That the different teams Of the leagues
under the amateur commission are re-
peatedly violating rule eight of the play
ing season rules was the statement Of
Secretary Shurtlin. of the amateur COM
mission, last night.
The violations in question relate to the
registration of more than the allotted
number of players, namely, twenty.
While this does not seem important
to many, II is, nevertheless. When the
secretary of the commission is called
upon to decide when a man is eligible or
not more than twenty names allows him
to say that any one Of them is ineligible,
as only twenty men are allowed to any
one team, and more than that number
cannot be registered. When a man is
registered and one is supposed to come
off the list, the different managers should
make it plain and then there would be no
come back, but as it stands at present,
Secretary Shurtliff does not know who
to take of the teams in question and who
to put on should it come to showdown.
The following letter was received
from Secretary Shurtliff, of the amateur
commission, regarding carrying more
ers by any team under the commission:
Sporting Editor The Washington Herald:
Will you please publish this list Of
over twenty players for me? 1t will as
sist me greatly, as some take no notice
of repeated notifications unless through
the columns Of your paper.
1t will probably receive some atten-
tion and cause the registers to be fixed
up. H V. sHURTLIFF,
Secretary Amateur Commission.
Although the Bankers League con-
stttution allows a team to have only
fifteen regular players, they have a re-
serve list of fifty players to draw from.
The following teams have these num-
bers: American Security and Trust,
nineteen players; Commercial National,
twenty; First National sixteen; Second
National, twenty-four; District Ma
tional, nineteen.
The following teams have over twenty
players, June q:
In the Capital City League-Navy Yard,
q players.
Departmental League-Navy, q players.
Independence League-Kendall A c.,
21 players; st. Martin, 81 players.
Marquette League-Corcoran Cadets. q
players; Tennallytown. p players.
Olympia League-SouthIands q play
ers: Woodland, 21 players; Braddocks. q
players.
Sunday School League-Hamline, q
players; Ninth, q players.
When the amateur commission meets
in spalding's store Saturday night sew
eral startling disclosures are scheduled
to be made in regards to the charges of
Manager Wilkinson, of the st. Martins
team, of the Independence League.
1t is understood that new developments
in the cases have come to light since
the meeting of the committee appointed
by President Young, and II would be
advisable for all concerned in the matter
to be present.
The report of the committee will be
heard and acted upon; and If the rumor
that is going the rounds can be credited, |
a big surprise will be sprung when the |
high moguls of amateur ball get to-
gether.
Just what is the new light on the sub |
ject could not be learned last night, but |
it is safe to say that it is regarding the |!
CorneIl-MacDonald case. Saturday night |
is the date, and p. m. the time. So all |
you witnesses and accused be present at |
the final judgment court.
