0WINCS PLAYERS INVITE
DISTRICT TEAMS TO PLAY

The Owings. Md, team is out with
a def to all of the first class teams
in the District. Moreover. the Owings
men stipulate they would play the
Dreadnaughts, Clarendons, Knicker-
bockers or any other team that is
claiming topp honors in baseballdom
hereabouts.
Just listen to Manager c. c. Buck
Ter who says:
Recently quite n lot OF comment
has been made about the strength of
several baseball teams around Wash
ington, namely, Knickerbockers,
Dreadnaughts, and Clarendons. 1t is
claimed that they are winning all the
games that they play. IF that is
correct why not give the Owings Ath-
letic club chance to cross bats with
them. They may not be in their
class. but they are willing to try"
Having played twelve games this
season and only losing one should be
enough record to be given a chance
by the above named clubs. The man
agcr of Owings has tried to Arrange
games with several of the above
named teams but without success. One
club went so far as to arrange for
date and then Cancelled II week
before the game was to be played
Are they afraid Of us or, what is the
trouble? 1f they are winning so
many why do they not try to get
someone that will give them game"
According to the list OF games pub
lishcd last week the Knickcrbockers
seem to always pick a team that they
know that can be licked before the
game starts.
"Owings invites the three teams
above mentioned to come to Owings
and give them II trial. They are Will
ing to pay n liberal guarantee if they
VIII communicate with G. &. Buckler
Owings, Md, or by phone, Prince
Frederick, 6-T, ~"
What do you say about it, Knicks,

HERE ARE SOME FACTS.

We are feeling tiptop today. despite
last nights heavy showers, but here
arc some hard facts concerning the
Griffmen as they stand on July Is,
1920:
clark Griffith must loosen up on
the old purse, if he would keep his
team from fighting for seventh place.
Utility men are needed for both the
outfield and the infield. Some real
nitchers are needed. At least one
brainy catcher is absolutely neces.
sary. If the greatest good is to be re-
ceivcd from what pitchers are re-
tanned or obtained.
The Griffs today need an expert
enced. capable third baseman. They
need at last another infielder avail
able for short or second base in case
of accidents to the incumbents. They
need another outfielder. They need
about Ave pitchers. They need
catcher.
CAN WEARY ALONG.
or course. Prexy Griffith can weary
along with his present collection, but
he will not then be true, to himself
nor to his promises made last winter
to Washington fandom. The test
against the other clubs in this league
shows Washington to have a decid-
partment. but the outheld. The outer
trio are keeping the team where it Is.
Two Rochester pitchers, Acosta
and Clifford. are said to be booked
for Washington trials. Acosta is a
veteran of the minors and may not
do. clifford has been showing to
advantage. but there is no telling
what may happen to him in this COM
pany. once he begins dragging in
bush league hurlers, PreXy Griffith
may as well drag 'em in by the dozen.
for they usually fail in rapid sue
cCssion.
The Washington mogul says he IL
also on the hunt for infelders. He
may as well figure on half "A dozen
shortstops and third basemen, fos he
may need them all.
Managing the Washington ball
club is not exactly one long, sweet
dream. It's more like suffering from
