FAST GAME Of BASE BALL
NORFOLK BROWNIES DEFEAT

BY SCORE OF THREE TO ONE

Sharp Fielding and Good Work In the

stunt of striking out fourteen hard hit

Not score was made until the
sixth, when Reynolds lined a safe one
and came home on hits by Parish and
Gissman. Brueggeman tailed in the

Reynolds. Haak scored again in the

hit by Hoffman. Neligh's only score

CATTLE SHIPMENT IS ON
FIRST ECHOES ARE HEARD FROM
THE WESTERN RANGE.
LESS THAN IN OTHER YEARS

me western CattIe Range is Being
Invaded by the Homesteader and as
Result Less Range Steers Are
Sent to Market.
Cattle trains from the western range
country are beginning to pass through
Norfolk for the eastern market. For
some two weeks the first beginnings
of the 1907 stock movement have been
in evidence.
AS yet it is only the first echoes of
the big annual cattle movement from
the great northwest that is reaching
Norfolk, a few early trains of range
stuff headed for the Omaha and Chi
cage markets. The stock movement
which has just started continues until
November. 1t is heaviest in October.
With the big shipments at hand the
new year finds the Northwestern per-
haps better able than usual to handle
the eastward stock movement. But
the stock business this year is not
expected to set a new record; among
men in touch with the situation the
shipments as a whole are not expected
to equal last years mark. The range
is being cut up by the invasion of the
hOmesteaders and a decrease in the
shipment of young stuff west in the
recent past will, it is said, show its
effect in something of a lesser ship
ment east to market

What Influenced Commission.

THE evidence brought before us

gave Stahl the right to arrange a deal
for himself after Joe Cantillon had sue
ceeded Stahl as manager, and then de-
clined to sanction airy arrangement that
Stahl was able TO make for his trans

ed MIN, but in no case would the
Washington club consent to the deal.
That being so, there was nothing left
for US to do but to decide for the play

and acting fair TO both sides, was TO
give the Washington club and Stahl a
a week 10 come 10 an agreement, with
the prOvisO that II an agreement IS not
reached in that time we will set a
price on Stahls release, and he will be
at liberty TO purchase himself free or
have some other club purchase him.
The chances are that the Washington
club, rather than sell Stahl for cash.
will make one Of the deals suggested for
him"
The decision is one Of the longest
handed down by the commission for
some time, being about 1900 words in
length. 1t rccites in fun the evidence OF
both the Washington club and Stahl.

hours OF argument before the commits
sion on April g. in Cincinnati. The plea
that his release or transfer should fol-
low as matter of course because he did
not make good as a manager does not
appear to have had effect, and, besides,
Garry Hermann and Harry Pulliam are
known to have been violently opposed
TO it,
Distinct Compromise
The decision is a distinct compromise
and does not reflect upon t4e Washing
ton club. Manager Cantillon has been
trying to dispose OF Stahl TO the high
est bidder and he now receives the
gladstone intelligence that he may keep
right on trying. Stahl contended he had
a right 10 go where he pleased. The
decision says he may go, but where
the club pleases. Stahl said he wouldn't
play in Washington, and the club an
swered that under no circumstances
would IL try 10 force him TO don the
spangles here.
All Stahl gets out of the long dispute
rs an order from the supreme court of
baseball to the Washington manage
ment to get a hustle on and dispose OF
him before he dies of old age As the
owners need the money and want TO
realize on him while he Is still in his
prime, they are not at all aYerse taking
a piece OF coin or a worthy young ath-
lete for him as soon as they can fix I'D
