With the amateur baseball season but
three weeks under way several of the
teams in the various circuits have
SHOWN exceptional strength and are al
ready being slated for leadership honors
In but few of the circuits under the
amateur commission are the races close,
one or two teams having shown at the
outset that their strength Is above par
In the Capital City. League, Cornell
Company seems to have an edge On the
other four teams, while the Bankers
look to be the best In the Columbia
League. Postoffice, last years cham
pion of the Departmental organization,
appears due for another cleanup while
many are picking Manhattan for a repe-
ution in the Independence League
hedicos and the Printers seem to be
somewhat better than the other teams
In the Marquette League, while Ingram
IN the Sunday School circuit, is show
ing good form in its games. Ninth is
6y far the best of the East Washington
SUNDAY School Leaguers on games
played so far this year.
Strengthen Teams.
Many teams will no doubt be strength
ened after The schools and colleges have
begun the summer vacation, for the
players now on these teams are ex-
pected to join the amateur ranks. The
fact that several of the former amateurs
who have been getting trials in the
minors are due to return and have been
coming back during the past week will
also add to the strength of the teams
now fighting 1t out.
But eleven days remain before the
minor league players can affiliate with
the amateurs. After June l none of the
men now under the national agreement
will be allowed to join the amateur
ranks and managers are getting all in
line that can be obtained.
Today the amateurs commence the
fourth week Of the season. Pumping
Station will play the Inflated Gunners,
ners have failed signally to show class
with any of the other teams to date.
The AgRies and G. p. o. will hook up
on the White Lot in the Departmental
and First NJ. Z. are to play in the East
Washington Sunday School League.
Expect Good Games.
What is expected to be a rafting good
game is that scheduled between Loffler
and Southland. in tho Independence
The Printers and st. Stephens are
booked for a game in the Marquette
while Herald. which has showed i'm
proved form in the past week, is to play
Park Adams and Southern are carded
for the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. League
while Nativity and North Carolina will
fight II out in the Sunday School cir
cult.
Loffler and Southland played an ex,
hibition game which resulted In tC
s victory for Loffler. On account of the
recent rains the teams have not beer
able to play their scheduled games and
yesterdays game was entirely for pTac'
tice purposes.

In the wake of the Cobb controversy has come a
far-reachng cry for cleaning up baseball.
The time has when ball players are due pro-
lection from the sweep of profanity and jeerng which
greets them from almost every in the country
from the abuse and cowardly cursng hurled
the field But that isn't all of it. The time has also
come to protect the overwhelming majority Of fair,
clean fans in the stands who forced listen this
language, else up and leave the
park. And the protection for this latter class must
come in two waysnot only from the minority muckers
Of the stand-but also from the minority muckers of
the ball field who rank pastmasters in the of
profane abuse

Great HitterS Not
The Best in Pinch

Sandow Mertes, the ex-Giant. now
umpiring in the Pacific Coast League,
has been telling the California fans
that Tommy Leach, Of the Pirates. was
a more dangerous batter in a pinch
than Hans Wagner and other sluggers.
"A steady batter" said Mertes, 'is
more apt to hit in a pinch than a star
hitter. This may sound funny, but from
my observation l cannot help but think
this way. The heavy hitters seldom
come through in a pinch. OF course.
there are exceptions, but as a general
rule you will find this to be the case.
when we used to play Pittsburgh
the men breathed easier. Tommy Leach
was the man we feared. Tommy did
not compare with Wagner as a hitter,
yet in a pinch he was more valuable.
Tommy had that faculty OF getting Ms
hits when they were most needed, and
he broke up game after game"
The Washington times., 1912-05-20
The System.

The system Of cleaning up the game is simple
enough. Club owners should have special officers dis
tributed throughout the hear complaints and
to upon their knowledge
When a rowdy breaks out he should be Immediately
thrown out of the park. If the special officer doesn't
spot him he should be Immediately reported by those
around him. This work could be easily carried with
two three officers placed to guard each section of the
field.
II each offender in this respect Immediately
thrown out into the street. 1t would only be a week
two before the game would be we'll cleared of this ruff
fanism which has set 1t back far and which has
brought OF the greatest scandals out of the trail
of sport.

Crawford's Average
Shows His Real Form

Sam Crawford has a record which a
good many big leaguers can look at with
envy. 1t is not the greatest record as
batsman ever made, by any means.
but it Is one anybody can be proud of.
During the fifteen years Sam has played
professional ball he has hit over the 800
mark 10 times. His highest average is
the one he made last year, .37S and his
grand average for his career is .315.
Sam played his first professional base
ball with Chatham, Ontario, in 1898. He
hit $40 that year, and has been slugging
the ball ever since. Here is his com
plete record:

Cleaning the Game.

Only game with the mighty grip baseball has upon
the American public would have continued flourish
against this element of unalloyed muckerism The de-
cent majority have been forced sit powerless against
the whir of vile and profanity from the stands
and frequently from the field But their day of bond
age In this respect is From this time club
owners and league officials will either stamp this
growing evil, the games grip upon the country as
mighty 1t has been will be broken and the national
sport drift back into decay.

AL Williams Wants
More Action-Does
Not Like the Bench

AL Williams, the big backstop of
the Nationals, is becoming nervous
at his lengthy rest on the bench.
He wants action. He wants to be
in there, winging the pill around
the corners, outguessiug the OPP
posing sluggers, taking a whack
at the best curves of the enemy's
twirlers. Notice how he always
is first to run to the plate to
warm up the pitchers between
innings? That's it, Al is a=nous
for a chance to prove his class.

Frank Schultz Breaks
Fifty Bats a Season

According to the Cubs, Frank Schultz
breaks an average of fifty clubs per

are produced. The club is of second
