be expected to be better than ever this

CINCINNATI. March 17.-Fines of

American League. Columbus American
Association. Chicago American League
and New Orleans Club by the National
Baseball Commission to-day for mis-
leading statements in agreements for
transfer of Players Gessler. Robe and
Dundon.
The Columbus Club submitted its
agreement with the Bost on Americans
for the sale of Player Gessler part of
the consideration being delivery by
Boston of Player Congalton or Player
Harris. This point was not in the
copy of the agreement on file with the
commission, and. furthermore, Player
Harris was not at the time with the
Boston Club. Declaring that the real
facts had been concealed the fine was
announced, with the threat that
a repetition of the offense would~bring
much heavier penalty.
The Chicago-New Orleans offense
was secret agreement for the re-
lease to New Orleans of Players Dun
don and Robe as part consideration for
purchase of Players Manuel and AtZ
by Chicago. This proviso was not in
the original agreement of sale as filed
with the commission. The same warn
ing is given in this case as in that
