By c. W. SWAN.

For the first time since the orSaniza-
ticn of the new District League, the
question of becoming affiliated with the
amateur commission was preached at
the meeting held yesterday at the Alloy
sius Club.
While outsiders have been free with
their opinions. no official action had been
taken until yesterday morning, when,
after considerable discussion, Secretary
Ormsby was instructed TO make applica-
ton at once. When the subject of be
coming a member of the amateur COM
mission was brought up it caused a good
bit OF talk but when the vote was taken
it was found that the league had voted
unanimously to make application to the
commission.
If the application of the District
League is favorably acted upon, which it
most likely will be, the commission
will be composed OF eleven leagues, the
only organized league not affiliated with
the commission being the Southern Rail
way League.
