JAKE STAHL
UPHELD BY
COMMISSION

CINCINNATI May The national
commission today rendered a decision in
the Jake StahI case
The decision might be characterized
as three-cornered decree
The commission recommends that the
club either give the player his release
for a price as desired. trade him 10
some other team, OF, I'm the event that
either OF these plans rail. the connis-
sion viii take IL upon itself 70 iX a
Nalue on the player. for which ne may
purchase ms own release or be turned
over 70 some other club.
The decision is virtually q victory for
the player in that IL forces the Wash
ington club to give him up on one
Of three propositions
"Weu, that takes the cake" SAID
President Ton Noyes, Of the Washing
ton baseball club. when told OF the
commissions decision this morning 1t
is the most ridiculous decision 1 ever
heard Of iu my life. and 1 do not know
what TO think
Pulliam, the other members of the COM
mission. rather fooled YOU by voting
with President Johnson, of the American
League Mr. Noyes was asked.
III certainly looks like that man con-
trolls the other two" was the rejOinder
Continuing Mr.. Moves said.
1 am 50 surprised at the decision that
do not know exactly what 10 saw
about our future plans. One thing is
certain: We VIII no more trade SIahI
now for what we consider less than his
real worth than We would have done
before. We will wait and see what We
can get for him. and if the other clubs
think they can land him at a cheap
price because the commission saws We
must let him so, they VIII be much
mistaken If they don't make good Of
ferS we will just sit tight and see
what the commission considers a fair
price for him.
4 don't know on what grounds the
decision WAS made. but III 20 was on
the facts in the case about our prOrniS-
inE him the right 10 trade himself / am
still firmly OF the opinion that there
was no justification for IT,"
When told Of the decision OF the Ma
tiOndl Commission in the Stahl case this
afternoon. Manager CantillOn said.
The situation is sull the same as
ever. as it gives the Washington club
the power to trade or sell StahI a priv
ilege which IL always had.
The club has been trying to make a
deal for the former manager ever since
he refused 10 play here. Two weeks ago
I made an OFFER of an even trade 10

ULTIMATE FATE or FISH.

an observsnt Fisherman.
"Fish never die natural DEATH"
said an old fisherman who has OBJ
served as he flshed. "If they did.
bodies of dead fish would be floating
ON the surface Of the water about an
the while, because such bodies If IN
molested would have to float
Il mean, Of course, fish in nature
never die a natural death, not fish in
captivity And perhaps it should not
be called natural death that fish in
captivity die. Their environment in
duces mortality that fish In their ma
tive habitat would escape, and these
causes might be properly classed as
among the accidents that carry the
captive fish off.
III fish in their native element were
never molested l believe they would
never die. II they had sufficient food,
which would be impossible If they no
longer preyed on one another, there
would be no reason for their dying.
1t was to prevent such uninterrupted
tenure of life that all FISH were made
ilercely predatory If not remorselessls
