Manager Gray will today send his
Pepco team against the all-star COM
bination, which he defeated with the aid
of Dick Robertson, the Savannah twirl-
er. on Tuesday. Robertson will oppose
the Pepco team, and Manager Gray ex-
poets to start his star pitcher, Barton,
against the minor leaguers.
Barton and Munich will be the battery
for the champion Pepco team. and Rob
ertson will be upheld by his old partner.
Joe Giebel, who has caught him for the
past three seasons, here in the city
among the amateurs and in Savannah
against the league teams. 1t Is likely
that the all-star combination will have
the same lineup which played on Tues
day, although several others who have
returned from the minors may augment
the team.
The fans are sure of seeing one Of the
best games of the season. On Tuesday
the Pepco team won by to 2, having
its hands full and backing Robertson
up in great shape. The game today is
calculated to put the Pepco team on its
mettle, for the games at Richmond on
Saturday, when the Battle Axe team is
taken on for a return doubleheader.
There is little doubt in any of the
followers of the Pepco team or of any
other amateur fan in the city that the
champion Pepco team will be returned
an easy victor on Saturday. The Battle
Axe team in no way classes with the
Pepco aggregation in pitching, hitting
or fielding, and will probably be beaten
as badly as 1t was on its trip here on
Saturday. Members of the Pepco team

While the amateur rules of Baltimore
are not the same as either those OF
Richmond or Washington It might be

were anxious to get into the intercity

and might like to play with the Pepco
team before the games are called OF
for the season.
From the prospects and plans Of the
new Washington A. A, there is every
indication that the club will put a
strong baseball team in the field next
club to foster nothing but track ath-
letics and by spring 1t is almost an as
sured thing that the organization will
have a team in the field. 1t is more

baseball players who are members OF

The majority Of the amateur leagues
h"ve anparently made good financially
this season although there are few
which are reporting losses. Amateur
baseball costs those vitally interested a
great deal Of money each year and
much time. Reports Of the various
treasurers Of the leagues show some
balance although few are able to repor,
much in the way of financial gains
The report of the treasurer OF the
amateur commission will be awaited
with considerable interest as the games
this year were fairly well attended and
should show a balance in the treasury
for next season.
