SUIT IN BASEBALL. ~
Jake Stahl to Seek Damages From
National Commission.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Suits for
damages against the national baseball
commission and the Washington, Bos-
ton and Chicago baseball clubs of the
American league soon will be insti-
tuted by Jake Stahl, former manager
of the Washington club. 5f
Congressman James r. Mann is
Stahl's attorney and preparations are
being made to start the suits as soon
as the necessary legal papers can be
drawn. The amount for which he will
sue has not been made public.
Stahl will base his action on the al
legation that he has been prevented
by the defendants from following his
calling, that of a professional baseball
player, all season, and that thereby he
has lost tho salary of more than $4,000
a year offered him by the Boston club,
as well as heavy damages to his repu-
ton.
by the ruling of the national COM
mission 1 was stopped from playing
with the Boston club, and, by baseball
law. that club refused to take me,
after making me definite PROPOSE
tion," says StahI. "Owing to this
go to any other club in any league in
the country. 1 was barred absolutely
from professional ball. Accordingly,
I took up the semi-professional game
to support myself, but the action of
the commission and these clubs has
done me irreparable injury"
Jake StahI was manager of the
Washington club in 1905 and 1906.
Last October he was superseded by
Joe Cantillon, now in charge of the
American league tail enders. Accord
ing to the testimony given in his case
before the commission the Washing
ton owners, and T. c. Noyes in par
ticular, promised Stahl to let him go
to any other American league club he
might choose if a satisfactory deal
could be made.
Acting on this. Stahl opened up
negotiations with several clubs and
finally chose Boston. But no PROPOSE
ton the Boston club could offer was
acceptable to the Washington owners.
Finally a three-cornered deal was
proposed by the Washington club.
whereby Stah1 was to be traded to De-
troit for Mcintyre and O'Leary, and

Sedalia is very anxious to get another

However, as to change in the

seems to have been done but some
thing will have to be changed before

it's finish. AS to the Western league
on the face of the present dope and

PICK OF LEAGUE.
The Team to Play Wichita VIII Be
Picked From Western League.

Picked From western League.
Wichita, Kan, Sept. 2S.-The Eagle
says:
Inundated by the grand showing
made in the championship series season
of the Western Association this season
and by the good record made on the
northern trip by the Wichita team, the
aggregation coming to Wichita for a
series of seven games with the locals
under the name of Omaha, will in re-
atty be an all-Star team of the West
ern league The best players in the
Western league have banded together
to defeat the locals.
The series of seven games will de-
eide whether Omaha or Wichita are
playing a superior class of ball. and
also whether the Wichita team can be
beat in the Western league. The pres
tige of each league will be at stake
For long while it was thought that
there could be no game between the
two teams on account that a rule in
the National Association of Minor
Leagues says that champion team in
one league shall not play a team in
another lower league. This ruling was
laid aside by taking members of other
teams In the lineup and not retaining
the original team. President Rourke,
of the Omaha team, for a long while
failed to give his consent to the ar
rangement, fearing that 1t would hurt
his team should they be defeated
With the strengthened lineup his OBJ
jections passed away.
Gonding, Omaha's catcher. and the
best al-around backstop in the West
ern league, will be to the rear of the

Sanders form the pitching aggregation

Mcintyre, in turn. was to be traded to
New York for Joe Yeager. But when
called on to go through with the deal
the Washington club refused.
Stahl made up his mind that the
Washington club was set on asking
such exorbitant terms for his services
that he would eventually be retained
by that club. So he appealed to the
national commission to set a price on
his release, which it did, of $4,000.
Under this ruling the Chicago club is
alleged to have purchased Stahl, but
has never. up to the present time
formally offered him a contract, as is
specifically set down in the rules of the
commission VS.

Philadelphia, Sept. 27.-What is
pro badly the most important series of
baseball games in the American

Detroit teams, which are tied for first
place for the pennant, met in
their final clash of the year. Interest
in the race which has been growing
warmer as the season draws to a close

Everywhere the talk is baseball. Ever
since the local team, popularity known

While in round figures Detroit and
Philadelphia are tied. the Philadel-
phia club is really in the Lead The

players, accompanied by large con-
tingent ofqrooters from their home
city, arrived today from Boston full of
ginger and confident of taking the
major portion of the series. Up to

games, of which Detroit has won 10.

Polverde claim of the Jumbo Exten-

ledge in the bottom Of the shaft,
which, from present appearances,
looks as though 1t would develop into
a bonanza. The ledge thus far has
been penetrated for a distance of
nine feet and the bottom of the shaft
still shows good ore. The character
of the ore is identical with that
found on the adjoining properties,

ELDORADO CANYON MINES.
Many New Ones Being Brought to
Front in This Nevada Section.

NhdHy new OHeS DelnR W
Front in This Nevada Section.
Eldorado Canyon is making his
tory. From Mob Hill to the river, a
distance of sixteen miles, a num-
Der of mines are developing and pro-
ducing rich ores. This district, one
of the most favored in Nevada, has
produced upwards of $15, 900 900,
and the mines have not been
scratched. The immense ore bodies
in the canyon are the wonder of all
who visit this section, and biologists
who have examined the mines state
that without a doubt Eldorado Can
yon will be the biggest producer in
Nevada in the years to come.
Among the producing properties
are the Techaticup, Wall Street,
Black Hawk, Venus, Buster, Mocking
Bird, Quaker City, Silver Legion and
Silver Sphinx mines. The Techati-
cup has produced upwards of three
millions with the most primitive
under the most adverse conditions.
The Wall Street, Mocking Bird and
Silver Legion have also produced
large amounts. Yet the mines have
not begun to give up their immense
stores of wealth so carefully con-
cealed by nature.
Among the new companies to enter
this district are:
The Eldorado Consolidated Mining
Company of New York and Eldorado
Canyon. This company has secured
the Philadelphia group, consisting of
five full claims, adjoining the richest
producers in this section. The prop
erty is under the control of Jas. F.
Wisher of New York city.
The Honolulu group, consisting OF
the Honolulu, Kobe, Hagasaki and
Manila Lode mining claims, have
been purchased by the Honolulu
Eldorado Mining Company and have
commenced development work under
the management of Jas. n. Hall OF
Searehlight.
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1907-01-12

of about It's acres, to the original
possessions of the company.
This addition to the group now
gives the company an ideal area of
ground for their operations. Mr..
Raymond stated that the acquisition
of the Black Horse group was only
a question of time, and the directors
considered the time to act was when
the developments surrounding the
group were not fully appreciated by
the owners The consideration was a
very substantial one, but Mr.. Ray
mond was unwilling to state the
amount for publication.
When asked regarding the present
developments upon the property, Mr..
Raymond stated that the mine could
not look better if the management
could make it to order. An ore body
seventy-five feet in extent has been
developed by the company, and by
running a drift from one side and
a tunnel from the other side of the
chute of the body proper it will be
thoroughly explored within a short
time. Numerous stringers near the
surface are appearing in several
workings, the values running in the
ne~ighborhood of 800 per ton. The
company expects an exceptionally
good report regarding these string
ers when more depth has been gained
upon them.
The Ely Resurrection Company is
rushing development work with all
speed, the property has been we'll
provided with conveniences of all
kinds, and this organization of local
capitalists and mining talent can be
expected to give a decidedly good re-
port of itself during the new season.
