and BILLY" Evans of Youngstown, Ohio.
have been retained by the president of the
league. The new appointee is young
man OF the name of ]. F. Egan, to sue
coed Jack" Stafford
Johnson also explains the status of J.
Garland Stahl. who. it is said. with Dor
lin must be restored to good standing by
the national commission before either can
play ball.
StahI contended that he had an UNDER
standing with the Washington club that
he was to be sold to a certain club In the
American League. Boston being favored.
The deal could not be made, as Boston
refused to pay the sum demanded by
Washington. Stahl's release was then
sold by Washington TO the Chicago Amer
lean League club. with the sanction OF
two members of the national commission.
Stahl refused to play in Chicago. His re-
lease was then transferred to the Boston
club by Chicago as consideration TO oD-
tain Parent. Boston sold him to New
York. AS Stahl declined to play ball with
the Chicagos last year, and did engage. In
games outside of the national agreement
circuit Johnson insists that he must be
formally granted permission to play with
New York be fore he can take part in any
games in this city. He may be fined, too.
Frank BOwerman has not signed with
the Boston club to which he was eX-
changed by McGraw. He has written to
a New York base ball friend that he will
report to the Boston club at Augusta. Ga,
for spring training, and that probably
means that he will sign his contract when
he Joins Kelley.
