The wisdom of President Robert H.
Young, of the Amateur Commission. in
giving the Columbia League time to see
the error of its way, and allowing its
officials TO see what would be done had
they persisted in their course, Is to-
day apparent, according to many vitality
interested in the commissions welfare.
President Young is being congratu-
lated upon the action taken at the last
commission meeting in keeping the Co
lumbia and Capital City League trou-
bles, caused by the withdrawal Of the
Bumpers. to a minimum by staving off
the proposition. The Columbia League
has come around and will subserve its
own interests in the effort to preserve
peace and harmony in the amateur
baseball ranks.
President Hewitt, of the Columbia
League, comes forward today with a
statement which clears his league Of
charges which were made against 1t.
What the Pumping Station team will
do now remains to be seen. 1t is un-
derstood that the bumpers will never
play in the Capital City League again,
and now that the Columbia circuit has
put the bars up, the bumpers will more
than likely play independent ball.
President Hewitt's statement is as
follows:
THE Columbia League is much more
concerned in the preservation of the
I authority unimpaired of the Amateur
Commission and the strict regard for
! the constitution and rules of organized
amateur baseball than In any selnsh
advantage that might result from the
atfiliation of any club no matter how
attractive, with the Columbia League.
I'm the controversy with the Capltal
City League regarding the Sewage
League had reason to believe from the
representations that were made to 1t
that the Capital City League was dis
rupted and dlsmembered. In fact, some
OF the members of that league so re-
garded it and so informed us. Acting
on this information, we accepted the
application of the Sewage Pumping Sta
ton club for membership.
Upon the showing made before the
amateur commission, 1t developed that a
league cannot be regarded as auto
matically disbanded, and for the pur-
pose of releasing it's clubs and players
an affirmative declaration of that fact
must be made by the commission
After a most complete discussion, In
which both sides fully presented their
conflicting contentious, the amateur
commission decided that the Capital
City League was entitled to all its
rights in membership and to the mem
bership of the Pumping Station club.
THE Columbia league accepts that de-
clsion, and will abide by 1t with hearty
loyalty. and if the Pumping Station
club ever becomes a member of the
Columbia League, 1t will have to be
done in full accordance with the rules
or organized amateur baseball, and, fur
thermOre, the Pumping Station club will
not hereafter, in the light of present
facts, play any more exhibition games
with clubs of the Columbia League or
the Columbia League grounds"
