Special to The Washington Herald.
Cincinnati. Ohio. April 5.-There will be
big doings in Cincinnati tomorrow at the
meeting of the national baseball commits
sion. and Washington viii be deeply in
terested in the result.
President Tom Noyes. of the Washing
ton Club. arrived here this afternoon TO
appear before the commission. Manager
Joe Cantillon. of Washington. who is in
teregted IN Western League affairs, re-
NAMED here tonight sending the team
TO Dayton in charge of Capt Schlahy.
The game here to-day was postponed
because Of wet grounds and freezing
weather.
Washington's interest in the meeting
Of the commission lies in the peculiar APP
peal made by Jake stahl, who managed
/ the Washington club last year. He has
taken the stand that a player who has
managed a team and been dep0sed, or
forced 10 resign by combination Of cir
eumstances. so that he Is in bad, should
not be compelled 10 play on the same
team which he once managed, and under
another man. This IS a rather novel
proposition. and the action Of the base
ball supreme court will set an important
precedent
Stahl claims that "A playing manager
who has failed IN the job as manager
would find his position under another un-
bearable. and that the club he once han
died should be obliged 10 accept any
| reasonable terms for him; in other
xsyorEe abos4f9 eef . ,,rioo o.- t,tr, F7rae.f-
dent Moves and Manager Cantiilon will
oppose this proposition as setting dam
gerous precedent. and Stahl viii have 20
make a stir fight if he expects to get
away with his appeal In the meantime,
the fact that stahl has appealed has
about put a stop FOR a moment 10 propo-
sitions to send him 10 Boston.
To Get Tannehius
And in the Iull. the iatest dope is that
! Washington is not enough in need Of in
/ ielders 10 make a strong bid for Parent
! for Stahl, but would trade Jake for Jesse
Tannehin This Tannehill rumor hit The
camp this afternoon, and looks like the
real dope. lie is said TO be the culy
man ia the Boston outfit who might he
obtained who is really wanted by Wash
/ ington, and as President Taylor. of the
Bostons. is In need Of StahTs services, the
/ trade may be arranged on that basis.
/ Washington is willing, and il only re-
mains 10 be seen now whether President
/ Taylor considers Stahl is worth the vet
( eran pitcher.
Nj Taylor and Ban Johnson were to
/ have had "a conference in Chicago to-day,
aud possibly they may have an under
standing. with Johnson acting ia the ca
[ pacity OF mediator between the bargain
I ing parties
CanullOn retains his confidence In Per
/ riRe as regular short stop and Nil as u
utility iniielder, and Is known 10 be de
/ termined. as far as possible. TO open the
/ American League season with the line w
which the Washington regulars have pre-
