NEW LEAGUE GETS BUSY.
To Come Under Amateur Base Ball
Commission.

The East Washington Sunday School
League has applied for membership in
the amateur base ball commission Of the
District, and, If admitted, all games will
be played under the jurisdiction OF that
body. This action was decided on at a
meeting held at the residence of Mr.. c. C..
Love, 1918 D street northeast.
The following officers have been elected
for the year: c. c. Love, president; Burr
G. Williams. vice president: William w.
Conner, treasurer. and John p. Evans,
secretary and official scorer. The board
of managers will consist of Frank A. Car
penter, Ninth Street Christian Church
Edward S. Hantzmon. First Methodist
Protestant Church: Burr G. Williams.
Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, and
William w. Conner, First Presbyterian
Church.
1t has been decided that the league will
be composed Of four clubs. thus giving
each team approximately three games a
week Applications fer franchises from
several teams were considered, but on
account of the lone man, one team rule
of the amateur commission it was con-
sidered more preferable to limit the cir
cult to four clubs.
The grounds at 18th and D streets
northeast (the former home of the sun
day School League) have been secured.
improvements are under way which will
add to the comfort of the spectators. The
infield and outfield will receive attention
and be put into better condition than has
existed for years
The next meeting will be held tomorrow
evening at the residence of the president,
Mr.. Love, at s O'CLOCK. The schedule

BY II. c. BYRD.

The college base ball season will start
this week Three games are scheduled
to be play ed Saturday. Georgetown Will
meet Mount st. Marys, Gallaudet and
the Maryland Aggies will clash, while
the Catholic University nine will play
the team from the Baltimore City Col
lege.
1t is probable that the different squads
will start their season in poorer condl-
ton than has been the case in years. ow-
ing to the inclemency of the weather the
coaches have been able to do but little so
far toward getting their men in shape TO
start the seasons play.
or the four schools it is probable that
Gallaudet has the best conditioned bunch
of men. The Kendall Greeners have been
working outdoors for about two weeks,
while none of the others have had more
than two or three days good work.
Georgetown and Catholic University are
both back in their practice to a consid-
cradle extent. The Maryland Aggies have
had little or nothing in the way Of work.
outs and will start today for the first
time under the tutelage of a coach.
While the opening of the schedule at
Catholic University will hardly give an
accurate line on the real quality of the
team, as it will meet one much its infer
ior, the other institutions will likely be
compelled to extend themselves to the ut
most Gallaudet and NJ. A. c. should be
very evenly matched and each Will do It's
utmost to win the first game on its sched-
ule. Mount st. Mary's generally puts out
a fast ball club and it will not be an easy
nine for the Blue and Gray to down.
The Maryland Aggies will have two
men in the box this year who will proba-
bly, form a better pitching staff than has
graced a team turned out by that school
in years Smith, who did much good work
last spring, returned to school two weeks
ago and will go out for the team. while
Hoffecker, the mainstay of the 1911 sea-
son. Is counted on to do even better work
during the playing of the schedule, which
is to be opened with Gallaudet Saturday.
With these two men and the new ma
terial that will be out for the team the
Farmers will probably develop one of the
best mines they have ever had.
1t is reported that Georgetown has a
find this year in Hollander, who played
on the basket ball team. 1t is said that
the York boy is one of the fastest field
ers out for the nine, and that he is good
hitter beside. If so he will undoubtedly
strengthen the Blue and Gray team to a
considerable extent.
On paper it looks very much as though
the Tech nine will start the season the
favorite over any Of the other scholastic
teams. Besides having veteran pitcher

School and other school mines of this city
and vicinity are under negotiation. Man
ager Patterson finds it not as easy a
task as anybody would think to schedule
the games for the Gallaudet Reserves,
as 1t is q matter Of peculiar significance
that the city high school mines prefer to
play with the Buff and Blue varsity team
rather than give dates to the Kendall
Green Reserves, when it is well known
fact that the school mines and the Gal
laudet youngsters are in the same class
and more benefits would be derived by
both sides If they play within their class.
Manager Hughes Is determined to cut
down the number Of practice games for
the Gallaudet varsity this spring on ac-
count Of long intercollegiate schedule
and in order to give more practice to the
second-stringers, upon which the hopes
Of future Buff and Blue varsity mines are
based.

decision of the United States su-

glad tidings that the house has

Congressman Carter and Senator
Gore have been working hard in the

necessary that some provision be
made for the keeping open of these

the adverse decision of the supreme

means of support, decided to agree
to the provision and will furnish the

The Oklahoma Geological Survey

and finds that Oklahoma is rich in
deposits of this material. Frank But.
tram, chemist of the survey has been
in charge of the work which has been
pursued continuously for severai

D. w. Ohern, director of the Survey
said today that Mr.. Buttram had
studied in the field every deposit of
glass sand in the state and had made
accurate analysis in the laboratory
The most valuable deposits found are
at Crusher and Rolf in the Arbuckle

these localities is practically mex
haustible. The analysis show that
the quality is equal to and in most
cases better than that of the famous
Missouri sands.
We are now securing from Missouri
the sand for our six glass plants. The
survey says we can now supply these
factories with superior grade of Ok
lahoma sand and save a vast amount
in freight besides keeping the money
within the state. The glass factories
are in the state because of cheap fuel
The survey says that the glass in.

is used and that every .inducement
will be offered to have the plants
