Everything turned out as the fans had

As the result Willard if now tied with
Walford and Andrews for first position.
The tie will be broken today, at least
for one of the two teams that play.
Both managers and players of the two
teams, however, are confident that It
will not be them and promise to fight
to the last or the much-wanted victory.
The franchise of the Havenner team
has been withdrawn and reissued to the
Washington Times team. It will take
Havenncr's place both in the schedule
nnd in the league standing. Their first
game will be played Monday when it
meets Moses, and the fans will have a

Commission to meet.
I?
The governing body in amateur base
ball in the District will meet tomorrow
evening at Spalding's id so alter the vj
constitution that It will be possible to
have some systematic manner of invei
tlgatlng charges of ineligibility of play
ers in the different leagues.
Although certain forms of profession
alism are supposed to be prohibited, the
ways and means of producing proof ' ,
have never been properly outlined. A "J
sub-committee, composed of Robert H.
Young. James A. O'Shea, and M. H.
Beach, has had the question under con
sideration for some time, and I undr-
stand will offer a most stringent set of
regulations to the commission at tho
special meeting.
Howard declines. -
It was not surprising to see Austin
Howard, of this city, dany the report
that he will join the Chicago White So"x-
While at Cornell. Howard was under
the coaching of Danny Coogan, a per
sonal friend of Hughey Jennings, and
had the Washlngtonlan decided to go 'to
the major leagues. Detroit would prob
ably have first call on his services.
Instead, he has left for Pennsylvania
where he will enter upon a business ca
reer, playing independent ball whenever
he has the spare time. i
Recruit making good.
That fellow. Long who was picked up
by Mike Kahoe at Gadson. Ala.. In the
Southeastern League, is playing some
ball just now.
I have received a number of clippings
of gardes on the circuit, and seldom a
day passes that Long does not plaC
first class ball. He is leading off in the
batting order, and on Tuesday made
three hits out of four times St bat,
scored a run. had a perfect fielding av
erage, and stole a pair of bases.
Gadsden Is holding the lead in the
Southewestern League by a small mar-'
gin.
More sanctions granted.
W. G. Stuart, of the A. A. U. regis
tration committee, today sent me the -following
list of sanctions just been
granted by the board:
To the Baltimore Cross Country Cluh,"
for a three-mile novice race to be held
in Baltimore, Wednesday, July 12; to
the Washington Y. M. a A. for a long-',
distance swimming race to be held In
the Potomac river Saturday, July 29; to
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, of
Baltimore, for open track anj field
games to be held at Prospect Park,
Baltimore. Thursday, August 10. T-
t
East for Langford.
That alleged fight with Jack Fitzger
ald last night was simply a romp for-
Sam Langford. and, judging by the ac
counts, he could have won a much
quicker victory had he not wanted the
members of the club to get a run for
their money.
Although not in first-class shape.
Langford was master throughout th'e
five rounds, and, with Fitzgerald dis
posed of, is now looking for some more
formidable performers in the ring.
.
Going after players.
In view of the assertions that ball
players cannot be had, the following
from the Philadelphia North American
is rather interesting:
President Fogel, of the Phils, pur-
clrased a pair of rubber sneaks and
headed for the bushes. He told a friend.
who told a friend, who told a friend,
that he would be back with a star 0it-
