When the application of the Mount
Rainier team to enter the Prince
Georges county league was along
with those of number of other
county teams turned down owing to
the fact that the league schedule has
nearly been completed, members OF
the local team, anxious TO get action
in the league some way, began to sign
up with the various clubs. AS re-
suit a number OF Mount Rainier's
best performers are now playing In
the league. Among them are Hoff-
man. pitching for Landover; Loomis.
catching. and Baldwin. pitching and
playing the infeld for Hyattsville.
and Weidman. who is holding forth at
shortstop for Seabrook. These men.
together with number of other
smart tossers recently added to the
clubs has done much to improve the
quality of play in the league.
