University of Illinois star, is out of
major league baseball Stahl has bought
the South Chicago Baseball club of the
Intercity association from George Nc
Gurn and John Hand. He will take
charge at once, and expects to stick to
the professional game from now on.
StahIs case is still before the national
commission, but the player said last
night he was tired of waiting for favor
able decision and accepted the chance
to break into the professional game
in Chicago.
There is no reason in the world why
/ should not win my case before the ma
tional commission or any other body Of
men," said Stahl, ''but it has dragged
along in such a way that | cannot at
a lot of money" Stahl had talk with
President Comiskey yesterday, but the
two could not come to an agreement.
The best offer Stahl has had came from
Boston, which club offered him a three
year contract, but the Washington club
later sold him to Chicago, which move
apparently did not meet with StahPs ap-
prevail. Before the season opened the
Washington club sent him a contract, but
he claimed that as he had an agreement

club refused to do, and the player will
now branch out for himself.
When Offa Neal, the Colonies right
fielder, left suddenly the other day to go
to his home at Benton. Ill.,, on private
business, it was believed that he would
return to his post of duty in a few days.
Since he left, number of the fans ex-
pressed it as their opinion that the heavy
hitting guardian Of the right garden
would not return to play again for tn,
home team. Whether the surmise of the
fans is idle talk or not it begins to look
as though Neal has played his last game
with the Colonies. The management has
not heard a word from him since he left

There was an interesting revelation at
Boston, when the fact became known
that Jimmy Collins paid out of his own
pocket big bonus to the Boston club in
order to gain his freedom and get to
play with Philadelphia. Philadelphia
also put up a bunch of coin, so the Bos-
ton management was we'll salved in addi-
