The boys guilty of misconduct at
the recent soccer match between the
Morton and Franklin School Junior
teams were disqualified from partici-
pating in all public school athletics
for a year at a meeting of the school
athletic board held in Burnet Street
School yesterday.
The trouble arose when the Frank
lin lads lost the final game TO decide
the city junior championship.
As Morton came out victorious, the
followers OF the Franklin team, 1t Is
alleged, attacked the Morton follow
ers. A protest was also brought
against Morton" which, 1t was
claimed, one of the junior play
ers was over age. This matter will
be decided at the next meeting, on
December II. New officers will prob
ably be elected on that date and also

manager of the Pittsburgh Baseball
Club, and Roger Bresnahan had a
long conference here last night, but
Bresnahan did not sign a Pittsburgh
contract, nor will Clarke say that ne
has Bresnahan's promise to play for
him.
On the contrary Clarke states that
the situation is just as it was before;
that Bresnahan would not be in a po-
sition to dicker with any club until
the matter of the broken contract
with st. Louis is settled; that there
were three clubs after Bresnahan's
services, and that nothing would be
officially done until he and st. Louis
club owners settle their differences.
But Clarke did say before leaving on
a late train for Pittsburgh that he
was satisfied in his own mind that he
knew what Bresnahan intended to do
finally. and the Pittsburgh manager
seemed in a very happy humor over
his visit here.

Murphy will sue for peace when the
crucial moment arrives and will con-

Meanwhile Murphy has announced
that instead Of Tinker he is now
ready to trade Tommy Leach to the
Reds. He says that Hermann
wanted Leach a year ago when the
latter was with the P~ittsburghs, and
that there is no reason why the GIN

now. But Hermann says Leach VIII
