Little League International has stripped Jackie Robinson West of the national title that the Chicago team won last summer after an investigation revealed it had falsified boundaries to field ineligible players. ''This is a heartbreaking decision,'' Stephen D. Keener, the Little League International president and CEO, said in a statement. ''As painful as it is, we feel it is a necessary decision to maintain the integrity of the Little League program. No team can be allowed to attempt to strengthen its team by putting players on their roster that live outside their boundaries.'' The team's manager, Darold Butler, has been suspended from Little League activities, according to the statement.
