President Murnane of the New Eng
land Baseball league throwing out the
game played at Lowell on Memorial
day morning was reversed last night at
a meeting of the league in Boston, and

mitted to the president led the league
to change the decision according to the
following statement given out by Sec
retary Jacob G. Morse;
1.-The board of directors finds that an
agreement was entered into by the
Lowell and Lynn clubs to cease play
ing at IL o'clock However, the board

appears that on the evidence submitted
to him he was justified in making the
decision which was promulgated In
view of the evidence submitted to the
board, which was not brought to the
attention of the president, the board
decided that the game be awarded to
Lynn
