best they have for this purpose.

AMATEUR BALL RULES
WILL Be RELAXED
Less Stringent Observation
or Code.

Washington, April 22.-Plans for
relaxation in the strict rules which
have governed amateur ball in the
District will be laid before the Anna
tcur Baseball association at its meet
ing tomorrow night at 613 Fourteenth
street. The board of governors, after
serious contemplation of the situation
for seevral days. has decided that ev-
cry effort should be made to encour-
age the playing of the game by every
body possible 1t was thought that
this could be done in no better way
than to suspend the force of many of
the stringent sections now in the code
of rules.
The general meeting OF the associa
ton has been called for tomorrow
night and the whole matter will be
threshed out then. There is not much
doubt about the adoption of any rec
concentrations the board of governors
may make in regard to such changes
as are contemplated, because the ma
joritv of those connected with anna
teur ball think the rules have been
much too strict anyway. Bail players
and managers alike probably will be
very glad to have let-up In the
present code.
Representatives of all tho leagues
which will take part in the sport this
season and of those teams and leagues
that desire affiliat on with the assoc
citation will he present. As matter
of fact. though the members Of the
association will be glad'to have come
any and all who are interested in the
sport.
Maryland State has four athletic
contests booked this week. Two
games of baseball are scheduled with
West Virginia university. the relay
team goes 10 the University of Penn

twelve finishes its season by meeting

SPEAKERS FIRST GAME

Billy Doyle. now scout and business
agent for the Milwaukee Brewers. tells
OF the first professional ball game iris
Speaker ever played, and as Billy al
ways is truthful. his account OF the
experience of iris is given space.
1T was in 1905" says Doyle. and
Cleburne was then In the Texas
league. / was pitching for Dallas.
Dode Ransom. shortstop for Cleburne.
was hit in the head with a pitched
ball and he went to his home In Hub
bard City for a few days to recupe-
rate. when he came back he brought
raw youngster with him who said
he was a pitcher, and his name was
Speaker.
This young Speaker made an awful
mess of II in his first tryout In the
box, but in his two times at bat he
slammed a couple of triples UP against
the fence. They tried him in the box
day or two later and he was worse
than before, but he swatted a few
more long hits.
Manager shelton. of the Cleburns
team. jerked him out and said to him:
Here, you, get out of the box. You
amt no pitcher. but maybe you're an
outfielder Go out there and try it,
And that was the start of Iris

VIRGINIA LEAGUE SEASON
TO OPEN THURSDAY
Good Season Anticipated, With Only
War Cloud TO Mar Vision.

Lynchburg, Va, April 2s.-The
twelfth season Of the Virginia league
will open Thursday, with Lynchburg
playing in Newport News, Rocky
Mount at Petersburg, and Ports
mouth at Norfolk. The following
Monday openings will be held at
Lynchburg with Petersburg, at Rocky
Mount with Norfolk. and ut Ports
mouth with Newport News. The UNI
pires will be Guy N. Colgate, Edward
I4auzon and Angie Morgan. but Presi-
dent Bradley has not announced the
assignments for the initial games.
Except for the war cloud. the cir
cult seems to have good season
ahead, but. of course. it is impossible
to forecast what the trouble with
Germany win do to the attendance.
Lynchburg, ono OF the original
movers for the formation OF the cir
cult back In 1905. returns to the fold,
taking the franchise left vacant by
the midseason detection of the Hope
well club last year. The club Is to
be directed by Joe Stanley of Wash
ington, who has had to build an en-
tire new team. He believes he will
be able. however. to put team
afield that will more than hold Its
own. In Norfolk. Art Devlin. for
many years with tho new orh
Giants. also had to construct practi-
cally a new nine. as the material left
over after the strike last year was
very poor.
At Rocky Mount Ray Ryan has
renovated the Down Homers. and all
new faces will be seen with that team.
PortsIn outh, Petersburg and Newport
News have good many followers
and should, therefore. have something
on the other clubs at the start. Jim
Fox returned TO pilot the Portsm outh
team: Harry Payne will be in charge
again at Newport News. and Ham
Reynolds who caught last year for
Portsmouth. is at the helm in Peters
burg. President Bradley is forecast
ing a good season for all the clubs.

SAM CRAWFORD LEADS
IN POINT OF SERVICE
Veteran Outficldcr Heads Big Ieagu-

ing in Game.

For the first time in q score OF
years the National league lifted the
curtain on a new season without the
name OF John Henry Wagner appear
ing In the batting order OF the pi-
rates And the worst OF 1t Is. '1he
Flying Dutchman" appears to have
sung his swan song.
Wagner hasn't joined the Pirates,
nor doee he intend to, according to
latest report. He is through with the
game in which he has been a leading
figure since the late II. c. Pulliam
brought him into the National league
from the Paterson. N. j., club in 1897.
Wagner was only one of a half
score OF old fellows who in one fell
swoop were lost by the major leagues
since the close of the 1915 races.
Others taken from the ranks OF ac-
tive service were Larry Lajoie, Bob
by Wallace. Chief Bender. Nap Ruck-
err. Ed Walsh. Mordecai Brown, Char
ley Doom ana Christy Matshewson.
Matty. of course, remains in the game
as bench manager OF the Cincinnati
Reds.
We. and possibly older critics. can
not recall the year when so many old
stars were put on the shelf by Father
Time.
According to statistics, Sam Craw-
ford. OF the Detroit Tigers. now is the
veteran Of the big leagues in point OF
actual service. Sam came up from
the barber shop to the Cincinnati
Reds when he was STRIPPING of nine.
teen summers.
Though two years younger :han
Gavvy Cravath, the slugging Phil.
Crawford has served more than dou-
bic the time in the fast set Sam
claims only thirty-stx. but he has been
on the roster of a big league club for
seventeen years.
In age. Eddie Plank. who toiled
twelve summers for Connie Mack,
now with the st. Louis Browns, has
six years on Crawford, but the Get
tysburg farmer did not break into the
big show until he was about twenty
FIVE. This Is his seventeenth season,
whereas 1t Is the eighteenth for Wa
hoo Sam.
After Plank comes Johnny Ewes,
captain of the Braves. who Joined the
Cubs in 1909. Evers will be thirty
four next July. The fourth man in
point OF service is old Leon Ames, who
generally Is overlooked In discussing
