The proposed game Between the pen
nant winners in the Terminal Railroad

leagues, is a suggestion that deserves Sc
rious consideration. There is no doubt
that a series of three games between
these two teams would prove profitable,
as well as interesting, and there is no
reason why the series should not played,
besides both teams are willing.
Pop Kerper and Dutch" Kinney are
tied for the batting honors in the Depart
mental League, each having hit for 1888

ing and run getting.
The Spartans' refusal to continue the
game with the Olives and the subsequent
forfeit 10 the latter is creating quite a
furore in the Olympia circuit. This is the
first case where the players have taken
the bit in their teeth and carried a kick
so far. The incident occurred in the fifth
when two close decisions on the bases
went in favor OF the Olives. Buckholtz.

fog and was eventually put out of the
game. Before being eliminated he inlu-
enced his teammates into leaving the
field, and as they refused to return to
their positions, the game was awarded to
the olives. Just what action viii be
taken by the board OF managers remains
to be seen. but when it is taken up it
should be remembered that one man was
responsible for the entire happening, and
he should be dealt with accordingly.
The past week has been one OF sur
prises in the Suburban League. The
leaders have experienced rocky going
during the last six days. and the tall

came yesterdays disaster, In which

wall, on which Silver Spring was writ

it looks as If the race were Tightening IN
and that it will be rocky going for the
leaders from this on, while the teams
not high up in the race will have a
chance 10 fatten their standings at the
expense Of the leaders.

The amateur commission is "stuAe"
The National Printers League has OBJ
tanned American League Park for the
championship games of that league. and
the amateur msgnates viii have TO PLAY
their games on one of the sand lot dla-
monds. Now that we have a commission,
the amateurs look 10 that body to get
busy and look after such things as OBJ
tanning the park &c. ard It is hoped
that next season the commission will
profit by this years experience.
