They Celebrate the Twenty second Birthday
OF Their Association-omcers Elected.
The East Washington Citizens Association
celebrated its twenty-eecond birthday last
evening and entered upon its new year under
suspicious circumstances. Is was in October
$50, that the association first organized. and
IN calling attention 10 its age President Bah
son reviewed the work il had accomplished and
the great good that hsd been done the eastern
section of the city through lite influences, The
association was in favor with the power, that
be. was demonstrated in the careful consid-
GRAFTON given the Recommendation Of the COM
mittee on streets. avenues and alleys for i'm
provement during the next fiscal year.
Ii devolved upon the secretary, after several
matters of routine business had been con-
cluded. TO call attention 20 that clause in the
constitution requiring annual election Of
officers on the first Monday in October.
Mr.. +. A. Lehman moved that the secretary
cast the vote of the association for its old Off
GERS. He supplemented his motion with short
speech in which he praised the individuals, who.
with no other consideration than that which
comes from a consciousness Of duty web per-
formed. had so cheerfully and faithfully filed
the positions assigned them.
The motion was carried. not only unani-
mously, but with vigorous applause. and the
secretary announced that the officers elected
were: President, J. W. Babson; secretary. A. f.
Sperry; treasurer. NJ l. Weller.
President Bebson thanked the association for
the hopor Of again choosing hum as their presi-
dent When one year ago he assumed the
duties OF the Office he determined to give il his
best efforts. The association had prospered.
The membership had increased and but one
death had occurred III its ranks. The work
done by the association well known and II
was gratifying to look back and note the result
OF their labors.
Mr.. Nj. |. Weller also thanked the ASSOCIATION
Tor rejecting him TO the position Of treasurer.
Ii was his eighth year as custodian Of the funds
and II was constant source Of pleasure TO
serve such representative body Of men. The
association was free of debt and there was not
the slightest chance Of it going into the hands
| OF a receiver
President Babson eulogized the reelection of
Mr.. A. r. Sperry as secretary. In his expert
ence ne had been connected with a number Of
organizations, but had never seen the equal OF
MI. Sperry as secretary. His books were CON-
plete in every detail and was a record true in
every detail
1t was decided to do away with the special
notification OF members by mail and instead in
sert notices in The STAR and Post The two
vacanies in the executive committee were filed
by the appointment OF Messrs. J. W. Brown
and F. A. Lehman. The meeting then ad

A small number Of persons saw an alleged
representation Of the national game at National
Park yesterday afternoon, participated in by
the Washington and Baltimore teams 1t was
enough to disgust any lover Of sport. The
Detroits and Y. N. c. A. today ought to play
more creditable game. The home team hit
Cobb's delivery with ridiculous ease and the
visitors didn't appear to care much any way
The result was Is TO 5.

The magnates have the upper hand now and
the players are realizing it. In order to save

teams have been given their release. According
to their contracts they are entitled to pay to

Baltimore certainly presented the poorest
team yesterday the oriole city has ever sent
here. In Cross. their new short, they have the
worst in the league.

chiefly for its wildness.

notices of their release last evening. The papers
were served on the players named at the close

and went into effect Mt once. President Day
explained the causes leading to the disciplining
OF the men by saying that when in the early
part OF the season every club in the league cut

the only members Of the New York team who
refused to accept the cut proposed by the New

NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE.
Secretary Morse Says the League Will Finish
With Eight Clubs.

Bosro~, June 22.--in answer to ru-
mored weakness in some of the New Eng
land clubs. Secretary Morse said today :
The prospects for success among the New
England clubs was never better than this
wear There is not club that il not with
in the salary limit. and the clubs paying the
highest salaries have not profited by il at
all ! do not think there IL the least doubt
in the matter We will play this season out
with eight clubs The race is one of the
best ever seen in New England. The clubs
are doing fine work.
At the present writing. the eighth club is
but seven victories behind the leader and
the season is not half over 4 good squirt
would quickly bring this club among the
leaders. The Lewiston club is doing
spIendidEy Very few clubs are getting
the support from their public that they
ought to have Manchester showed mp very
strongly AT the start, and for some time
afterwards. but even with the club winning
and playing wonderful ball the support is
ANYTHING hut encouraging.
1t will he too bal if such organization
i. allowed to leave that city. but | think
there will not be the least difficulty in find
ing several clubs who will be willing to
take the Manchester franchise. 1t ia not
like tail ender leaving the race. The
Pawtucket people tell me they are in the
fight to stay to the finish and there ia not
the least doubt about any other club"
