H-MANAGER STAHL' s
LATEST APPEAL
Wants Case Reopened So He
Can Name the Position
He Win Play.

Ex-Manager Garland Stahl has appealed
to the national commissions, as told in a
special dispatch from Chicago. to reopen
his case. as he cannot come to an agree,
ment with the Chicago club, to which or
ganization he was recently sold by the
Washington club. The papers In the case
we're received from President Hermann OF
the national commission by President Noyes
this morning, and make interesting read
ing
In his plea Mr.. Stall says that the Wash
tngton club had no right to sell his release
to Chicago unless he agreed to the transac-
tion, and wants the com-.ission to set a
price on his services as he and the local
club had not come to an agreement ac-
cording to the directions Of the supreme
court OF base ball. In winding up his plea,
Mr.. Stahl weakens his case, as he says the
Chicago club wants to play him In posi-
tion that would weaken his reputation as a
this 1t can be taken that Stahl not only
wants to dictate to what club he shall be
sold, but also the position he will play. To
reopen the case along these lines would
bring about a pretty state of affairs, but
as the commission has already created a
comedy of errors out of the affair there
is no telling where the matter win end.
President Hermann tncloses two letters
II.
Johnson Of the American League, In re-
CARDS to the ex-manager's plea. The one
to Mr.. Stahl reads as follows:
Il hereby acknowledge receipt OF your
petition Of May e. VIII send copy there
OF to my colleagues at once aud ask them
to give an expression OF their views as
quickly as possible. note your reference
to the reservation rule and also the opin-
ion you received from your counsel with
respect thereto. Is 1t not fact that when
you signed your contract with the Wash
ington club 1t contained clause as fol-
lows: Tt Is further understood and agreed
between both parties to this contract that
they will respect all the conditions and
provisions of the national agreement
'If 1t did and you signed this contract
voluntarily, did that not give them q right
to place you on their reservation list
The one written to President johnson Is
as follows:
IT send you enclosed copy of petition re-
iceived this morning from Player Garland
Stahl, also copy OF letter have written
him. think under the circumstances we
should make finding IN the matter as
"My own opinion is, the finding of the
commission IN this case speaks for itself
as clearly as it can. In my Judgment the
the provisions OF that finding. It Is my
further opinion that their course in this
matter should be sustained, and am free
to say that in support thereof finding
can be written out justifying such an ac-
ton, even taking under consideration the
summary Of the evidence or statements
made by the commission to which the
player calls attention in his cornmunica-
tion."
From this last letter it can be seen that
the issue is again up to President Johnson.
as President Pulliam of the National
League will doubtless side with Mr. Herr
mann. as he did in the original case: The
question now before the public Is whether
Mr. Johnson should he favor Mr.. Stahl in

When Kitson hit Coughlin with the ball,
in the first inning, it looked as if the cap
tain was gone for this series. 1t took five
minutes to bring him around.
Coughlin slet a slow one hit him in the
sixth. but was not allowed to walk. He did
better, tearing of base hit for himself.
Schaefer in the second inning hit one
through the box at lightning speed. Kitson
threw up his glove to protect his head and
the ball bounded off right to Cross feet for
an easy throw. 1t was a close call for
Kitson.
