CLAIMED BY TWO CLUBS.
Status of Several Church League
PLAYERS to Be Settled.

The Church Base Ball League, having
announced the roster of its players and
its schedule of games the board Of gov
errors are now at work arranging the
minor details and finishing up the clearing
off of their new playing grounds.
One of the questions now up before
President Carpenter and his associates is
the settlement Of the claims of some Of
the teams for the services of certain play
ers. In the list as published in last Sun
days Star several of the players are put
down for two teams. and the board of di-
rectors are now passing on the question
which club is entitled to the players?
A meeting was held Monday night but
few attended. and the question Of the eli
gibility of the disputed players was not
settled. President Carpenter is emphatic
in his declaration that, the eligibility of
a player once settled. he means to en-
force the rule strictly, and the slightest
infraction will cause the guilty party to
be relegated to the bench and ultimate
suspension from play in Church League
contests.
The Church League will prevent its
players from wearing the uniform of any
of it's teams when playing outside the
league circuit. This Is done to prevent a
player from wearing the uniform Sun
days and playing on the open lots
against some Of the Independent
clubs. Quite scandal was caused year
or so ago by one of the pitchers OF the
Church League team going out on the
commons one Sunday and playing a game
while wearing the uniform of a Sunday
School League team. This will not he tO!-
Grated in the future.
There will be a meeting OF the league
officials tomorrow night at the home Of
President Carpenter. when all unfinished
business will be closed up.
