the Kimball House, all the clubs being
represented except Birmingham. After a
long discussion it was decided that Atlanta
should play with Augusta the deferred
game which was prevented by rain during
the last visit of the Atlanta club to Au-
gusta. Augusta claimed that the game
was due her, and that on it depended the
pennant. She claims that her percentage
to-day is 6.53, while that Of Atlanta is
6 50, but that if abe won the deferred game
her percentage would be $50, thus giving
her the pennant. Atlanta vehemently
protested, and urged that it was against all
baseball precedents to play any deferred
championship games after the closing OF
the League schedule, except as the by
laws required when it was to decide tie.
AS the clubs were not tied, and by resolu-
ton of the directors of the League at the

gusta, the League schedule wss
1t would be an injustice tc
compel Atlanta to jeopardizs her right tc

not play the deferred game, as on The faitf
