LASSISE, WENGEL, YOUNG MAKE GOOD Commerce Breaks Spell of D. C. Repair—Red Birds Back in Field. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. OR years the Government Base Ball League has had a reputation of being harder | for an aspiring young dia- monder to crash than a world series game. Sandlot wiseacres often have remarked, “when those | old boys decide to quit there won't be enough players left for a league.” | In a lesser proportion the other week day loops have seen young- sters flash for a time, only to fail. This seaton has been no exception, | for few newcomers are holding down regular berths, but there are at least three that have been tagged comers sandlot_sages. D e Government League, Catcher George Lassise has given the veteran Al Schneider a fight for the first- string l:;zfiwp i O.'s leay =] g~ nine. slh{\‘:e in build, has divided the post with Schneider and records show that he has been fielding in bang-up style, batt'ng well over .300, and few base runners have taken liberties with his arm. The other two rookies are playing in the Industrial League. Outfielder “Tiny” Wenzel of Washington Ter- minal and Pitcher Ralph Young of Loffler are proving outstanding per- formers in their respective departments. Wenzel, though handicapped by his size, or lack of size, nevertheless has been hitting well end handling what drives come his way, while Young has won both of his starts on the mound. L HEN a sandlot team gets the idea that it can't lick another one there's no use even playing.” commented an observer at the D. C. pair.Commerce game last Monday. “Last year,” he continued, “D. C. Re- pair ran away with the Departmental League pennant, Commerce finishing second. Whenever Commerce had a chance to gain, the Repairmen would lick ‘em until by the second series, Commerce was beaten every time by D. C. though winning from the rest of the clubs. “This season Leon Riley plh’:he«: tlh: e for Commerce and lef Wm“?mmps with no hits and no runs. And look what Commerce did today, beat ’em again. It's just the reverse of last year now.” THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, Weidman, Ackman | Bowling Victors ALTIMORE, Md, ‘Washington bowlers won both the men’s and women's cham- pionships in a roll-off of the cham- plons of tournaments conducted during the season just ended by newspapers, the Washington event having been sponsored by The Star.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 23.—Instead of wait- ing until the end of the present pen= nant race to select a successor to their late president, Ernest S. Barnard, American League club owners, today called a meeting for next Wednesday at Cleveland to choose their new leader. The election will be held at noon in the Cleveland Hotel, two months to the from President Barnard's sudden th at Rochester, Minn. More than a score of names have been mentioned in connection with the presidency, although it was understood that Willlam Harridge, former private cretary to the late Byron Bancroft Johnson and league secretary under the Barnard administration, was an almost certain choice. Harridge has been in close contact with American League affairs since 1910 when he quit his job routing American League players on Johnson’s favorite railroad line and be- came his private secretary. Connic Mack, manager and grand old man of the world champion Phila- delphia Athletics, and Billy Evans, gene eral manager for the Cleveland In- dians, have been mentioned among the neminees, but both were understood to have advised their present work pre- cluded any chances for acceptance even if the presidency were offered. Frank J. Navin, owner of the Detroit Tigers, who has been acting president since Barnard's death, long ago an- nounced that he wouldn’t consider the post because he would have to sell out his interest in the Tigers to accept. .

It will be recalled that in 1930 the title | was to be decided in an annual tourna. ment, in the same manner that practi- cally 'all other sectional championships are decided throughout the country. | ‘The local tournament of that year had eight entries, and, when a difference of | mlnlon arose on the question whether | e winner of the tourney might be | challengeable for the title thereafter, a majority of the players voted against it. “With the District League in actual being at the beginning of the present | year, a committee was appointed to| manage the championship tournament for 1931, and it was decided by the committee that this year the winner | might be challenged, such challenge to come under the management of the | league in the same manner as the | tournament itself. A tournament among | any group of players to establish, by | elimination, a challenger is entirely a | | private matter, but for any group to Ideclde‘ in the face of the great number | lo( other players in the entire district and the league representing their com- mon interests, is another matter. | | “As far as’ I know, the District of | Columbia Chess League has taken mo | official action to alter the matter, which | to summarize, stands as follows: F.
