Baseball Season
Opens June 9TH
Seven Teams Entered

Homestead, Pa, May 9-Last
Sunday in the Cleveland West
Sachsenheim the T. S. ]. A. of6c-
ers met with the managers of the
Baseball teams for the purpose of
drawing up the Baseball schedule
for the summer.
A majority of the managers
were present at the set time and
the meeting was promptly gotten
under way.
The main topic of discussion
was the type of schedule that
would be used for this year. After
some discussion motion was
made seconded and passed that
round robin type of schedule be
used for this summers baseball
activities.
All managers were notified of
any ineligible players that were
on their lists and warned that
violations would be penalized by
forfeitures of games in which
these players were used.
Discussion was turned to the
officials who had been employed
in the past for the governing of
several of the past years games
1t was decided that no person
who was in any way connected
with Saxon organization could
be qualified to umpire any of the
league games. All managers were
asked to try to get their officials
to present credentials as proof of
their ability.
1t was decided that the new
ruling which specifies that bat
ter may attempt to reach lrst base
on a missed third strike. would
not be used in the T. S. J. AS
baseball league.
A notification to the effect that
the Youngstown Junior Saxons
Club would again sponsor the
Swimming Meet which was to
have been held in Homestead was
read and all plans were being
formulated for another successful
affair. The Homestead club could
not see its way clear to undertake
this activity due to the fact that
they had just recently begun to
function.
The Cleveland West group
have set the date for the Track
Meet for July IA. Final date for
entry in this meet will be the 18th
of June. Entries will be accepted
until the first session of the con-
venticn is called to order. There
will be no extensions of time for
entry in the Track meet.
All baseball managers are ask
ed to be especially careful that
they do not use ineligible men in
any of the league games. The
final date for the receipt of Injury
forms for baseball players will be
the day prior to the first game,
Iune lst. Forms must be in the
hands of Secretary on that date
