The Exeter Laerasse team suffered defeat by the St. Marys team in a league match here on Thursday after. noon last.

Rttleet Out. The protest entered by the Exeter Lacrosse team against the Parkhill team for playing mon under assumed names, has been sustained, together with that entered by the St. Marys team, and Parkhill has been ruled out of the league entirely, The Globe com- menting on the matter says:—" At a meeting of the C, L. A. Judiciary held Tuesday at the Bassin House the Park- hill anti 1) udeel% L;ecrossu Ch.,bs wore suspended from the association for the remeiuder of the season for playing a number of Brampton players under as- sumed names in direct violation of the rules. The Secretary was directed to notify the six Brampton players who took part in these matches to attend be• fore the Judiciary to show cause why a recommendation should not be made to the Canadian Amateur Athletic As- sociation, but it was finally decided to adopt the course above indicated. If the C. A. A. A, find these players gull• ty of professionalism they will be for- ever debarred from playing any more lacrosse in this Province, The dispute between Barrie and Orilla was settled by the match being ordered to be play- ed at Barrie and the expenses of the Orillia team to be paid by Barrie. The members of the Judiciary expressed their regret to find that a number of the Brampton players had been guilty of playing under assumed names in di• rect violation of the constitution dur- ing the season, and were very much surprised that such should be the case particularly in face of the fact that these same players refused to join the C. L. A. this season because of its al- leged corruptness in the past. It would under these circumstances have been expected that these " gentleman " would be the last to corrupt and bring into disrepute the association.
