board of directors had reversed its decision
without any demonstrate of any kind. It
never lost wink of sleep on that decision,
said Holmes. Il knew it wouldn't go, and
so l didn't worry"
Wagner kept Al Maui a whole year nurs-
ing him in hopes that he would do the very
thing that he is now doing for thu Balti-
mores. He dropped AL just at the wrong
the right time. What was Wagner's bad
fortune was Hanlon's good luck. Maui is a
wonder, and no mistake.
There are ways and means by which a
ball player may be injured other than in a
game. barry .Steinfeldt has found another
way. Cincinnatis champion long distance
thrower injured his right hand SO badly in
getting off street car Thursday that he
will not be able to play or take part in
practice for some days to come.
Ed Hanlon says if Freedman attempts to
stop Holmes playing in New York he will
run up against more trouble than he has
any idea of, as he will run up against both
base ball rules and the courts. 1t is dollars
to dimes Freedman will receive his orders
about allowing Holmes the Polo
Grounds.
'.I'll venture the prediction that the next
TINA the board of directors is elected the
choice will not be made by clubs" said
Manager Bancroft yesterday. "The decis-
ion of the present board in the Freedman
Holmes case will settle that. Heretofore
club was simply named. The club could
send anybody it chose to represent it at the
meeting. This won't go the next time. The
name of the man to officiate on the board
will be placed in election. Instead of the
Cincinnati club. the Boston club, the Cleve-
land club, etc, 1t will be John T. Brush, A.
II. Soden, Frank Robson, ETC. The league
will take no more chances on such light
calibered decisions as given in the Holmes
case."-Cincinnati Enquirer.
Maui and Robinson of the Baltimores
work in game as probably no other bat
terry in the world does. They have no signs
of any kind. Maui puts the ball over with
cut telling Robbie by signal what kind of
ball he is going to deliver. No other pitch
er would dare do this for fear of passed
balls. For catcher to handle curves or
shoots without knowing what is coming Is
pretty hard job. MAUI and myself start
ed in without any signs said Robbie last
night. and we have kept it up ever since.
am not afraid of any of his shoots and
curves getting away from me- In fact,
there Is so little shoot and curve to his de-
livery that anybody can handle 1t. In that
lies his success. Another thing. he knows
just where every ball he pitches is going to.
