he could make money.

that the case was one that the probation
law was designed to meet.

ing to give him another chance he grant

KELLEY BARRED OUT
BY PRESIDENT JOHNSON

. CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 1.-THE ma
tional base ball commission held ses-
sion here last night to consider the cases
of Jake Stahl and Mike Kelley. Stahl
was sold by the Washington Americans
to the Chicago Americans, but refused to
play in Chicago. Kelley, who has been
with the Washington American League
team. was barred from playing by Ban
Johnson, president of the American
League because Kelley is under suspen-
sion in the American Association. The
commission decided to lay over the Stahl
case for one week to hear more evidence.
In the Kelley matter the commission
ruled that as long as Kelley is ineligible
to play in the American Association he
may he barred by any other league if such
a course should be desired by it's presi-
dent.
The claim of the st. Louis Americans
on Kelley was declared invalid. Kelley
may now play with any club wanting his
services as long as he is not barred by the
president of the league in which he may
enter.

Victory for Southern Railway.

Despite the fact that the contest was re-

citing in the Capital City League yesterday
afternoon when the Southern Railway team
defeated the government printing Office boys
to the score of to 6.
The game started as though it would
slipped up on a few chances, and were
not BY their lonesome. as the railroaders
played quite as poor ball when the game
was well in progress.
The SouthernerS got two runs in the first
on couple of miscues. sacrifice hit and
a single. They were BANKED up until the
sixth. when they found Riders delivery for
double, a three-bagger and home run.
and this coupled with a base on balls and
a stolen base. resulted in three more tai
lies. Two more were made in the seventh,
two hits an error and a sacrifice hit being
responsible. The Government Printers got
one in the opening round on an error, a
scratch hit and an out to the feeders. They
went down In order in the next three in
nings. but in the fifth they got two more,
resulting from single, a three-bagger and
couple of errors. In their half of the sew
enth they secured three runs which put
| them In the lead until the Southern boys
could get their swing on the ball in the
same inning.
A beautiful one-hand catch by Phelps of
a long welt by Farrell was easily the fea-
| ture of the game. The player got the ball
in one hand while on dead run, and Just
before the ball reached him he stumbled
and hooked the sphere while falling. The
umpire failed to see the play and was COM
PEELED to call the batter safe. the ball being
caught in the crowd in left field. Holly,
on short for the winners and Chaplin. on
second for the losers, played fast ball.

roller to Schlafy.
That ended the run-scoring of the White
Sox. but as Sam Bernard would say suf-
ficiency.
The Nationals went along in a sem-help-
less sort of way until the eighth inning,
when they dug their toes in the ground and
scored run. the only one of the contest.
Schlafy was given a base on balls. but
Heydon soaked the first ball directly at
Davis and double play followed. Big Tom
Hughes then laid back on one of Walsh s
straights that refused to break and Fielder
Jones chased it to the crowd in center field.
According to the rules the swipe good
for only two bases. Ganley then hit fast
roller to Davis that took bad bound and
got away from the short stop, the batter
being safe and Hughes on third. Ganley
thought he would try the bluff steal and it
went better than that of the Chicagos as
Hughes went over the rubber standing up,
the throw home not being even close 1t
was a good effort and demonstrated that
Ganley is on to the right tactics all the
time.
In the last inning Dougherty reached first
on mixup at the bag, wherein Hughes had
the ball knocked out of his hand. and went
to second on sacrifice but he stayed
there while Altizer and Perrine threw
Robe and Sullivan out at first. For the
locals, Perrine. Nil and Altzer went out
on easy chances and the game was over.
Following Is the official score:

The attendance yesterday was unusually
large for Monday, and demonstrated the
drawing powers of the worlds champions.
Manager Jones shifted his batting order
just before the game started yesterday aft
ernoon. and the change threw the score
card out of commission. Donohue was
pulled back into the sixth position and the
change did the "Jigger' good. as he got
