Blue and Gray Trackmen Show

Count in Field.

Returning athletes OF the Georgetown
track team today lay the blame OF
their defeat at the hands of the Naval
Academy track men at Annapolis In
the first dual meet to the fact that there
were too few men I'm Blue and Gray
suits to successfully cope with the
Middies.
Georgetown went down TO defeat
by 81 As to q is. getting but four first
places In the field events Georgetown
suffered heavily on account of failing
to have more weight men and the in
ability OF We!dmann to come up to
expectations.
EIIer made good in both hurdle events
and scored a second in the shotput.
Eddie Horter was not In the best OF
form ia the 100 and furlonS, falling

AMATEURPL PLAYERS
DRAW SUSPENSION
Sandlotters Who PaIyed With
United States League Team
Are Automatically Barred.
MUST MAKE APPLICATION
Members Of Sherwood Team, of
the Central League, Appear
on Team Against Brooklyn.
MUST MAKE APPLICATION
By BRYAN MORSE.

Several of the players now enrolled
on amateur baseball teams are likely to
be thrown out of the amateur ranks
~ result Of having played with the
Warrington team of the United States
League in yesterdays game against the
Brooklyn organization.
According to the constitution of the
association of amateur baseball leagues
Of the District of Columbia, the players
selves from further participation in
games e-1ong the amateur, and must
petfticI NE association to be allowed TO
enter the ranks again.
The constitution also states that II
players take part in games with teams
under organized baseball and not under
the commission after June 1 they VIII
be barred from amateur games here
Practically the entire team that faced
Brooklyn yesterday was that represent
ing Sherwood in the Central League.
Heck, Clements. ONeil, and Rhodes are
members of the Central League team.
and are apt to find themselves unable
to play until after June without special
dispensation from the amateur assocta-
tion.
The ruling in respect to the violation
is clear enough and the players will find
themselves opposed by the entire COM
mission when they apply for reinstate-
fRent.
Besides the players mentioned.
Nocne, catcher. is well known among
the amateurs as hte Waverly catcher
in the Capitol City League. Russo is
also one of the sandlotters In all
six have violated the constitution
and must apply to the association for
reinstatement They will not be al
lowed TO represent their teams when
next their organizations make an APP
pearance
This matter of dodging the consti-
tuition was threshed out last year by
the amateur body and IT was decided
to safeguard the interest of the game
here to such an extent that reptti.
tion Of the case would bring about
indefinite suspension.
There are at present two ways OF
getting around the constitution. In
the event that the players make ap--
I.lieation Immediately, the letter OF
the law would be filled IL they play
up to June 1 and then make appl!ca-
tion they could yet join the amateurs.
This much. however. is certain. The
players have automatically suspend
ed themselves and will be barred. from
further participation IN the amateur
games until they have squared them
selves with the amateur association.

Conrad B. Doyle. title holder, who now
has possession Of the General Johnston
Cup. c. NJ Bull, jr. Of New York, and
Frederick c. Inman, Of New York, will
meet in this event. having won their
way through.
A distinct surprise of the tournament
yesterday was the defeat Of Wallace
johnson, the Philadelphia crack. WHO
had literally breezed his way through
to Inman. No one expected the New
Yorker to have a chance to defeat the
player, who ranks him several numbers
In the official Lawn Tennis Association
rating. but the Metropolitan man was
not to be denied. and came through
with even better tennis than he is
thought capable Of maintaining.
Inman won by 6-2. 4-6. and 81. while
Herbert Doyle succumbed to c. NJ. Bull,
jr., in the lower half of the bracket.
Miss Eva Baker, District champion
