I letic Club OF the Capital City League
was elected temporary chairman. and

/ The first question before the house was
I as 90 whether or not the officers consti-

would be necessary at this gathering "a
elect a new commission. The latter prop

I lowing this. II was decided. as In years

BASEBALL NOTES
AND COM MENT

It's an old trick 10 use Elephants IN
a Tiger hunt. And It usually works.
Ed. Ruelbaeh Is after Jack Chesbro's S
pitching record He has chalked I'D
twelve straight victories.
Joe Jackson, the outhelder recalled by
Connie Mack from Savannah, has been
one Of the leading hitters Of the league.
Outhelder Red Farrell. OF the Marion
Ohio League team. just signed by the
Yankees, was recommended to Presi-
dent Farrell by Coach Duke Farrell.
News items from the Southern MIchi-
gan League says a catcher was struck by
lightning on a ball field, while the umpire.
behind him, was unhurt. How blindly
lightning works.
In regard TO the temporary suspension
Of Umpire Tim Hurst, It is interesting
10 note that the Philadelphia Club has
made no official charge or protest to
President Ban Johnson.
The respectful attention accorded Ira
Thomas in New York indicates how re-
gretful they are that Griffith didn't do
a thing 10 the big catcher. But II took
Connie Mack to bring him form.
The injury TO the ankle OF Russell
Blackburn. the Providence shortstop, for
whom Charley Comiskey gave 5000. will
almost certainly keep him out OF the
game for the rest Of the season.
The injury to Hal Chase Will prove a
handicap to the Yanks, although Jack
knight has been covering the initial sack
in admirable style in the two games he
oficiated at the corner. Knight IS get
ting to be a mighty handy man.
Big jim Vaughn. the soutnpaw pitcher
whom the New York Americans consider
their property. was out pitching 20 the
Red batters before a game recently IN
Cincinnati The Highlanders left Vaughn
with the Macon team last spring, and
now Griffith has him under his wing. 1t
is up to the National Commission to de-
eide whether he belongs to Stallings o.
Griffith
Il have relieved Hurst from duty"
said President Johnson. 4 have re-
ceived no reports from Philadelphia
concerning the incident, but have re-
Ieved Hurst from duty pending these re-
ports. which ] expect 20 receive IN a
short time. The relief from duty is in
definite. but 1 do not consider It a sus-
pension. .'-(Quotation from Chicago 'Des-
patch')
