LOWRY STILL GUIDES
THE BAY CITIES
LEAGUE
President and Secretary BraCk-
EFT Deny Having Left the
Association

Herbert G.. Lowry, president, and
Billy Bracket, secretary, of the Bay
Cities league, are out with an emphatic
denial that they have severed their
connections with the association. In
speaking of the matter last night.
Lowry said: II did not resign as

night Henry Heitmuller was placed in
the chair, and a blanket resolution was
put through accepting my resignation,
and another ousting Bracket from the
secretaryship. This was Illegal and
irregular, for no charges had been pre-
ferred against the secretary, and he
had had no hearing on the matter at
all.
.'As the matter now stands, Brackett
league. and both of US have worked
hard to promote clean amateur base
ball. This we intends to do, and the
rowdy, and the gambler can not entei'
into the Bay Cities league. If Solari,
Pidge, Heitmuller, Soracco, Forrest and
Fraser want to come into the new
organization on the basis that they play
clean ball, eliminate their professional
regulations. well and good; otherwise
they can go off into the country and
play and bet on their games as much
as they like, but not as members of
the Bay Cities league.
Regardless Of the decision of those
directors Monday night the league will
go on the same. Secretary Brackett
has so applications from teams who
want to come into the league, and, re-
gardless of the actions of the directors,
there viii be baseball Saturday and
be the president of the league, and
Bracket will still be the secretary"

stretch. Then Montgomery ran away
from Dominus and won by almost three
lengths. Hildreth had big bet down
on his winner.

Then suddenly Dorando staggered
and dropped. Longboat finished alone.
