The early part Of the year Munich re-
ceived short trial with the Savannah
club Of the South Atlantic League, but
as Bob Evans, the former star first
sscker of the Departmental League. re-
marked yesterday: "A catcher in that
league must play the outfield and hit as
well work behind the bat. That league
| is no place for youngster just breaking
in"
Evans saw Munich work out with the
Sally circuit club in the South last
spring, and was much impressed with his
work Bob does little scouting on the
side for a club in the South, and would
grab Munich in a minute for the Columbia

Pepco and Cornell hook up to-day in
| Section A. and a red-hot battle is booked.
Forest Thompson will do the hurting for
| the Paperhangers, with Noyes behind the
bat. while Buck Barton stated yesterday
that he would work for the Independence
Leaguers. Barton's hand is not healed
any too well. and TO work him to-day
may be a mistake. Ted Sullivan held the

work, Billy Belts and Shorty Hughes.
The game will be started promptly at .
o'clock.

will be on the boards. No game will be
played to-day, but Secretary Shurtleff,
of the commission, has called a meeting
of the board. and the games will be
scheduled. 1t is more than likely that
the Park-G. p. o. battle will be sched-
uled for tomorrow, for, should G. p. o.
win. the Southern-Park games will not
have to be played off.
From present Indications. the Battle
Axe club will again represent Richmond
