STATUS OF PLAYER HENDERSON
National Commission RuIes Former
Outlay ReIonRn to Cleveland.

CINCINNATI. March 31.-The National
Base Ball commission today announced the
following ruling:
Attention is called to the published claim
that the Cleveland club has secured the
services of Player J. b. Henderson Of the
outlaw stockton club, and that in return
land club OF the Pacific Coast league for
bis release. The Boston club claims that
title to this player is vested in it.
An agreement has been filed with the
commission by the Cleveland club whereby
they release Players Graney and Breen to
the Portland club, the consideration being
that the Cleveland club shall have the pick
or any player of the Portland club during
the season Of 1909, and furthermore that In
the event that Pitcher Henderson Is rein
stated into organized base ball, that they
shall have an option on this pitchers re-
lease. This being a dispute between an
American league club and a National league
club, under the agreement the right to the
player shall be established by the chair
man of the commission without the aid of
his associates.
The evidence submitted shows the Boston
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 list for two years.
II appears, however, that the negotiations
between the Portland club and the Boston
National league club for the release of the
player were never closed.
II further appears that the Boston club
was to secure the services OF this player
for a trYout and that they were 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 pre-
sented TO the commission 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. The finding OF the chairman of the
commission is that the Boston National
league club never secured title to this player
and their claim for his services are there
fore rejected. 1t is evident hat the Port
land club takes the same view of this case
or they would not have entered into the
agreement with the Cleveland club. This
latter agreement being in proper form was
approved by the commission and the player
awarded to the Cleveland American league
club when the ineligibility against the
player has been removed by the National
Base Ball association.

KENNEDY WINS FROM BOARES
Revenge at Squash Ball Taken by
0mshan From Boakes 80.
GAME AT RACQUET CLUB FAST
Chicago Fans Came out with Pro-
fessor Boakes. who says Needs
More Tryouts Before Meeting
Kennedy Again.

Spike" Kennedy put II over Prof. Henry
Boakes Of the Chicago Athletic club in
squash Wednesday afternoon. 3 to I. The
melody was like this:
First game. 1O-l5.
Second game. 1871
Third game. 15-l2.
Fourth game. 10-i5.
Fifth game. 1879
In spite Of his SO years. ''the old sport, -
as he joshingly calls himself. put up a
stiff fight, and Il looked like his match
the greater part Of the time. However,
Boakes tried to run Spike" but Thomas
Frank wouldn't be run, much to the for
mer's sorrow.
1T was a hard match" said the de-
feated %Chicagosn afterwRrd. "Kennedy's
steady, persistent work. his strong return
and his speed proved too much for me"
The match was merely an exhibition,
and a return contest for the one Kennedy
played at Chicago with the professor a
couple of months ago, when the score OF
3 to ? was turned in favor Of Boskes. A
congenlal bunch Of club members and
their Chicago guests witnessed It on one OF
the courts of the snug Racquet club.
Starting strong and with things appsr-
emily going just as he pleased, Boakes
easily won the first game Of the match,
1910. But Spike came back in the next
and trimmed him with an ease tina at
first looked as IL Boakes was just play
ing possum, the score being 1871.

Boakes saves Three straiRhts.

Prof. Boskes finally pulled out of the
impending defeat and won the fourth, 1910,
thereby preventing his losing the match
by dropping three straight games. But the
last game was the masterpiece.
Love ALL" was the standing until after
five or ten minutes Of play, during which
Boakes graclously gave over his claim
to a point in order TO prevent a wrangie
and kept on playing his jovial, easy game,
so different to Spikes sometimes almost
hot-headed style of squash.
THE old mans all right" shouted the
crowd. and Boakes showed his apprecia-
ton by coping a few points and keeping
ahead Of Kennedy until the marker had
moved nine OF the little black squares oppo-
site Boake's name, while Spikes score
stood at 3.
Then came Spikes brace. OF ali the
braces. an Irish spike would naturally
lead the show, but with a hollering bunch
Of sports to back him, such a brace as he
put up Is not seen often.
First tying the score after getting the
serve, then passing on TIL the board read
1910 in his favor, the brace took him
with such sureness and speed that IL came
near being a margin OF 8. by which he won.
But Boakes managed 10 get the serve and
added another 2 to his score before Spike
put the "fixins to the dope" and landed
the Is. Then maybe the fans didn't whoop
ii up. Spike Kennedy had did the deed"
and his defeat In the Windy City by the
professor isn't felt so much now.
Mullin. of the New York Athletic club,
refereed the match and sam Burns. jr.,
was marker. The Chicago expert said
before he left for home last night. that
he's not used to mixing with squash ball
men in big matches, so will need a few
moro try-outs before he can put 1t over
Spike.

such noted athletes and before such a

worked he allowed but three hits and
no runs, and did not pass nor hit a man.

Prof. waking up with a vim.
Coming back strong in the next set-to.
Boakes kept ahead till he passed the fifth
point, with Spike stuck at the one. but
the latter took a boost and after tying
him kept on going to 10 without giving
Boakes a look-in. The play was as close
and clever as had ever been dished out
at the clubs courts, back-and- forth chas-
ing, with Kennedy doing most of the run
ming, characterizing the game. as Boakes
was trying to make his opponent play It at
all times, but with only mediocre success.
During the game, a Chicagoan shouted,
"A $1,O0O on Boakes," but the locals scorn-
ing such paltry stakes, waited for some
thing big. But it didn't come, for with the
continuance of the smashing. pounding,
hammerinR game that was being played, It
began to look as II Boakes didn't have
such a snap after all. The 1900 offer was
not repeated. and there soon appeared
other signs OF backsliding on the part OF
the visitors.
Boakes kept IN his wonderful style OF
play, but he visibly weakened in the run
ming game and once in a while seemed to
give away a point or at least a swerve
when hard pressed. Possibilities Of a vic
tory for SPIKE cheered the gallery to re-
newed interest, II such a thing were pos
sible with a lightning match already in
progress.
