rRy Associated Press. ]

CINCINNATI, March 30.-The Ma
tional Baseball association made this
announcement today:
Attention is called to the published
claim that the Cleveland club has Sc
cured the services of Player j. B. Hem
derson of the outlaw Stockton club,
and that, in return, it transferred two
players to the Portland club of the
Pacific Coast league for his release.
The Boston club claims the title to this
player is vested in it.
IAN agreement has been filed with
the commission BY the Cleveland club,
whereby it releases Players Graney and
Breen to the Portland club, the con-
sideration being that the Cleveland
club shall have the pick of any player
of the Portland club during the season
of 1909. and, Furthermore, that in the
event that Pitcher Henderson is REIN
stated 1t shall have an option on this
players release.
THE evidence shows that the Bos-
ton National league club negotiated
for the services of this player with the
Portland club in 1907, and that he was
carried on the Boston clubs reserva-
ton list for two years. 1t appears,
however, that the negotiations for the
release of the player We're never closed.
TT further appears that the Boston
club was to secure the services of this
player for a tryout and that 1t was TO
give In return some consideration and
the choice of some players in the year
following the release of the player to
the Boston club. Had an agreement of
this kind been presented to the COM
mission it would have been rejected,
because all minor league players are
subject to draft unless they are sold
previous to August 20 of each year.
1.-The finding of the chairman of the
commission is that the Boston Ma
tional league club never secured title to
this player, and it's claim for his SER
vices is therefore rejected. 1t is evil
dent that the Portland club takes the
same view of this case or it would not
have entered into the agreement with
the Cleveland club. This latter agree
ment, being in proper form, will be ap-
proved by the commission and the
player awarded to the Cleveland club.

player has been removed by the ma
tional association"

One of the prettiest finishes OF the

have COPIED the capital prize with

bit slow in breaking, came alongside
Rialto, and at the back stretch turn

From that point to the wire they al

hackers of each had every inducement
to yell encouraging words to the riders
to keep his head up, boy" Ride him

Elizabeth HARDWOOD, overlooked in a
field of such dazzling speed, but car

After arriving at the Chutes the cere-

race, was hoisted, the Portland players
assisting in placing the pennant at the

The story of the game is told in the
first inning, principally, although after
the Angels had scored twice and taken
up the lead, only great twirling and
classy fielding enabled them to hold
that lead. The first three Beavers up
were retired in q hurry and then the
Angels went to bat.
Daley famed and Goodwin popped to
Breen, making the prospect for score
very gloomy at this period. Old Re
liable Dillon and his wagon tongue ap-
preached the plate and an infield safe
ty resulted. Howard wisely stopped one
of Graney's twisters with his ribs ana
was remunerated with free transporta-
ton to the initial sack, pushing Dillon
down to second. Dillon took a long
lead off second and ratified Catcher
Armbruster, who threw to center field
in an effort to catch Pop off the bag.
