CONTESTED POINTS
ARE DROPPED OUT
Conditions Among Teams in the
District Taking on Better
Aspect.

The unusual number of protests oc-
curing in the different amateur
leagues and the liberties which have
been taken daily with the constitu-
ton Of the amateur commission, are
reported to be on the decrease
One way of getting around the nu-
merous protests was found last night
at a meeting of the Commercial
League. What promised to be n series
of holly contested points in regard to
games where men were not registered
in the league or under the commits
SION, was declared off The league
officials got together, and declared
the slate clean, wiping all blots off
and practically making the errors of
omission and commission things of
the past.
Change Much Desired.
1t would appear that the president
of the commission and members of
the board of arbitration are not con-
tent to see things run in the manner
of the last three weeks. While the
action of the Commercial League in a
measure solved the difficulty Presi-
dent Young apparently does not rel
ish the many things that are being put
across by managers of teams every
day, and which put the commission in
a poor light.
Neither the constitutions of the diff
ferent leagues nor the constitution of
the commission are being
In anything like serious manner by
those committing the violations. Men
are played without regard to mem
bership of teams. No lists are sent
In to the secretary of the commission,
and altogether things appear to be in
chaotic condition. Tense violations
are on the wane, it is reported, and
much will be done to help the secre-
tary before long.
Failure of Notifications.
The main difficulty encountered by the
secretary of the commission is the fail
ure of managers of teams to notify him
that releases are being made. Men are
dropped and others added at will, and
lists of games played which are subject
for protest number over seventy.
1t is expected that things will
straighten out in the next few DAYS
Copies Of the constitution Of the anna
teur commission will be handed out in a
few days, as they are expected from the
printer at any time. The commission
meeting probably will DE devoted to
taking up the situation from every
standpoint, with the idea of getting
more concerted action from the presi-
dents in Strengthening out the muddle.

No game was played in the circuit

mercial National will take the field, and
from the past performances of the two
teams, one of the best OF the season is
expected.
Manager Holden, of the First, of Hy-
attsville, promises a strong lineup
against Commercial. The team has not
gotten lin its stride, although one win
and one lose has been recorded.
As soon as the Hyattsville team be-
comes accustomed to the grass diamond
at the White Lot some good ball
should be played. The First team seems
to be long on hitters, numbering some
of the best in the league.
With American Security, First Nation
al, and Commercial putting up good ball,
some strength could be added to the
other two banks, which seem to be
weak. The reserve list of players
might be drawn on heavily to make I'D
for the disparity between the teams.

which will win out over Aloysius.
