BY c. w. SWAN.

Four presidents Of as many amateur
leagues will receive notification to-day
that various teams in their leagues last
Saturday have laid themselves liable to
forfeited games for playing men who
have not been registered and certified by
the Amateur Commission.
Here are the guilty parties: In the
Bankers League. Commercial National
used Newman in right field. In the De-
partmental League. Clyde Richmond
twirled for Commerce and Labor. In the
Independence League, Cassidy and
Wilkinson played with st. Martins. and
in the Suburban circuit Takoma played
Watt, d. Mulvey. Langford, ]. Mulvey.
Jackson, and Handiboe, while Silver
Spring used Chick Davis, George Mullin,
Cummings. and Moore.
All these players, according to Secre-
tary Shurtleff. are ineligible men. and the
losing teams have perfect right to
protest.
The amateur commission watches every
game closely, and violations are imme-
diately reported to the league presidents
and also managers of the teams.
Looks like there will be a few stormy
sessions ahead for the leagues mentioned
in the foregoing.
1t seems as though two OF last year 8
strongest contenders for the pennant II,
the Independence League have at last
struck their stride. Manhattan Is play
ing a rattling game. perfect fielding,
and hitting timely. st. Martins Is fast
overcoming its handicap.
One OF the most satisfying things about
Manhattan's return to life is the slugging

2:3o o'clock next Saturday on the White
