And still another amateur baseball
league will be started this season, the
latest to take the field being the East
Washington Sunday School League,

residence Of c. C. Love, 10lS D street
northeast.
Mr.. Love is the manager Of the Ninth
Street Christian Church team. that had
the pennant practically won In the Sun
day School League last year, but owing
to squabble, refused to continue. Mr..
Love has the backing OF the Ninth Street
Church to the limit, and with the four
clubs that have already taken franchises,
it is almost a certainty that the new
league will be a huge success.
In in an interview last night, Manager
Love refused to state just what teams
had received franchises, prefering to
wait a few days as several other clubs
are expected TO apply for a vacancy.
Mr.. Love will receive applications from
two more clubs. and IL is urged that
these teams apply at once, as, the time
is limited in which to complete arrange
ments for the playing season.
Grounds have been secured in the
northeast section Of the city, and as soon
as the weather permits, the diamond will
be put in first-class condition. Indica-
tions point to this circuit being one of
the strongest in the District.
Fred Austin was yesterday elected cap
tain of the Technical High School base

chosen to lead the team last year, did
not return to school. Austin IL one of

Another manager who is enthusiastic
over the work OF Young Boehling Is W.
r. Love, OF the Sherwood tribe Mr..
Love is well qualified to judge a ball
players ability. and he thinks Boehling
has the goods.
Bob Doyle. the scout of the Savannah
club of the South Atlantic League, is
another who Is praising Boehling to the
skies. Doyle has picked nothing but live
ones for the Sally circuit club. and he
told McAleer about Salmon. whom Con-
ME Mack picked up. and young Allen,
whom Manager Griffith will have at the
training camp. Doyle Is rated as being
one of the best judges of ball player

II is practically assured that the
Bankers will enter the Columbia League.

Medicos, and two other fast aggrega-
tons this circuit promises to be as fast
as the next in the District, and the only
thing that Is stopping the Bankers from
taking a franchise Is the hesitation Of
the other clubs entioned.
As soorf as the Petworth and Silver
Spring teams receive their franchises
II Is almost a certainty that the Bank
ers will fall in line.
