fielding aggregation and much better
pitcher than last season, when the man
whom they had in the box received AL

Mount st. Joseph's in Baltimore.
There arc likely to be some hot arguments
brought out tonight when the amateur
commission meets. Some OF the proposed
changes in the rules. IL passed, viii hit
a few of the teams hard. Several mana.
gers have already built their plans foi
the coming season on the assumption thai
a man Will be allowed TO play in two
leagues, and il this is not permitted there
is no doubt that their teams will suffer.
In fact. when il comes down to fine
points nearly every nine has one or more
men playing on it who is or are holding
down jobs in another league.
The scholastic teams will he busy to-
day. also, as nearly every school has
game scheduled, and i'm some instances

were in favor OF Dutch Neuman, but
some opposition was brought to bear
against his reappointment, and 1t Is not
known just what will be done regarding
the matter.
League last night a new president was
elected in place of e. &. Love, who has
been acting in that capacity this spring.
Col. William De Grange, an enploye or
the War Department w6s chosen to MI
the position during the coming season.
Other than this little was done, except
to decide to vote against the commission
passing the rule forbiddng one man to
play with more than one team.
A representative Of each of the teams
was present, with the exception of Ana

The Suburban League met last night
and filled the vacant place in that circuit.

|. No enc in base ball had a harder row to
hoe than the Robisons. During the war
with the American League their team was
raided Of all its stars, and even though
that has been ten years ago, the team
has never been rebuilt. A fortune has
been spent in the effort, but without sue
cess. 1t was but natural that the st.
Louis club should have to stand the brunt
OF the war, since it had been weakened
more than any other by the invasion.
It was but natural for Robson to seek
aid from his colleagues in the league,
which undoubtedly he did, but it may be
that he has since repaid these loans and
was at the time of his death the sole
owner Of the club.
Before the Washington club can dispose
Of DEG" Ralston it must secure waivers
from the other seven clubs. This having
been done, It cannot send Ralston to any
other club, but the one from which he
was secured, Akron, without paying
Akron the balance due, $1,000. There is.
therefore. hardly a chance for any club
but Akron to get this player. for no one
would be willing to pay that amount for
him now.
