THE BASE
BALL GAMES.
Final Game Of the Lacka
wanna League Played on
Saturday Afternoon.
PASTIMES WIN BOTH GAMES,

Whether Dover or Summit is the
champion of the Lackawanna Baseball
League bids fair to become one of the
mysteries of the game that win re-
quire wiser Solons than the executive
committee Of the league to decide.
BY defeating Morristown Saturday
summit ties Doyer's record for the
season. and wishes to let the title rest
upon "a series with the Morris county
team. On the other hand, Dover
claims that as the season closed on
September is Saturdays match can
not be'counted in the years standing,
according to a rule adopted by the
National Commission.
The twenty-firSt article of the Lack
awanna Leagues bylaws covers this
point. Dover maintains, by stating
that no game shall be counted in the
standing after the seasons close. If
the league supports this contention,
Dover will be the champion'of the or
ganization. Morristown's protest Of a
game called by the umpire a week ago
can not be sustained, as the national
rules state that from an umpire's de-
ciSion on the calling Of the game on
account Of darkness no appeal can be
taken. 1t is the intention of Dover
to "stand pat''o on their claims to the
championship and carry the matter,
which is becoming greatly involved,
into the courts for decision if neces-
sary.
That Dover has taken this stand
has met with approval from some per-
sons not interested directly in the for
tunes Of either club, while others
maintain that in the interest OF the
sport the Morris county team should
play a series with Summit on neutral
grounds, Morristown or Orange, to de-
eide the question to the satisfaction
of all concerned.
Summit S case is as strong as that
of Dover. In a game a week or so ago,
the Phillipsburg team used Keyes, a
MoEristown player, in a game against
Dover violation of league rule.
This game was protested, and, accord
ing TO well-known authorities should
be thrown out, as should also be the
game played at Summit Saturday
AS the protest against the Dover
MQrristown game called by the um-
pire can not be sustained, according
to all rules now in force in baseball on
the subject, the league would natural
ly appear to be tie between Summit
and Dover, with nineteen games won
and seven lost, a percentage of .731.
The logical solution is series ON
neutral grounds.

ago that in Morris you were very har-
moniOus, while in Essex we had our
little excitement. 1t is very true
that we had our little excitement at
the primaries, but as a resident of
Essex and a Republican / will assure
you that we will present a solid front

September 2 at Summit on Saturday
afternoon in one of the best games
played there this season by the score
Of 3 to i. The local team played an
errorless game, but could not bat at
the right time when hits meant runs.
Speer pitched for the locals and was
hit for nine safe drives, while Linde-
man allowed the Morristown combina-
tion six hits, including two doubles.
For five innings the best the locals
could do with Lindeman's delivery
was one hit, double by Courtney, but
in the sixth session they managed to
switch in two hits which netted the

With two out in this inning, West
