DECISIONS TONIGHT
IN TWO AMATEUR
BASEBALL DISPUTES
Commission To Act On Pen
nant Race Troubles in
Sections A and AA.

Decisions affecting the amateur pen
nant races in sections A and AA will
be handed down by the arbitration board
after its meeting tonight in Spalding's.
Postoffice has protested the Cornell
Postoffice game of last week on the
ground that it should have been de-
clared a tie, since a little boy picked up
the ball before the winning run was
scored, and that the ball should have
been declared dead, and the run not al
lowed
Should Aloysius win from Cornell to-
day, this protest may be dropped, since
1t will not affect the final standing to
such a degree that Aloysius would have
a chance to win the race.
In section AA the Bankers have pro-
tested the eligibility of Walter, who is
registered as a pitcher, but who has
been played regularly in the out
field. Walter, should it be proved that
he has pitched three games for the IN
dependence Leaguers during the league
race will be eligible and the protest will
not stand, but should it be proved that
he has not worked in the box the re-
quired number of games. he will prob
ably be declared ineligible, and the game
In which Manhattan defeated the Bank
ers will be forfeited to the Bankers.
This will give the Bankers clear title
TO section AA.
There has been filed a protest by Cap
tain Yoho, Of the Naval Medicos,
against the crowd on the field at yes
terdays game, and the lateness Of start
ing the contest. Favorable action would
give Naval Medicos the rennant in Sec
ton B, instead of Southland, which was
awarded the pennant after yesterdays
game by President Young, based on pre-
vious action of the board, which was
that the standing of the teams at the
end Of the schedule should determine
the winner.
Should the Bankers lose their protest.
and the game today in section AA be
won by Manhattan, the Bankers and
Manhattan will play tomorrow to decide
the championship. Should Aloysius win
today, Aloysius and Cornell will play
again tomorrow.
Should the pennant races be decided
today, the drawing for position in the
play-of will be made tonight.

plete arrangements for the 1872 tourna-
ment of the National Bowling Associa-

The first movement to bring the
tournament to this city was held about
a month ago, when Mr.. Kirk, of the
American Bowling Congress, visited this
city and conferred with a number Of of.
ficers Of local bowling teams. At that
time Mr.. Kirk stated that the National
Bowling Association was perfectly will
ing to hold it's annual meet in Wash
ington, provided a date was set that
would not conflict with the Western
tournament in Chicago.
A canvass Of local business men has
been made, and it now seems certain
that the proposition will be financed.
At a meeting about two weeks ago,
several cash subscriptions were pledged
and temporary committee appointed
to incorporate a temporary company to
sell stock for the promotion OF the
tournament. 1t would not interfere
with any other organization.

There has been some race in this d.

declared over was because, had Car

Car Department won, there would have
been a triple tie, and the teams would
have been no nearer a solution than at
the start.
Up to the fourth inning, five runs in
the lead, Southland played an excellent
game afield, but in the fifth they booted,
missed and threw away the ball, with
the result that three runs crossed the
plate. In the next inning another
bobble contributed another run,
