Medic0s Forfeit Franchise and
League Gives Up the
Ghost.
OTHER AMATEUR COMMENT
BY c. w. SWAN.

The Marquette League has kicked the
bucket.
Yesterday the Naval Medical School
team failed to put in an appearance and
forfeited its third game. and at meet
ing of the organization last night IT was
decided TO close the season and award
the pennant TO the Washington Printers,
which team is leading the league at the
present time.
Forfeits have been a regular occurrence
in the MARQUETTE League this season, and
that It would not last until August was
rumored several times. but at the critical
moments Capt Edwards always sue
ceeded in holding the clubs together.
The blowing up OF the league reflects
no discredit on Capt. Edwards, the presi-
dent of the circuit Capt Edwards or
ganized this circuit many years ago, and
II is due to him that amateur baseball
reached the high plane the past few
years.
The Printers will represent the league
in the post-season series unless the COM
mission decides that the league Is not
entitled to representation in this series
for the championship of the District
: Mat Noone, the hard hitting catcher
and first baseman of the st. Stephens
team of the Marquette League, will more
than likely sign with the Nativity club
Of the Sunday School League sometime
to-day. Noone secured his release from
the ST. Stephens team Wednesday. so If
he signs Monday he viii be eligible for
the post-season series with the Nativity
club. which is looked upon as the sure
winner of the pennant in the Sunday
School League.
Phil Buscher will pitch for the Pump
ing Station team against the Vigilants
tomorrow in the beneit game for Earl
Collingsworth at Seventeenth and D
Streets Southeast, starting at 3 o'clock.
Earl Collingsworth will be remembered
as the star half back OF the champion
Tigilant football team last fall and also
as one of the best shortstops in the Dis
trict. He was injured some time ago
and WIZ be laid up for some time.
The game tomorrow will more than
will do the box work for the Vigflants.
with Shorty Rogers behind the bat.
Sid Lodge will catch Buscher.
Nativity and Ingram will meet early
next week in the game which will most
likely decide the pennant in the Sun
day School League.
Manager Dugan. Of the Maps. Is con-
fdent that his aggregation Of stars will
hoist the winning flag, and with that
end in view Is grooming 'Ffnny' Kelly
for the fray.
Bill Luscof1be, who has been doing the
big work with the willow for the Maps
will again be on third base, and this little
fighter should be able to make them all
hustle. Eberwein will do the pitching for
the Ingramites.
The Regents face the Park club Today
In the Northern Association. and real
battle is expected. Stringer. who has
been doing mighty good work for the
Kid Regents in the box the past few
weeks, will be on the hill, with Joe
Silverberg behind the bat. This pair
should be able to hold the heavy hitting
Parkites down.
Just who the Park club will pitch, now
that Tim Chism has stated that he will
not enter the box again for this club,
is hard TO see, unless Manager Miller
sends Bernie Gallagher to the slab.
Bernie has improved since the season
started, and seems TO have regained some
OF his old time form, when he was the
star Of the District. Should Bernie be in
form, a pitchers battle is due.
Because of a misunderstanding the
postponed game between National and
Southland scheduled for yesterday in the
Independence League was not played.
Southland presented a full team on the
