The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-08-15

que.
 This is the first year that the St. Mary.s have been pennant contend CTS since the days of Jim O'Rourke and Eddie Rowan, although they gave. the St Charles team a stiff battle eight years ago before they allowed the boys from the upper east side to lay claim to the chambionship of the Altar Boys Ieaegue.
 The directors of the society which the team represents are with the boys to the finish and have promised them a trip to the worlds series if they now a half game behind the Park Citys, the league leaders. The West erns have braced up a bit in the last | two. weeks and are now in third place, a game and a half behind the lead. CTS and they may prove dangerous. At the present the Park Citys, St Marys, westerns and White Sox are pepnant contenders but from where I sit it looks as though the old flag will be flying over on Pembroke street. Then again you never can tell from where you sit.
 Last Monday was August 10, and according to the bylaws of the lea gue no more players can be signed up and be eligible to finish the sea- son. The bylaws according to sec l ton 2 of the contract rules say. seAf- ter August 10,s no club can sign or trade any player. Any player signed 1 after August 10 will be eligible to play with the club that he has signed with the following season and accord l ing to the reserve contract rule he must play with that team. There l fore after tomorrow the fans will
 see no more new faces on the battle 1 field until next season.
 The St. Patrick's are out of the run ming for the championship, being five
 games behind the 'Rovers'' and as 1 there is but eight more games to be played they will have to make a won derful squirt to even improve their
 lawns they are hopelessly last in my Iopinion.
 As the baseball season hears its end and the leaves are getting ready to fall the city champi onsl1ip claim l editors in all towns. They will tell Iyou that they defeated the Oshkosh 1 Owls and the Kalamazoo Kats and | goodness only knows what teams they
 haven't beaten. At the present time | there are several teams in this city 1 that will be in that bodt in another lweek or two. When the Park City l league season is closed the cham 1 pions of the league according to their 1 bylaws will play the best team in
  I4opponents for the city championship p
 will be chosen by the board of officers | and not the board of directors as some l of the magnates think. The board of 1 officers is composed of President,
 Thomas F.. Magner; Secretary, Chas.
 B. Mahoney; Treasurer. Rev Thomas l P. Mulcahy. The Rosebuds are hit 1 ting a pretty fast clip at the present 1 but they will have to get square for
 the defeat handed them by the Still
 man A. c. before they will be recog-
 nized by the league and not only that
 but they will also have to go out and clean up the Athletics, Laure1s and 1 Longfe1lows before they dare lay
 claim to the city championship. The
 league directors have no objections
 whatever in regards to playing the 1 Rosebuds for the championship and i they will admit that the Buds have a very fast club but Saksa's men will have to show good reasons why they
 should be chosen by the board of ofh-
 eers as our opponents.
