o. Etienne Of Berwyn. Geo. M. Bond of
Laurel and M. D. Baker Of Hyattsville,
met yesterday afternoon in Washington for
the purpose of the adjustment of certain
differences that have arisen regarding for
feited and postponed games. The fight for
the pennant is becoming intensely interest
ing. and the outcome will depend upon the
action Of the managers relative to these
games. Berwyn claims a game in which
Hyattsville played Barnes, Berwyn
player, contending that he was not regu-
larly released by Berwyn as required by
the rules Of the league. Hyattsville won
the game. The Berwyn team also claims
another game in which 1t is alleged the
Hyattsville team failed to appear on the
field. Manager Baker of Hyattsville claims
that this game was postponed by agree
ment with the management Of the Berwyn
team on account of several HyattsviIle
players being away. The managers yes
terday appointed an arbitration committee
to be composed Of the four league umpires
and fifth man to be chosen by these UNI
pires Each side Is to prepare briefs, and
the decision of the committee is awaited
with considerable interest. Hyattspille
now has commanding lead In the race,
but II the two games they won from Ber-
wyn are thrown out and Laurel or Berwyn
wins a majority Of the games to be played
they will stand poor show Of landing the
flag. Laurel plays Berwyn a postponed
game at the latter place today. Hyatts-
Vile has three more regularly scheduled
games to play. one with Laurel and two

nothing to 1t after the second inning when
Atchison started the game toward the re-
frigerator by drawing a pass. Pomeroy
was hit and McKenney helped the cause
along by a neat sacrifice. Singles by Con-
nor and King. with Warmou's sacrifice
sandwtched in, turned the trick and scored
four runs.
Capt. King shook up his batting order
with good results and sent "Erny" Atchi-
SON in the box for try-out, giving a
rest to Sheckles. who has been working
hard and successfully, having won nearly
all Of Foundry's games.
Atchison proved his all-round worth by
swirling splendid shut-out game, LaFoe,
Kane and Usflton being the only ones to
find him for a safety.
King continued his batting streak, getting
two singles and double, and DOC" Ponce

The game was loosely played throughout,
players on both teams falling down on easy
chances. King on second, however, took
his seven changes without a slip up and
two of them were difficult. Conner, who

ball. He stabbed several hummers and then

The contest was one Of the most interest

he also allowed Reagan to score the tying

Up until the last inning Holy Name had
outplayed st. Patrick at every angle, and
deserved to be the winners. Cook and Daily
hooked up into pitchers battle from the
outset, and although the former had the
most strike-outs to his credit, Daily pitched
just as creditable a game, and had the
heavy-hitting st. Patricks pretty well
fooled.

also made good catches. MarcerOn's catch

leaving Boston they will have the hardest
kind OF q job to retain the lead. for they
ara bound to have their own troubles with
Cleveland, Detroit and st. Louis.
So far as the Athletics and the New
FORKS are concerned, their chances appear
to be about equal. Neither has any advan-
tage in the matter Of dates. Each has got
to make round trips through the western
circuit and each has series to play with
the other Clubs in the east With the luck
of the game even, 1t will be question OF
stamina.
There Is no intelligent dope on the Cleve-
landers. There is no telling what that err
ratio bunch will do at any stage Of the
game. They are apt to run like house
affre, as they did In their last eastern
trip, or are apt to get in their doldrums, as
they did in their last stay at home.
It is this tantalizing uncertainty OF the
result in the American League race that
has aroused the interest In base ball to
pitch never known before.

FOOLISH STORY
FROM THE WINDY CITY

CHICAGO, August 17.-It Is reported here
that President John T. Brush OF the Giants
Is planning to jump his base ball holdings
from the New York National League club
to the American League club. blocking the
older league out of New York and virtually
wrecxing the organization. This is the be-
lief Of men high in base ball politics since
the announcement of the Giants suit for
damage against the Chicago club yester-
day.
This move Is the climax of long series
of bitter quarrels in which the New York
National League club has been pitted
against the entire organization, and taken
a. such a time 1t is believed to be only
a deliberate move to widen the breach and
leave clearer the path for the leap from
the old league to the new.
At no time since the national agreement
was signed has a ball club within the pale
OF base ball law gone into the civil courts
to settle its troubles with another club,
excepting the now historic McGraw-Drey-
fus scandal which shook the National
League to its foundation.
It is pointed out that. If wronged. Presi.
dent Brush could easily have secured full
damages before the national commission,
and his ignoring base ball law without
even giving 1t chance is taken as an In
dication of his intention to harass the old
league as much as possible.
Should President Brush and his hackers
buy out the American League stockholders
in New York, 1t would practically end the
life of the National League.
The National League club now controls
the Polo grounds and Manhattan Field.
the only available sites for ball parks on
Manhattan Island with the exception of
American League Park. By buying Mr..
Farrel's club. the Brush organization would
hold the base ball situation in New York
at its mercy and would leave the National
League only barren franchise and the
players of the club.
Mr.. Brush and his associates, 1t Is point
ed out, could leave the National League
high and dry and still avoid violation Of
the national agreement. Should President
Brush see fit to take his players. backed by
the American League. and holding mo-
nopoly of New York base ball, successful
war could certainly be waged against the
National League.
It ds pointed out that unless the New
York club has some trump card still to
play 1t would hardly have def1ed the league
president and constitution, run rough-shod
over the rights Of other clubs until in
league meetings the other seven units vote
as one against the New York club, and
then topped 1t off with the unforgdveable
crime against base ball ethics. an appeal
to the civil courts on a matter that could
be settled by the courts Of organized base
ball
It Is q matter of common knowledge In
base ball circles that since the McGraw-
Dreyfus incident and President Brush's
appeal to civil law for redress, the mag
mates Of the National League have been
cold to New York

AMERICAN LEAGUES
FINE REMNANT RACE

Never In the history Of base ball has
there been such nerve-racking finish as
that which now marks the race for the
American League pennant.
With only thirty points separating the
first club-Chicago-from the fourth club
C.eveland-the naming of the winner is a
pure matter Of guesswork.
Say that the Chicagos play and lose four
gains. while the Clevelanders play and win
the same number. Then the Napoleons will
be In front OF the Sox, .5S1 to .573.
This gives fairly ineligible idea of
the closeness OF the race. Unless one Of
the four leaders should develop an ex-
ceptional burst Of speed-such as the Chi
Cages did In their last stand at home-the
fight for the flag will be continued into
the last week of the season, the same as
for three seasons back, but with this diff
ference. that instead Of two teams fight

1t Is matter of base ball history though,
that every club has its winning and its
