ehinists, pennant holders in the Po-
tomac League, will open the post
season series next Saturday at Po-
tomac League Park in the first Of
the Section A games. This battle
will serve three fold purpose. Both
teams are picked from Government
institutions, both are rated among
the three strongest teams in the city,
and both will fight for the initial
honor and the title of Southeast

to bring out a crowd to pack the
park.

son series will be finished tonight

mittee gets together. At present

Baltimore Is peeved that It cannot
get iran 'inter-city series with Wash
inSton and Richmond. At a meeting
OF the association here some time ago
it was decided that Baltimore would be
left out of consideration in view Of the
fact that the constitution under which
the ~mateur teams were operating al
loved too wide leewey for selection of
players to represent the city.
DIR. J. S. II. Potter, secretary of the
Amateur Commission Of Baltimore.
writes to the Amateur Association
secretary here as follows:
with considerable surprise I read
that Baltimore Is ineligible to play in
the intercity series this season. From
technical standpoint You may be
correct, as your series closes about tho
local leagues close about September
to l5. but. surely from sporting stand
point and considering the fact that
Washington and Richmond played an
seasons ago. we hope and trust that
We viii be given fair show at the
intcr-city series and not be thrown
down SO hard especially after all the
hard work that has been done the past
"iN months by the officers of our COM
mission, at least without further con-
sidcrins our claims to be privilege to
play.
j. u. McIalllSter the treasurer OF
our local body, mentioned the fact to
me that you urged upon him several
times to organize a Baltimore COM
mission II it consisted OF only two
leagues. and that you would gladly
play Baltimore when organized on this
basis. We have organized, adopted
your constitution and bylaws (except
Z few minor changes) and we are ready
TO play. and in addition we have two
more leagues that are becoming wor-
herllGp n 70
play local championship series, and
these leagues do not wish to be frozen
cut of this SERIES and these teams will
IL all probability join the commission I"
The Baltimore official asks to be al
lowed to send representative here to
confer with the A. A. Richmond has
also been made aware of the BaltI-
more request.
