Downs Tries as
First Baseman

When the Washington club failed
to secure Jerry Downs from Columbus
last fall no one felt that anything
worth while had been overlooked, for
the local patrons of the game can re-
member Downs only as a mediocre in
fielder, a poor outfielder and fair
hitter. But perhaps 1t would have
been a ten-strike for McAleer had he
secured the authenticated youth, for
who knows that he would not have
filed that hole at first base. At any
rate Downs is TO be played at first
by Columbus next season. He should
make good there. He Is just good
enough a fielder to fill that position,
and In that company he is an Al hit
ter.
So, after trying TO make himself a
big Lacquer in other positions in which
he failed, Downs may come back one
OF these days as high-class first
baseman. II only goes to show that at
times II takes years TO find the proper
position for a player. and first seems
to be made to order for Downs

Hockey Protest
Is Not Allowed

The hockey game played between
the ID. A. c. ana lronclads at the
Arena, Jan. 8, and which was won
by the Ircnclads, to l. will stand
as played, unless the ID. A. c. makes
further appeal 10 the executive COM
mittee OF the ID. A. II. l.. The secre-
tary and president have disallowed
the protest OF Manager Curran, who
wanted the game played over on the
grounds that the goal posts were not
firmly fixed in the ice and when the
Ironclads' cage was disengaged, II pre-
vented his team tying the score.
In making the decision, the officers
OF the league issued the following let
ter 10 DR.. Curran:
In the case in question the goal posts
were displaced through concerted
rush OF u. A. c. players. The goals
Judge lost his feet In the mixup, The
management of the Arena objected 10
laying pipes in the ice for the purpose
OF fixing the goals firmly, so II has
been necessary to use posts held in
place by short iron spikes.
These posts are used in all league
games and the Ironclads' goal was
fixed 10 the ice IN the same manner
as the ID A. c. goal in this particular
game, Therefore. we cannot see where
the D. A. c. suffered any further dis
advantage than its opponent There
have scored had the goal remained In
place. There was only possibility.
For these reasons II Is the Judgment
OF the officials OF the ID. A. III. L.. That
the game stand as played This decis-
ion will be final unless the ID. A. G.
wishes to appeal to the board OF arbi-
