MARQUETTE LEAGUE NOTES.

The board of directors held a meeting at the
Center Market Armory Friday evening and abol-
ished the eligibility rule. which had barred play
ers in the Marquette League from playing with an
other league. This was done after only the Mar
quette had fought a hard fight against the other
local organizations and lost out. and even then IL
was abolished only to save the League from col
lapse.
Harry Zanneln, a Marquette League player
with the ST. Martin team last season. made two
home runs in the last game he played with the
Bethany Baptist team OF the Sunday School
League.
Reds Sebastian banged out four neat hits In
the game with the st. Vincent team at George
town Friday.
The league intends to erect benches along the
side lines on the Georgetown grounds for the COM
fort OF the spectators.
All the games Of the Marquette League will
hereafter be played Georgetown instead OF
three days week at each grounds.
The league has been much annoyed by the delay
in the arrival of the suits Trinity and st. Jo-
seph, the last two teams TO get theirs. will have

the students went ahead when five runners

FACULTY could do was to get two hits and
no runs: In the remaining three innings
the Students got q run each. One runner
got home for the winners in the seventh

they would not have the Faculty of the
