SANDLOTTERS'
SALT AND
PEPPER
By R. D. Thomas


There is less sandlot baseball in
Washington than in many a year,
yet, II is said, the demand of star
players for cash is greater than
Of yore.
No less than half dozen calls
have been made on this office lately
by ball players with a single ques-
ton: Can you steer me into a
club that pays its players?"
which calls 70 mind the ex-
ceIIont financial condition Of the
Mohawk Athletic Club. The
Mohawk Club, with upward Of
81 900 In the treasury, is q
CrOesus among sandl0t Organiza-
tons. IL has earned this place
BY economy in the matter of
paying it's athletes.
The boys get a nice cut at the
end of each football season and
more than earn 1t, if the matter
II 20 be regarded In that light.
But the Indians have ever had
enough pride to put the game be-
fore the dough.
And this spirit has helped to
make them wealthy as an organiza-
ton. It has produced excellent
teams and such teams are favored
by the sandlot; fans that pay.
Most of the sandIOt clubs that
have achieved big success i'm
the last five years have been
destroyed by that success. Too
much money poisons a sandlot
organization with greed.
The Mohawk Club stands as a
Singing exception.
Tie games, due to darkness
shortened play, are becoming nu-
merous. Interstate and Govern
ment Printing Office failed to
reach a decision in a seven-inning
contest that ended sail. 1t was
a pitching struggle between Lyons
and Conover. with honors about
evenly divided.
Bureau OF Engraving and Print
/ ing won an odd game from the
Veterans Bureau, to s. Each
team scored five runs in the first
inning. Jones and Hughes. with
three hits apiece, were batting
stars.
