IF these challenges, which are
darting around like so many
i streaks of lightning, and which
are family reminiscent Of
those hurled during the years of
the Sandlotter, in 1920-21-22, may
be interpreted as clouds about to
burst into storm, a whale of a
free-for-all for the supremacy of
District diamonds Is forthcoming.
The reorganization of the once
famous Rex team. which is said by
many to be the greatest local sandlot
team ever assembled, is held significant
by close Sandlot observers. H. w.
Atkinson, who is doing the reorganiz-
ing Of the Rex, promises to add another
club to that select circle of the st.
Marys Celtics, Howard A. French's,
Washington Red Sox. Pullman Skinker
Eagles ct al which ostensibly has
snapped out Of the lethargy and means
to do something about settling the mat
ter of establishing one team as Wash
ington's independent sandlot champion.

Government Printing once. the Gov
eminent League champ took a licking
from Interstate last week and a similar
dose was administered TO Eldbrooke and
Commerce, winners of the Georgetown
Church and Departmental leagues
Whether G. p. o.'s tossers are falter-
ing may be seen tomorrow when the
Government Typos tackle the Union
Printers. The Printers have been tax
ing regular lickings, but they are held
strong enough to topple the title
holders should they stumble slightly.
Most Of the leaders in the Capital
City League now are trying 70 see how
many games behind they can put the
runners-up, so one-sided are many OF
