HARD BLOW DEALT
TO PENN CREWS
Eight Varsity Men Declared
Ineligible by the
Faculty.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1S-The Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania prospects in
the American Henley regatta have been
dealt sudden jolt by the action OF the
faculty in declaring ineligible eight Of
the twenty-four men now rowing in
Varsity boats. This blow came ike
bolt out of the clear sky, and II had
been supposed that faculty restrictions
would be enforced prior TO the Pough-
keepsie regatta in June. This has here
tofore been the case, but this year
Manager Townsend has been furnished
list OF the eligibles for the American
Henley, and eight names are missing.
Five crews have been entered-a
Varsity eight. Second Varsity. an oc-
topede. four. and a freshman eight.
Now Coach Ward viii have TO shift the
crews about in accordance with the
faculty declaration Manager Townsend
was rushing wildly around college yes
terday trying to straighten out the
tangle. He succeeded In inducing the
faculty committee to permit men with
those conditions to row. but beyond this
they were obdurate.

The octopede loses three men, and will
probably be combined with the six who
survived in the second Varsity 10 row
against Yale in the race for second
crews. Emory, Atkins. and Foster are
the uDfortunates in the OCtOpede. IL is
barely possible that this crew will be
entered as representing the College
Boat Club. so as not 20 be amenable
TO faculty regulations. but It is more
likely that ii viii be disbanded alto
gether.
The thing that is worrying Coach
Ward most is how 10 make these men
eligible for the Poughkeepsie race.

KELLEY CASE
MA Y DISRUPT
COMMLSSION
Hermann and Johnson Direct OppoSiteS on
Status of WaShington's New Player Comiskey
Involved in Latest Row.

CHICAGO. May 1S-It looks very
much like an issue between those dear
old pals. Ban Johnson and Charles
Comiskey. and johnson, and Garry
Herman, over the case of Mike KEEL
ley.
Ban says he cannot play with Wash
ington-that he still is Ineligible, and
that It'll the American Association sets
him right he is barred Garry said,
only ten days ago, that Kelley was all
right; that he was a free agent, and
could sign any place he pleased. Act
ing on Garry's statement, CantiIlon sign
ed him.
It will now have to be fought out be-
tween Ban Johnson and Garry Herr
mann, with Harry Pulliam, probably, as
referee. Two stories were flying around
today-one that Ban had withdrawn his
kick and that Kelley would be allow
ed TO play: the other that the big presi-
dent was standing pat. and refused to
see any openings for Kelley.
A Chicago Theory.
Fans who have been wondering what
on earth Joe CantiIlon wanted Of KEEL
ley as an active player will understand
the situation more clearly If it is ex-
planned that Kelley wasn't counted on
as a Washington player for more than
a game or so. Cantillons idea is this:
BY playing Kelley game or two, and
thus obtaining the sanction Of base
balls highest company on his eligibil-
ity. he would be in good standing every
where. He was then to be sent back to
Des Moines, and used as playing man
ager of the Iowa team. This is the
whole thing in a nutshell, and another
day or two will doubtless show just
where Michael stands.

HOW GRIFFITH
BEGAN CAREER

Clarke Griffith broke into profess
sional baseball in 1888. His debut
was made at Milwaukee. He was a
little bIack-haired tyke. seventeen
years old. and with a pair OF keen,
piercing eyes.
The players on both the Milwaukee
team and the club that Grit was 20
pitch against laughed at the idea OF
such a youngster as Clarke having
the audacity TO try to break into
such fast company, and they had
quite a merry time at his expense
before the game.
Grif was given cast-or uniform
that had originally been worn by a
slant. and. as Clarke admits. after
he>- got into that uniform and
wrapped IL about his diminutive
form one could see nothing Of him
but his feet and his head. The op-
posing team made very merry with
the little pitcher, telling him that
they were going to send him back TO
the bushes, and so on
At first. Clarke says. he was so
nervous that he thought he would
have 10 funk at the pitching game.
but when the entire push began TO
kid him his fright gave way to an
ger, and the old fighting spirit re-
turned 70 the little fellow. The more
they joked him the angrier he got.
so when he took his place on the
firing lire his head was cool. but IN
his heart there burned a deep feel
ing of vengeance. What he did to
that fresh lot of BAN players has
long been n matter of baseball his

slow ban of his. won the game by

Case of Interest
To Baseball Fans

By THOMAS S. RICE.

Washington fans will follow the de-
velopments of the Kelley case with al
most as much interest as they did those
in the case of Jake Stahl. whom the
National Commission forced Washing
ton to sell. but, while the Stahl matter
was OF purely local concern, the Kelley
incident may attract the attention OF
every fan in the country because of
the complications between the American
League and the rest OF organized base
ball that may ensue.
At present the situation is this: Garry
Hermann, chairman of theD National
Commission. the highest court in base
ball, is said to have told Kelley that he
could play with the Washington team
until his case before the commission is
adiudicated-and Washington wants TO
play him. Ban Johnson, president OF
the American League. set himself above
the commission. OF which he is a men,

JOE THOMAS MAY
co To AUSTRALIA
Given Chance at CoI0nialS by
Ex-manager of Bill
Squires.

Joe Thomas, the crack California
weller weight, is IN big demand these
days. He has been offered match
with Joe Cans by Manager Jim Con-
roth and the negotiations are still pen
ding. In addition to this, Los Angeles
promoters have offered him match
and other club managers are anxious
to engage his services.
Possibly more important than all
these is the proposal of Barney Reyn-
oids, who came TO this country as the
manager of Bill Squires. Reynolds has
asked the welter weight to accompany
him to Australia, sailing on July Il.
Reynolds watched Thomas carefully
while the latter was training at San
Rafael for his meeting with Ketchell
at Marysville on July /. He formed
the opinion that Thomas would walk
through all available boxers in Aus
tralia without any trouble, once he be-
came acclimated. Tnomas would be
come the protege Of Bookmaker Jack
Wren at once and that big turfman
would back him in all his matches.
With such powerful influence behind
him he would be sure Of fair treat
menr in the ring.
Reynolds says Australia is fifteen
years behind the times in the matter
of boxing. AS Thomas has a wonder
full style il is expected that big crowds
would attend any matches in which he
would be a principal The prospect is
an alluring one for Thomas, who is still
young and who would appreciate the
chance to make a sporting pilgrimage
TO a foreign land
The future movements OF the Cali
fornia weIter weight will depend upon
the outcome of his present negotia~
tons for a match with Cans here.
