| 1t was reported this morning that sew
| era OF the local amateur league oaH
| players would go to one of the profess
sona1 circuits = in the near future. 1t
was probably just about as authentic as
! several others that have been given out
along the same lines. in other words
| there appears to he absolutely no paSis
| for such statements.
/ The management of the club referred
to in the statement to the effect that sew
eral of its players would leave to play
pro ban made it plain this morning that
there was nothing to the report, and that
the players themselves knew absolutely
nothing about the proposition One play
| er said that he didn't know where the
runor came from unless somebody i'm
agined it, His is probably the correct
supposition.
| Only a couple Of weeks ago a certain
! pitcher in one of the leagues was report
| cd to be sure to go to the Pittsburgh
| club in the National League When tiie
! matter was mentioned to him the pitcher
| in question laughed and said that all he
i knew about ii was what ne saw III
| paper. and that if he were going TO the
big league somebody else knew more
Meyers and Holden, two Pepco players
who are performing with hotel nine up
! in Pennsylvania, will be back to take
, part in the poSi-seaSon series. Word
came from them this morning that they
would be back to play in the champion
! ship series.
I 1t might be mentioned in this connec-
/ ton that Meyers the first game IN
which he played by hitting a home run
in the last half of the ninth inning with
| two men on.
I pf
/ Pennsylvania player will assist Gargan in
developing the Georgetown University
| foot ball team this fall Dennis is the
name of the new coach, and he played
a half backs position ut Penn.
! Dennis has been coaching for the last
! two three years at st. Joseph
, College. and his work there has attracted
some attention. He should prove of much
assistance to Coach Gargan.
/ The announcement that Dennis had
been secured by Georgetown made
! by Manager Loichot.
| 1t was also stated that practice would
begin the afternoon of Monday, Septem-
| Der ~.
At a meeting Of the Sunday School
League officials evening before last new

in the circuit. 1t is as follows:

| \ doubleheader will be played in the
| Independence League Sunday afternoon.
In the first contest the Potomac Electric
! Power Company will meet the National
] club, and in the second Southland Will
| play Manhattan
Both games should prove close and in
] terestng. Each of tho clubs has a ca
pable finger 10 use on the mound. and
! "a well pitched game anywhere generally
means an interesting one.
The score of the Washington and Chi
cago game will be given to the crowd by
innings on the score board.
/ The Printers, champions of the Mar
quette League, will leave here August 16
/ for Boston, where the series OF elimina
/ ton games Will be played. 1t is thought
that the Washington typesetters have
better than even chance to win the cham
pionship.
The track meet scheduled to be held
August IL under the auspices of the
/ post office is likely to prove of a much
| wider scope than at first thought.
Not only does 1t appear that there will
/ be goodly number of entries, but ii is
] probable that many of them will be of
exceptionally high class In nearly all the
| departments of the government there are
many former college men working. and
| great majority of them athletes. BY
all accounts II seems that all will take
part in the meet.
/ Many have been training in Potomac
Park for the events. The bureau of
! engraving and printing has had big
! squad out for the last two weeks get
ting it in shape in an effort TO capture
| the point trophy.
Manhattan forfeited to Pepco yester-
day in the Independence League. II
was one Of to few times that forfeit
has occurred III that circuit
i No game is scheduled in the Columbia
| League for this afternoon. blu: 1t is
probable that the American Security
and Trust Company viii meet the
/ Braddock club.
/ The Post Office team is letting no OPP
portunites pass to improve itself and
keep in condition for the games it
! must win if il is TO secure the post
! season championship. Two or three
games are being played every week.
and by that means the pitchers and
other players will be kept in perfect
shape for the big games.
