WINNERS CAN Be PICKED
IN MAJORITY OF LEAGUES
Good Races for Championship
in But Two or Three
Circuits.
BY n. G. BYRD.

In connection with the discussion In
these umns yesterday relative TO
proposed classification OF the various
amateur leagues BY the commission. IL
might be mentioned as an argument In
favor OF the adoption OF the idea that in
the great majority OF the circuits very
accurate guess could be given to the
obab pennant winners II may read
lily be understood that II is not TO the
advantage OF amateur base ball for II TO
be practically foregone conclusion to
the particular team which Is most liable
to win the championship.
The most evenly balanced circuit in the
city Is the Independence. and provided
Brady OF the Loefier club pitches the
kind OF bal ne has so far this season. IL
is safe to say that he will come near
landing that organization at the top OF
the heap. In the Sunday School Lea que
Sunday School lie que there Is every
there is every indication that Ingram W II
take the pennant. While the Churchmen
have not such a commanding lead at
present they are play ne more consistent
ball than any of the other clubs.
In the Marquette and Departmental
leagues two clubs have had mighty
easy time of IL so far. In the former
the Washington printers have been smoth-
ering everything. while In the latter Post
Office has yet to lose a game. while 1t has
won eleven.
The Cornell Company will win the pen
nant In the Capital City League. while
the American Security will come out In
front I'm the Columbia circuit, barring ac-
cidents. II they don't, then II will not
be because t"ey are not superior TO inc
o. her teams I'm the organization.
There Is little question that leagues IN
dividually would be greater money makers
than at present IL the races We're more
even and II would appear that the only
way to have them that runaway
will not be made Ia to arrange some such
classification as has been suggested.

TODAY'S GAME.
Anacostia VS.. Nativity.

Errors and poor base running lost In
gram the game yesterday. In the fourth
inning the Congregationalists made four
of their six errors, from which four runs
were scored. This is the second time
that these two teams have been tied up.
The last time 1t was to g.
Hutchinson made a star catch in the
ninth, which saved the game for his team
when, with man on second and one run
needed to win, Haas drove one out be-
tween center and left which looked good
for homer. Both Dougherty and Hutch
inson went after it, coming together on
the CATCH. but Hutchinson held on to the
ball. retiring the side.
Howard Smithson and Dougherty led in
the hitting, Smithson getting four and
Dougherty three safeties. For Ingram
Johnson, Berry and Collinsworth each got
two.
It certainly was a hard game to lose,
for Piozet surely deserved a victory
His good work all through the game
merited the applause OF every one present.

The New Books
The Sign nj Six.

From the prolific pen of that excel
lent storyteller. Stewart Edward
White, comes a new novel called The
Sign At Six" 1t may be taken for
granted tina! it is interesting. we'll
written and out of the ordinary, for
Mr.. White has demonstrated his abil-
ity too many times and has won too
large an audience to leave any doubts
about the merit of anything he may
choose to write A glance at the con-
tents proves that it is Mr.. White at
his best, and yet the book contains a
big surprise. for it discloses the au-
thor in a new vein, but one which
is altogether as charming as that in
which he wrote of the great outdoors.
the secrets of which he knows so
well. (Bobbs-Merrill Company. Indi-

The Woman.

You have. no doubt, read many nov
elized plays and then dismissed most
of them with shrug of the shoul-
ders which was not entirely compli-
mentary. 1t is no small task for an
author TO take play and turn it into
story. dressing the bare bones of
dramatic construction with the flow
ing drapery with which fiction read
ers are best acqainted. Occasion
ally. however. this is done and we
feel that the author who occomplishes
this feat is really deserving of more
credit than the one who builds a book
from the ground up.
The case We have in mind is "The
Woman" which has been made into a
rattling good novel by Albert Payson
Terhune, from the play of the same
name by William c. De Mile. Of
course, you remember the splendid
success this play enjoyed when pro-
duced by David Belasco. Mr.. Ter
hune's book bides fair to achieve the
same distinction. The author has lost
none OF the dramatic elements of the
original, but he has placed it in a lit
erary setting. His characters are
finely drawn and the interest which is
aroused with the unusual first chap
ter is sustained throughout the story.

is telling, and keeps his characters
on the stage all the time. Unlike the
reporter, however, he does not tell his
story entirely in the first paragraph.
He has learned the value of suspend
ed interest. and he gives his readers
but little chance to solve the riddle
he presents until he is ready to solve
it in his own way. The result is a
story that snaps in every sentence.
There is no tagging, no tiresome
waits between scenes, no entr'acte
music. 1t is story all the time, and
the kind of story that even the most
Indifferent reader will not want to
lay aside until it is finished.
Last year Mr.. Adams introduced a
new style of detective to fiction read
ers in the person of Average Jones.
This year Chester Kent. the principal
figure of THE Secret of Lonesome
Cove" holds the center of the stage.
The two men are alike in one partic-
ular-shrewdness-b in method of
procedure they are as different as day
is from night. Kent is called upon
to solve but one mystery, but it is so
overwhelmingly big and SO absorbing
in its interest that even this young
man. with all his acuteness, is COM
PEELED to devote several months to the
case before he Sits things to the bot
tom and straightens out a tangle
which has seemed almost unsolvable.

Preliminary Practice Will Consist Of
CrOSS.COuHtry Running.

The University basketball squad

1t is the plan of o. F. Field, who will
have charge of the team, to have the
men take cross-country runs for sew

practice to improve their wind and
get them in good physical condition.
The basketball team this year has
been weakened by Snodgrass's fail
ure to return TO school, The big CEN

men who will be out include Taaffe,
Craig, Bernet. Groves, Shepard, Pal

Norman Mueller, who was killed
while diving at st. Joseph, No., this
was expected to be a valu-
able man this year.
