registration committee OF the A. A. u.
Chairman John T. Meany, of the local
branch of the committee. announced last
night that all the men who take part in
the games and who are under the A A.
U. will be dealt with in accordance with
the rules, and that, as fair warning has
been given all. a years suspension will
more than likely fall to the lot OF the
athletes who break the rules.
1t will be recalled that last spring
twenty or more local runners, for taking
part in the National Guard meet were
suspended. Several OF these men are
still outside of the fold, among them
being Johnny Stecker and Johnny Ma
honey. of the Washington A. A These
boys will most likely appear in the mu-
nicipal games.
Just why the committee in charge of
the games did not sanction the meet
is not known. The federation has not
sanctioned it, or rather, It has never
been announced, so the meet will have
to be handled as an open one.
One of the best amateur games of the
season is booked for today at Thirteenth
and D Streets Northeast, when the Ninth
Street Christians battle the First NJ. P.
club. Manager Butt, OF the First outfit,
will send Buck Becker to the mound,

promptly at $50 o'clock.
The game Sunday at Union League
Park between the u. P. o. club and the
Virginians should be hummer. The
Virginians will have the stars of the
Ninth team in the lineup, with Big Ben
Bryant in the box. Finney Kelly will
more than likely serve them over for
the G. P. o. crowd. The game will start
promptly at o'clock, with Capt. Jen-
kins umpiring.

leagues will get started today with flying
colors, weather permitting.
The Federal League will start on its
second series today, with Fairmont meet
Ing the Petworth club. The election Of
Bob Jones to the presidency Of the
league assures the fans of the suburban
circuit of at least seeing games every
day, as Bob will help the managers get
players and assist them in every way
possible.

Eddie Thompson will more than likely
pitch for the Fairmonts, while Bernie
Gallagher is slated to hurl for Petworth.
The game will start at $50 o'clock.

the Virginia State League, has been
signed by Manager Cornell, of the Cor
