Washington's Typo nine, holding the
championship Of the Union Printers
International Baseball League, will
leave Saturday for st. Louis, where
it will defend its crown against a
dozen top-ranking outfits in the cir
cults annual tournament.
Manager Eddie Edwards Of the
Washington club admits it has a
slight chance to repeat, which is mild
compared to what some of the other
managers are claiming The facts
are. however, that Washington does
have one OF the consistently strong
outfits in the inky circuit and has won
an even dozen championships since
the league was organized in 1908.
Tournament play will begin Sum-
day with a special contest between St.
Louis and Indianapolis, but the real
action starts Monday when all the
other teams open fire at various dia-
monds throughout the city. 1t will
be double knockout" series, for a

around local sandlots. has had his
team playing in two leagues. the Ma

Around frame of seven players
who have seen tournament action be-
fore. the Typos have built a machine
that at last is working smoothly A
few young players have been added,
and at the moment Washington's
Printers figure to make gallant fight
for the Garry Hermann Trophy.
Threatening clubs, Edwards says,
are New York, Detroit, Cincinnati,
Chicago and Boston. New York will
be tough for it has plenty Of pitchers
and the players hit hard. Detroit
needs bit of help in the box. but
aside from that figures to be hard to
handle. Cincinnati is better balanced
than most Of the Others Chicago, like
Washington, will have seasoned play
ers. And as for Boston. we'll, it Is
liable to pull fast one anytime.
Among the mainstays Of the local
nine are Charley Holbrook, Washing
ton printers baseball commissioner,
