The following explains itself
In regard to the rumor that is going
around that the officials OF the Central
League have been lax in their duties, ii is
only fair that the blame rests where
IL belongs. In the first place, we did
rot have a copy OF the amateur COM
mission rules. We could not keep track
of every ball player in the city. There
are any number of players here by the
same name In regard TO Housman. II
is a fact that he did not play until he
was told by su-offfeer Of The commission
TO play. No protest was made at the
time, or, in fact, at any time TO me. !
Our rule states that the same must be |
made within forty-eight hours. In the |
case Of Spalding, he played in one game |
which was a tie game. and was later lost !
BY Sherwood by forfeit 1t seems that
the only time that Mr.. Stanton took a J
chance was when he played Mccarthy. |
of the Sherwood team, vet he was told
by an officer of the amateur commission
to play him, with his understanding that
Sherwood had dropped out of the league,
which was not the case. I told Mr..
Dougherty If he protested the game, !
waverly would lose II. He did not do |
so. and It was not up to me to go out
looking for trouble, because I know |
what II is. I have received but one pro- I
test the entire season, and that was not |
allowed, because II was a standing, rule |
to sign a player just before a game was
played. I have called meetings and only
one manager attended, and l do not be-
lieve there has been a day that Mr..
Cornelious or I have missed a game
We are not supposed TO get there before
the game and stay until It is over. Mr..
Stanton wants the commission to re-
consider his case. Our league will hold
a meeting at the park before the game
Monday and see II things can be fixed
to suit all concerned. ] would like to
see Emerald and Wayerly play one or
more games and the winner meet Kenil-
worth for the play-off. Mr.. Stanton re-
quests all his players TO be on hand and
ready to play either Kenilworth or
Emerald.
