comiskey is will

year since breaking into tho big leagues.
At present Sterrett, the former Princeton
catcher is playing such a good game at

perceptibly weakening the team.
President Johnson Is in New York with
President Comiskey OF the White Sox.

is here in an effort to flnd out what is all

WoLTER NOT IN DISGRACE.
Reinstated by Yankees After
Pseudo SUSPENSION.

NEW YORK, July 13.-Harry Wolter.
the outhelder Of the Yankees, who broke
his leg early in the season. was rein
stated yesterday by Frank Farrell. owner
OF the club. after a short suspension. The
news that Wolter had been set down was
made public only on Thursday in an Off
cial bulletin from the headquarters OF
the league. An inquiry as to the cause
developed the fact that he had been re-
stored to good standing.
Tom Davis secretary Of the club. ex-
planned that Wolter was suspended be-
cause Of the fact that SO many players
were out of the game on account of in
juries that it was necessary to get rid
of one man temporarily in order to keep
within the legal limit of twenty -hrs play
ers This was done to give Harry VOL
verton a few extra days in which to try
out one or two of his new men. so that
he could decide who to release.
The ak fell on Earl Gardner who was
sold to the Maps a few days ago, as pub
lished. With Gardner off the team 1t was
possible to reinstate Wolter, even though
there is small chance Of his being any
service to the club for the rest Of this
season.

YESTERDAYS RESULTS:
Braddock, 4: Southern, 1.
GAMES TODAY:
Southern vs.. Security.
Equitable VS. Standard.

Braddock. with several new players in
its lineup. scored a to ! victory over
Southern in the Columbia League yes
terday. The game went but seven and a
half innings because ii was started late,
but was one OF the fastest of the season.
Sam Cuttings. the rangy youngster who
was reinstated by the commission at its
meeting Thursday night. pitched for
Braddock and gave an excellent account
Of himself. He allowed but four ecattered
hits and retired FIVE on strikes. He should
prove a valuable acquisition for the club
men. who are just now in the thick or the
fight for second place.
Braddock had two other new players in
the lineup who should be heard from
before long Ad Loehl. a catcher. well
known to District amateurs. who was
with the Manhattan club of the dnde-
pendence League. and Nick Bailey. who
played for q while with Silver Spring

In its lineup which materially weakened
the batting strength OF the team. Shea,

out of the game for a couple OF weeks.

REMNANTS ARE DEFINITELY
DECIDED IN THREE CIRCUITS
Departmental, Marquette and Government
League Championships Have Been Won
by Post Office, Printers and G.P.O.
BY n. G. BYRD.

The championship has been definitely
decided in three leagues. The teams re-
ferred to are SO far ahead that 1t would
be impossible for any other cub to catch
them. and the season has been ended in
one circuit.
Yesterday the Marquette League gave
up the ghost and declared the Printers
pennant winners and eligible to represent
the circuit in the championship series
The Post Office is SO far ahead in the
Departmental League it Is impossible for
any other club to win out in the games
remaining. In the Government League
yesterdays contest gave definiteness to
the already practically secure hold which
Government Printing Office had on the
pennant.
The following contests are scheduled to
take place in the amateur circuits today
Columbia League, 10th street and CO.
lumbia road-Security VS.. Southern; Equi-
table VS.. Standard.
Capital City League North Capitol and
L streets-Open date

Sunday School League. 14th and A
streets-Lincoln vs.. Nativity.
Two probable pennant winners will be
seen in action. The American Security
and Trust Company will meet Southern
play the Aloysius team in the Independ-
ence League.
A benefit game will be PLAYED tomorrow
at 18th and D streets southeast between
the Sewerage Pumping Station. formerly
of the Capital City League. and the vigi-
lants, one of the strongest local independ-
ent clubs. The contest will be for the
benefit of Earl Collinsworth, who re-
ceived severe fall some time ago.
Collinsworth was a member OF botf
teams. He played with the Sewerage
League. and was one Of the best men or
the foot ball eleven representing the
Vigilants. The youngster was an excel
lent performer on both organizations.
The Marquette League Is the first cir.
cult to end it's schedule this season. The
Georgetown circuit probably figured that
it would be better to declare pennan,
winner now than to play through the few
games remaining on the schedule and run
the risk of having more forfeits.
Capt. Edwards deserves a great deal OF
credit for having held the league togethe,
as long as he has this season in view OF
the many drawbacks encountered. The
circuit will be reorganized next year with.
out much doubt.
Bob Murphy will almost assuredly play
with the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany nine in the independence League FOL
the remainder of the season. 1t Is rumor-
ed that I4itz will also join that club. II
the report is true then it is probable the
two men will be seen in action today In
the contest with the Aloysius club.
