Amateur baseball will get of to a good
start tomorrow. practically every league
in the District starting play. The Fed
eral, Central, Capital City. r. r. Y. Nj
{. A.. and Treasury Leagues are al
circuits will get away this week
Amateur baseball is in for a rather
poor season. according to the showing
made by the different clubs 20 date.
The class OF ball is sure to be a great
deal slower than in the past, while the
clubs will not be as evenly matched as
last season.
Only one real fast league Will be able
to stage good ball games. The Capita
City circuit with the Bankers, Cornell
and Southland fighting for the pennant
should be able TO PITT up a good brand
of ball, but the other leagues will only
be fair.
The Central circuit has several good
teams, and as a whole the league is
evenly balanced, but the class OF the
players will not total up with the Capt.
tai City League stars. The winner OF
the pennant in the Capital City League
will just about walk away with the
District championship next fall.
The Departmental League will be the
next fastest TO the Capital City. but
the showing made by the Postofice team
last fall shows that the brand of ball
played on the White Lot does not COM
pare with the Capital City League stuff
Starting Monday. May 10, two new
leagues will get under way, the North
west Sunday School and the South
eastern Association being scheduled 10
open up on this date. The Northwest
Sunday School League will hold sway at
Georgia Avenue and Kenyon Street
Northwest. while the Southeastern
League will stage its games at Seven
teenth and D Streets Southeast.
The Southeastern Association will more
than likely start Monday, May 10, as a
four-club circuit. A meeting OF the
league will be held tonight at the resi-
dence Of President Weber and it is
expected that final arrangements for tn
season will be completed. The Lincoln
A. C. was admitted into the league last
night.
