None to Drop Out of Com
mission Because of Firm
ness of Secretary.
LATE REGISTERING
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Confusion Was Outcome, But Fav,
orable Action Is Smooth
ing 1t Over.

No amateur leagues are to drop out
OF the commission for the secretary's
failure to recognize their belated lists
as apparent today after a general dis
cussion Of the subject at a meeting OF
the commission last night.
1t was announced at the meeting prior
to July 10 that, according to the con-
stitution of the commission. no registra-
tons or changes would be allowed after
the 18th. Four leagues failed to get
their changes in registration to Secre-
tary Shurtleff on the 18th, and he
ignored them. These leagues were the
Marquette, independence. Suburban
and Olympia
Hope For Favorable Action.
The officials of these leagues, hoping
that some action favorable to them
would be taken by the commission,
played the men whose registration had
come in late. The commission last night
held hard and fast to tts constitution,
and there was a merry tumble of play
ing ineligible players, threats of drop
ping out OF the amateur commission,
and confusion OF standings in these
leagues.
Under the constitution, teams playing
ineligible players forfeit such contests
as these men participated in, and the
different leagues must hold meetings 10
decide on their standings, and just what
games are to be forfeited. With regard
to the Engle case, President Graf, OF
the Commercial League, produced a
contract with Engle signed December
"a. Manager Donnelly, of Manhattan,
has a contract. which date he will not
Givulge, and It is said that Manager
Cornell has one, although Cornell has
not yet produced IT.
Teams Are Warned.
In the face of such a wealth of con-
tracts, and being unable to prove at
this time the priority of any Of them,
the commission warned the teams that
those who played EngIe played him at
their peril, and the matter was referred
to the arbitration committee.
President Beach introduced amend
ments to the constitution, in accordance
with his former motions, tending toward
one team registration. This will take
effect next year.

Rain interfered with yesterdays con-

ing at the time for the game, the field
was muddy, and game was impossible
The Washington times., 1911-07-25

Although the grounds were in perfect
condition. no game was played in this
circuit yesterday. as neither team had
nine men on the field. The heavy rain
which fell in the business section of
the city probably gave the players the
idea that there would be no game in
the Georgetown league, as only three
OF the Indian Office team and seven
Of the Corcoran nine appeared on the
diamond.

ToDAY-Postorice VS.. Interior. at EllIpse
TOMORROW-No game.
Navy and Commerce and Labor,
scheduled for yesterday, were scared
off by the rain, and neither team was
present to play. The heavy rain, did
not pass over the White Lot Ellipse,
and the grounds were in excellent con-
dition.
The game will be put over few days,
and will probably come at the end of
the present scheduled postponed games.
Should Manager Shoemaker win the
pennant, he will go into the post-season
series with practically the same team
he has had throughout the year, that is,
his stars will play with Commerce and
Labor. There are three men on Labor
who are playing with Cornell Company,
in the Capital City League, which lat
ter team will win the pennant In that
league. Both leagues are Class A, but
Shoemaker will have the call on those
players who play on each team.
Manager Anderson is confident that
Postoffice will get another crack at
Commerce and Labor. His only chance
is that Labor loses one of its remaining
games, of which there are four. Should
the race be tie, there will probably be
a series Of three games played between
the two leaders.
Navy is the only team, In the opinion
of followers of the league that has any
chance of turning the trick against the
Laborites.

There are, however, some mighty good
pitchers this year who eclipse those of
the season of 1910. McMahon. Knott
Ferguson, Walter Hughes. Johnny

One man who deserves much credit
for the success the Independence

Brownie" Lemeric is a fast man on
the bases. When the averages came
out in this paper couple of weeks
ago he was near the top of the list Of
basesteaIers. The five bases which he
stole in the st. Stephens-Indian Office
game last Friday will probably put him
far In the lead of the other men who
have a large number of pilfered sacks
to their credit.
Perry, the fast right fielder of the
Medico team, has gotten on the bases
every time he has come to the bat in
the six games in which he has played.
The injury which George Colliflower
received in game at Culpeper, Va,
about month ago has crippled the

Manager Langley now has only two
men to do the work in the box, Mullin-
eaux and Rupert Collifower was the
star box artist of the Corcoran nine,
and his loss is severely felt by that or
ganization.
Cleve Donaldson, who is now playing
the center field garden for the Naval
MediCo. is still hitting the ball hard.
He has neat little batting average
of .466, including eight home runs, three
triples, and six two-base clouts.

The action OF the managers in starting
Saturday games is praiseworthy, as it
gives the fans some little chance to get
home for a warm dinner. Starting the
games at $50, or later. the contests run
until 7:30. or until dark, and most OF
the fans get cold victuals.
The league has enjoyed the best Of
patronage this year, and the finances
are sid to be in excellent condition.

Owing to the heavy rains during the
afternoon, yesterdays game between
North Carolina and Hamline was called
OF, as the grounds were in no condi-
ton for play. 1t is probable that this
game will be played off next Saturday
afternoon, when a double header is
proposed between these two teams, the
first game to start at o'clock.
Ingram will probably lose the services
OF Frank Adams, its manager, for next
season, as that worthy pilot states that
business connections will prevent him
from taking an active part IN the game
hereafter. 1t Is to bo regretted that
such may be a possibility, as Mr.. Adams
has done a great deal toward uplifting
the standard of ball on the northeast
diamond, and through his untiring ef-
forts the league was successful in
keeping Ingram in the fold a few weeks
ago when the players caused a small
sized rebellion.
hSherwood and Anacos.ia teams Will
play this afternoon, and it should prove
an interesting contest, since the cellar
team has been materially strengthened

and Fletcher will be Anacosua's bat
terry, and will be opposed by Rhodes
and Davis for Sherwood.

At the recent meeting of the league 1t
was proposed that series or exhibition
games be played by the two leaders In
in other leagues after next Monday, the
last date on the schedule. A committee,
consisting Of Managers Johnson, of Co.
lumbia; Waters, Of Adams Express, and
O'Connor, of Aloysius, was appointed
for this purpose, and will make their
report at the committee meeting to-
night in the office of President Beach.
In the Pacific Building.
1t was also proposed that an exhibit
ton game be played at the District
| Adams Express and Kendall Athletic
Club, of the Independence League. Mr.
O'Connor, Mr.. Waters and Mr.. Luitich
will report their success in this matter
at tonight's meeting.
Tomorrow's game between Aloyslus
and Adams Express will be the week s
| drawing card, and a lively contest Is
guaranteed. The Expressmen must win
tomorrow in order to have a chance to
tie Aloysius for first place. and Mana
can show the stun. Aloysius will use
bob hummer and Babbington as
their battery, while the Expressmen
will depend upon Mcmahon and Fftz-
gerald, or Gheen.
President Beach recommended to the
commission that Dave Venable be Sc
lected as one of the umpires for the
Dost-season series, at the request OF the
hoard of managers. Dave has given en-
