OTHER AMATEUR GOSSIP
Games Today at Vigilant Park Sure
to Be Hard Fought-Aggies
vs.. Interior. .
By c. w. SWAN.

G. p. o. has been officially dropped
by the board of managers of the Gen.
tral League. This action was taken al
a meeting of the board at the Central
League Park last night.
The G. P. o. team has failed to put
in appearance for the last three
scheduled games, and as a result Presi-
dent Cornelius decided to have the team
dropped from the league The circuit
will continue as five-club league, and
weather permitting, will terminate its
season August e. with the Printers meet
ing Twining.
Printers and Sherwood have the best
chance to win the pennant in the second
series, with chances favoring the Sher-
wood aggregation winning out. Should
Billy Loves tribe win the second series,
the play-off will not be necessary.
Just what effect the dropping of the
G. P O. team will have on the benefit
game for Frank Goebel. to be played
August 8, is hard 10 say. The Ninth
club of the East Washington S. S.
League will surely play, while now the
Olympia Athletic Club. three times indie
pendent champions. may be gotten to-
gether to take the place of the defunct
q. I. o. OUTFIT President Cornelius will
get team together. If necessary. from
the other five clubs of the Central
League.
One thing is assured, the benefit game
for Frank Goebel will be staged at Cen
tral League Park August 9.
The games today at vigiIant Park are
sure TO be fast and exciting. The Mary
land Meters are one of the best-known
aEgregations playing semi-pro ball in the
East. and are sure to give the Vigilants
a tough battle.
Chick Gandil. the Nationals first base
man. will umpire. The fact that Gandil
will handle the indicator is sure to bring
out big crowd, as Gandil has said
that he would like chance to see IL the
Cmpire's job is as hard as a ball players.
The games today will be fast, and Gandil
Will have a good chance TO find out the
lot of an umpire.

tire Washington club. has been invited
