NOW that the amateur baseball COM
mission has finally taken action on the
several rules which were advanced by
the committee appointed to suggest
needed reVisions to the constitution, the
amateur situation here has undergone a
change which will in time give this city
strictly amateur ball, such as Philadel-
phia now enjoys.
After June l, 1911, the date set forth
by the commission, the returning profess
sional will be forever barred from par
ucipation in any contest in any of the
leagues under the jurisdiction of the COM
mission, providing no concessions are
made.
The rule as adopted is not clear to some
OF those interested in the matter and the
following interview with one well posted
and in touch with the situation should
enifGhten those who do not understand
the scope of its provisions.
Though the amateur baseball commits
SION apparently settled the question of
Professionalism at its meeting Satur-
day night, it may be that there will have
10 be some more action before the propo-
sition is settled for good
Amateur baseball has a strong hold
on this community, which should be pre-
served. to add to the physical develop
hent of the youngsters of this city. The
general idea which holds the various
clubs of amateur leagues together is that
they are amateurs; that IS they do not
play for coin. An intrusion of coin play
ers and professional and semi-profes-
Slonal clubs would mean an end of anna
teuriSm- There is no getting away from
this proposition, and it cannot be side
tracked
One of those who took part in the pro-
ccedings of the commission Saturday ex-
planned his position by asking: DO I I'M
derstand by this proposed amendment
that in case a professional or semi-pro-
1esslonal player, who has played for
regular wages for, say, ten years turns

To this query Mr.. O'Shea, of the Capt.
tai City League, who favored the amend
ment striking out the two-year clause.
replied, frankly: Yes: you understand
1t rightly. He can play the same as if

The suggestion offered to invite the
sporting editors OF the tour Washington

this beyond doubt. That the pitchers are

Archbishop Farley Frequently Wis

New York, April Mgr. Patrick ].
Hayes. chancellor of the Catholic Arch
diocese. says for Archbishop Farley,
touching the religious faith of the late
John b. Mcdonald. who built the sub
way, that Mr.. Mcdonald was born of
Catholic parents, was baptized and in
structed in their faith, and never made
a profession of any other.
In his last illness Mr.. Mcdonald ex
pressed a wish two weeks before his
death to see the archbishop. The arch
bishop visited Mr. Mcdonald several
times, and administered to the last rites
of the Catholic Church, while Mr.. Nc
Donald was in the full possession of his
faculties and able to manifest the evil
dent spiritual consolation he derived
from the churchs mfnistration.
The transfer of the remains to Wood
lawn Cemetery was done without the
knowledge of the archbishop, who says
Mgr. Hayes regrets the necessity of pub
licIy speaking in this manner on a mat

At the meeting of the District League
held this morning at the Aloysius Club,
1t was definitely learned that a team was
ready to enter that circuit. The name
of the team was not made public, but

franchise was not given out, the team
will be admitted when the league meets

COLBY HERE TO-DAY.
Plays Catholic University at Brook
land This Afternoon.

Catholic University will line up against
Colby College at University Field this
afternoon in what should prove a fast and
interesting game. This is the first time
in many years that Colby has played in
Washington, and they will no doubt prove
big attraction. Not much is known of
their ability this season, but they have
always had the reputation for turning out
fast teams. and there is little doubt that
the one this year will be in no way below
the standard.
