Secretary Shurtlef to Make
Known Releases and Reg
listers of Players.

The local Amateur Baseball Associa-
ton intends to make the managers
and league officials live up to the laws
of the constitution. Each week a re-
port will be made by Secretary Shurt-
left on the releases and registering of
players by the clubs under the associa-
ton. which will help the managers Of
the teams a great deal.
These reports will show on what
team player is playing and is one
move which the magnates have made
toward lettering the game. By these
reports a manager will be BILE to know
the different clubs with which his play
ers have signed and it will help a great
deal toward putting down the forfeit
ing of games which has marred the
sport this season

ton during the past week:
