Amateur baseball has come into its own.
Next week the sandlotters will be seen
on the different diamonds, battling Tor
top honors. and the Amateur Association
will again be in charge of the sand-lot
game.
Nine leagues-Namely: the Capital City,
Departmental, East Washington Sunday
School, Federal. Central, Marquette, r.

Northwest Sunday School League, will
comprise the association.
Amateur baseball should have BAN
ner year. But are there enough good
ball players to fill out the different
leagues?
This question has been asked time and
again, and always some one says yes,
but the caliber of amateur ball has been
steadily growing poorer, with the result
that fewer of our sand-lotters are going
TO the minor leagues. II is true, that
two Washington boys are now with the
Nationals, but one was carried for an
entire season before he did anything Won
derful, while the other is still an expert
ment.
Why not classify the leagues?
This has been done in other cities,
and is now in vogue in Richmond. The
leagues are divided into classes, and
then drafts are allowed. This stimulates
interest, and gives the younger element
something to work for.
While nothing definite has been done
in regard to the classification of leagues,
il Is understood that a move in this di-
rection will be made during the season.
This will be acceptable to the majority
