President Carlson ruled that mas
much as Hinckley had used a player
who was outside the mileage limit
established by league bylaw the
game was forfeited to Beroun, 9 to
0. This decision was overruled by
the Board of Directors by a vote of
four to two, Directors Cunningham,
of Sturgeon Lake, Simonsen, of Askov,
Whiting of Willow River, and Olson,
of Bruno voted for overruling the de-
cision, and Miller, of Groningen-Bass
Lake and Carlson, of Sandstone, voted
to sustain it. The Directors who
voted to override the decision ex-
planned their vote by the fact that
proper notice to the spectators of his
intention of protesting the game had
not been made by the manager of the
complaining team.
To speed up the finish of the Pine
County League season, the Groningen-
Bass Lake team withdrew their pro-
test of the game between Hinckley
and Groningen-Bass Lake, the game
which the Appeal Board decided must
be played over if either Hinckley or
Groningen-Bass Lake became con-
tenders for the pennant. That with
drawal gave Hinckley five wins and
two losses and tied them with Stur-
geon Lake for top place in the second
half. A playoff game was arranged
between Hinckley and Sturgeon Lake
on Sunday, Sept. End, and on a toss
up, Sturgeon Lake won out as the
place that it was to be played.
