Section c.
GAME TO-DAY.
Park vs. Southern, at Fifth Street and
Florida Avenue Northeast. Game called
5 o'clock. Umpire. Mr.. Belts.
From the above, 1t is plain to be seen
that the Park club has no grounds for
a protest 1t is further stated by Secre-
tary Shurtlen that the managers OF the
three clubs In this section agreed among
themselves which clubs would meet first,
and as Manager Miller, Of the Park
team. was present at this meeting, there
is little doubt that he understood the
arranging Of the game.
q. p. o. and Southern will meet to-day
in Section c, and, should Southern win,
will face the Ninth club Monday in the
intersection series. Should e. p. o. land
the long end Of the score, another game
between these clubs will be played Sat
urday. The winner of this battle will
be awarded the title in that section
An informal meeting Of the committee
held last night in President Young's
office, in the Southern Building. Mana
ger Norvall King and Capt. II. c.
Frankie, of the Maryland Athletic Club,
amateur champions OF Maryland, were
present.
Manager King made the request that
his club be allowed to enter the inter-
city series, but as there has been some
decided objection from Richmond the
Baltimore team will not take part In
the series. Manager Cornell. however,
stated that II he should win the local
championship he would give the Mary
land team a game. and Manager Gray,
of the Pepco club. also assured Mana
ger King that he would play the Balti-
more club IL Pepco won the title.
The entire matter regarding Baltimore
is simply this: There Is no amateur
commission in Baltimore, and, while
their code OF rules may be even strong
er than the ones in operation here, the
Richmond and Washington officials do
not care to allow a team which has no
governing body In the series.
Following is a rule from the bylaws
of the Interclub League, Of which the
NJ. A. c. is member, which Is stronger
than any section of the local rules:
Each club represented engages upon
honor to play only men who are bona
fide paid up members in good standing
upon its roster; who are not aided or
induced to membership, nor maintained
therein In any manner whatsoever finan-
cially, except by their parents or guard
ians. This latter clause is intended to
cover such contingencies as the remission
Of dues, giving or promising to give en-
ployment, scholarships, patronage, trade,
or Inducements Of any sort that tend TO
the pecuniary betterment Of the player
OF this clause to fully cover such con-
tingency TO be met by Interpretation by
the executive committee in each and any
instance
ANY person who may have been drop
Ted from membership in any club,
member Of this league. for any cause
whatsoever. shall not be eligible to play
on any other team in this league"
Catcher Hayes of the Battle Axe club
the team which will most likely repre-
sent Richmond in the intercity series.
will not be able to do the backstcpping
against the local title winners. Last
Saturday he caught three innings for the
Richmond Virginia State League club
and under the rules of the amateur COM
mission is not eligible TO play in the
post-season series. President Young so
notified Vice President Dunn, OF the
richmond commission

committee.
