DISPOSITION OF CLAIMS.
Action Taken by the National Base
Ball Commission.

CINCINNATI Ohio. August 31--Before
taking up the drafting Of players from
minor leagues for which business 1t had
been called together. the national base ball
commission today passed on number of
claims by clubs and players that had been
heretofore submitted. The sale of William
Campbell by Harrisburg to Cincinnati,
which had been contested by Louisville, was
confirmed, the Louisville contention that he
was a contract jumper not being in accord
with the facts in the records of the COM
mission. 1t was also decided that the st.
Louis Nationals and Louisvilles both owed
the PLAYER for services, and that the
amounts must be paid Immediately.
In dismissing the claim of Dell Mason for
salary claimed due from Baltimore, the
claim not being sufficiently established, the
commission expresses its criticism of the
Baltimore management for It's failure to
sign a contract with Mason after having
purchased his release from Schenectady In
1904
ReIslng of the Tri-State League was de-
clared ineligible until he pays to the Brook
lyn club $119 IS, which he admits is due
Cheney is declared ineligible until he re-
nays to the Chicago American club the sum
of SllO advanced when he was on trial, but
the claim of the Chicago management for
the return of $50 from the BartlesviIle club,
that sum having been part payment for the
purchase of Cheney, is disallowed, the
transaction being held to have been irregu-

Cans In Fine Condition.

Champion Joe Cans is within TWO POUNDS
of the 1873 ringside weight, and his manager
Ben Selig, has ordered him to cut out box
ing in the future. This is done In order TO
eliminate all possibility of an injury to his
hands, which would be serious drawback
at this stage. The champion never looked in
better trim, and he says he is as strong
and as active as he ever was. Road work
will be his chief training stunt in the future
in order to keep his weight down, and also
to preserve his breathing. Britt is doing
nearly all outdoor work for his fight, as he
wishes to enter the ring full of stored up
I,itaIitv so that he can set a terrific pace.
The moving pictures which were taken of
the two liChtweights IN training will
be put on exhibition next week Judging
by the advance sale, which commenced
today. all seats will be disposed of by the
time the men enter the ring u week from

KERR DEFAULTS FOR
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, August 31.-The
fourth day of the annual tennis tourney
of the Potomac Club for the championship
Of western Maryland was productive of the
most brilliant playing yet witnessed at a
meeting in which some of the leading cracks
of the country are contestng. In the mems
singles Sammis of New York won the first
division contest by defeating Humphries,
and Geogehan of Washington won the sec
ond division contest by defeating Helntz OF
Cumberland, the present champion of the
Potomac club Geogehan is touted as
champion, and il Is freely predicted that
he will ealry off the honors in the mems
finals.
The match between Sammis of the first
division and Geogehan, winner of the Sec
ond d3visicE, was won by the latter with
the same apparent case that he has won
all his matches. His great strength seems
TO be in his accurate overhead smashing
SO far he has won every match without
apparently eXeIting himself to any great
finals, in which match he will play the
winner of the ird and fourth divisions
Armstrong CT Hagerstown won the third
division game and Drennen Of Wheeling,
champion of West Virginia, the fourth.
The scores in the mems singles were as
follows:
Sammis defeated Humphries. 6-3, IS;
Cieogehan defeated Heintz, 6-1.G-1; Geoge-
han defeated Sapimis, Go, 6-1; A Hunter

turn l just landed in town an hour or so
ago from Pawmuhikitinck on the Susque-
bash, where I've been fishing for a couple
of weeks. Course first thing 1 did was to
take squint at the top of The Star build
ing to see If the 'game-today' flag was
flying. 1t was. So 1 busted to the office,
turned my mail upside down, shook hands
with the elevator boy and started for the
ball yard.
Oh! What a Shock!
$50 far SO good. But just as I neared
18th street on my way to the cars the
first Of a long, long line of carriages
passed by. Funeral says I to myself,
and being polite, but not superstitious, l
decided to wait till the last section of
mourners bench had passed. But couldn't
see the end Of the procession.
Some big bug croaked, l think to my
self, and then for the first time took
squint at the wagon guests.
Suffering antelopes!! The carriages were
full OF ball players. And you all know
where that hit me. I could lose a field
broke setter or a herd of mothers-in-law
without whiting collar, but when it comes
to the sphere pets I'm all for the sob-thing.

A local fan, who is almost as ball-dotty
as Frenchy. but not as demonstrative, stag
gered into a downtown ex itement shop
one day last week, hung the front of him
over the bar rail and poured two glasses Of
ice water on his hair
"Terrible experence!' he muttered weak
ly; simply terrible! Awful shock. Be bet
ter in a minute. Gimme an inside drink
quick! Feel so shaky."
The barkeep knew the fan, and with that
pleasing intuition peculiar to high-browed
mixologists, realized that twas no time for
gentle dalliance. So he mixed drink that
had everything in it but the cash register,
and slid 1t across to where the, fan, in a
state Of total decentralization, was crying
bitterly md wiping a friends face with his
yegetable-silk kerchief. And yet the afore-
said fan was suds specialist and hadn't
climbed a tree since 1892, when he dreamt
three times in succession that the local club
had won the pennant.

The Mixed Doubles.
Ihe mixed doubles were finished with the
closest and most exciting match of the
whole tournament II. H. Dickey, Cumber-
land and Miss Harlan, PHILADELPHIA. won
the hrst division, defeating their opponents
with ease, while A. Hunter Boyd and Miss
DAVIS won the second division. This left
the two teams to play for the championshin
In the first set Mr.. Dickey and Miss Har-
IAN outplayed thelr opponents and won
by using better judgment in placing their
drives. Both teams played back and for
ward game. In the second and third sets
Boyds superb work at the net, backed up
by MISS Davis accurate placing and lob
bing from the back court, was too much for
their opponents, who did not seem able to
pass Boyd at the net, and even when they
did succeed in this Miss Davis would return
the ball, lobbing over Mr.. Dickey at the
net. 1t was any ones match all the Wav
through. and during the many brilliant
shots made by both sides the excitement
and enthusiasm was intense.
To Challenge Kerr.
In the mems singles there are still three
left to battle for the right to challenge Mr..
Kerr of Baltimore for the championship of
western Maryland and possession of the
challenge cup now held by Mr.. Kerr To
obtain absolute ownership of this cup it is
necessary to win it three years. Mr.. Kerr
has already won it two years, and should
he defeat the challenger this year the cup
which is an enormous silver loving cup will
become his personal property.
The three still battling for the right to
challenge Mr.. Kerr are Geogehan of Wash
ington, Armstrong of Hagerstown and
brennan of Wheeling. Mr.. Armstrong, who
has won thirty tennis cups, plays Dreu-
nan, and the winner of this match plays
Geogehan, three times champion of the
south. This is the final match and the
winner will challenge Mr.. Kerr.
