WESTERN MINOR LEAGUE.
Encouragement Possible Owing t

CLEVELAND. Ohio, July 22.-The Pro-
tective Association of Base Ball Clubs, COM
posed of Ohio and Pennsylvania cities. has
been admitted to the national agreement.
All the men now playing with the teams
will be allowed to remain. Third Baseman
Phyle of Youngstown, however, must clear
himself of charges preferred against him
because of his statement several years ago
that the Memphis CTenn) Southern League
team had thrown a game, and 1t Is under
stood that he will go before the Southern
League and make retraction of the state
ment
AS the result of conference of base ball
officials in this city the complexion of sew
eral OF the minor base ball leagues may be
changed before another season rolls around
At present there are four leagues which
geographically conflict. These are the
Iowa, Three I, Central and the new league
which was admitted to membership by the
executive board of the National Associa-
ton yesterday. The Central League Is at
present composed of Canton, Dayton and
Springfield. Ohio: Wheeling, w. Va; Terre
Haute. South Bend and Evansville. Ind.
and Grand Rapids, Mich. In the Three
League are Cedar Rapids. Davenport and
Dubuque. Iowa. and Rock Island, Peoria,
Bloomington. Springfield and Decatur, H.
In the Iowa League are Boone, Ottumwa,
OskalooSa. Burlington, Fort Dodge, Mar
shalltown, Keokuk and Waterloo, all In
Iowa.
Now it is almost certainty that eight

Protective Association are of the opinion
that It would be good idea to have the
four leagues mentioned above hold meet

Nationals and CAROLS Tie.

At 18th and A streets northeast yester-
day Carroll Institute and the National Ath-
letic Club duplicated the game played by
them some weeks ago. so far as the run
totals go. In the former instance, how
ever. It was the Nationals who played the
uphill game. Yesterday the CAROLS never
could obtain the lead. and not until the
sixth were they able to equal the total of
their opponents. In that inning, however
they sent Quigley to the stable after they
had made five hits in succession, scoring
three runs, and making the game stand
to 5.
In the last two innings Kerr was on the
rubber for the Athletics and held Carroll
down. Dawson pitched the whole game
for the institute and was very effective,
most of the hits and runs being made off
him after the side should have been re-
tired. Errors were responsible for nearly
all Of the Nationals scores.
Fitzpatrick In batting and fielding easily
was superior to his mates and opponents
although Kraft. for the Institute, both hit
and covered his position well. Grants one
chance In left was corking catch of fly
ball and saved the game for his side.
In the last inning it looked as though
the Nationals would surely score and win,
but the third out was made and three men

fine game In the field, but st. Vincent led in
the batting, getting eight safe ones.
ST. Paul took up the stick work first and
with a man on third and second the next

BRUSH OPPOSED TO
AN AMALGAMATION

NEW YORK, July. 2o-John T. Brush.
president of the New York National League
Club. and Frank Farrell. owner of the
American League club here are vigorously
opposed to any plan to merge the two ma
jor leagues and form twelve-club league.
They said today that they would kill any
attempt to re-estabish the old circuit
Il would be fit subject for lunatic
asylum said Mr. Brush, IF I agreed to
amalgamate the National and American
leagues. l would not under any circum-
stances consider proposition to enter into
any copartnership with American League
magnates. l shall oppose and believe 1 can
prevent any attempt to amalgamate the
two leagues"
Mr.. Farrell made the following comment
on the twelve-club question:
after spending more than quarter Of
million dollars to get together first-class
team and establish ourselves here 1t would
be utter folly for me to merge with the
National League. 1 do not believe there is
one magnate in the American organization
who would acquiesce in such scheme. A
merger scheme would not secure my ap-
prevail. Opposition from this quarter GER
tainly would sound quick death knell for
plan to establish twelve-club circuit"

Bailey was on the firing line for the Co

any ordinary game, but the existing con-
ditions were such that 1t would have taken
Young or Chesbro to win. Brown was
on the slab for Foundry, and although
batted hard with men on bases, he would
settle down and luckily was the man who
got a hit. Brown was ably assisted by
Hunt, who caught fine game and besides
cracked double and single.
Quinn was off In his fielding muffing two
easy throws and throwing wild in trying

Aloysius Defeats Columbia A. q.

Two games were played in the Capital
City League yesterday. Carroll Institute
and the National Athletic Club fought each
other to a standstill at the 14th and A
streets grounds. while Columbia Athletic
bowed in defeat to the "disturbers," the
Aloysius club.
Aloysius is contracting a habit Of down.
ing hitherto invincible teams. Two days
ago 1t pulled St. Stephens Institute from
the position at the top which 1t had held
the entire season. Yesterday Columbia
Athletic Club enacted the role OF victim.
This iconoclastfc aggregation from Aloysius
parish Is creating decided impression in
the Capital City League. It has no chance
to win the pennant, but 1t seems deter
mined to prevent any other team from being
successful.
A large crowd gathered at the 9Th and l.
streets grounds to witness Columbia's
downfall The score was 10 to f. At no
stage of the contest was the issue In doubt.
Aloysius was far superior in all depart
ments of the game. Its fielding. particular
ly in the suburban positions. was Of SEN
sational order. The catches Of fly balls
made by Mattingly. Kicker and Handiboe
ELECTED round after round Of applause. One
catch Of Mattingly, especially. when he
hurdled some baby. buggies and dashed over
the right field bank, was great. Mcdonald

was a sensational attempt. Kicker dupli-
Gated this feat.
