The decision Of the court in the Tebeau
Injunction case puts the national league
in a ridiculous light. The court held that
no me had been imposed in that while the
directors asked President Young to fine
the player, and President Young notified
Tebeau that he had been requested to tine
him, he did not actually impose the fine.
Section % Of the leagues constitution says
that the president shall have power upon
proper proof to infilct a fine for any Of
tense, the fine not TO exceed $500, which
fine can only be RENTED by the board of
directors. The Offenses referred to are dis
honest playing characterization, careless
ness or other conduct prejudicial to a
clubs interest. 1t seems that President
Young Is responsible for the farcical end
ing of the Tebeau matter. Instead of car
rying out the Instructions of the directors
he merely reiterated their wishes and
made bad botch of the affair. Now that
Patsy Boliver has been vindicated and the
incident closed the magnates will make a
bluff at stamping out blackguardism next
season.
Amos Rusie is out in a forty-page
pamphlet, explaining his position in re-
gard to his trouble with President Freed
man. Instead Of wasting his time on
these documents, Ruse had better get
back into the game as soon as he can.
The longer he stays out Of it the worse
ne VIII De Wnen ne gets back. fuSlet
when in good condition, is considered the
premier pitcher of the league. This is
conceded. His relations with Freedman
are such that he will never be of value
to the New York club, and it is probable
that he will be traded with some club for
another player and cash bonus, or sold
outright But the stubborn Mr. Freed
man says it shall not be. He shall play
with New York or roll cotton. A divorce
between Rusie and the Giants" would
be good thing for both parties. Why
not push 1t along, gentlemen?
1t is said that Jimmy Manning wants
to sell his franchise in the western
league, and that he has his eye once more
on the south. Manning's failure in Kan
sas City this year is surprise. He spent
lot of money trying to give that city
a good team, and it is to be regretted
that he did not succeed. Last year he
made a mint of money, but this year it
Is doubtful If he cleared much over ex-
penses.
When the Atlanta club failed in the
southern League there was six weeks
salary owing the players. The men did
not get what was due them, and they
are now going around the country tell
ing their troubles. If Atlanta had stayed
OUT OF the Southern League and had put
d cluo IN the Southeastern there would
nave been no disarmament, and the play
ers would have received their salary
FIlcher Mcmahon has entirely recovered
from the trouble that prevented him from
pitching while in the west, but it is said
mat his arm-that is his salary arms
now troubling him.
George Stallings' Detroiters are forging
gnef way to the front in great shape.
IAey are now in third place, and if they
rep up the present pace they ought to
nave a show for the pennant
me Nandykes and the Oglethorpes, two
cams composed of young boys, played a
5ame of ball yesterday, in which the
.aAdykes were victorious by a score of
- 10 II. Hesse and Sack were the bat
ysIF Tor the Vandykes, and McCallum and
'"Ahle for the Oglethorpes
mere will most likely be a game of ball
