SECRETARY Harry v. Shurtlen, Of tn
Amateur Association, presented the man
ayers OF the association with the list o
eligible players who are registered witt
the different clubs taking part in thu
series for the District title. In tn,
Eastern and Federal Leagues. where tn
champs are not yet named, the eligibility
list OF both contenders was put on file -
as to save future trouble.
In many cases the list shows the samt
players who were registered July Is. ant
the association IL well pleased to mote
that there was very little padding Of the
different clubs after the stated register
ing time. In one or two cases the
weaker clubs Of the leagues helped out
the pennant contenders by transferring a
star pitcher or q cracking good batsmar
to the title contenders of its league.
Secretary Shurtleff had but very little
trouble in the line Of transferring play
ers, and believes that the few shifts that
were made among the clubs to help out
their titleholders were but SO few and far
between that it will have but very little
effect on the coming battles in the two
different series.
The following is the eligibility list of
the six different clubs. who are all ready
to jump into the series:
