WAS TALKED OF LAST YEAR
BY BRYAN MORSE.


The Amateur Association Of Baseball
Leagues of the District may make over
lures this year to the Cleveland Anna
teur Baseball Association to play ar
intercity series of games, either here OF
in the Sixth City, II the plans Of certain
Of the amateur baseball fans Of Wash
ington carry.
According to information received to-
day, plans are under way to make ad-
vances to the Cleveland authorities. II
there iS any way Of arranging the Sc
ries, 1t is likely to be undertaken. Moth
ing definite has been done in the matter
as yet, but President Young, Of the
Amateur Association, may be approach
ed with the plan in the next few days.
Last year it was expected that a team
from the Cleveland Amateur Baseball
Association would come to Washington
TO play the winner Of the post-season
series here. A fan in Cleveland offered
TO pay the expenses Of the Cleveland
team while here or would pay the ex-
pense OF the local team while in Cleve-
land.
Manager Griffith offered the park to
the amateurs to play their series last
season, but the Washington baseball
men frowned on the project Cleveland
Is maintaining that II has the best or
ganization in the country for the ANA
teurs, and Washington is expected to
show the Clevelanders that the anna
teurs here have not only a better or
ganization, but have better teams.
IT is maintained that the C. A B. A.
has made it possible by controlling the
sport in the Forest City 10 determine
the winner of the city championship
The teams there are evenly matched,
and the fnal series for the Cleveland
TUE makes the winner champion OF
the city, just as it does here.
One or two OF the fans here think the
idea of tackling something stronger
than the Richmond team in the inter-
CITY series a good idea. In no way was
the Battle Axe team. Of Richmond, able
to cope with Pepco last year, and this
season ii is expected that the winner
of the Washington post-season series
win again prove too strong for Rich
mond
Cleveland might prove a better oppo-
nent, and it is expected that steps will
be taken and the matter laid before the
Amateur Association president to see II
the plans to take in Cleveland are feasi-
BILE.
