UMPIRES MAY GET
ENL LARGED POWERS
indicators of the Amateur Circuits May Take More Active
Part In League Affairs-May Have Authority to
Determine Questions of Eligibility.

The advisability Of having the league
umpire Of the amateur circuit take
more active part in the doings of the
league may come up for consideration
at a future meeting of the amateur
commission. AS has been pointed out,
the system used in Cleveland where
there are no less than 800 teams playing
for the title, could we'll be employed
here. In Cleveland, the umpires have
more power than they have in WASH
ington amateur circuits.
1t has been suggested here that the
umpires have power to look into the
question Of the eligibility of all play
ers taking the field in the amateur cir
cults so that no manager can play in
eligible players. There have been sew
eral complaints this year about teams
playing ineligible players and in a few
Instances have the final standings of
the clubs been affected.
Were the umpires able to check Off
the players before they took part in the
games, or were they in the habit of
sending forward protests to the presi-
dent of the commission from managers
who discovered that their opponents
the trouble would be eliminated.
According to reports the Columbia
League will close It's season on Tues
cay next. American Security will be de-
clared the winner at that time having
successfully beaten off all other teams
for the flag. The American Security
team appears to have a good chance for
the post-season championship series
games, and will give all of the other
entrants a hard run for the money.
A change in the Independence League
schedule brings Loffler and Aloysius to-

Smith Is listed to start the game in
this position. as his drop kicking abil-
ity and c%elverness with the forward

the fray.
Norgren was at right half, with
Pierce at full back and Gray at left
half for most of the scrimmage. The
line was q. makeshift. consisting Of
Miller at center. Freeman and Harris
at h guards, Carpenter and Sellers

The freshmen used Northwestern
plays during the first part of the work
and sprang several Illinois combina-

half back positions. Acker at full
back. Whiting and Hatcher at center,

Chicago. Nov. S.-The business of
pennant making in the big leagues
will be resumed Thursday. April 10,

made by President B. B. johnson Of
the American league, who with Tom
Lynch, head Of the older organiza-
ton. comprise a committee empower
ed to select the starting time for
the flag race. Both leagues will get
under way at the same date, with
prospects Of 154-game schedules.
The date picked for the next cam
paign is no earlier than last year
when the teams didn't encounter a
great deal of trouble with cold wealth

have been more suitable to several of
the magnates, while still others think
that they ought to start before the
snow melts. The matter is placed in
the hands of the league chiefs just
o nthis account. as petty squabbling
was eliminated and the presidents al

in time to permit the playing of the

The closing on october 5 means that
the world series games. whether play
ed in the. east or west. or between
teams from each section. will begin on
Tuesday, October Z. This is the same
scheme that existed this fall.
The experiences Of 1911 furnished
a lasting lesson to the big leagues.
