MANAGER GASSAWAY
PROTESTS DECISION.

tt Is not only an insult to the
board of arbitration, but IL Ii
also an injustice TO the other
managers of teams In the Com
mercial League that President
Graf has awarded the pennant to
the II. =. Andrews team. The
board ordered me to play two
games with the willard team,
and the Willard team has two
games to play with the Times
team. Andrews has one with C.
& p, which are all regular sched-
uled games, and the pennant can
not be decided until these games
are played.
If the president OF the Com
merciaI League ranks ahead Of
the board of arbitration, then It
is up to him to award the pen
nant to whatever team he may
choose.

cisfOn, and II is n matter to be

president of the Marquette League,

Immediately sent for him and offered
him Collifiower's position, which he ac-
cepted. For the past three weeks
Brooks has handled the indicator and
rendered decisions that for the most
part have been satisfactory.
League Has Many Advantages.
The league is fortunate in having the
grounds so situated that the fans are
afforded an exceptionally good view of
the game. The diamond is in a hollow
and the stands are built on a hill. George
town fans feel satisfied that they have
all other leagues beaten when IL comes
to the advantages for witnessing a game.
Capt Edwards has seen Brooks ofiiciate
on several occasions and has been pleased
with his work. Financial conditions are
in good shape and the heads of the cir

The Marquette League will close a very
successful season the first part of this
week. The officials of the circuit are
pleased that things have been run off so
smoothly and that the league has pro-
gressed with such rapidty. To date
there has been but one forfeited game.
This is a record of which no other league
in the city can boast.
The league has been rather unsuccess-
full with their umpires. Three different
men have been employed. Woods started
the season and gave satisfaction for the
first five or six games. After this the
managers and the players seemed dis
satisfied with the work of Woods and
asked for another arbiter. This was
granted. and Collifower took up the
duties Of running the league. He lasted
longer than Woods. but persons con-
nected with the league were not pleased
with the decisions he rendered and a new
man. Brooks by name, was engaged

Nationals Play Marines To-day.

The crack National Athletic baseball
club will meet the Marines baseball
club this afternoon at . o'clock, on the
baseball grounds at Seventeenth and d
streets southeast.
The Marines ARE putting up a good
game of ball in the Capital City League
of the District. The National Athletics
are playing independent ball during this
season, but expect to be affiliated next
season with some one of the amateur
leagues of the District. The team is cap
able of playing fast game of ball AS
these two teams appear to be evenly
matched a good game is expected.

ton Of every league will be a good team.
The post-season series will be fast, for
the most part, and while the writer
picks Cornell TO win the title, the Bank
ers' and Commerce and Labor. should
they be given the game that they lost TO
Agriculture, to finish in the running.
The commission put the Bankers in
division l. of Section A, not on the
strength of the Bankers, but on their
past records. 1t is generally believed
that the Sunday School League winner
would put up a much better game in
division >, but as they are in division !,
it is hard TO see where they will have
much of 4 show.
Another good game on the amateur
calendar for this afternoon is the con-
test between the Naval Medical School
aggregation and the Navy Department
team of the Departmental League This
game will be played on the Marquette
League grounds, Thirty-fifth street and
Wisconsin avenue northwest. Umpire
Brooks will call the game promptly at
go
Sherwood has made a great attempt for
the bunting in the Sunday School League,
and the aggregation of youngsters will
be heard from in the future. This team
has been loser for the past two years,
and their showing this season has been
very gratifying 10 the fans of the North
east circuit.
When Cornell and Navy Yard meet
to-day in Capital City League Park, the
fur will fly for fair. These teams will
fight to the last, and a battle royal is
promised. Manager Cornell will most
likely pitch Clyde Richmond, while Bob
Smith will be behind the bat. Manager
LIE Clair will use Becker and Giovonetti.
Game will be called promptly at 2:3O.
Another good game on the cards for
this afternoon is the Aloysus-Adams con-
test in the District League Park. These
teams will start hostilities at go. the
same time as the battle In Capital City
League Park, and hot game should be
the result.
The Pepco team, which has made such
a wonderful showing in the Commercial
League is scheduled to play the Ameri
can Security and Trust nine, winners
of the Bankers League pennant, on the

not say anything about two teams. If
the constitution states that the league
must be formed of not less than four
teams, the board will most likely rule
that as there is no Suburban league,
neither Petworth nor Silver Spring can
play in the post-season series
That this will be a hardship on both
teams IS plain to be seen, and when next
season rolls around, let's hope that the
commission will settle just how many
teams will constitute a league.
