Railroad League Notes.

The two games between the Trainmen
and Car Department were postponed be-
cause of the death of the wife of Mr..
Charles Marvel. manager of the car de-
partment. The league and it's band of
followers extend to Mr.. Marvel their
heartfelt sympathies. These games will
be played after the scheduled postponed
games are completed
Walter Hughes of the Southern railroad
outfit has just returned from several
weeks vacation and Is in perfect trim.
1t is expected that Manager Spence will
Monday and also in one of the games .of
the double-header at the American
League Park Saturday. August 81.
Hughes had the Station boys looking silly
in his last game and after the rest he
has had should make them look like a
bunch of sandlotters.
The Southern Railroad and Union sta
ton teams have arranged for double
header to be played at the American
League Park Saturday. August 81. The
first game will commence at 2:3O. Both
contests should be exciting and interest
ing. as these mines have battled three
games this season and in every one the
winners have nOSed out by one run. The
Southern team will be accompanied by a
corps of rooters from the Pennsylvania
office building and the Union Station will
also turn out in full.
o. c. Flynn has been ousted from the
position of official umpire and Cy Tay-
Tor has taken his place with the indicator
Pat was canned after very heated
meeting at the Union station recently
Flynn had won for himself during his
two years of service the name OF an i'm
partial umpire and a promoter of clean
base ball. The decision Of the board OF
managers was far from being unanimous
for Pat had large number of admirers
among whom were several of the manag-
ers.
The Adams team can be looked upon
with the GREATEST of pride having en-
tered the league when the season was
about half over. took the position OF
the tail-end team and in comparatively
| a few weeks worked itself into second
place, but when the Southern took that
great squirt fell back to third. The Ex-
press team was the first to defeat the
Station nine, and accomplished that diff
ficut stunt when 1t had been In the
circuit but few weeks If the Adams
nine had been in the swim when the
season opened things no doubt would
| have looked very much more different
at the head of the first column than
they did when the schedule closed this
year.
Manager Waters thinks that in Brady
| he has a pitcher who can give any of
them a rub for the premier honors. and
| expects to retain him for his team next
year. Waters has also signed Rupert
of the Station and ]. l.. Sullivan Of the
Trainmen for his next years team. The
Adams manager thinks a great deal OF
Sullivan's playing, and with competent
coaching will make Suliy star. 1t must
be remembered that Waters knows the
game thoroughly, having played profess
sional ball with the Yates Independ-
ents when base ball was in the opening
stage.
