in the history Of sandlot baseball.
Despite the lack OF suitable playing
FIELDS and the absence OF well-known
corner lots. the independent mines
have manag ed to get going and stay
going all summer.
1t is particularly true that the
youngsters, teams averaging fifteen,
sixteen and seventeen years, are get
ting plenty of action. This means, OF
course. that the older players are to
be replaced by new blood.
There are six leagues playing in
addition to the independents. The
failure of the leagues to adopt the
Amateur Baseball Association con-
stitution, instead OF hurting organ
lied baseball. has apparently done 1t
a deal OF good.
This year more than ever before

fields, athletic clubs and their fol-
levers have gone to great lengths to
make suitable fields for play. Sew
eral fields in the northwest and
southeast have been cleared, leveled.
and put in condition in order that
games NAV be played.
Some of the teams have made envi-
able records. The impetus of win
ming strides has placed these orEani-
zations on a firm footing, gathered a
following, and made great impress
sion in the locality where they have
performed. The result is that per
manent athletic clubs are springing &
up all over town which will ultima ate
ly take up football and basketball and
make for an all-year-round PROPOSE
,tion.
Clubs forming now have planned
to take over Junior organizations to
develop material and provide for feed
ers as the youngsters are brought out.
At least six clubs now forming are
making plans for football this fall.
The growth of sports in Washington
is healthy and lasting and is taken
to mean that the athletes are keeping
pace with other activities in the city
which are going ahead in leaps and
bounds.
Talk of a post-season series con-
tinues. The athletes arc waiting for
some one to start something.

nerve center has been torn and that
the Rochester sawbones may remedy
matters In some way.
Griffith had long talk with his
pitching ace and finally succeeded IN
getting him to make the trip. john

Prsxy Griffith fingered here long
enough to see Fred Thomas make his
debut in a Washington uniform and
the Griffs turn from worm to rat

them now"
JOINS AT ST. LOUIS.
Il haven't quit trying, though.
Maybe I'll pick up a couple Of pitch
ers by the time 7 join the team in st.

Schacht arc benefited any by their
trip to Rochester they should be able
to take their turn in the box and we
shan't be so badly off as we are now"
T. Two more inficlders have been pur-
chased for trials next spring. They
are Foss, third baseman, and Lamotte,
shortstop, both of the championship
Tampa Club, OF the Florida State
League.
II watched both of these lads play
against my team last spring" ex-
plains Griffith. "They are green
youngsters steadily improving. Foss
is hitting around 400 for Tommy
Leach's team. Lamotte is not as good
D hitter. but he looked to me in the
spring to be the better player.
- WATCHED BY ENGLE.
"Joe Engle recently spent a whole
week watching Foss and Lamotte.
and on his recommendation ] have
bought them both. I'll see what they
can do at Tampa next spring"
President Griffith proved a mascot
yesterday. Instead of being weak
ings, the Griffs leaped On Jim Bagby
like A pack Of wolves, driving him
from the box in the third inning. They
also touched up Bob Clark. his sue
cessor, rather smartly. Niehaus, who
twirled the last two frames, yielded
one unnecessary run.
Jim Shaw permitted punched blows
in only two innings. He was a bit
wild. but tremendously effective with
It all. He worked hard and deserved
his triumph.
Sam Rice and Bobby Roth were the
Washington heroes. "Chopsticks"
grabbed a triple and three singles,
scored three runs himself, and drove
in two more. He stole three bases
ence stealing second, going to third
on Clark's balk, and then stealing
home.

Roth came out of his batting
lethargy to collect a single, a double,
