NOW IN COLUMBIA
Vacancy Caused BY Dropping of Silver Spring Team
From Circuit Filled BY Independent Nine-Capi-
tai City League Starts Season Again.

Players of the Silver Spring team. in
the Columbia League, are blaming
themselves for their non-appearance at
the scheduled games which that club
was to have played in the league, and
are saying that the fact that the team
Is dropped from the league is their own
fault
After waiting two weeks for the team
to appear, the officials of the league
decided to declare the Silver Spring
franchise void, and turned 1t over to
the Standard Athletic Club. a new team
which will fill out the Silver Spring
schedule
A number of Sewage Pumping Sta
tion players were included in the list of
Silver Spring players, and 1t is stated
that as these players were not released
from the Capital City League, their
playing in the Columbia League would
not have been allowed. While no names
q have been submitted as yet from ths
Standard Athletic Club, it was said
that the team will be able to hold its
own in the circuit.
The Standard Athletic Club is one OF
the independent teams In the District,
and has been playing fast ball. 1t Is
expected that the team Will play us
first game on Saturday, when 1t meets
Southern Railway.
The Capital City League started its
season again yesterday with a game
between Brentwood and the Cornell
Company. which was won by the latter
team. 1t Is expected that the league
will finish out its schedule from now
on. and no difficulty will be experienced
in getting the teams to appear.
Rumor has It that AL Hand.boe. now
playing FOR the Savannah team In the
South Atlantic League, is to get an
other chance In big league baseball.
Handiboc was tried out by the New
York Yankees. but failed to show class
as a hitter. He is slated to get berth

Few kicks are heard on the work of
the umpires this year and these men
are due for a little consideration and
praise. Not in several years has the
work Of the arbiters been OF such high
order. and President Robert H. Young

The failure Of the Nationals to live up
to their spring performances has result
ed in a grievous falling off in the at

demanding too much. Instead of being
delighted at the high ranking of the
