CAPITAL CITY NOW
ONE-TEAM LEAGUE
With the Cornels Only Nine Remaining in Field Organ
zaton Will Be Kept Alive Despite Many
Defections.

The question confronting the amateur
fans today is When is a league not
1eague?" despite the fact that the COM
mission at its meeting at Spalding's last
night ruled that the Capital City cir
cult was a league when only one club
remained.
Cornell Company. the remaining team
In the league, still stands in complete
possession, although Navy Yard and the
Pumping Station teams have decided
long ago that they had withdrawn. The
Navy Yard has disbanded, and Pump
ing Station has failed to appear for a
game in three weeks. The announce
ment was made that Brentwood was to
take the place Of the Seamen Gunners.
A large attendance was recorded at
the commission meeting last night, and
resolutions, motions, and amendments
flew across the room in rapid succession.
When all was said and done the Capital
City League found itself still a league
despite the fact that but one team is at
present representing it.
That the Jumpers are to fght the
ruling made by the commission in order
to get into the Columbia League is seen
by the fact that the case Is to be ap-
pealed to the board of arbitration OF
the commission. In the regular Susi-
ness OF the commission, Gordon was Sus-
pended for signing two contracts. The
Mt. Pleasant team was dropped from
the Columbia League.
It is expected that the Columbia cir.
cult and the Capital City League will
line up in the coming case before the
arbitrator board. The bumpers will
probably not show in the Capital City
League, and have been barred from
playing in the Columbia League. Owing
TO the fact that there are no games for
the Capital City circuit and series of
open dates for the Departmental
League. Cornell Company and the Post
office teams are to play three e-game
series at the Capital City League
grounds beginning today.

LOR|MER LOSES
SEAT IN SENATE
ILLINOIS SENATOR ousTED BY
COLLEAGUES AFTER HAVING
SERVED OVER THREE YEARS.
t1is Election Held to Have Been
Invalid on the Ground That Votes
for Him Were Obtained by
Corrupt Methods.

Washington.-By a vote of fifty-five
to twenty-eight, the United States
senate on Saturday took away from
William Lorimer his seat as junior
senator from Illinois. His election
was held to have been invalid and he
was declared to have been the recip-
lent OF votes obtained by corrupt
methods and practices.
Lorimer had been member of the
senate since June IS. 1909. The first
suggestion of fraud in connection with
his election became public in April,
1910, when Charles A. White, a mem.
Der of the Illinois legislature, swore
that he had received $4,000 as bride
for voting for Lorimer.
The senate by its action on Satur-
day reversed the majority of its own
Investigating committee and changed
its vote of March l, 1911, when Lori
mer retained his seat, forty-six to
forty.
Technically Mr. Lorimer will pass
out of the records of the senate as q
member, Notwithstanding his more
than three years occupancy of his
seat.
Facing his associates with the dec.
iaration, Il am ready" Mr.. Lorimer

tail, probably the most thorough. ever

conducted, and the report was pre-
pared by Commissioner Franklin X

that the conclusions reached consti

of that gravest problem of the Am
