SEAMEN GUNNERS
OUT OF LEAGUE
Forfeit Third Consecutive Game and Automatically
Leave the Capital City League-New Team to Be
Drafted From Remaining Three.

with it's third consecutive forfeit, the
game awarded to Cornell Company yes
terday, the Seamen Gunners, of the
Capital City League, made good their
threat and are today automatically
dropped from the circuit. 1t now de-
wolves upon the officials of the league
to replace the Seamen Gunners with an
other team or forfeit the right to put
the winner in the post season series.
President Robert II. Young and Sec
retary II. V. Shurtleff, of the amateurs
are quoted as saying that the Capital
City League will have to place team
in the circuit or be unable to he repre-
sented in the hig games at the end of
the amateur season. The officials Of
the Capital City circuit will most like
ly draft players from the three teams
now in the league in order to keep
things going.
There has been talk of consolidation
with the Columbia League, but such a
move is thought unlikely. One or two
weak teams in the Columbia circuit
might well be displaced by the stronger
clubs of the Capital City League. but no
such move Is expected.
But five days remain before the
players now III haNS
| a chance to become amateurs. After
| the first of June. players who are now
under the national agreement or pro-
| fessional baseball such as the United
States League, will be forever barred
J from participation from amateur base
| ball in Washington. There are number
| of players due for a return to the am
ateur ranks and 1t is not at all i'm
probable that their contracts are now
| in the hands of the amateur managers
| The amateurs begin the fifth week or
| the season with about the same stand
| ing that obtained last week in the yari-
| Gus circuits. Several of the teams have
| shown exceptional strength and ability
| TO overcome the weaker aggregations
and have jumped in the lead.
A number of good interleague games
| are being scheduled for May 30, and
| Practically all of the amateur diamonds
| will be in use all day on that date, and
! a number OF games is bound to attract
| large attendance, due to the fact that
| the fans want the recreation. ,
A number of diamonds need attention.
| MANY of the playing fields are in poor
| condition owing to the abundance OF
| rain during the past two weeks. Grass
| has grown up in the outfield of many

| Lot diamonds could be fixed up better,
and would insure faster and better base
