Impossible to Get at Bottom
of Charges, Says
. Beach.
ADDRESS BEFORE
THE COMMISSION
Question of Stamping Out Evil of
Paying Players Before
Body.

President Beach, of the District Base
ball League, sounded a keynote when,
in a stirring speech to the amateur
commission last night, he said the MEM
bers Were working at crOss-purposeS,
and that, owing to absolute lack of au-
thority it was impossible to reach the
root of charges, as neither players nor
managers were disposed to help.
As was expected, the investigation of
the charges brought by Manager VIII
hnson, of the 81. Martins team, were
dismissed for lack of proof, and play
ers and managers We're eXonerated.
The opinion was expressed openly by
three or four Of the presidents attend
ing that managers were paying some of
their men, but that there was no way
of actually proving the point, as, nat
urally, the manager was not disposed to
pay the money openly, or make such
transactions in writing.
No Way Out of 1t.
They are all desirous of stamping out
the evil, but there is no way of getting
at the matter.
The meat of the matter is this, aC-
cording to the speakers. There seems
managers to live up to the agreement
and hold strictly to amateur bail, so
long as they can get by without be-
ing discovered. Such state is deplor-
able, it was pointed out. and the COM
mission is fully aware of this but it
can get no definite proof, and the fact
that the amateur commission, under the
present constitution and bylaws. has
no power or right TO properly try such
charges as come before il, makes the
situation all the more acute. The re-
port Of the committee to Investigate the
1 recent charges brought out the inter-
esting fact that there was contradictory
evidence in every case, and, as one
member put it, unless there is some
way provided for bringing out the truth,
nothing can be accomplished.
The amateur commission has done its
work in good faith, and in order TO
make the commission effective. it must
receive the support and cooperation of
the managers of the sixty-six teams
under the commission. Without that,
and with the seeming lack of author
ity vested in the commission for try
ing these charges, according TO Presi-
dent Beach, the amateur commission is
made to look foolish.
More Charges Made.
There were more charges brought in
last night. A motion vas made by Pres
ident James O'Shea. Of the Capital City
League, that Mr.. Wilkinson be barred
from amateur baseball, Mcdonnell, de-
claring in a letter that Wilkinson Of
fered him 81 a game TO catch. This
mottsn was amended by President
Beach to read that he shall be dealt
with as the commission sees fit, should
he be found guilty
Resolutions in memory of the late
Frank Stecher were passed, and copies
sent to his wife.
Diver, Carroll and Ross, who have
been playing professional ball. were de-
clared eligible to play amateur ball in
the District, as they had been released
before June !.
The committee appointed to handle
the charge brought against Wilkinson
is made up Of ]. Miller Kenyon, Thomas
Kirby and Harry Fry.

TOMORROW-Car Department vs. B. &
o., Fifth and Florida avenue northeast.
A look into the records of the twirlers
Of the league. would show Thompson
to be the leading pitcher. Not only
would he be leading in the number of
victories to his credit, but also as the
most effective hurler. He has pitched
a no-hit game, two, three and four hit
games. Added to his pitching ability
he is also quite a hitter.
After having seen the grounds at Fifth
and Florida avenue one might wonder
at the number of errors that are made
in the games. The grounds are without
doubt the best amateur grounds in
the city, but the reason for the mis-
cues lies in the fact that the teams have
not the time to practice. Each team is
allowed the use Of the grounds on Sat-
urdays, but the players do not seem
inclined to use their half holidays in this
manner.
Graham. who is classed by many as an
old timer, has yet to show that he has
gone back. He can still pitch a good
game, and is leading the league in
batting.

Interstate won an unintereStinR game
from Agriculture yesterday, the game
being practically a gift on the part of
the Agriculture boys.
Oakleys poor work behind the bat
for Agriculture was mainly responsible
for the loss. He dropped three throws
to the plate, on which runners scored
and he also made two weird heaves to
to third, which let runners in.
Barnes succeeded in knocking down
Downey's hot liner between first ana
second in the fifth, but the runner beat
the throw to the bag by inches
Widmayer, at short for Agriculture,
made a beautiful one-handed stop in
the fifth, in the first man up, but failed
miserably on the same kind of a play a
moment afterward.
There were few features, the game
being listless throughout. The urnp was

Thompson and Widmayer, both of
Havenner, led at the bat, the former

the latter two out of the same number
of trials.
Havenner seemed to have found its
long-lOst batting eye. The members
registered a total of nine hits off Nc

Telephone scored it's only run in the
sixth inning, when White, of that team,
stole home and was safe on a close de-
cislun.- In the same inning the bases
were full and other scores imminent.
when Thompson, OF Havenner, made a
lucky stop of Howell's hit and got the
runner, retiring the side.
Munich. of Havenner, besides support
ing his pitcher in excellent style,-made
fly in the second inning. Although play
ing with a losing team, the youngster
has done most consistent work behind
the bat, and is, with the exception of
Brewer, probably the bes. backstop in
