failure to-day.

LEAGUE MATTERS.

LEAGUE MATTERS.
At the meeting of the directors of the Eastern
New England League Wednesday evening, after
considerable discussion in regard to the game OF
Tuesday between the Portlands and Lawrences,
Mr.. Burnham was allowed 80 per cent of the re-
ceipts of both Tuesdays and Wednesdays re-
ceipts. The directors then kindly allowed the
Portlands to remain in the league although by re-
tusng to play visiting club they had forfeited
their position under the present admirable set of
rules the same which in certain cases, take the
umpire from one of the contesting clubs
Having settled these matters to their satisfac-
ton, the directors next turned their attention to
the game which the Portlands refused to play ON
the day of the Grant obsequies and the matter Of
forfeit was left to the NewburypOrt and Portland
associations. This evidently meant that the game
may be played at some future time.
Before taking up these vexed matters the direc-
tors eXonerated Secretary Wiggin from charges
OF neglect to appoint umpires and also passed
vote imposing fine of five dollars on umplres
who fail TO appear and cannot give satisfactory
reasons for their failure.
