The amateur circuits are running UP
big list of postponed games, and by the
end of the regular schedules will have
accumulated enough to carry the season
on for several days longer. It would not
be surprising il some OF the circuits will
have to call an abrupt end to their list of
contests before 1t is ended, because of the
ruling Of the commission which demands
they must be finished by certain time.
The majority Of leagues already have
several deferred games to play, and there
will be two more this week at least.
Yesterday, because of Amateur day,
the schedules were declared off, while
they have also been suspended tomorrow
for the same reason.
There is a possibility. though. that the
games may be, played tomorrow. The
game at American League Park will be-
gin at O'Clock, which means it ought
to be over by 4:45. That should give the
amateur clubs time enough to get back
regular contests Whether or not the
players would want to do that is ques-
ton. The chances are much in favor of
them not desiring that method Of helping
the schedule along to be adopted.
A regatta, was held yesterday on the
Potomac between the Analostan and
Technical High School crews. The
won from the school first eight and
the boat clubs first eight. The schools
and boat clubs first crews started from
scratch, with the second school team
length and three-quarters ahead. The
race was closely rowed. and there was
not much open water between the
three at the finish. The Manual Train
ers' first eight was second and the
clubmen finished last.
One four-oared race between two
shells of the Ana1ostan Club had to be
rowed over. as the first race was a
dead heat. On the second trial the
event was won by only few inches.
Two other races took place. One was
between two canoe fours from Techni-
cal, while the other was a brush be-
tween two fours' from the boat club
Each Of the local boat clubs Is begin
ming to be active on the water. as is
Technical High. The whole season will
be devoted to getting men in shape for
the regatta to be held here this fali.
The Middle States events will take
place on the Potomac, and 1t is de-
sired by the local organizations to
make as good showing as possible.
From now on until the big races come
of the high school and boat club crews
will be out on the water in hard train
ing for the affair The showing made
yesterday by the scholastic eight would
seem to presage much for 1t when 1t faces
other aggregations In Its class: 1t won
from the Analostan. Club handily yester-
day and will steadily show Improvement
under the tutelage Of Hecox. who has
charge of it.
Give the Potomac Electric Power Com,
pany the two players 1t is after and
there is no question about It's winning
the championship Of the Independence
League The only matter about which
there will be any doubt is whether or not
1t will beat out the other clubs in the post
season series The club right now is
strong enough to hold any of the others
in the District and with the addition OF
Murphy and Zanelli is likely to be con-
sidered one Of the strongest amateur or
ganizations in the south.
The Potomac Electric Power Company
nine is scheduled to meet the Southland
club again this afternoon. and 1t Is more
than possible that Zanelli will appear in
the lineup Murphy has yet to be rein
stated. but judging by the fact that the
commission rescinded it's ruling in case
of the one, it will take the other back

streets northeast-Anacostia VS.. Ingram.
Treasury League. White Lot Ellipse-
Civil Service vs. State
Two or three games scheduled are apt
to prove very interesting. Ingram and
Anacostia should put up q good game
In the Sunday School League: the .Pepco-
Southland game will be we'll worth see
ing: Adams and Southern should furnish
a fair game, while Cornell and Brent
wood in the CaNital City League will not
be far behind the others in interest.
The Cornell-Brentwood game will give
a correct idea as to the relative strength
of the latter compared with the other
clubs in the circuit. In the other contest
it was defeated by Navy Yard only by a
rally in the last inning. up to which time
it had easily held good lead, and IL it
shows well against the admittedly strong
est organization in the league today it
