CENTRAL LEAGUE
is ORGANIZED
Four Clubs Get Franchises in
Circuit IN. E. OCon-
nor as President.
MURPHY TO CHARLOTTE
Former Bankers Star Southpaw Now
with North Carolina
League Team.
By CHARLES w. SWAN.

Four clubs were granted franchises in
the Central League at a meeting of that
circuit yesterday morning at the Aloysius
Club. But one club of last year is now
a member of the organization, the Colum-
bia 101 outfit, three new teams being
admitted yesterday. Manager John STAN
ton will have his plucky Waverley tribe
in the running for the pennant, while the
Aloysius club, and Emerald A. c. will
also be represented by all teams.
The officers Were not elected, but it
can be said that Maurice Z. O'Connor,
long identified with amateur baseball.
will be the president of the organiza-
ton. Mr.. O'Connor needs no introduc-
ton to local baseball fans, his record
stands for itself, and with such a capable
official as the leader. nothing but sue
cess is in store for the Central League.
a meeting of the Central League has
been called for tomorrow night when
officers will be elected and the two re-
naming franchises awarded. Two teams
of last year, Sherwood and Y. NJ. H. A.
are expected to be represented at
the meeting tomorrow night, while
several other teams, among them the
Spartans and Carroll Institute, will make
application for membership. This meet
ing will be called to order promptly at
o'clock.
Southpaw Murphy. who pitched win
ming bali for the Bankers last year IN
the Capital City League, has been re-
leased by the Birmingham club Of the
Southern League to the Charlotte team
of the North Carolina League, and has
reported to the latter outfit. Murphy
made a good impression on the Southern
Leaguers, but was unable to show any
control to speak of, and as result. was
shipped to the Charlotte aggregation for
more experience.
Today's battle at American League
Park should be an interesting affair. The
Vigilants will make every effort to holo
the Nationals to a low score. and while
Manager Oliveri is not counting on a
victory he feels confident that his club
will put up a good game.
A meeting of those interested in form
ing a new league to play on the Petworth
diamond will be held tonight at the resi-
dence of ]. P. Stewart, 42l0 Eighth street
northwest. at o'clock. At least, seven
clubs will be represented, but Manager
Stewart, who piloted the Petworth team
to the championship of the Federal
League last season. would like to have
as many more represented.
Managers of clubs desiring to enter this
league are requested to be on hand at
O'Clock.
President Watson will hold a meeting
of the Potomac League tonight. At least,
one new club, the Eastern Athletic Club.
will make a bid for a franchise. Presi-
dent Robert II. Young and Secretary
Shurtleff, of the Amateur Association, will
also attend the meeting, in an effort to
have the Potomac League become MEM
Der Of the association.

bases more than ever this season
as a result of the style of attack
adopted by Manager Herzog who
had been with base-running club,
he Giants, for the last six years.
Cuban Catcher Stars.
The Nationals tried to work their way
around the sacks by the steal route, but
were man-handled by Miguel Gonzalez,
the Cuban catcher. who worked for the
Reds. Gonzalez owns an arm that looks
TO be the equal of any in the major
leagues, and he grabbed on three Ma
tionals who tried to pilfer, at times when
a steal would have counted.
Eddie Foster had bad day at third
and his work was costly, but it must be
said two OF the three chances were tough
ones. Twice the little third sacker had TO
stick his hands in front of Redleg spikes
to grab balls, and in each case he muffed.
His other error came on a foul fly. The
muR led to the scoring OF three runs.
Foster was in the games here on his
nerve. He has been suffering with a bad
leg. but made the exhibition trip to round
out a regular club and to get the benefit
of the work.
The day was none too warm for base
ball and Johnson did not cut loose all his
steam. He hoped the ball across at a
lively clip though. and used a puZzling
curve. He would have pulled through
with a shut-out in his five innings had it
not been for a bit of wildness in the fifth,
and even the wildness would not have
been costly without Fosters mum of a
foul.
