be thrown out of worl. because of the
high cost of white paper was said to
be question seriously concerning the
delegates to the sixty-second annual
convention of the International Typo
graphical Union. which begins here

through whose hands all new laws for

and new laws submitted by local
unions. The delegates began arriving
in large numbers today.
Shortage Viewed as Alarming.
John w. Hays. secretary and treas
urer Of the union, said the alarming
shortage of print paper is making 1t
difficult for many newspaper corpora :
tons to continue business, In some
cities. he said there was talk Of consol-
idating two or more plants to reduce
working forces and expenses.
That the union probably viii decide
to cooperate in a federal investigation

a statement was made in behalf of the
railroad managers that they were ire
vocably firm on the principle of arbitra-

gave up the principle the power of the
railroads to deal with their employees
would be forever broken" and that
hereafter they would be at the mercy of
the four brotherhoods.

The first game of the post-season

pionship of the District is to be played
today. Treasury. winner of the title
in the Government League. will meet

road Y. NJ. C. A. circuit. The contest
takes place at the Terminal 'Y"
grounds. just east of Union station.
the field on which the majority of the
combats were fought last season.
The series in section will not begin
until next week. as the championship
of the Potomac League has yet to be
decided. 1t looks very much as if the
Machinists will win, but there is still
a question about that. Little Is known
of the comparative strength of Treas
.ury and Auditors The former played
in a much stronger league, but whether
or not that is an indication it will
prove better than Auditors is q matter
Of conjecture. Not much can be said
about the two clubs until they have
actually appeared on the field against
each lother.
The game this afternoon is to xtart
the umpire.
The RoSeda1es took the measure of
the Gibraltars in the decisive game In
the Rosedale League yesterday. the
score being to 1. In winning that con-
test the Rosedales became the cham
pions of the circuit. The contest was a
pitchers battle between hewitt and
Kelly. The former held the Rosedales
to four hits. and the Gibraltars were
able to connect safely only three times
with the delivery of the latter. Not
one player of either club got more
than one hit. Kelly had few more
strike-outs to his credit than Nevitt,
but there was little difference in their
work.
Mike Moran played brilliantly at
short for the Rosedales. His fielding
was about as good as has been seen in
the league this year. Several times
he cut off grounders and threw out men
when it looked as IL the drives were
going to be hits. Dyer and Zannelli of
the Rosedales and Girardi of the Glib
raltars also fielded exceptionally well.
With the winning of the champion
ship in the Roseda1e League by the
Rosedales, there is but one league in
which the title has yet to be decided
the Potomac. The Machinists by win
ming two straight have acquired a
lead which places them in a very ad-
vantageous position. 1t will be quite

but he did not get as good support and
did not keep SO well scattered the few
hits he allowed the Machinists.
After a rehearing last night of the
case between the Machinists and Steel
Plant, in the Potomac League. the
Base Ball Association failed to reverse
its earlier decision, when it ordered
the league to stand by the umpire, who
declared the contest forfeited to Ma
chinists by Steel Plant. The game re-
| ferred to is the one in which Steel
Plant left tho field because two Of its
| players were elected by the umpire, and
| upon not taking the diamond again
within two minutes had a forfeit de-
clared against it. The league ordered
the game played over. holding that the
/ Steel Plant team could not have taken
| the field and could not have played be-
cause the diamond was crowded with
| spectators.
The Machinists carried an appeal to
the Amateur Base Ball Association, and
+, it was there held that it was a matter
/; of the umpire's Judgment, and his ac-
| tfon should stand. Upon another ap-
peal by Steel Plant last night before
! the board of governors the following
| statement was given out:
| After a full hearing and careful con =
sideraNion of the forfeit game of July
28 between the Machinist club and the
Steel Plant cub Of the Potomac League
it appears that the game was legally
forfeited by the umpire, and the board
can find no reason why it's former de-
cision should be reversed.
