evening at 2nd and Tatnall SITS. 1t will be
an important session, as matters touching
on the vitality Of the League will be
brought up. There was talk of poatponing
the meeting until tomorrow evening, but
as the president has taken no action, It will
be held tonight, Notwithstanding the
Americas and Qulckstep representatives de-
sire It changed. According TO all accounts,
the matter Of the Americas Seaford game
will be brought up. This is a matter which
will require good Judgment and sense. 1t
should not be treated lightly, but freely
and above board. The Americus team
claim, very decidedly, that il they had re-
ceived fair play in the game they would
have been victorious. They say that 1t WAS
made up beforehand to give the game to
Seaford. The Seaford men claim that il
was a fair battle, and that they won
squarely. TIE other league clubs are dis
posed to view the whole affair with indif-
ference. The Wilmingtons. with brotherly
antsgouism to the Americus. say that the
club was treated as fairly as possible. The
Quickstep holds neutral position on the
subject. At the meeting not only viii the
contested game be talked about, but the
matter OF the various clubs breaking the
rules will be brought up, and il Is under
stood that nearly all the clubs have charges
aud countercharges to bring against each
other. To marshal such a meeting so as to
act to the good Of the League will be deli
cate matter. requiring a great deal Of tact
aud discretion. Steady, members of the
Delaware State Lssgue. Be careful.
