None Are Ineligible"
The committee in charge Of the ball
game tomorrow afternoon between the
Board Of Trade and the Chamber OF
Commerce says that no formal charges
of ineIgibility of players has been
made. Neither. says the committee in
chorus, has there been intimation that
either of these bodies intend 10 play
any ringers"
However that may be. the fact re
mains that some one who has played
The game before. and who realized
what a chance it would be for such un-
heard Of thing to happen, suggested
that a joint committee be appointed
10 inquire into the status Of all men,
bers and substitutes Of both teams in
order that a game on which so much
depends would not be marred by any
aftercharges.
Today this committee, composed Of
Thomas c. Noyes, Phil King Arthur
y. Marks, Henry Cunningham. DR.. Frank
Gibson, and CunO II. Rudolph met in
the Chamber Of Commerce rooms in
secret conclave, and found that every
one named as player or substitute had
paid his dues and was eligible.
