At the time appointed for the beginning

Athletics got through their inning with

Mike Kelley, whom Cantillon hopes TO

Kelley dropped of at Cincinnati Sunday
and had a conference with lawyer in
the hope Of getting the national commits

eligibility. Hermann and Pulliam have
stated, unoficially, that Kelley has a
perfect right to play here. so that all that
remains 10 be done is to either have John
son give some good reason for not allow
Ing Kelley to play or have him say that
the first baseman may join the local club.
Kelley's lawyer will make every effort
