1,p came at Union League Park Sunday,
when The sherwood-G. p. o. contest was
staged.
Cornelius wanted the proceeds of the
game 10 be turned over to the league.
This the managers refused to do, ac-
cording to reports One manager refused
to nut his team on the field to claim a
forfeited game, and wrangle ensued.
A meeting of the board of managers
was called on the field, and it was de-
cided TO stage the game, calling it a
championship affair, the winner to get
the title in the first series and the pro-
'ceeds to be given to the teams. Sher-
wood won the contest.
Now Cornelius states that he will not
remain at the head of the circuit He
rendered his resignation yesterday. and
while it has not been accepted by the
board OF managers, he will positively
quit the league

The Y. NJ. H. A. team lost fifteen
straight games in the first series, and
still came back for more. The Printers
were handed a rude jolt yesterday. and.

b Lefty Wooden is simply going wild in
the Federal League, pitching for Buck
lOliverfs Fairmonts He has worked in
twenty-one innings TO date. and has
famed thirty-three men. which is some
record
In a five-inning game he struck out
twelve. A seven-inning contest gave him
twelve whifs, while yesterday he famed
nine. in nine innings. Wooden. together

Frank GoebeI the ball tosser who was
injured Sunday at Union League Park,

The Ninth team, of the East WASH
ington Sunday School League, will play
a double-header on the Fourth of July
at Waterford, Va, with the strong club
of that place. The entire team will take
the trip. and a fast article of ball is
promised the Virginia fans.
Arthur Reir yesterday resigned as
manager of the Ninth team, of the East
Washington Sunday School League. Hei
gave as his-reason the many differences
arising between the officials of the
league and himself
Cotton Beach will more than likely be
signed by the ST Stephens club. of the
Marquette League. Beach is having a
good year on the mound, and should win
many games for the Marquette Leaguers.
Inky Davis arrived yesterday FROM Gin
cinnati. While with the Reds, Inky was
unable 10 throw over to first base, and
as a result was lie. out by Joe Tinker.
He visited Bonesetter Reese at Youngs-
town, but the visit failed to do him any
coed. He will more than likely apply
TO the association for reinstatement and
play with the Bankers.
