Afhdavits of Crookedness.

Attached to MS complaint are anids-
Wits purporting to have been signed By
two men whose names are given as
speer aud Saunders, in which they
charge that Smathers knew that Lou
Dillon was drugged when he drove Major
Delmar past the famous trotter and won
the s.. 900 cup and $4,000 in cash. George
W. SpeeT was Smat theirs trainer at that
time. and a man named Saunders also
WAS In his employ. II is the impression
that these TWO are the men who have
signed the affidavits
Sms theirs Is furious al the accuse ton
that has been made and declared today
that he would fight the case TO a bitter
finish He declares that If Lon Dillon
vas dTUgged he never knew anything
about a. Lou Dillon, he says was the
fayorite in the race and IL any person

Teams Not REPRESENTATIVE.

The announcement that these clubs
would drop out comes somewhat as a
surprise TO many. although il has been
rumored for some time that the officials
of the league were dissatisfied with the
way things had been running. and that
some such action would be taken
While the clubs have met with greal
success both financially and as base
ball organization. the pastors OF the diff
ferent churches have expressed them
selves against IL since the chief object
Of the plan has failed, in that the teams
were nor composed of representa- tive
men from the Institutions on whose
hines they played. In a great many
cases men have attended the schools
only the uumber Of times that the
Eligibility rules required, and in other
instances not enough even 10 comply

APPEARS DOOMED
Six Clubs Withdraw, and
Others May Go.
OBJECTS NOT ACCOMPLISHED

Scholars Were Benefited by

OBJECTS NOT ACCOMPLISHED

At = meeting of the officials of the
Sunday School Baseball League last
night in the offices Of President Provost,
AT SO + street northwest, representa-
ttves from no less than six schools on
eially announced that the clubs from
their respective churches would with
draw from the league
The churches which have already de-
cided not 10 join the league this year are
Calvary BAPTIST, St. Stephens, Mt
Pleasant Congrs gatiOnai. Guriey. Guntcn
Temple, and Fourth Presbyterian. This
. leaves only three teams certain to re-
main. ds Foundry. Mt. Vernon, First

Some Would Continua.

President Provost stated that for these
reasons The me1 who planned and kept
the league in existence have become
greatly discouraged. and that 10 con,
tfnue under those circumstances would
conflict directly with the first principles
which -he organization was intended to
instil. Although this view OF the case
Is taken by some there are others who
are anxious that The league be kept
alive. and accordingly a committee was
appointed bN the latter TO take imme
date steps toward preserving the rem
rants OF the former organization and to
arrange TO organize three other clubs
which viii give the association Il mem
beTship OF six. If this can be done.
AID those Il the head OF the plan are
sure or success. a six club schedule will
Immediately be adopted. and the new
league run in the same manner as Iast
year.
The action taken by the ciubs which
withdrew followed several meetings held
at the J. NJ & A by the pastors Of
the different churches al which the
/ situation was thoroughly discussed from
he standpoint of whether or not the
! league had been a success in bringing
q larger number Of young men into the
sunday schools From the action taken
last evening IL is evident that they are
OF the opinion that the league has not
/ been decidedly beneficial either 10 the
c4sNF hes or to the young men
