BY BRYAN MORSE.

A three-hour session Of the Anna
teur Association failed to close up
business at Spalding's last night and
President Robert H. Young an
nounces a meeting Of the board Of
governors for tonight, at which time
the various protests, intercity series,
and post-season series dates will be
gone over in order to finish up all
outstanding matters of interest for
presentation at next Mondays meet
ing.
Contrary to general expecttion the
dates for the post-season series for
the District amateur championship
were given over for consideration and
will be acted upon pending a reply
to correspondence with the Rich
mond authorities.
Two definite steps were taken by the
association at last nights session. Bal
timore will not be admitted in the inter-
city series for the reason that its or
gsnization makes no stipulations about
the representative team for the inter-
city series. Washington will wait
loreer before affliating with the Ma
ticnal Amateur Baseball Association.
Association officers think it possible
that the post season series will start
August IA. In order to get into the in
tercity series with Richmond 1t will
be necessary to run the long series here
before August 26. at which time 1t has
planned to play the first OF the double
Ecaders for the intercity title.
