series OF washington, Wnlcn star
This last event, it is felt, would
be a knockout in sandlot baseball
for all season long the Washington
Virginia and Maryland teams min
gle in catch-as.catch-can style with
nothing more at stake than an aft.
ernoon's contest. With cham
games would jump.
Rivalry among the teams I'm
the two sections already is keen.
In Maryland, for instance, the
Maryland A. C. and Seat Pleas
ant "A. A. are fighting Hike fiends.
Tomorrow they will clash in the
second game Of a series.
No more bitter rivalry ever ex-
listed between two sandlot clubs
than is the case here. There are
other. teams in the section that
boasts Seat Pleasant and Mary
land Park that crave one another
scalps.
Over in Arlington county, Va,
the sandlot clubs long have been
at war. Nothing could be more
fitting than championship series.
A date for the meeting will be
announced later. Every Virginia
and Maryland manager with whom
the proposed series has been dis
cussed is ready to hop right in
and 60 to it.
The Washington sandIotters will
start their big war Monday. They
are eager for the fray.
Tomorrow several big games
will be played preliminary to the
championship competition. The
titled MOhawks will have their
fling. ut the Silver Spring semi.
pros, at Silver Spring, and likely
will draw a crowd. The MOhawlxS
have one Of the strongest hitting
sandlOt teams in this section Of
the land. Lem Owen will need
be in top form to set them down.
q. Lawrence Phillips brand-new
Union Park will be christened by
the crack American Legion and Mt.
Rainier teams, action starting at 3
o'clock. There viii be a fagraisIng
ceremony, in which the Costello
Post Drum Corps will be conspicu-
Gus.
OF vital interest to many fans in
southeast and southwest Washing
ton will be the contest at Wash
ington Barracks tomorrow between
the Shamrocks and Dominican
Lyceum, starting at 3 o'clock. The
Shamrocks still feel the sting of
the defeat given them several
weeks ago by the musicians.
The series schedules with playing
fields for the first week in the un-
limited, senior and junior classes
appear elsewhere in these pages.
The midget schedule is given
here. The series authorities have
fOund it necessary to alter plans
for the midget class. Instead of
. single section Of eight games,
the young sandlOtters have been
placed i'm two sections. An eight
team schedule, it was found,
would run too long to be practi-
cal.
The midgets will perform lin the
morning, each game starting at 10
O'Clock. The first weeks games
will be played on the Rosedale field
at Sixteenth and Gale streets north
east.
Dick Tennyson, director Of boys
activities of the Fairgrounds. who
has made his mark as player, man.
ager and umpire, will handle the
midget games. Tennyson, who
knows 0andlot conditions thorough
ly, volunteered for the Job and his
services have been gladly accepted
by the sandlot commission.
