RICHMOND TO HAVE
! BEST SENT UP HERE
Secretary Hooper Says His
Team Is Finest Ever Repre-
senting City in a Series.
WANTS MEETING ON TUESDAY
First of Series Between Bank
ers and Ninth to Be Played
at Park Today.
By BRYAN MORSE.

John r. Hooper, secretary OF the
Richmond amateur commission, writes
that the Richmond Grays, practically
decided upon as the winners of the city
series there, is the best aggregation that
ever represented the city in the intercity
series.
The Richmond secretary says that his
team is conceded the pennant, and that
at a meeting Of the Richmond commits
sion last night all business incident to
the meeting between the Washington
winner and the Richmond winner was
ready to be taken up.
Secretary Hooper cordially invited the
members of the amateur association Of
this city to dinner at RichInnod on
Tuesday. at which time the intercity
series will be talked over.
1t is probable that neither President
Young, of the amateur association, TCr
Secretary ShurtIeff will be able to take
the trip to Richmond on Tuesday. and
Treasurer Charles King Will ask the
Richmond authorities if the meeting can
be postponed to Wednesday. at which
time ali details of the meeting between
the Washington winner and the Rich
mond Grays will be gone over.
II believe" writes Secretary Hooper,
that the Richmond Grays Will have the
best team that ever represented TINS
Citv in a series with Washington This
should spur the winner OF the Washing
ton title to hard work. and should put
the teams on their mettle for today'S
battle.
Chris Fienle. who almost single-hand-
ed won the title in the Capital City
League. will be sent into the box today
against the Ninth team as the George
having arrived from Buffalo, where he
went at the close Of the Capital City
League season.
Fienle is dependable a. all times, and
while he has been out of the games
here for more than three weeks, it is by
no means uncertain that he will be able
to stop the Ninth team.
The first clash in the finals for the
city championship today will probably
find FIenle. the star GeOrEctO%n
pitcher. taking up the running for the
Bankers against Ben Bryant, of the
Ninth team.
Both clubs are primed for the con-
test. and expect a record breaking
crowd for the first of the series. Reaiiz-
ing that two out of the three contests
are to count for the title. both teams
want the jump game today.
The Rankers are far from sure that
they will win toQ&y, as Country Nor
ris, ore of the clubs best hitteTs. prob
ably will be out of the lineup.
Ninth will have all of the best players
q the Job, and while no predictions are
made, me fact that the Bankers are
made favorites is going TO spur the
Christians 10 action from the very start
OF the contest.
Save for the !ntercity series and the
:-ames piayed in the finals. amateur
baseball in the association ranks IS
practically done. Several teams are
scheduled for Independent games, Will"
the Potomac League will ruE on for

Calvo comes back.

Jacinto del Calvo returns from Billy
Smiths Atlanta team with a broken
arm. and the chances are that the youth
has finished a rather brief baseball ca
reer. Few players are able to return to
the game with a bad whip, and as it is
his throwing arm he is likely to be out
of it. Calvo looked particularly good
for youngster. and with such little ex-
perience showed unusually we'll. He
might have developed into a great
player, as he is extremely young.
The Washington times., 1913-08-25
Finals start today.

Bankers, with Chris Fienle in the box
are likely to prove a bit too much for
the Ninth team today. The Capital
City League title winners have been
travelling along at lively clip. and save
for a loss to the Interior team have
maintained a good record. Ninth comes
clean with record not surpassed even
by the Bankers. The three games, or
two as the case may be, should be
well worth journeying out to the Flor
ida Avenue Park to see.

Boost George Mcbride.

George Mcbride has been one Of the
most faithful OF players. He Is great
shortstop, and the contribution started
by Boss Booster Bill Hoover should he
literally patronized by the fans. The
movement started is worthy one, and
Boss Hoover expects 10 collect a goodly
sum for the Nationals captain, who is
certainly deserving OF recognition and
hearty and liberal support.

DIAMOND DOPE

aside from increasing their pcHna-t
chances, major league club owners are
not sorry 10 see the Giants and Ath-
Ietics sIumping d little just Row. 1t
adds interest to the races, and means
increased gate receipts.
That's a pretty good yarn: the
QuakeEs buying Josh DeVOre to get in
side tips on the Giants. If it would
work, think of what the Reds should be
able to do TO the Cubs
Connie Mack made a practice of being
prepared for anything that might turn
up. In close games. where there Is d

The ranking three.

Justifying the ranking committee of
the National Lawn Tennis Association,
Mclaughlin, Williams. and johnson
stand ready for the semi-finals at New
port today. Could any other combina-
ton of players have born out to ex-
actly the opinion OF the ranking COM
mittee? These three were picked to lift
the Davis Cup, which they did. The
committee. however. should be cOngratu-
lated as the present tournament, the
largest Of the year, backs up their opin-
ions.

By all odds possessing the best record

two special marks of eleven straight
and fourteen straight, with fine show
of bettering the latter. Walter had little

to the report that he was all in with
a sore arm. Scott pitched well, but was
