Willing to Play Over.
Manager McAllister said that ne
had agreed to play the game over
with Fort Monroe, not as a slight to
the directors, but because the thought
that he was in the wrong and that he
did not feel in necessary to call upon
the directors to force him into adj
hitting his errors. He had played
White in perfectly good faith, but
when he found that he was technical
ly'' wrong. he was perfectly Wiling
to play the game over This was the
precedent established last season. he
said that he thought it would have
been better had the matter been pass
ed on by the directors and he thought
the Newport News teams took the
right position in that.
Secretary Holmes said he desired
to admit that he. too, was in the
wrong in connection with the playing
OF White, but it occurred under mis-
Interpretation of the rules.
Finally Mr.. Junken offered resolu-
ton, which was passed. that the game
be played over. Secretary Holmes
voted for the resolution. as capt. Dari-
ing. the president, thought that it
would be better to have two votes
other than the president and the rules
give the secretary the right to vote
in case of the absence of a director.
MI. Milstead was not present.
After taking up the changes In the
constitution and bylaws. the umpire
question was discussed, but no action
was taken. as the directors decided
to let the present umpires remain on
duty. Billy Maloney will be made a
substitute or active umpire when ne
is released from the North Enders.
