on winning the peHaant by taking these
contests on the play-off, and 1t is no
secret that the New York aveiue boys
are very much disappointed at the re-
suit OF last nights confab.
The policy of awarding games at meet
ings is a bad one, and for once the d.
reetors of the Independence League APP
parently acted in a wise manner When
a protest seems to be a fair one, II is
the policy 10 order the game played over.
