v hitting sandlot base ball
team, the Pullman club
Of 1880, will be reassembled by
Capt. Harry Hall and will embark
on q District independent title
quest.
Hall, who captained the Pull
mans last season and led them to
80 straight victories, the Terminal
League, city week day series, and
the Eastern railroad champion
ships, this season plans to chal-
lenge all the leading unlimited
and semi-pro mines in the metro
politan district.
The Pullmans will open their title
quest with three-game series with
Washington Terminal shortly.
This nine, which easily swept
through the Terminal League season
and the city series. will have Marcus
ChsconaS, Dutch" Smithson and
Lefty" Trip in the outfield; Ed
Radtke. Harry Hall, Charlie Booker and
Huck Stahl in the infield; Babe Clap
per in the pitching box and Fee Collier
behind the bat.
WITH eight leading teams in line. the
w Howard A. French Midget Base
Ball League will get under way
next Thursday and. with the COMPETE
ton Of the loop, President Bill Flester
hopes to match the French League
champion with the Capital City Midget
League winner for the midget title
Of the city.
That interest in sandlot base ball q
high among midget class players is
shown by the turning out Of the octet
of teams, but the insects have been
none too forward. Because Of this lack
Of interest, Flester plans to pass up the
French Insect League this year and
concentrate on the midgetS.
All four of the American Legion
teams, Nash, Spengler, Victory and
Jasper Posts, are in line, while the re-
mainder of the circuit will include the
Hawks, Langdons, Fairlawns and Ma
tional Pale DryS.
Practically the same rules that gov
ern the American Legion will be in
order in the French League
A final meeting will be held Tuesday
at 8 o'clock in the sport store. FleSter
is not averse to adding another pair
OF clubs, making it q 10team didget
league.
THOUGH they were parted from the
i usual site Of the city championship
series late last Winter when the
Washington Terminal Park was dug up
the presidents OF the week day leagues
are determined TO let the pennant win
nerS fight 1t out at the end OF the league
season. and the site of the annual clas-
sic most under consideration is Grifhth
Stadium.
