- Manager Cornell defended on the
ground that the player IN question was
made eligible by reason or several for
feireG games, when Il was alleged.
Phipps was on the field Of play and
ready TO enter the game Two dates
were cited, August and 10, on which
dates Cornell was awarded games BY
forfeit. but conclusive evidence viii no
doubt be brought 10 bear by the Ninth
street mana EemenL showing that on the
first day mentioned PhIppS played with
his own team, AnacOStia. at Thirteenth

Ninth aggreEa ton, and on the 10th IN
slant the player was present on the
Ninth bench during the game with
Hamline, in the Sunday School League

away with everything in Section B.
There Is no doubt that with these men
the Printers would have made a big
showing in the games now being play
ed and that their absence has caused
Columbia to lag in last place with no

IS now playing substitutes IN the lnheld
positions and has attempted 70 mold

The Twining bunch plunged into the
poSt-seaSon series with the idea deeply
imbedded that II would lose every game
IN which il played, but determined %
