There isn't a ball club in either

question of staging the 1918 worlds

The National League president,
John K Tener, seems to be the one

world He suggests a playing out OF
the regular season with whatever
players may be available, and no

ORGANIZE FORCES
FOR TITLE SERIES

The District of Columbia Baseball
Association Is today a fact Twelve
teams, representing the service, inde-
pendent. and league baseball interests
in the city, effected an organization
at the New Ebbitt last night in order
to conduct a post-season champion
ship baseball series.
r. Z. Doyle, prominently identified
with baseball here for a number Of
years, was elected chairman OF the
organization. E. C. Bennett, OF the
Clarendon A c., was elected secre-
tary, and c. E. Mcclure. former Mo-
hawk A. C. president. was elected
treasurer. Representatives OF four
newspapers were elected to constitute
a board of governors to draw up rules
and regulations for play in the series.
Twelve teams were represented at
the meeting. All expressed a desire
to enter the post-season series. The
Navy Yard League asked representa-
ton for a picked team from that cir
cult, which was granted. Camp
Meigs, the Company F team of the
6O4th Engineers, the Army Medical
School. Clarendon Athletic Club.
Capital Publishing Company. Guam
tico Marines, Rex Athletic Club, 43Ith
Engineers, Naval Operations, Ord

to submit a code for the series at
meeting to be held in the Star Club
rooms next Friday night.
Managers of independent baseball
teams who desire to enter the base

applications to this office at once. II
was the sense of the organization
that the series be divided into three
classes. and that the winners OF these
