The story, rs tdr i can get II from
the disconnected bits that have leaked
out from various sources. Is about as
follows:
How the Deal Was Framed Up.
The Washington management was en-
tirely ignorant of the fact that Stahl' s
case was 10 come before the meeting
OF the commission last Sunday in Gin
cinnati until President NOyes received a
telegram from Hermann two or three
days before the meeting. telling hin
that Stahl would be on hand 10 argue
his case. and that not only did wash
ington have rights which should be pro-
TecJed, but that the case involved susE
an important precedent that both sides
should have q complete hearing. Eresl-
dent Moves was annoyed, likewise
amazed. Also, he was taken completely
by surprise, WheTeupOn he took train
and hustled TO Cincinnati. He arrived
there a few hours ahead or the w ASH
ington team, which was scheduled 10
play there last Friday, and threw Can

the Grand Hotel
CantillOn had not heard a WORD about
Stahls appeal, and was taken or us
feet when he saw Hermann S tele-
gram They hOt-fOO1ed around 70 Herr
manm's office and had a talk. The
thoughtful Garry said he thought the
Washington people knew all about the
appeal through Johnson, as II was an
American League affair, and that he
sent his tip about attending the meet

he was another who was JOlted when
he learned that Johnson had given not
the slightest intimatiOn of the hearing

thing to attend the Stahl hearing. In
fact he never mentioned the subject.
Here's the rub; Johnson, a week be
fore he was seen by Cantiilon, had talk
ed over the Stahl situation with Herr
mann and told him II would be one of
the appeals that would have 10 be de-
cided last sunday. Yet he failed to no
Try the Washington management
The Washington contingent believes
that Johnson intended to leave II in
the lurch, have a decision made on
cne-sided hearing, forcing the club TO
sell OF trade Stahl. and thus butt di-
rectly into its private affairs. john
son has always been a Stahl booster.
He made Jake manager of the WASH
ingtOn club, and 1t is a cinch bet he is
trying at this very moment 70 force
him on Boston as manager although he
would deny that, for making denials
is as much Of a hobby with him as but
ting In. Stahl and Johnson are said
10 have gone TO Cincinnati together and
10 have turned up at the meeting OF the
commission together
II is also said that the most aston
ished man in Cincinnati was Ban John
son when he saw President NOyes and
Manager CantillOn IN the outer office or
the commission waiting TO make their
little talk.
