SOME CONTENTION
IN DEPARTMENTAL
Manager Strain, of Commits
sionerS, Thinks Officials
Rule Too Closely.

That the newcomers in the Depart
mental League are being hazed by the
DO ard of directors is the belief of Maa-
az er Strain. of the Commissioners.
Some time ago Manager Strain made
application to the board TO De allowed
to procure several new players for his
team, but his request was refused, on
the ground that the directors did not
approve of the constant changing of
teams in the course OF the season.
President Chance pointed out 10 the
Commissioners that last year q graf
deal of dissension was caused in the
league owing 20 the action of one Of the
teams In constantly putting new players
in the field.
Notwithstanding this statement, il is
the contention OF Manager Strain that
some OF the teams in he league have
been permitted to bring in new players,
and that It is only against the Co.nmis-
sio- srs that the ruling has been en-
forced. The Commissioners claim that
IT Is apparent from any lineup that
changes are constantly being made in
ths various teams, and that these
changes are not entirely restricted to
the weaker teams.
Manager Strain asserts that a. a re-
suit OF the stand OF the officials he has
been unable to take advantage OF sew
eral opportunities to acquire good ball
players. who have recently entered the
service.
The supporters of the Commissioners
are said to be greatly exercised over
their treatment. and attribute their re-
cent defeats TO the discrimination of the
directors. These friends say the beating
at the hands of Interior was due to the
action OF the board in permitting In
| terror to play new men, while the Com
missioneTs were refused the privilege.
1t Is claimed that the Commissioners
have the nucleus OF a good team, and
with very few changes could make some
of the leaders hustle to retain their
places.
Secretary John II. Anderson, when
seen this morning, stated that there was
nothing in the contention OF the Com
missioners, and that the directors were
not discriminating against any team il
the matter OF new players. He stated
that the Commissioners had a good
team, but had been a little unfortunate
/ of late, but that as soon as they got
/ out of their present slump they would
undo ubtedly win many games
