Tried in Washington.

Reading, perhaps. Of the water base
ball to be tried in a New York natator-
ium. several youngsters got together
in the shallow water in the canal. near
Glen Echo yesterday to see just what
the game amounted to. All went well
with the water game until the swimmer
in center field misjudged a fly ball,
taking it full on the head. There was
dull thud and the young gentleman
went under. He was dragged out by his
comrades. There will be no game to-
day.

Boss Bill Hoover was in attendance at
the Amateur Association meeting last
night. when it was decided to hold the
Amateur Day. on July 26. Plans for
the general celebration will be slightly
changed from what at first was con-
sidered.
1t is still up to the members of the
teams as to whether they will turn out
for the celebration.
-Ianager Griffith, of the Nationals,
has donated $500 to be divided among
the winning teams. This money has
been divided into five parts, as follows:
First prize, 500: second prize $50; third
prize, $50; fourth prize, $40; and fifth
prize, $40. In awarding the prizes ap-
pearance will count 30 Per cent. march

ton. This form must be filled out and
forwarded to Secretary Harry Shurtleff.

There will be no parade from the
White Lot ellipse TO the baseball park.
as there was last year, the teams as
sembling at Sixth and Florida avenue
and marching TO the park will pass in
review somewhat as they did last year.
In giving five prizes instead of three
the teams will stand more of chance
TO get a look-in at the money, and there
is every indication that the amateurs
will turn out in numbers.
w. W. Watt, suspended for signing
two contracts. will be allowed TO play
amateur baseball again, his case being
taken up by the board of governors.
Watt has been held out of the game
for two weeks, having signed two con-
tracts. He pleaded ignorance at for
mer meeting, and his case came before
the board of governors.
Signing with the CongressionaIs, in
the Eastern League, and Twining, in
the Central circuit, has drawn a sus-

portunity to go before the board with
some sort of an alibi.

in the circuit Avondale will be played
by the newcomers this afternoon. The
circuit started the season with but four

Water Baseball Tried
In New York Playground

NEW YORK. June 1l-Water base
bill, the latest sport novelty, is being
tried out at a natatorium in an aniuse-
ment park here, with the idea Of Cr-
ganizing a local eight-club league. The
game includes many of the features of
regular baseball, with unique variations,
including diving for bases instead of
sliding. 1t is suggested that II the
major league players were all good
swimmers and adopted this plan the
wettest of grounds would be no excuse
for postponement Of a big game.
