The national base ball commission has re-
fused the request Of Pitcher Bell to have his
name stricken from the reserve list of the
Brooklyn club. Bell called the attention of
the commission to the case and stated that
he was not fairly treated by Brooklyn. and
therefore he would not play with that club.
The commission ruled that he had been
drafted by Brooklyn. and that he ignored
his contract. Bell Is now playing in the
outlaw league
Pittsburg has bought back Patsy Fla
herty. the southpaw, whom the Pirates sold
to the Columbus team of the American As
ISOLATION at the start of the season. Fla
herty has the best record of any Of the
pitchers in the association. Barney Drey-
fuss. president of the Pittsburg club, adj
mitted the other day that he made mis-
take when he let F1aherty go. as he would
have been a great aid to the Pirates. Lie
field is the only left-hander the team has.
and he has been very effective.
Capt. Kelley Of Cincinnati learned from
outside sources that waivers had been
asked on him. Waivers were asked on Kel
some time ago, and all National League
clubs have waived claim to his services.
"That means" said Joe, 80 far as l can
see that any deal that may be made for
me will be with some American League
club. 1t Is purely a business matter. and I
have no objections to make to any fair
proposition, though l think l should have
been notified officially by the club instead
of being left to hear it from outsiders. AS
to nv managing the Baltimore cluI, that Is
all In the air. and have no idea whether
anything will come Of 1t or not. waivers
have also been secured on Tom CorcOran. ?,
Plank still leads the pitchers in the
American League with a record OF nineteen
wins In twenty-four games. Lever heads
the National League twiriers with seventeen
victories in twenty-one games.
According to the New YORK Globe DC
Graw's men seem to be anxious for the
end Of the season. and are just as anxious

willing to wager that they can beat Grif-
fith's men.

the team at all In inside work. and worry
