Cincinnati, February 4-Hal H. Chase, first baseman of the New York Ameri- can league team, and Jacob Weimer, pitcher of the New York National league team, was yesterday reinstated by the na- tional baseball commission on condition that they pay fines of s2O0 and $50, re- spectively. In the Chase decision it is said: Hal Chase was regularly under contract with the New York American league club during the season of 190s He left that club about the middle of his season, giving his principal excuse as ill health. The player went to his home on the coast and then joined one of the teams in the California State league, which is an outlaw organization"
 In the Weimer case the commission says:
 Tt appears that he was under contract with the Cincinnati National league club during the season of 1908 and was re- leased by them to the New York Ma tional league club about the middle of the season but the player refused to report to that club. Later on he was found playing with and against clubs harboring ineligible players in Chicago.

PabpAlau Fears WalaYia
 And Declines To Reb0Yf

Pappalau will not report to Birmingham.
 The veteran twirler states that he would exceedingly dislike to retire from base ball. but that he would not hesitate to do so were he compelled to run up against the malaria of the south.
 While Henry Meek, who has played against Pappalau, states that he would have made good in the south, it is true, nevertheless. that his refusal to report has not caused any wailing and gnashing of teeth Manager Molesworth was very calm under the blow, in fact, and if there was any serious regret on his face it did not show.
 But Utica, which club owned Pappalau, is very anxious to acquire Chick" Rober taille, although it is hard to conceive why. Utica writes that inasmuch as the trade Pappalau for Robertaille-is off on ac- count of the fact that Pappalau fears the climate of Dixie, the club would like very much to arrange for the purchase of the ex-Baron. Manager Molesworth was eleated, and it is safe to predict that the trade will be consummated. Although was elated and 1t Is safe to predict that his record last season would indicate, he did not give Birmingham good serv- ice and Birmingham wants him no more
