day in full force following a rest Of two
days. A number of interesting contests
are carded for the various sandlots, and
fans are expected in fun array, al
though it must be admitted the inter-
est in baseball is rather waning in
favor OF the Nationals.
Indications point to a generous turn
ing out of all of the amateur teams and
their followers for the Amateur Day
which Manager Griffith has set for
June "a. At that time many of the
amateur organizations In full uniform
are to join in parade headed by the
Nationals and will pass in review on
the Avenue. returning to the park for
a full dress parade. 1t goes without
saying that the amateur fans are 60
ing to turn out In fun force at the
parade and will be on hand to see their
favorites at the park.
Prizes are to be given to the best ap-
paaring teams. and it is expected that
number of teams not In the amateur
circuits will come out for the compe-
tition. Amateur Day is bound to be a
success, and is to be made an annual
affair. Manager Griffith struck popu-
lar note when the event was suggested
as the amateurs are going to take the
matter up and prepare for the event
with good will.
