BALL PLAYERS ON A STRIKE
Major League Stars Remain in Cali.
fornia Outlaw League.
ignoring Of National COMMISSIONS
Order Is Likely to Cause Con-
siderable Trouble.

San Francisco, Nov. There is prom
Use Of some lively times before the win
ter is over unless the major league play
ers wintering here give in to the National
Commissions mandate, or the latter
modfes its latest edlct regarding men
under contract from playing in the Cali
fornia League Big league ball players
now performing IN California have abso-
lutely ignored the order of the National
Commission that they viii be fined 800
for the first offense Of playing with one
of the outlaw teams and suspended at the
second ohense. There are more than a
half dozen in California now playing with
,he teams, and they simply laugh at the
order Of the National Commission.
Hal Chase. the greatest first baseman
in the American League and a member
OF Clark Grifith's New York team, is
playing with the San Jose club, and has
openly announced that he expects to con-
tinue.
George Moriarity, third baseman of the
Yanks. Is quoted as follows: I guess
they expect me to hurry back to Clark
Griffith and say, Here 1 am. Baseball
is my profession. The Eastern season is
over. came out here 70 follow my pro-
fessiOn. 1 suppose the National Commits
sion thinks Il can force me to return to
Chicago and work at my trade-if l were
so fortunate as to have one. I also sup
pose the commission thinks it could force
me to starve through the winter"
The above words express the thoughts
OF nearly all of the players who are out
there working with the coast teams. It
will be hard for the National Commits
sion to convince those fellows that they
haven't a right TO earn their living by
playing baseball when that is what they
are fitted for. The fellows will Just re-
fuse and probably be suspended. and
the Coast League will be delighted. for
it will then get the benefit Of their pres
ence next season.
The ruling Of the commission affects FL
mer Stricklett. Sandow Mertes. Tom
Hackett. Ben Henderson, Doc Moskiman.
Bill Moriarity, George Moriarity, Fred
Brown, Jake VOlteT. Strange, and Jimmy
Whalen, all of whom are already playing
with the outlaw teams of the State
League
The trouble is being brought on BY the
Coast League, which reported the affair
TO the National Commission. Then the
commission assured the Coast League
magnates that the players under agree
ment who played with the State League
would be fined and then suspended.
II is said that Hal Chase has been
made a fancy offer to stay with the San
Jose team. If New York can ot get him
back the San Jose club is ready to set
him up In business II he win stay with
the outlaws.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Alexandria, Va, Nov. 2-In spite of the
inclement weather, Athletic Day games
were held at the Episcopal High School
this morning, and were a great success.
Most Of the events were run in q de-
iuge Of rain, the track being in poor
shape; but nevertheless the half-mile
record was lowered by seven seconds,
and that Of the quarter was equaned.
Both Of these feats were ACCOMPLISHED
by r. F. Blackford, of the Fairfax So
ciety The mark for the $50 was placed
at I'll As, while the 40 was covered in
- 40 seconds. The work of Pendleton. of
the Blackford Society. was also of a high
order, he winning four first places and
two seconds, thus obtaining the hand
some individual trophy.
For the past three years a cup has. been
offered by the school 10 the literary so
Ciety whose members win a majority of
points on Athletic Day.
In 1895 the Blackford Society was VIC
torious. but last year the Fairfax turned
the tables on them. This year the Fair
fax again came out on top by p points
TO 30, and gained the permanent posses
sion Of the trophy.
After the track work was over the con-
testants and spectators congregated in
the school gymnasium, where each win
ner's name was read out by Mr. Reade,
and the prizes were presented by Miss
Crawford, of Gunston school.
The programme was not entirely com
pieted, as the pOle-vault and the inter-
society relay were postponed.

four-y ear-old FLY, Mannella, starting

half a dozen wins to her credit. All In
