In the opening game, Business occu

raphers were the favorites TO win by al
least five runs and the Eastern team
handed them a good beating.
Tech used the home teams bench IN
the second game. and lost TO western

the Manual Trainers came back Tor an

of the Stenographers. who wisely grabbed
the visiting teams bunk. This game
gave Business standing or 500 IN the

the Streeters will hustle for the other
dugout, leaving the Nationals bench for
Western.
Central will present a much stronger
team than the one which was beaten by
Eastern. Taggert will do the hurting.
and it will be interesting to note what

may change his mind at the last minute
and send Adams to the mound. Leh-
man will do the backstopping.
The game scheduled for this afternoon
between Business High School and CAL
laudet has been Cancelled. owing to the
presentation exercises to be held at Ken
dali Green.
Saturday the Buff and Blue outfit will
line up against the strong Baltimore City
College crew, and a battle royal is prom
ised. This game is scheduled to start
promptly at o'clock.
The feat of Mac Brown, who pitched
a no-hit game yesterday for Petworth
against the Takoma club, is worthy of
mention. This is the first amateur no.
hit game of the season, and the young
ster had the Takoma boys at his mercy
throughout the contest.
Stands will shortly be built by the
Federal League to take care of the large
crowds attending the games daily. This
league is rapidly gaining in popularity
and should be one of the best circuits
in the city before long.
A meeting of the amateur commission
will be held tonight at Spaldng's, in
Fourteenth Street, when two new
leagues are slated to be admitted into
the organization. The Southeastern As
ISOLATION and the Northwest Sunday
School League will be represented and
will sign the agreement at once. No OPP
position will be made.
The meeting will be called to order
at S o'clock and President Rob-
ert NJ. Young requests a full attendance.
