By 81. c. BYRD.

Capital City League and Rosedale
League probably will effect some kind
of a consolidation at 4 meeting sched-
uled tonight in order to finish out the
be made to get in line the best teams
from each organization. form q six-club
circuit. and play through what should
be a schedule Of good games.
Both leagues have had rocky going
so far this year. For 4 while all went
ization but after the nrst series it &C
complished very little. no games being
played. There was a general lack Of
interest and not much of an attempt
was made to inject new life into it. The
Capital City League played some good
ball early in the year. Tru1tons having
an exceptionally strong club.
In the Rosedale League there was
trouble during the hrst half of the
season in getting suitable grounds.
One or two of the teams dropped out
after three different transfers to play
ing territory were made. Now that the
grounds at 18th and H streets. renamed
Columbia Park, have been secured. the
organization is going to make = strong
effort to go through with the re-
mainder of its schedule. At tbs Joint
meeting with the Capital City League
strenuous efforts vii be putt forth to
get things going and to complete the
schedule.
A meeting of the Terminal Railroad
Y. NJ. c. A. League Is scheduled for this
week. at which the schedule for the re-
mainder of the season will be rear
ranged and plans for finishing tho sea-
son drawn up. The inability Of one Of
the mines to appear for its scheduled
games during the last two weeks be-
cause Of pressure Of ONCE work has
resulted in tho postponement Of its
contests. Because Of this it has been
decided to shift the remainder of the
games and almost begin anew. Acc
by Secretary Winslow, executive Of
ficer of the Terminal 'rY." there Is not
the least intention to discontinue the
season.
Heyliger Church. former Western
High School athlete and for the last
two years a member of the Yale foot
ball squad. is a member Of the aviation
section In training ut Cornell Uni
versity. Church is tho second Wash
last two years on ono Of tho big
three" elevens to enter the service Of
Uncle Sam. Phil Kaufman. who
played at Princeton. is the other.
Appointment of Hugh Bezdek, ath-
letic director of the University of
Oregon, as manager of the Pittsburgh
National League ball club. Is quite an
innovation. BIT it Is not the first time
that action has been taken. Once be-
fore an athletic director Of university
was placed in charge Of = major league
organization. but he failed to last long.
Several years ago Boston put George
Hun of the University Of Illinois at
the helm. but soon passed up the idea
and made Bob Unglaub manager. Tsz-
dek probably will return to the Pacific
coast again in the fall and resume
coaching.

BOSTON. Mass. July 10.-Manager
Stallings of the Braves. rendered al
most desperate by the losing streak of
his team, Is planning to get two men
from the International League to boil
ster up his outfield. Without IL slated
to go. for his weak hitting has made
his playing unsatisfactory to the big
boss.
Weak hitting has been tho principal
trouble with the Braves all the year,
and tho outfeld has been particularly
bad in this respect. Stallings took a
trip to Providence yesterday, and 1t
was learned he was in conference with
the Providence manager after the game
there, but what was done could not be
learned. Stallings hopes to get Walter
Rehg, formerly with the Red sox. and
another International League star from
Providence. He has also recalled Ar
thur Rice from the Springfield club Of
the Eastern League. to strengthen his
catching STAFF, and the youngster may
now get a chance to catch for a big
league team as regular.
