Four leagues this year will play I'M
der the Jurisdiction of the Amateur
Base Ball Association of the District.
The Rosedale. Government, Terminal
Railroad Y. NJ C. A. and Capital City
circuits are organized and ready to be-
gin their schedules about May /. -Four
leagues which operated last season will
not be in the field. the Potomac, Catho-
lie Church. Northwest Sunday School
and East Washington Sunday School
organizations having given up the
ghost.
Plans for the season were discussed
at the meeting last night, 1t was agreed
tnat the best thing to do under the
present circumstances Is to draft a new
set OF rules and do away with the
stringent code which has governed the
sport for the last five years. s. Edward
Beach and C. M. King, officers of the
associations, were appointed commit
tee to go over the entire code and ar
range the changes previously consid-
cred. Beach and King will get together
thursday night and the changes to be
made by them will be presented to the
Monday. Besides this matter. the appli-
cation for admittance to the associa-
ton of the Capital City League was
taken up and accepted.
10 Judge by what was said before
the association last night, quite small
sized war is threatened out in the
Rosedale League. 1t seems that the
members Of the organization got to-
gether and practically threw the Rose
dale club out of the league by refus-
Ing to consider 1t as the holder of a
franchise. The situation was placed
before the association in spirited Ian
guage, but the association took the
stand that 1t was a matter to be adj
1usted entirely by the league itself and
was something with which the associa-
ton was not concerned. The associa-
ton held that it had no authority to
enter into discussions relative to the
organization OF any league. The Rose
some ball out that way, and it is evil
dent that they mean to fight for what
they consider their right Just how
the situation will be adjusted is impos-
sible to tell. but it may be that amateur

their effect in the fifth, when Corey
weakened and was unable to force his
opponent away. In the sixth and sew

Most of the detail work of amateur

Shurtleff's shoulders, and now that he
is about to sever his connection with

somebody else. Shurtleff has been NOM
mated for captaincy in the Marine
Corps and has received orders to leave
Washington for a destination not made
public. He has been connected with
the Marine Corps for several years.
Shurtleff has done splendid work Tor

in any movement to further the inter-
ests of the game, and during his years
of service has won lots of friends. That
he will be missed by the game ana
