GAMES YESTERDAY.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Manager A. D. Butz, of the First
NJ p. team, of the East Washington
Sunday School League. intends to stand
by his decision to withdraw his team
from the league at the meeting sched-
uled for tomorrow night at the Ninth
Street Christian Church.
I'VE do not intend to stand for the
umpiring of Jaeschke, and as we have
protested two games and have not been
sustained, there is nothing more to be
done save withdraw" said DR.. Butz to-
day. I'VE are not the only ones who
have had to suffer. and we intend to
stand by our decision
A meeting of the league viii be held
tomorrow night, and at that time Butz
will again go after his point, which was
not sustained at a meeting of the cir
cult last night Manager Butz main
tains that as the manager of the Ninth
Street team and the president of the
league are one and the same, there is
little chance of getting much in favor
OF his team.
The First manager is somewhat
caustic in talking over the situation,
and II leaked out that the president of
the league stepped out of the chair to
defend the Ninth team at last nights
meeting. Those who have the inside
workings of the league at their finger
tips say that the protest of the First
team viii never come before the ANA
teur Association board of governors.
First protested two decisions rendered
by Umpire Jaeschke- The first dealt
with delay in the game after Ninth
player was removed. 1t was maintain
ed by the arbiter that after he had re-
moved the Ninth player from the game
time was called to get the crowd back,
and that during this interim the nintn
player of the team was in a uniform
and ready to take his place. The other
explanation Is given on the protest OF
a batted ball going into the crowd and
being grabbed by younsster, who
dove back into the spectators with the
ball.
Jaeschke maintained that he had
failed TO see the kid grab the ball and
that the board of managers of the
league had ruled that a batter was
entitled to as many bases as he could
get on a ball batted into the specta-
tors. AS IL happened, the margin of
victory was decided by one run, and
fer this reason the First players have
a healthy kick coming
Manager Butz declaration to the
managers of the league is awaited with
interest. and there are those who go
far enough to say that the First man
sger will bring the matter before the
amateur association over the heads OF
the league managers
What promises to be a game that
will draw out banner crowd Is that
scheduled between the Bankers and
Cornell at the Capital City League park
This afternoon. Bankers and Cornell
are nip and tuck for the leadership of
the league. and as the Bankers nave
been able to get away with me games
from the Cornell team lately, there is
a whole lot promised in the way of ex-
citement this afternoon.
Sherwood and G. p. O.. fighting for
the honor of winning the first half the
