event.
Clarendon, Cherrydale, Arlington,
Carlyn Spring, Brookmont and
Rosslyn, with large community fol-
lowings, announce their entries IN
the series, and on Monday night will
turn in their eligibility list, on which
two days will be allowed for pro-
test. Each team is allowed eighteen
players.
To be eligible a player must
have played in three games with
the team entering him, excepting
the pitcher, who must have pitched
one game or any part of two.
This rule is identical with the
eligibility law of the Washington
series.
Each team will play two games
every Sunday, one on it's own field
and one on a foes. The towns and
villages are in close enough prox-
unity to make the hops easy. All
independent Sunday games sched-
uled by the teams in the series will
be Cancelled.
The winner of the Arlington
county title will be in line for cham
pionship games with the Mont
gomery county, Md, independent
champion and the title winner of the
big Washington series.
MOhawlks meet ShamrocES!
The luck of the draw that Sec
toned teams for the sandIOt cham
piOnship series of Washington
turned a natural which will be
seen at American League park
this afternoon in the form Of
clash between the champion Mo-
hawks and the hard-playing, de-
termined ShamrOcks.
Both of these popular teams hail
from that section of the city east OF
Eighth street northeast, along Perm
sylvania avenue, and this fact alone
Is sufficient to make each of them
keenly interested in the downfall of
the other in the city series. Sand
lot neighbors seldom are neighbnrly
in relations.
When drawings were to be made
for the championship competition
the thought was in the mind of
nearly every sandlot fan in Washing
ton that it would be the old pepper
itself to have the Mohawks and
Shamrocks land in the same section.
They did.
Today they are considered leading
contenders for the honors in Section
B of the unlimited class and each is
off to a flying start with a victory.
Unless the game ends in a draw,
their clash at American League park
will leave one or the other in the
throes Of agonizing misery. Twill be
o sweet triumph for the winner.
The MOhawks and ShamrOcks
have been fighting with tooth and
nail spirit ever since the Mohawks,
famous in football, spread their
wings and took flyer at
ruled southeast Washington. 1t was
nasty for the ShamrOcks when
they fell by the 'wayside in the
championship race last year and
the Mohawks carried on to the
title.
'"TheY shall not pass" is the
spirit of the Shamrocks as they pre-
pare for action against the arch
enemy.
"Out of our way" is the attitude
of the champion Mohawks who have
all the confidence of the conquerer.
They have flattened a number OF
crack teams with ease lately
Their power with the fail is be

The Shamrock pitcher today will

There is no weak place in the Mo

very end, and sometimes not here.
