ACTION DELAYED
ON TWOPR0TESTS
The East Washington Sunday
School Board Fails to
Settle Bitter Wrangle.
RULES BACK JAESCHKE
American League Regulations Sustain
Umpire in Decisions on Which
Arguments Are Based.
BY c. w. SWAN.

No action was taken on the protests
Of the First NJ. P. club at the meeting
Of the East Washington Sunday School
League, held last night at the Ninth
Street Christian Church
Manager BUtZ, of the First NJ. P. club,
were won by Ninth. In the first protest,
he states that Umpire Jaeschke had no
right to allow Ninth to uniform a player
after putting Broome out of a game,
while in the second he states that Umpire
Jaeschke should have made Bell stop at
second base instead Of letting him go all
the way home, when a ball batted by the
Ninth player went into the crowd and
was carried away by a youngster.
In the first protest. Umpire Jaeschke
apparently is in the right. The American
League rules state that an umpire may
call time at any period of the game, for
any reason. Jaeschke called time to put
a ninth PLAYER out of the game He
later gave Ninth i've minutes to resume
play. II is claimed that Jaeschke should
have forfeited the game to Reformation
then. as Ninth had only eight players on
the field. During the five minutes allowed
the Christians to resume play, a player
was uniformed. and the game proceeded.
The second protest deals with the small
boy. who picked up a batted ball. and
ran into the stands. This enabled Ninth
to defeat First NJ. P. Tuesday, as the
batter. Bell, completed the circuit of the
bases. First NJ. P. claims that the batter
should have been held on second base

is promised at the meeting tomorrow

Central League in the first series. To-

T. r. Burr, a promising young catcher
of this city, and formerly of the Southern
Railway team and Southland team of
the Independence League, has returned
home, and his services are now open TO
any of the local teams. While in St.
Louis he played with a number of fast
amateur teams. and he is particularly
anxious 10 catch on with one of the
local teams.
The Pension Bureau team handed the
Tanglewoods a neat surprise yesterday
IN the Federal League, getting away
with a to victory. This team has |
been considered the weak sister of the
organiza ton. but it looks as If the other |
clubs will have to look out.
Manager Stanton. of the Petworth I
club, of the Federal League. will carry
a protest to the boars of governors of |
the amateur association when that body |
meets again.
When the Federal circuit was reduced |
to a four-club league the first series |
was declared closed, with Petworth the !
winner But the winner of the first Sc
ries will not play the winner of the sec
ond series for the championship of the !
league The team which wins the sec
ond series will represent the league in
the post-season series.
Manager Stanton viii ask the board of
managers for a ruling In this case. The
Petworth team won the majority Of IL
games up to the time the league was
disrupted. and Manager stanton thinks
that il should be given chance in the
final series IL some other team wins out.
