The Indians split games with Windsor, losing here in Hertford last Thursday by a 3-2 score and turning back the Rebels in Windsor on Friday H-2. Then they nosed out Klizabeth City 6-5 Sunday afternoon, (iames with Elizabeth City on Monday and Edenton Tues day were rained out. Ted Miller, Rebel pitcher, turned back the Indians in the first game of the Windsor series, after the Rebels collected three runs off Bauer in the second frame.

The Windsor club appealed Otkey's decision to the directors, who after hearing a complete story, both sides of the matter being presented by the president, voted to allow'Windsor to retain its franchise, but ordered the club fined $300. It was following this decision that Oakey tendered his resignation which was rejected by the directors, who requested Oakey to re consider the matter until Monday. Speaking of the situation on Mon day, Mr. Oakey stated, I am con vinced that the control of baseball in the Albemarle League requires a strong hand. All directors agreed in this view when the league rules were adopted prior to the present season. I was doubtful at the time that the directors would support the president In a decision to enforce their rules in case where ''the blue 'chips were Jown,' and only accepted the presi dency upon the- assurance that the support of the directors could be (counted upon. t "The Windsor case is the first real Jest of the rules and the authority of the president to enforce them. The directors have failed to sustain that authority. From this it appears that they do not want the rules strictly enforced. If that Is true, they have the wrong man for president of the league and my resignation is in order. "If they do want the rules strictly enforced and will give the president authority to do so, I agree to continue in office for the remainder of the sea son under the three conditions." These conditions having- been unanimously accepted . by ' the direc tors, the league .will', continue with (the same officers as elected at the or ganization of , the league last winter.
