eminent League cham
v v pionship," declared Ed
Lowery, manager of the
Union Printers, but you can bet on
this-if we do win, we'll not play in the
CITY series if it is held at the Terminal
Park"
Some sandlot fans may be inclined
to take Lowery's declaration lightly on
the grounds that his Union Printers
have little chance of winning the Gov
eminent flag, but it is not beyond the
capabilities Of the ball club to do this.
The Printers have two more games,
one with Navy Yard and one with
Naval Hospital. Should they win both
and Naval Hospital beats the Gun
time will be had. The Sailors, Navy
yard and the Typos would be tied for
first place!
This announcement on the part OF
the TYPOS will not be taken so lightly
should they contrive to cop the PEN
nant. 1t will mean therell be plenty
of fireworks, for without the Govern
ment League entry, which, along with
the Terminal League winner, compoSes
the outstanding threats in the city
series, interest in the play-of Tor the
any of our modern heavywe1ghts ever
have.
Lowrey's reasons for refusing TO play
in the Union Station Park are obvious,
vet nothing can be done to REMEDY the
situation. It's the only field that is
available with sufficient Accommodations
for both monetary and attendance
comfort.

an abbreviated left field, sloping right
field, a backstop that is too close 70
the catcher and Is surrounded by q
fence which makes 1t almost impossible
for a batter to be retired on foul ball.
Outside of that" says Ed, Its all
right"
The Union Printers claim that the
field favors the Terminal League win
ner in that the players become &C
customed to the shortcomings and
adapt themselves to them. However,
A. L. Hightman, secretary OF the Ter
minal Y. M. &C. A, and the Pullman
club declare they are willing to take
the game anywhere. But here's where
the catch comes in-the board OF d.

field as the battlefield and there ap-
pears no way to repeal it.
So while 1t is true that the Printers
haven't much show in the Government
League, thereu be something doing in
case they do.
Manager OFT Speiess of the Washing
ton Police nine, announces that his
team has added strength for the COM
ing police-firemen classic. Lefty
Thompson, a newcomer to the squad, he
claims, should bolster his mound staff.
But Lefty, it has been revealed,
hasn't pitched game Of ball for 10
years.
There's nothing like new blood, but
10 years is such long time.
One of the reasons why the Nolan
Motor Co., is playing bang-up this sea-
son is the work of Cleve Jarvis, IT.
year -old inf1elder-outfielder.
Cleve harbors an ambition to play
professional ball and is leaving no stones
unturned in his efforts to work in
plenty of practice as well as games.
When the Nolans are carded at 3
o'clock, Cleve generally arrives on the
field at 10 o'clock and practices until
game time.
His record is an enviable one, too.
He's batting an even 400, fielding well
above par, and possesses a powerful
arm.
