MIKE KELLY CASE
WILL BE CALLED
George Tebeau, Chairman Of the
Board, Will Call Meeting
. to Act,

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. George Tebeau,
chairman Of the board Of directors Of the Ameri-
can association, has been officially informed of
the action taken in the Kelley-Lydiard row. The
result will be that he will cali meeting Of
tho board which will settle the case one way
Or another. f' =.
Just when the board will meet Is not known
but all members Of tho board are eager to
have the case over with, it is probable that
meeting to handle the subject will be held
before the regular annual meeting next month.
Should members Of the board be too occupied
with other business, the case may be delayed
until the middle Of December. 49,. =.
+ The move of the national commission in dodg-
ing action on the Kelley-Lydiard case is causing
OF rendering decision for conviction or &C.
Quittal, referred the case to the national asso-
citation, claiming it was an internal affair. The
national association in turn shifted the case back
to the American association. - '>
The national commission rendered decision
on the official ball question in tho American
association. That, too, was an internal affair,
but the commission nevertheless acted on it. II
was presumed that so long as the commission
acted on the internal affair relative nto5 the
A.. A. it would do likewise In future cases.
For that reason the Kelley case was turned
over to it. But Garry Hermann, who holds
Pu1liam's proxy, probably thought that ''buttins
in'' in internal affair was enough, and orders
the case to the national association.
Just where the Kelley-Lydiard case will fin,
ish is conjectural. Should Kelley be found
guilty by the board Of directors Of the Ameri-
can association he may appeal tho case to tho
national commission. It would be the same
internal affair." and decision on the appeal Of
such internal affair would undoubtedly be inter.
esting. The commission might even come back
with joke decision as in some Of its former
