RH C w. SWAN.


With the opening of the amateur
leagues less than a week off, only three
lists of players have been received by
Secretary shurtIeff. of the amateur COM
mission. This was the statement made
by Mr.. Shu:tleff last night:
The rule regarding this reads:
'Rule Z. Previous TO the playing of the
first scheduled game the secretary Of
each league shall file with the secretary
of the commission a list of players eligible
to play on each team in his league, and
shall promptly notify him of any changes
in such list fines, suspensions, rulings,
and decisions. which shall be subject to
the approval of the commission. No team
shall permit a player to participate in a
game who has been declared by the COM
mission to be ineligible to play on that
team. ':nder penalty of not to exceed IS
in each case, or forfeiture of the game, or
both"
This matter should be attended to at
once by the managers of the various
teams, as there is a fine or forfeiture OF
the game or both if the list is not in the
hands of the secretary before the team
is put upon the field. and as the Bank
crs' League opens its season to-day, the
different managers had better get q
hustle on and turn in their lists at
once
Amateur Editor The Washington Herald.
l noticed in the issue of your paper
of to-day that the Park Views. of the
Suburban League, were defeated by the
White Havens. l wish to state that the
Park Views have only played one game
this season. and that at BallstOn, Va.
which was played with the strong Dixie
Athletic Club. of that place, and was
won. was stated by me in my request
to you to publish the same. The team
representing themselves as Park Views
that played with White Haven are not
known to us, or do they belong to the
Suburban League. l am manager of the
Park Views. and l take this means to
get the facts before the public correctly.
