 of Sports

the fans Saturday at Walnut Hill park when the Burritt- Pirate game was called in the eighth inning with the score tied, this being made ne- cessary by the 4 o'clock rule.
 The game had been filled with | thrilling baseball and promised q spectacular ending. It had an i'm portant bearing on first place. As |
 the result of the tie score, two hours |
 Of baseball went for naught.
 Last year, regardless of the 4 |
 o'clock rule, games continued until |
 one team registered a victory. There l
 were about four overtime games |
 last season.
 Ever since the City League has i
 been organized. there has been con- siderable confusion both among the | Umpires and the teams over the in- depreciation of the o'clock rule.
 After the game Saturday, man. agers of the various teams stated that in their understanding al games were to be brought to deci- | sion regardless of the time. A glance of the rules, however, shows that 10 mention is made of tie games.
 AS result President Frank Anas- tasio has called a special meeting of the league managers this evening at 7:30 o'clock at the City Hall. It is expected that a rule will be adopted which will allow for the playing off oi tie games regardless of the time.
 Both the Burrits and the Pirates cracked badly in the <eighth inning when six runs crossed the platter and in the opinion of many of the fans, another inning would have decided the issue.
 Both the Pirates and the Bursts will find considerable difficulty in playing off the battle some evening within the next two weeks.
 Many fans expressed themselves as being plainly "disgusted' at the | City League rules while all of the | players voiced the same opinion The umprise had no choice in the matter but to call the game although | one of them stated that he thought | tie games should be settled and criticised the present rules.
 ,I-i1I Ia ing of the Sacred Heart A. C. mem bers at the club rooms tonight to decide the momentous question of whether the baseball team will play through the season or not. All members of the club are asked to be on hand because of the import ance of the subject at hand.
 The team will play the second game of series with the kensing- ton team next Sunday afternoon at Willow Brook park as originally planned but the future after that contest is uncertain.
 Manager Val Gay stated today that the team hasn't been making any money although it has consistently been drawing large crowds. The management is unable to meet the guarantees, reasonable though they may be, that are asked by visiting teams and therefore they are unable to bring high class attractions to this city.
 The question for the Sacred Heart l club is a momentous one because the team apparently has the best looking outfit in the city. It has already defeated all the local teams with which it has come in contact and it bids fair to take the semi-pro cham pionship of the city.
