Trees had been EST president since 2003. He has been involved with the sandlot circuit as a player for Lawnton, and later as a coach and administrator, since 1978.
A scheduling dispute between Middletown and Dauphin arose when the Brewers requested a move of Saturday's second game (a weather-related makeup game not on the original docket) earlier this week because they would only be able to field eight players.
Citing league bylaws that he said govern makeup games differently (both teams must agree on time and site), Trees ruled that the makeup game would be moved again -- this time, to July 22 at Dauphin -- when the two clubs couldn't come to an agreement on another date and location.
Reached Saturday, Dauphin manager Jay Malehorn admitted that he vigorously protested the move to Trees. Trees said he resigned in response, saying his frustration level in running the league had been "building for some time" and that Friday's incident was the final straw.
Saturday's originally scheduled game between Middletown and Dauphin went off without incident. Dauphin won 3-0.
Trees said league treasurer Joe Pomone would take over, effective immediately.
