Drawing Interest; Sug-
gestiOns Invited.

Joseph Caranfa, of 322 F street
northeast. today selects a midget
"all-star" team which he declares is
capable of meeting any midget team
in the city. Young Caranfa fails to
mention the various teams from
which he obtains his selections. The
team selected follows:
Ends - James Burns and A. L.
Reavis.
Tackles Il DasbondanEa and
Bernard Farrell.
Guards-Anderson and T. Ffmi-
ana
Center-James Farrell.
Halfbscks-John Collire and Da-
Wis.
Quarterback-Gard
Fullback-Keil.
Caranfa fails to go into details as
to the respective merits OF those
players he has named to I'LL posi-
tions on an "allstar" team, but read
ers who have seen members of the
team he has selected in action can
judge for themselves.
The plans of a series of games
between the "all-star" teams have
met lhC dpPIONdt OI several persons
who are interested in athletics for
boys, and it is hoped that such a Sc
ries of games can be played before
the call of spring training for base
ball Is sounded.
II. Dickerson, of 1903 Thirteenth
street northwest, who selected an
"all-star" team of the Mount Pleas
ants, has written an interesting
Iaf q r. A.
Herald. in which he declares that a
series of games between "aIl-star"
midget teams would go a long way
in promoting interest in sports
among the boys in Washington.
Dickerson regards the proposed
series of games as a capital idea"
and his sentiments are expressed
by several others After the series
Of games, Dickerson> suggests that
the newspaper sponsoring the Sc
ries could select an "allstar" team
from boys of the team who played
in the series.
The editor of this page is some
what surprised by the fact that
managers of the several midget
teams In the city have not taken the
interest they should in such an
event. Managers OF the several
teams should bear in mind that such
series OF games would settle be-
yond a question the championship OF
the city in the midget class and a
city championship Is something
members of senior teams seek
highly.
In this regard the editor still in
vites suggestions as TO the pro-
posed series. for IL such a series of
games is taken favorably by the
several teams arrangements could
be hurried as the games would be
a big thing in Junior athletics, and
may open the way for such a Sc
ries to be played annually.
w. r. Frizzell, secretary of the
Mercury Jr. A. c., has written to
the editor relative to the "all-star.
midget team from the Southwest,
which was published last Sunday.
Young FrizzelI declares that in the
lineup of the Southwest team seven
boys were named as Mercury players
and in reality only two of those
named played on the team. As the
result members of the team have
complained
Frizzell asks to have the Mercury
Jr. lineup publishd. which is pre-
scented herewith:
Ends-McCeny and Bottazzi.
Tackles-Norbeck and Oscar.
Guards-Callan and Grower
Centers-Gibbs and Nichols.
rterback-Harris.
Left Halfback-Frizzell.
Right Halfback-Bradley.
Fullback Barghousen.
Having completed a successful
season. Frizzell states. the club
plans to put a heavier team on the
Held next season, and has already
started to sign up players The
club would like to hear from boys
between Is and Is years old. with
view to signing up for next sea-
son, but in his letter Frizzell fails
to mention an address where appli-
cants may apply for positions on the
team.
The editor would like to have
other selections of "sll-star' midget
teams. and would also like to pub
lish the results of basket hall
