Capital City Base Ball League Wants
Amateur Code Changed,

At meeting of the Capital City Base
Ball League yesterday afternoon at the
Century Building the committee COM
posed of T. J.. Fortune, chairman: n. T.
Leclare and +. T. Walfook gave its re-
port regarding the question whether the
league should adopt the rules of the
amateur commission of the District Of
Columbia.
The report of the committee is:
The committee on the ACCESSIBILITY of
commission Of the District of Columbia,
after a careful examination and analysis
of the constitution and rules for the pay
ing season of said commission, arrives at
the conclusion that for the best interests
of amateur base ball in general and the
Capital City League, it would be mad
visable to place the Capital City League
under the jurisdiction of theamateur base
ball commission. as at present consti-
tuted.
THE CAPITAL City League is in favor of
an amateur commission IL 1t can be so
constructed as to have It composed of
three or five disinterested parties, to-
gether with a secretary or recorder who
shall not have the privilege of a vote. A
commission so constructed would be In a
position to guarantee to each and every
league that desired to join it that it's de-

iority of leagues could formulate rules.
decide points of controversy. and. in fact,
control not only the working of the COM
mission, but Of the different leagues
themselves. taking away from said
leagues many Of their inherent powers.
At present the different presidents who
compose the commission can by a combi-
nation, work any injustice that they so
desire, and pass any rules that they
wish.
Rule 3 of the amateur commission
states that no player or manager shall
receive money or thing of value. promise
of remuneration. or valuable considera-

WALTER JOHNSON HERE.
Star Twirler Arrived in Wash.
ington This Afternoon.

Walter Johnson, the star twirler
of the Nationals. arrived in Wash
ington shortly after 1 o'clock this
afternoon from the home of his
uncle at Coffeyville. Kan.
Johnson was met at the Union
station by friend and took a
taxicab to the Engle Hotel for din
ner. He was seen at the hotel by
a Star representative. When asked
how he was telling, the big twirler
said: Il am ready to go in and pitch
now. l have been doing some little
work out on the coast during the
winter and got in good condition.
When / started east l stopped to
visit my uncle in Coffeyville, and
while there suffered a slight attack
of the grip. 1 soon got over it,
however, and now am feeling fine.
Il don't expect to have any
trouble in signing up. I returned
my contract to President Moves,
but I will call to see him late this
afternoon and think that every
thing will he all right"
Regarding Hendricks. the young
twirler whom Manager McAleer
saw work out on the coast, and
whom he told Johnson to sign up
for the Washington team, John
son said he would be here in June.
He would not sign a contract
yet said Johnson, ''as he is still
in school and wants to graduate
before he becomes a professional.
He certainly is a fine pitcher and
l am sure he will make good. He
is larger than ! am and in the
games I saw him work he showed
up fine"

eligible to participate in the post-season
series and liable to other penalties as the
commission may fix" This rule, IL car
| ried into effect would be the greatest
, form for the amateur base ball leagues OF
the District of Columbia: but is such a
rule possible? We do not think So AS
long as the managers of the various
teams that compose the different leagues
have considerations to offer players with
regard to positions for their ability as a
Dall player such a rule Is impractical as
we'll as impossible.
Farther on in said rule it is stated that
H. after formal charges have been pre-
sented to the commission for violation of
rule. the player or manager shall be i'm
mediate1y suspended pending hearing of
the charge. and until he has proved his
innocence. This portion works a great in
team he is playing with, because il any
| manager would present a signed state
ment containing the charge the player
would thus be Immediately suspended and
the team would be without his services,
| and by SO being would possibly lose its
chances for pennant and IL the player
proved his innocence there is no penalty
| for the wrong that has not only been COM
mitted against the player. but the team
which has equally been the sufferer OF
said wrong.
I'm this rule there again appears this
unlimited power of the presidents Of the
leagues-they could by majority vote
| refuse to let the matter go to arbitration
and decide the points themselves. The
Capital City League is in favor of anna.
| teurism in its purest sense, and will be
| found extending its best efforts to render
the base ball situation in this city simon
pure
There are various rules which the
amateur commission has fostered which
are entirely unnecessary as well as un-
productive Of any good. and we seem to
think that If the commission would adopt
fewer rules for the present and then in
| crease as the necessity of more rules
| would appear. the situation would be
| easily handled, because to carry out the
rules as laid down by the commission
would be too big a job to handle success
fully"

which time she appeared to be feeling
about as usual.
When Coroner Donehoo was notified he
decided to hold an inquest over the re-
MAINS as no one saw her death. The
jury was in session but a short time, re-
turning a verdict of death from Bright's
disease, after hearing from the physician.
For the past few days Mrs. Louise CHM
had been in bad health and was being
treated for dropsy. She was feeling fair
ly well late Wednesday afternoon, though
physician was called. Upon leaving,
late in the afternoon, he left medicine
with instructions to Mr.. CHM as to how
to administer it. During the early part
of the night he was up several times to
administer dose of the medicine and al
ways found his wife in an improved con-
dition.
At 1 o'clock he gave her a dose of medi-
cine and retired. The instructions call
ed for the next dose at . o'clock and IL
was when Mr.. CHM awoke at this hour
that he found his wife dead. She was
in the bed alone at the time of her death
and no one knows just at what hour
she died. She was not heard to utter
any cries of pain prior to her death,
which is believed to have occurred at
least an hour before the lifeless body was
discovered by her husband.
The death of Mrs. CHM leaves her hus-
band with four young children. the old
est just five years of age. Besides her
husband Mrs. Ginnn is survived by five
children, her mother and a number of
relatives in Athens, Ga.
The funeral arrangements have not yet
been made, though the body will probably
be taken to Athens for funeral services
and interment.
