The amateur league season will end to-
morrow, The last contest will be played
in the regular schedules of the only cir
cult which has yet to end it's list of
games.
Yesterday marked the close of the sea-
son i'm the Northern Association and Rail-
road Y. NJ. c. A. Leagues. and only one
game remains to be pulled of in the In
dependence. the only organization which
has not completed it's list. There will
probably be an exhibition contest in the
independence circuit Sunday afternoon,
but it will have no bearing whatever on
the championship, as that is already de-
cided.
Tomorrow will mark the end of the
season in all the leagues. and the sec
tional series will be opened Monday. After
that is decided the games between the
winners of the championships in the diff
ferent classes will be played and the final
winner will be pitted against the team
from Richmond in a double-header Labor

That is about what will be prepared for
and discussed at the meeting Of the COM
mission this evening.
looks as though it will finish the list Of
games 1t il to play with almost clean
record. The league has undoubtedly put
biggest attraction it can afford, and
last two or three days.
The only game. though, in which it will
draw a good gate Is probably that Of
Sunday. in which it will stack UP against
a crowd Of all-stars This is about the
only kind Of a club in the circuit which
can hold it's own with the Electricians,
and one composed OF that kind of a
bunch should put up a good exhibition.
Heck and Rhodes. two men who did a
great deal to keep the Sherwood club up
in the Sunday School League race last
dian nine. which IL booked to play sew
eral games around here within the next
few days. The two players have been
with the Indian club for some time. Heck
was q member of the travelling organiza-
ton last year. and started with it the
first of the present season. Rhodes did
not join 1t until about q month ago.
! Both men have been doing some mighty

two games this season in which Heck
has not connected for a hit or two, while
Rhodes Is q pitcher and has won the ma

Both boys are getting experience which
undoubtedly will land them higher in
the base ball world.
If the post-season series begins Mon
day it is probable that the Union Print
ers, champions Of the Marquette League.
win take part in the games. The Printers
do not 60 to Boston to play in the inter-
city championship for printers until
about August 16. and they would thus be
given some opportunity to play.
It ID to be hoped that some kind of ar
rangements will be made whereby the
Printers can take part in tn champion
ship series, as It would not be conducive
to best results to have them left out. even
though there II little chance for them to
win the It'll.
The Cherokee Indians will play at
Gaithersburg today. at Alexandria to-
morrow and will come back to Washing
ton Sunday for q doubie-header at Union
League Park.
The amateur commission will meet
this evening at 8 o'clock to determine
arrangements for the post-season
series All matters likely to come up
pertaining to the games will be taken
up and disposed OF.
II Is also probable that some talk
will be made regarding the intercity
series at the meeting tonight, because
the committee from Richmond will be
here Monday to make plans Tor the
