have been few instances in which more
than three tallies would be registered
| against them.
The officials of the Prince Georges
| County League are having their trou-
bles. 1t appears that Bladensburg and
/ Brentwood are having dispute re-
garding the title. 1t being claimed by
the latter that 1T could win If some
postponed games were played of.
Just what will be done to settle the
| controversy is question, but the sug-
gestion has been offered that a series
of five games be arranged between the
! two towns and let the winner of the
series have undisputed claim to the
championship. 1t is probable that that
will be the measure taken to arrive at
decision.
| The games to be played today In the
post-season series are as follows: In
section A. the Cornell Company will
Park team will stack up against the
Southern nine. In section A the game
| should prove a victory for Cornell, but
in the class C game there IL not much
to choose between the two mines sched-
uled to meet.
Cornell will probably send in one Of
his substitute twirlers In tho game to-
day against Post Office ana save For

games against Pepco and the Trust Com
AS the leading clubs stand at present
in the series Cornell has won three and
lost none, Pepco has won two and lost
one. and the Government Printing Office
has won two and lost none In section c.
In section B the championship is already
decided. II having been won by the Ninth
Street Christians.
There is little question that the ath-
letic association formed yesterday will
prove a very attractive feature of athletic
sport in the District The need of just
such an organization has long been felt
and the fact that it is being placed in
the hands of men who have had long
experience In the game will have much
to do with it's success Under the con-
ditions there seems little doubt that the
club will prove a success. both from the
standpoint OF its management and in
competition.
S. Edward Beach, who was elected to
the presidency of the club at its meeting
yesterday, is energetic, and will push the
affair to its greatest expansion IL any
one would. He has had much experience
in amateur athletics. and the manner in
which he so automatically held together
the Capital City League during the early
part of the present amateur base ball
season should give him recommendation
enough to meritorious work in making an
athletic organization go. The other off,
Gals have had much experience along the
line of track athletics. and should prove
efficient in performing their several duties.
Especially should Dan Hassett prove q
very capable man to manage the track
team and handle the competitors.
A membership OF about seventy 1--WE
has been enrolled and 1t Is expected
that the number will reach 200 inside
of month. The interest taken in the
formation OF the organization at the
start is enough to foreshadow a sue
cessful future
Corness should increase the lead
it already has in the game in
section A today. The Paperhang-
ers have a much better club than
Post Office and. unless the Mailmen
slip over a surprise. should win rather
easily. as they did In the first meeting
between the two clubs.
The games in the post-season series
this week will be called at o'clock
instead OF at SIS o'clock.
