leagues who have hardly received the
credit due them for their consistently
brilliant work-Nolan and Bishon. The
former has been hurting great ball for
the Auditors in the Railroad Y. M c. A.
circuit, and the latter has shown himself
to be about the most capable man In the
Departmental organization. Nolan has
also pitched effectively for Aloysius in the
Holy Name League and Bishon has
proved the mainstay in the box OF the
Commerce nine in the Government circuit.
1t seems that the performances of these
two players have not attracted the notice
they have really deserved. Both men have
pitched brilliantly in nearly every contest
in which they have taken part Not only
do they hold opposing clubs to minimum
of hits. but they strike out an average
probably has an average Of more than
twelve strike-outs for every contest in
which he has taken part this season,
while Bishoff probably has record near
ly. if not quite, as good. Bishof is
big fellow with more stuff than the
ordinary pitcher. His one drawback
seems to be a tendency to be wild at
times, though there have been mighty
few instances of a lack Of effectiveness
Nolan is Of a short, stocky build, and
Bishoff, he possesses sufficient to enable
him to fool the batsmen with great regu-
larity.
There is not an amateur nine in the
city of the strength of some of those
that used to be in the forefront Of sand
lot base ball. One or two clubs have
shown more than the average strength
in their games, but not one has proved
itself powerful enough to warrant a
prediction that it will stand a better
show than any other in the final series
for the city championship. Inciden-
tally, there Is not a club in the city
which looks strong enough to make the
followers of amateur ball feel fairly
sure it will win the intercity series in
the game with Richmond, when the two
meet the latter part of August. The
Machinists, in the Potomac circuit, seem
now to be about as strong a combina.
tion as any other. yet that team Is
made up considerably of former Ninth
Street Christian Church players, cham
how that nine failed In the games with
Richmond.
The question is, Is Washington going
to produce a championship nine this
season capable of wrestling from Rich
mond the laurels it won a year ago:
Right now it looks. to say the least
doubtful. and it behooves some ANA
teur manager to get busy and strength
his team, so that it will be, at least, at
powerful as that which represented

represented by about the same calibel
clubs each year. while the standard OF
the championship aggregations here
fell considerably last summer.
1t is to be hoped that the champion
ship nine Of this season, whatever club
basis which will guarantee local fol.
lowers an even chance for victory.
At a meeting of the Athletic Asso-
=
College yesterday officers for next year
were elected and assistant managers
Of the teams chosen. The following

letic board.
ISOLATION has been effected and several
changes made in the rules governing
sports. The Alumni Association has
been given representation on the ath-
letic board and its members admitted
to membership III the General Athletic
Association.
The association has been incorporated
under the laws of Maryland and will
be governed by differently constituted
body than formerly. This athletic board
will be composed of two members of
the student body. two members of the
faculty, two members of the Alumni
Association and the athletic director.

Grason of Towson, Nd, being chosen.
incidentally, in the reorganization of
the Athletic Association the four-year
rule was adopted.
Managers and captains Of the college
foot ball teams are getting busy tax
ing a prospectus of their possibilities
in foot ball for next fall. Each Of the
around here has the hard
est schedule in its history. each ono
being booked to play difficult contests
ticularly. will meet a lot of powerful
eleven. a list of games more dimcult
than any other southern institution has
faced in quite awhile being booked.
Catholic University will go against a
lot OF strong teams, being in for the
most difficult list 1t has ever had by
far. Gallaudet and NJ. A. C. also have
long. hard schedules, though neither
will face clubs as powerful as some of
those to be met by Georgetown and
Catholic University, unless it be that
the North Carolina A and M. eleven
will prove SO against Gallaudet. M, A.
