The new cup seeker was hardly UP to

cured an injunction before Judge Dunno,

from playing with any other club this
season.
The club sets up a contract alleged to
have been signed by Davis, In which he
agreed to play this season solely for the
Chicago club. 555s-!s !.
T. Details OF a remarkable plan to bring
Davis into Chicago and play him on the
West Side grounds under the very noses
with injunct1ons against him. and then
spirit him away before any legal action
can be taken, leaked out in local baseball
circles yesterday afternoon.
It Is one Of the boldest plans ever con-
ceived by National league magnates, and
1t is certain to precipitate war.
Davis, however, will not enter the city
with his teammates. He will be dropped
of just over the Indiana border line to
pass the night, according to reports. Thus
he will avoid the officers who stand ready
to serve any. injunction on him as soon
as he appears in Illinois.
To-day, when Davis will enter the city,
will be a legal holiday, and the officers
can do, no. injunction serving then. The
same condition will prevail Sunday, and
before Monday Davis will be gone
James j. Hart, president of the Chicago
National League club, announced late
yesterday afternoon that If George Davis
played with the Giants to-day and the
locals lost he would protest the game.

1.-THE funniest home run I ever saw was
at Atlanta said Catcher Bowerman of
New York. IT was down there with a
major league team and we were playing
the locals. noe Of the. Atlantas hit the
ball away out in the outfield, and
Schaffer started after@it on a run. It was
a short hit and thought 1t would go for
a single. but the first thing / knew he
was running around like crazy man
and slapping his head. a
''The ball rolled back, but he paid no
attention to it at all, and instead Of field
ing 1t, came in on a dead run. The run
ner got around easy, and when I got up
to ask Schaffer what was the matter, he
was still slapping his head, and ] saw a
swarm OF hornets buzzing around him.
The ball had gone into that nest and
they were getting even with Schaffer.
