Childs Goes to Cleveland.
BALTIMORE, MD., April 2l.-Judge
Phelps this morning handed down de-
csion in the case of the Baltimore Base
ball Club against Clarence l.. Childs, in
which he denies the prayer of the plain
tin for permanent Injunction restrain
ing Childs from playing with any
other ball club than Baltimore.
The Judge holds that Childs is
not bound by the preliminary arrange
ment made with Manager Barnie last win
ter because it was not sufficiently specific.
In other words, it would not have bound
the Baltimore club had they been inclined
to throw Childs overheard. For this and
other reasons the Judge dismissed the
case. Childs will now go to the Cleve-
land club,
Behind the Bat.
Duffy was fined S65 yesterday in Boston
and ordered off the field for talking back
to the umpire. Good
Jones may have been technically right
when he declared Dunlap out at third
when he rolled from the base after break
ing his leg, but it was rather strained
construction of the rules, that not even
the Baltimore men would have insisted
upon.
About the only available second base
man now at liberty is Gilks, unless he
has been signed since Thursday. He is
a rafting fielder, \ batter and all-around
player.
The facts in connection with Dunlap's
accident are as follows: "Dunnie' led
off with hit and went to second on q
passed ball Then Visner made hit
which sent him to third Nisner started
to steal second. The ball was thrown
down and he ran between the bases
in order to let Dunlap score when Wise
threw the ball to Gilbert. Dunlap slid
back to the base feet foremost "a danger
Gus way of sliding, by the by), and his
left leg turned under him, breaking the
bone Just below the knee, in the same
place it was broken several years ago.
The accident lost at least one if not more
runs for Washington, and possibly the
game.
Hart covered centre yesterday in good
shape and besides made two corking sin
giles.
Smalley atteuIed to second base all
right and batted well. In fact, the "po-
nies' did about all the playing.

cided the baseball suit Of Prince and Wag-
ner, the old brotherhood men, against
