North Capitol street, and several
other elevens with excellent records
are clamoring for a chance to play
the Mohawks or whichever team
lands on top in the present morgan

team to a 1918 score, and lost to
Roamer A. c., to 0, but protested
the victory, charging that Roamer
had twelve men on the field.
Southern A. c., which took the
measure of the Alexandria Dread
nauRhts and the Mohawk Juniors, will
meet the Quentins today on the
Quentin field at 2:30 p. m. These are
rated as two of the citys strongest
140-pound teams.
