The Washington herald., 1907-08-23

The greatest indignation Is being ex-
pressed by members OF the amateur base
ball commission at what they consider
an unwarranted newspaper criticism of
the conduct Of the post-season champion
ship series at National Park.
Several Of the delegates held an in
formal meeting yesterday and the ques-
ton Of taking some official action on the
criticism was discussed, but it was finally
decided to ignore it and go ahead and
make the series d success.
The writer of that article said a
member Of the commission, is abso-
lutely unfamiliar with the true state Of
affairs, and the facts are 50 far from cor
rect that there IS little probability Of the
commission considering the criticism se-
riously.
The article opens by comparing the at
tendance Of the opening game last sea-
son and the one this year, and comes
forth with the remarkable statement that
there were nearly 2.O00 present last Sep
tember and only 400 Wednesday Now,
for the sake OF the information Of those
who are interested IN the series. 7 viii
say that the books Of the 1906 commission
viii show that there were not more than
1000 spectators at any Of the games last
year. with the exception Of the day the
tie was played OF, when about 300 fans
turned out Even though the article
makes no mention that there was every
indication Of a storm Wednesday. it is
correct when it says that there were
scarcely 40 at the game, but the attend
anee Of last years opened was less than
half the figures given by the writer
Delegates Authorized.
One Of the worst statements against
the commission Is that it Is self-appoint-
co. when. as a matter Of fact, the dele
gates were authorized by their respective
leagues. while two Of the three officers
were elected while they were away on
their vacations
''The charge that valuable time has been
lost in arranging for the series is with
out foundation. According 10 the article,
the affairs last year were conducted In g
most businesslike way As matter Of
fact. il was necessary 10 hold meeting ar
ter meeting, without making any real
headway. and so bitter was the feeling
which was engendered that insinuatlons
Of peculiar handling Of the funds came
near breaking Up the whole proceedings
OF the commission. In fact, az one yiule
il appeared as though the whole affair
would be broken I'D by a fist sight That
was the feeling which peuaded last
years meetings.
The delays that have resulted this
year have been due entirely 90 the action
Of certain parties getting lease on the
bali park IN the hope Of forcing a certain
cup on the commission. This cup We. Ior
reasons which we deemed sufficient, de-
clined nor would we accept a proposition
from the same parties 10 sublet 70 the com
mission the park az a cheaper sum than
the lease called for.
