Should the Washington club leave It
up 10 the commission to put a price
on Stahl a most interesting situation
would arise. Ban Johnson has been
touting StahFs game ever since Jake
broke into fast company He forced
Stahl on Washington as manager and
is believed to have q design 70 force
him on Boston in the same capacity.
Johnson has boosted StahI on all sides
as player and manager Hence, Il
might be imagined that Johnson would
demand that The commission set a high
figure for such prize package, a figure
that would be in keeping with the fuss
that has been kicked up over the ex-
cOllegian. On the other hand. none of
the American League clubs seems in
any hurry 70 get him at any price. and
II johnson causes him TO be valued
too highly he might not get a Job at
all, which would be a cruel blow and
exc most notifying experience for
both Johnson and Stahl-almost as NOR
tfyinS as would be the necessity for
making the terms very low in order to
catch a bidder.
The Washington management Is very
much interested In this probable price

seems inclined 70 let the case drag lust
TO see what the figure would be.

Ganley has attracted less attention in
the newspapers this season than any
other player on the Washington team.
This vas well for the young man. He
was taken for granted as being the
goods in his place. Any surplus boost
ing would have done him no particular
credit and adverse comment might have
hurt his playing. He has been IN the
position of the country which is happy
because 1t has no history But here we
wish to extract Ganley from his shell

honeyed phrases for his work yester-
day.

look at it. lie found an aged woman in
charge. She said, in reply to questions
that the place belonged to lawyer down
in Boston named Webster.
What rent do you pay:' asked the
amused owner.
Rent" she exclaimed. II donb pay
any rent. It's bad enough to live here
without having to pay for it, and if
