AMATEUR CIRCUITS
SHIFT DIAMONDS ON
WHITE LOT ELL|PSE
Course Is Adopted in Order
That There May Be No Ad-
vantage Given.

Amateur baseball fans in the
habit of strolling down to the White
Lot Ellipse to inspect their favorites
may have difficulty in locating them
as the various leagues will be
shifted following the policy inaug-
urated last summer. Each league is
entitled to the use of a diamond for
a month and in order that there
may be no advantage the various
circuits are shifted.
The Government League, formerly
at the east diamond will be shifted
to the south diamond, and the other
leagues will move up one. 1t is ex-
planned that the teams in this way
will all be forced to take the sun
at various angles and that it will
give no circuit an advantage.
The weather may decide to hold
long inning contest today. and in this
event all battles will be called off.
Amateur players have no kick coming
as the weather dispenser has been un-
usually kind to the players this season.
There have been few postponements,
and schedules are SO arranged that the
called games will be taken care Of
Two leagues will begin the second
series of games shortly. June the
Government League starts on it's home
journey and the Departmental will inau-
gurate second series shortly.

President Young's statement that
nothlngSwould be done, to the so call
ed outlaw leagues seems to be a nice
way Of saying that If the league play
ers are let alone and allowed to play
their league battles the teams could
act in perfect harmony. The moment
the outlaws begin to draw on the
leagues there will be trouble.
At present many league players are
filling In on independent league teams,
playing when their regular teams are
Idle. In this way the players get ac-
ton almost every day.
