Through May and June they've seldom bumped me;
But when ! pass mid-season's view

From the Dirses Of o'Connor.
The board Of arbitration OF the ANA
teur baseball commission OF the District
OF Columbia decided against the Aloysius
club after the protest Of the Churchmen
against the awarding OF the pennant to
the Cornell Company team had been dis
cussed for hours in executive session.
All three points which the Churchmen
tried to establish by their evidence sub
mitted were not sustained, and the Cor
nell Company was not only INDICATED
OF the charge made by the Aloysius club
that ineligible men had been used. but
the protest Of Manager Cornell in regard
10 the playing OF Lynch with Aloysius
was sustained. and the games in which
he participated were declared forfeited.
BY the findings OF the board. the Cor
nell team is not only declared the winner
OF the championship in the Capital City
League, but the Paperhangers are re-
heved Of the many charges preferred
against them by their rivals for first
place in the North Capitol street league.
1t was found that Moran, Byrd, aud
Norris, OF Cornell Company, were engi-
bic to play, and had filed their releases
and waited the three days before playing
with the Capital City Leaguers, as pro-
vided in the constitution OF the commits
sion; that Manager Cornell was not re-
sponsible for the fight with Jack Carr.
and that this matter had been attended
to in the Capital City League, and there
fore ii was unnecessary for the board 10
take action in the matter and that the
failure 10 finish out the season IN the
Capital City League was no more the
fault Of Manager Cornell than II was OF
the other managers and the president of
the league
The official decision Of the board in re-
gard to the protest Of the Aloysius club
is as follows
The Aloysius Club. OF the Capital City |
League. protests against the award OF
the pennant to the club Of the Cornell /
Company on the ground of ineligibiity Of |
players Moran. Byrd. and Norris because |
Of their having played in three leagues |
under the organization OF the amateur /
baseball commission.
Upon investigation, the arbitration |
board finds that Moran was realised to
the Cornell club on June 20 and recorded
with the secretary on June q. Byrd was
released and duly recorded with the sec
rotary Of the commission by the st. Mar
tin club. Of the Independence League.
70 Cornell Company on June q. and Nor
ris by the Peck club. Of the Sunday
School League. in regular form on June
g. Neither Of these players participated
with the Cornell club until the regulation
period Of three days succeeding their re-
leases. The protest on that ground Is.
therefore. not well taken.
The protest is further made on the
ground that the Cornell team has not yet
played out the schedule adopted by the
committee Of the Capital City League.
Considerable discussion was had relating
TO why this was not done, and il has not
been established 10 our satisfaction that
the Cornell club was any more in fault
than any other club, or the controlling
that league. and 1t has not been shown
TO our satisfaction why the scheduled
season should be extended beyond the
18th OF August TO enable some other club
TO have the possible opportunity Of win
ming the championship in that league
and, therefore, the protest is dismissed
on that score.
The protest is further based upon the
alleged irregular conduct of the manager
or the Cornell team in a game with the
club. which resulted IL the suspension
OF the captain Of the Aloysius Club and
the manager Of the Cornell Club By the
governing body Of the Capital City
League. Whatever the circumstances Of
that case might be, it was investigated
and adjudicated by that league. and there
appears 70 be no reason why this board
should reopen and review the result. be-
cause the only relation It has to the
question Of the championship In that
league is the problematical effect that
the absence Of the captain OF the Alloy
sius Club had upon games which were
played during his absence. It would be
impossible 10 forfeit those games upon
any theory whatever. and no reason has
been shown to our satisfaction why they
should be played over IL time should per
NIT, or that the board Of directors Of the
Capital City League erred in the course
they took in the matter.
For these reasons the protest Of the
Aloysius Club against the declaration
Pf the Cornell Company as the champ
ons Of the Capital City League is dis ,
missed"
