1t is regarded unfortunate in
sandlot circles that the Shamrocks
withdrew from section E in the junior
competition of the Washington Base
Ball and Amateur Athletic AsSocia-
tion series. V. NJ. Lawrence, who
pilots the Shamrocks, declared it was
no fault of his, but that his players
failed to show much interest in the
series games and agreed to play un-
der a new regime. Members of the
ShamrockS now are considering the
organization of a siX-team league.
