LEAGUE IS PLANNED Another Sunday sandlot league, composed of the Garflelds, Dominican Lyceum, Petworth, Mohawks, Sham- rocks, Knickerbockers, Mercury and the Dreadnaughts of Alexandria, may be organized for next season if the plans of Manager Pete Haley of the Garfields materialize. Haley expects to broach the sub- ject to the managers of the nines before plans are made for next year. According to the Garfleld pilot, sand- | lotters are not getting enough base | ball during the season, as the ma- | Jority of contests played fail to zo the full nine innings.
