 Owing to the extreme hot weather of Monday last the weekly meeting of ] the league directors was called off The>regu1ar weekly meeting next rzaezlx will be held, however, and all dfreetors are requested to be on hand to ap- prove all outstanding bills.
 The St. Mary club as well as the. directors of the league have a arfev- ance with the Brookstde club former
 members of the league owing to the treatments the 'Hopefu1s~ received at the Meadows last Sunday. When the Brookside club resigned it's member ship in the league they wished the df- rectors of the organization Godspeed and promised to do all they could for the success of the league and went so far as to give the league sole pernais- sion@to use the. Meadows for Sunday basebalI.S
 Last Sunday the seHopefuls'' and the St. Patrick's were scheduled to play at the east end grounds and when they arrived at the playing field they discovered and to their astonishment that the Athletics and Rosebuds had received permission from the Brook sides to use the field. The %Saints'' made the best Of 1t and hung around until the opposition had finished their game which was about 4 o'clock and then they took the field finishing their contest as the church bells to1Ied
 The officers of the Brookside club may not be to blame for the shameful trick. There are a few members of this club who are not even officers  that they hold the whip-hand. The officers of the club should in vestigate the affair and see who is re- sponsibIe for the ungratefu1 trick and when the guilty ones are found out they should be ridden from the club on 8, rail. As for the Rosebudss we'll. they seem to have first choice on all grounds in the city at least in their own opinion.
 Nearly all amateur baseball clubs in the city at the present have an a.p- Ipropriatexn nickname. The Rosebuds at the present are travelling under the non de plume of t.Buds''. hereby rechristen the club the 'tDiamond Hogs owing to their desire to grab nearly every diamond in sight regard i less of to whom 1t belongs. Arbiter Parfitt will be seen on the Meadows to-rnorrow for the first time
 in nearly a. month It is a fine thing l to ump 8 game near your own donni-
 ciIe instead of going five or six miles
 and the ump will be glae no douDL to hear the good news.
 1 The league has but four more games. l to play and the Park Citys are still l in the lead with the ssHopefuls'' but l 8 half a game behind and the White
 Sox. are also looking dangerous, they
 being but two games in the rear of the leaders. If the Westerns lose to- morrow and the Park Citys win the Braves are out of the running for the
 championship.
 The most attractive game to be played tomorrow will be .the St.
 Mary White Sox game at the
 Meadows The Sox if they win will
 be but a half game behind the Hope fu1s" and within reaching distance of the flag, then again if the ''Hopefuls'' win and the Park C4tys are defeated the east side boys will step into first place Judd and Egan will be in the l points for the Sox and Schorndorf and DonneTy will work for the Hope
 fuls'', these four men alone are ad- l vertfsement enough to draw a record
 breaking crowd to the east end. News has just came over the wire I that the secretary of the Brookside
 club has given president Magner writ
 ten permission for the use of the
 Meadows for the rest of the season,
 That proves my statement that the l officers of the club were not to blame
 for the discreditab1e affair Of last l Sunday and furthermore they are in~ vestigating the affair and the cutprits
 if they are located will be hauled on
 the carpet Hats off to the Brook
 side A. c. and it's capable and efficient I board of directors.
