PLAYGROUND MINES
EXPECTING BIG YEAR

With 80 teams expected to take part
in the annual graded school base ball
series, officials of the playground de-
partment are looking forward to a
banner year among the young dia-
mond enthusiasts who come under
their direction.
The seven division championships
were won last season as follows.
Georgetown division, Tenley School;
Columbia Heights. Monroe School;
Plaza. Blair-Hayes; Virginia avenue.
Buchanan School: New York avenue,
Thomson School; Garfield, Smailwood
School, and Rosedale, Blow School.
Blow also captured the city title,
but reports from the little northeast
building indicate that material for an
other championship nine is not so
promising. All of the members of the
1925 nine have moved to higher
grades. leaving the job of defending
the honor to combination of In.
experienced players.
