1t is very probable that a strong clut
will take the place of Southland in the
Capital City League. According to pres
ent plans, the team will be known as the
An-Stars. and will be recruited from
several other organizations. 1t will have
some players who were with Southland
if they can be secured, and two or three
men who have not appeared on the field
this season.
While, of course. the nine is being re-
cruited rather hurriedly, and it is hard
to tell just what the lineup will be,
Manager Holden has fairly definite idea
as to what he will be able to do. 1t is in
tended to have "Cy'' Mcdonald play first
base, with Pete Gait at short, if he can
find the time. Dolly" Gray, who used to
pitch for Technical High School and
Georgetown, will be one of the fingers.
and another will be secured. Van Dyne,
who was with the Bankers early in the
season, will be in the outfield, while
"Shag" Rawlings and Dolph Rawlings
will also play. 1t has been reported that
Fitzgerald, who has been with the Bank
ers. will do the catching. but that will
probably be left UP to the youngster him.
self.
With the mentioned men as nucleus
Manager Holden will probably get to-
gether a club that will give the other
mines in the circuit harder time to win
games than they are looking for Gray
and Rawlings have done some exception
ally good work in the past as pitchers.
and, if they work in anything like pre-
vious form, they are liable TO prove de-
cided obstacles in more contests than
one. If two or three members of the
Southland club can be secured. the team
will be much more capable than would
at first be supposed.
This lad Stanton, who pitched against
the Bankers yesterday in the Capital
City League game, is d mighty clever
youngster. Although hardly big enough
for a pitcher he seems to have good
fast ball and curve above the ordinary.
He not only kept the Bankers from hit
ting during the early part of the contest.
but also caused several Of the best hitters
on the club to fan the air in their en-
deavors to connect with his offerings. Ii
Stanton weighed about $50 pounds and
could pitch as well in comparison there
would be few who would be able to do
better work; he weighs about 115 now.
The American Security and Trust
and Cornell teams will meet this after
noon in the Capital City League. The
game will likely be attended by the
largest crowd that has watched an
amateur ball game this year. There has
been much interest manifested in the out
come of the race between the two clubs.
and the margin is very little between
them.
Just who will do the pitching for the
two clubs is hard to say. Cornell will
work either Forest Thompson or Ted Sui
liyan. Thompson has not worked in a
week, and should DC in good shape. 1t
may be- though, that Sullivan will lie
sent right back today. since ne got away
so well Tuesday Fienle or Hoecker will
do the hurting for the Bank team. 1t is
very probable that the former will start,
although Hoifecker may be sent in. When
