County Expected to Furnish
Two Circuit Baseball Teams
This Season.

HYATTSVILLE. Nd, April a.
Public schools of Prince Georges
county will reopen tomorrow fol-
lowing the Easter vacation, which
began last Friday.
The working fund of the local ele-
mentary school has been enriched
about $50 through a magazine sub
scription campaign conducted by
two teams of pupils. The team
captained. by Miss Eleanor. Van
doren obtained fifty-three subscrip-
tons, to thirty-five for the losing
team. The latter. under terms Of
the contest, will have to treat the
winners to party before school
closes.
It has been suggested that two
baseball circuits be formed this sea
son, one embracing teams in the
upper section of the county and
the other those in the lower end
and that a post-season series be-
tween the winner in each be played
to determine the county champion.
ship. Little interest, however, has
been shown in the plan.
Not a single team which held
membership in the county league
last year with the exception or
Berwyn is in a position to re-enter
circuit this year. Neither. Land
over, which won the pennant last
year and then defeated the Mary
land Park Athletic Club, county in
dependent titleholders, for the
county championship. nor Hyatts-
vile which finished in second place
in the league will be represented
at all on the diamond this year, &C
cording to the way things now look.
The Landover team can be only
got together again this year with
great difficulty. according to James
F. Fitzhugh. last years manager
while the difficulty in Hyattsville
Is that the town is without a dia-
mond. Zantzinger's Park having
been subdivided for building, Man
ager Thomas Jameson of SeabroolS
states his team is not in a position
to again enter a league.
Berwyn, which has expressed its
desire to get into a county circuit
this season, Will probably have a
clever team.
Among some OF last years county
independent teams of note which
are vigorously preparing for the Inn
pending campaign are MARYLAND
Park, Mt. Rainier, Clinton, Laurel,
Seat Pleasant. Capitol Heights. Ri
verdale and Upper Marlboro and q
host OF junior combinations. The
Prince Georges Athletic association
of ForestviIle is among the new
teams in the county which promise
to be formidable.
Robert C. Norris is the latest adj
dition to Hyattsville's police force.
He has just been appointed dep
uty town bailiff blythe snayor and
common council. and has entered
upon his duties. -- ---------
