Sunday Ball May Bring
Federals Into Capital

NEW YORK. May IS. - President
James A. Gilmore declines to say just
what his league means to do regarding
the possible invasion of Washington,
though he insists that the Capital is
not a good baseball city. He was
asked IL the legality of Sunday base
ball in Washington would change his
attitude any.
Il have absolutely nothing to say on
that score" he answered. 'T told you
change is made It will De. of course,
with :5e consent of all the club presi-
dents. That is necessary in our con-
stitution. I never have regarded Wash
ington as a good baseball city. 1t
might be all right with Sunday ball"

AMATEUR
NOTES
Two tied games In amateurs.

Two tied games In amateurs
Reformation and St Agnes locked
at five runs.
And then Wizards and Immaculate
came along with 2-to-2 argument.
All of which proves that there is oc-
casionally close game among those
youngsters.
But that statement sounds paradox
cal when we glance at that H-to-e score
bv which st. Martins won from st.
Stephens.
st. Martins players were hitting
their best and Pitcher Albaugh had one
Of his fastest days on the hill.
This combination of alright twiri-
ing and frequent hitting 10 one hard to
beat whether they are amateurs or pro-
fessionals.
bargain day performance, two games
being staged for their elation. Eastern
won from OXon Hill by to . and Fair
lawn took the measure of Steel Plant
by 10 to s.
Buck Becker was in his old roll of
pitcher extraordinary" and kept his
opponents, Oxon Hill, to five scattered
bingies. Eastern hit but four. times,
but they were placed better.
Steel Plants downfall was largely due
to the poor condition of Chief Green's
arm. He let himself be "snagged'' for
just sixteen safeties. and Fairlawn's
heavy scoring was the result.
Shops doubled the score on Station in
the Railway Y. NJ. C. A circuit when
Bell kept the hits down to four. Score

The Pirates are now games ahead of
the Giants.
Hank shanks showed the busher.
Burns, something yesterday.
Old Fox Griffith was delighted at the

Herb Pennock famed twelve Brownies
yesterday and kept the Mackmen behind
the Griffmcn.
Rube Oldring had field day yester-
day. with a single. double, and homer in
three times UP.
Sir Robert Gro pm might be of consid-
cradle assistance to the Griffmen II he
is in any kind of shape.
Willie Mitchell stopped the Red SoN
yesterday, only three bingles being
gathered of his stuff. He was right"
Jim Scott caught Ped TruesdaIe. the
Yankee second baseman, mapping twice
yesterday. Scott was in great form.
The Jungeleers look like a bunch of
binglers. but they were up against n
wonderfully varied attack yesterday
and didn't have n chance.
Jack Bentley delivered the goods in
the two innings nc worked AGAINST the
Tigers and will soon be given an on

Federal Chiefs Plan
Attack on Big Leagues

NEW YORK. May 2-Federal League
base ball teams need headliners--a Ty
Cobb or two. or few Walter Johnsons
this was the conclusion reached at
meeting Of Federal chiefs here. and the
Federals are casting about today for
means of landing n few players whose
names are baseball trademarks.
A more vigorous attack on the two
MA ior leagues should be made, accord
ing TO the belief Of several of the Fed
eral magnatcs. The league is doing
very we'll. the conference decided. but
IL needs big stars. The methods to be
used by the Federals were not decided
or announced. There is an inclination
to await TIE decision in the suit brought
by August Hermann against Pitcher
Chief johnson. The ten-day notice of
release clause is the issue involved. and
1t is through this clause that the Fed
erals hope TO attack the American and
National Leagues.

At Litchfield. Conn, William

important educational research work
in which he was engaged when at
Jrga, Mongolia IN February last
President Yuan SMh-kai of China
invited him to become foreign ad-
wiser at large to the new republic.

i'm undertaking this mission he be
