Only Ninth's First
Games to Be Counted
Minimum Number of Contests Nth Each Team
to Go on Record-ParkpieW to
Protest Forfeit.
By O, w. SWAN.

In order TO settle lne WINNER Oi tHo
Sunday School League race only the
smallest number of games played by the
Ninth team with any one club will be
counted The other games will be thrown
into the discard. This was the state
ment Of President Young, Of the amateur
commission, last night.
AS Ingram played only three games
with Ninth, and that is the smallest
number played by any other aggrega-
ton, that is the number that will count
This ruling will hardly hurt the pen
naEt prospects of the Hamline tribe. as
the Hamlineites have the pennant prac-
tically cinched.
President Young said: THE smallest
number of games played by Ninth with
any one team must be ascertained, and
only that number of games which Ninth
has played with each other club can be
counted in the records. Thus-if Ninth
has played three with Hamline. four
with Anacostia, and five with Ingram,
only the first three games with Ana
costa and Ingram can be counted in
the records, and the balance must be
cancelled"
Parkview failed to have nine men on the
field yesterday in the Suburban League,
and Petworth took the game by forfeit
After the game the Parkview players
stated that the game would be protested,
as they did not know Silver Spring was
on the schedule to play Petworth.
The following letter was received from
Paddy Holmes the weIl-known baseball
and football fan:
Sporting Editor The Washington Herald
No doubt you see in the papers where
some managers of the amateur baseball
teams of the District OF Columbia are
going to remove or withdraw their teams
from the leagues. Now, no doubt you
and all others who are lovers of amateur
baseball will agree with me that Mr..
Hughes and Mr.. Belts are the two mos:
noted and reliable umpires in the Dis
trict; but still two managers are going to
withdraw their teams from their leagues
The reason is that the umpires are
wrong % Now If these managers would
Just try to umpire one game and see
what an umpire has to contend with they
then would go on the bench and play
their part. I do not see why some one
has not said a word for the umpires long
ago To suit the manager, captain and
each player and all the attendance is a
hard job. p. D. HOLMES.
Manager Hamline Baseball Team.
To-day the new Commissioners will
play the Bureau aggregation in the Dis
trict League, and as the Commissioners
will have their full team on the field,
Bureau should prove rather easy for the
heavy hitting crowd of Manager Koontz
