ELBERFELD DID NOT
REALIZE ONE AMBITION

Kid Elberfeld, one-time Yankee and
until recently manager of the Little
Rock Club of the Southern League.
Our entry into the war and the con-
sequent disbanding of the Southern
League throttled the Kids all-a5-
sorbing ambition-he wanted to stay
in the game until he saw his son
play alongside him. From time to
time Elberfeld had business PROPOSE
tions, but he would not step down.
Wait until my kid plays over there
at second for me and then I'll re-
tire" said Elberfeld. And he stuck
by his guns until he had to quit.
Elberfeld has gone to Camp Shelby.
at Hattiesburg, Miss. as a Y. NJ. c.
A. instructor. He will collaborate
there with Mel Sheppard, who is the
athletic director under the War De-
partment Commission on Training
Camp Activities. Elberfeld is only
one Of seven Southern League figures
who enlisted in the Y. NJ. c. A. work
Immediately after the disruption of
their organization. Charley Frank,
the Atlanta manager. has gone to
Camp Gordon; Carleton Molesworth.
Birmingham manager, to Camp
Greene; Ted Breitenstein, umpire, and
Sammy Mayer. Atlanta outfielder and
brother of Erskine Mayer. to Camp
Wadsworth: Bob Higgins. Chatta-
nooga catcher. to Camp Olgethorre,
and Otto Jordan, former Atlanta
manager, to Camp jackson.

POLICE NINE WILL
MEET LOCAL CLUBS

Initial practice OF the Police Dc
partment baseball team that Will
battle the Home Defense League
nine in a benefit game for the
widows and orphan fund Of the po-
lice department will be held this
afternoon at 2 p. m. on the Monu-
ment Lot grounds at Fifteenth and
B streets northwest. Manager Sergt
Raedy intends pushing his crew
through a stiff practice today as he
is anxious to get a line on the abili-
ty of the players that report
Should this squad not come up TO
the expectations Sergt Mike will
make another tour of the depart
ment to find players that come up to
the standard that he desires. Man
ager Raedy is also anxious to have
the rough spots all taken on the
players by the time he turns them
over to Coach Bob" Barr who
rounded the last years winers into
form. Practices will be held three
times a week. Coach Barr will no
doubt take charge of the team Sat-
urday week
1t is the intention Of sergt.
Raedy to place the Police Club
against all the fast independent,
service and league clubs in this vi
cinity for practice affairs as he be-
lieves that better results can be OBJ
tained in games than drills. No
definate date has yet been set for
the big game, but IL is hoped to be
played early in September.

a large crowd from the War Depart
ment and all branches Of the govern
ment will no doubt turn out to watch

tary Of War. will throw out the first
ball.
The Finance and Account team
have been one of the pennant con-
tenders in the championship race In
the Departmental League all summer.
1t was the brilliant spurt put up by
Captain Jack O'Brine's team in the
last few games in the first series that
knocked the agriculture team out of
the championship Of the first series
when the 4s7th engineers walked off
with the title.
The Navy Yard Marines have play
ed several first-ciass games this sea-
son. Work in athletics at the Navy

His resignation was sent to the
club owners today In order TO,
give them time to select his sue
cessor before the meeting OF the

of series OF events growing out
of the row between himself and

MARINES LAND
SECOND SERIES
Devil Hounds Declared
Winners at Meeting Of
Navy League.

Followers Of the Navy Inter-Bureau
Leagpo who expected witnessing tne
Operations, of the Navy Department
clash with the Marines in the Dig
game on the White Lot this evening
are to be disappointed, as at a meet
ing of the managers OF the four clubs
at the Star Club last night the league
season was declared closed.
Although this circuit ranks among
the best in the city, much wranghns
has ensued this season. At the meet
ing last night a resolution was adopt
ed which declared the Marines win
ners of the second series and a three
game series decided upon between the
Devil Hounds" and the Operation
team for the title n the league.
This series will not get under way
until late this week or early next
week. as both Lieut.. Craige and Man.
ager Lacey desire to rest up their
teams before sending them into this
crucial test. This decision, which was
suddenly reached by the league Off
cials. grew out of many wrangies. The
one that topped the climax was the
postponed game of Monday between
Operations and Ordnance. All present
decided upon this issue as the best one
stances that existed that would only
delay the finishing Of the schedule.
Fans and players are waiting
anxiously for the meeting of the
newly formed District Baseball As
ISOLATION which takes place at the
Star Club rooms Friday. At this
meeting a definite time for the
starting of the series will be settled
upon while the laws which will gov
ern the series will also be passed
upon.
The numbers OF the teams in this
vicinity in the independent. service
and club ranks that will enter the
series will also be named at this
meeting along with division Of such
clubs into classes. Much talk is
being heard on this classification Of
the teams as from the present pros
poets It appears that there will be
no less than six or seven clubs from
the three branches OF the services
that are eligible while only two in
dependent clubs have SO far made
application.
The three league clubs have al
ready been classified in Section A.
II no more independent teams apply
the association may enter the inde-
pendent teams in the service
series and divide this class into two
sections or they may place the in
dependent club in the league sec
tion and play it out in two classes.
All the pro-and-con will be decided
at this meeting.

HERMANN FOR
WORLD SERIES
Interleague Games Will Not
Contravene Order on
Work or Fight.

Cincinnati. o., Aug. 6.-"The worlds
series can be played" said Chairman
August Hermann. OF the Nationai
Baseball Commission. upon his return
from the baseball meeting at Cleve-
land. "and played without contraven-
ing government orders. That muc
Ia positive. For one thing. there Is a
general widespread misapprehension
as to the nature Of the orders con-
corning baseball. We were not told
that baseball must be discontinued
September 1.
ION the contrary. We were told that
Secretary of War Baker and Gen.
Crowder hoped that we would be able
to 60 ahead after September ! with
such men as did not come under the
scope of the word-or-hght act. that
their sympathies were with US. and
that they favored our proceeding to
the end Of our regular schedule II
possible.
Now, then, as to the big series.
Players are not ordered to get out
of baseball at a definite date. They
must seek essential employment by
September /. and we. the club own
ers. are cooperating with the gov
ernment by finding them such en-
ployment By September ! we hope
to have essential positions provided
for every man. including members OF
the two championship clubs.
THE various draft boards must send
notice to each man as to working or
fighting orders and he has from three
to seven days in which to make
answer. BY the time the answers
are filed and taken up. the world 8
series will be over and every man
will be ready to step into the essen
tial occupation that has been found
for him, or which he has found for
himself. Thus. the big series can be
carried through in early September.
and no law will be contravened.
I'VE propose to wind up the sea-
son here in proper fashion. am al
most positive that Mathewson will
return to the pitching mound and
will work in games before the close.
just to be in on the honor Of the
grand final and to please the fans.
There will be some doubling up Of
games. I want st. Louis. IL agree
able, to cancel their games with US
for next week in st. Louis, and to
play them here as double-headers
at the finish. Eastern and Western
trips. so far as possible, shall be car
ried through in both leagues, the
idea Of confining the last games to
the different sections was a joke, and
we repudiated 1t in hurry. Yes.
I think there will be a worlds series"
