RAILROAD LEAGUE TO
CONTINUE SEASON

The rumor in amateur circles that
the Terminal Railroad Y. NJ. c. A.
League had blown for the season was
last night denied by Secretary VIM
slow. Although the Railroaders have
not played a game during the past
eight days, the league Is not through
for the season. The Southern Auditors,
who copped the pennant in the first
half of the season, have been having
trouble in getting their crack nine
on the field. as the pressure of work
at the office has made it impossible
for them to muster a club.
Four games were played in the
second series. but the Auditors have
not played in any of these contests.
1'he postponing of the Auditors games
will call for a rearrangement of the
scheduled. Secretary Winslow of the
Y. M. C. A. stated last night that
a meeting will be called within the
next few days when the schedule
will be rearranged and that play will
no doubt be resumed either Satur-
day or early next week.
The Terminal League, up until the
time of the postponement of the
Auditors games was enjoying one OF
the best seasons of its career. as the
race during the first half was very
close and drew large crowds to the
Union Station Park.

After the World War

series between the champion teams
Of England. France, United States,
Japan and possibly South America
strike you? why not?" asks Gala
han, who rounded this little old globe
four years ago with the All-Americans
and All-Nationals, and now interested
in baseball behind the trenches in
France.
"It will not surprise me II England
and France take up baseball after the
war" said Jimmy. Those people like
baseball the only trouble is they have
never the opportunity OF enjoying Il as
we have, the game has never been al
lowed TO develop there. Il like TO think
Of that trip we took four years ago
a. a missionary trip. We played TO
vast crowds and they liked the game.
They cheered every time a hit was
made, even IL II was only a foul. But
the real missionary work is going on
behind the trenches now, where
Americans and Canadians are play
ing baseball for the edificauon and
delight OF the Tommies and poilus az

Solder Team Will Contest with Pick
of Navy or Best Amateur Outfit.

Canteen Sergt' "Crutter" johnson.
who is manager OF the Fort Hunt
post team, Is anxious to have his
crack ball tossers do a little more for
Unclc Sammy than Just wear his
khaki cloth. Johnson desires to pit
his club against any team that can
be mustered together from any of
the navy stations in this vicinity. for
the benefit of the American Red
Cross.
The post team of Fort Hunt is one
Of the best amateur outfits ever gath
cred together in this vicinity, and
ranks well up among the topnotchers
in the service. Although johnson
would rather have his club meet
some navy outfit. in this game, he
Is willing to play an all-star nine
picked from the various independent
and amateur clubs of the District
James Wright, manager of the Rex
Athletic Club. is at present working
on this end for the Red Cross game,
In case Johnson does not meet with
any success in playing a navy team,
he will send his tribe against
Wright's all stars. which are to be
picked by the local newspapers.
The Fort Hunt team has been 20
ing at a great clip this season as they
have already turned in eighteen VIC
tories. The Coast Artillery Club
now stationed at Hume, Va, is the
only outfit to score victory over
Johnson's nine this season, but the
crew from down the river have
evened the score with this outfit.
The A. and P. Club played the
soldiers to a ten-inning tie. The
post team has beaten all local clubs
that have visited them this season.
An all-star outfit would no doubt
give the post team a good game and
II the contest can be arranged for
some Sunday at American League
Park, should bring quite a little bit
to the Red Cross fund.
