According to the decision handed down
by the National Commission yesterday.
the Washington Baseball Club must dis
pose Of Jake Stahl by a trade. sale. or
release.
Ever since it was exclusively announced
IN The Herald several weeks ago through
a telegram from StahI, that the former
manager would refuse positively to return
TO play with the Nationals. the case has
hung fire, and the decision of the supreme
court OF baseball is not likely TO change
conditions, for the present at least.
Ever since Stahl refused to Join the
team for the training trip the officials Of
the club have been anxious to trade the
big first basemGn and they have no in
tentiOn 10 change their course because
Of the verdict of the commission. The
officials were rather reluctant TO discuss
the case yesterday, and while they were
evidently greatly surprised and disap-
pointed at the decision. they made little
comment. President Noyes said that the
board of strategy has been anxious for
the past two months TO trade Stahl but.
as no suitable offer had been made. it
had been decided TO keep the ex-collegian
on the rolls.
Even though Unglaub has been a de-
cided success at first base. It Is understood
that Boston is still anxious to land Stahl.
and some deal in which Grimshaw or
Tannehill might figure may be put
through.
As he can never again wear a Washing
ton uniform the next move of the club
will be 20 make a good trade but. ac-
cording 20 an official. the management has
no intentions of letting SJahl go unless it
feels that il is getting an equal trade.
In case no trade is made within the next
couple of weeks, il viii be interesting to
see what valuation the national commits
sion might put on StahL
Aside from the decision in the Stahl
case. the biggest bit of news for local fans
yesterday was the announcement Of the
resignation Of George Hun as manager Of
the Boston Americans.
Last year the strain Of leading the Hub
ties was TOO much for Jimmy Collins, and
one Of the grandest third basemen that
baseball has ever known had TO give up
His own playing was affected. the team
went 10 pieces. and il was the laughing
stock of the American League. This year
the burden of managing the team fell
upon Chic Stahl, but he could stand it only
a short while and committed suicide
Then came George Hun. the University
Of Illinois baseball coach He lasted only
two weeks. and his resignation leaves the
club without a guiding hand.
According 10 a statement given out by
President Taylor Captain Unglaub will
be made manager and viii direct the club
under the guidance of Taylor.
Boston is certainly the most Inflated
team in the American League, and, while
Hun gave no reason for his sudden de-
cision. it would appear very much as
thought most of the trouble of the club
had been brought about by the interior
ence Of those higher 10.
Rain broke mp all the BAH games sched-
uled in the city yesterday. Most Of the
Athletics and the Nationals spent the
greater part Of the day lounging about
their hotel and, in the evening, the two
teams attended the theater as guests OF
De Wolf Hopper. Providing that the
grounds are ia proper shape at o'clock
hostilities will be resumed this after
noon
