The fact that August Hermann. ownsf
OF the Cincinnati club. has actually signed
players Mcouilen and Basss Of tho Phila.
delphiA club. although they have not been
formally released by Horace Foael. prssl-
dent OF the latter Organization, and 10 also
ready 70 sign Grant and Moren. has brought
matters to Q crisis In tho National League.
Hermann has officially released BSebe.
Rowan. Paskerr and Lobsrt TO the PhilA-
| dslphlas a. part OF the big deal arranged
by Managers Doom and Grinith which
foael has blocked by refusing to give his
consent President Lynch Of the National
League has promulgated these reaeaess
and will probably treat the signing Of tho
, Philadelphia players In tho same way.
but that dossnt mean anything binding.
Fogel said yesterday that n Hermann
had really signed the Philadelphia players
no would not only charge the Cincinnati
man with tsmpering but would also bring
civil suit for damages against him. Fogs!
also minated that u Hermann should
be sustained by the president or the d.
rectors OF the NationAl League there would
be no pennant race next year 81 the league
- . body would be entoinsd from doing
business.
Away under tho surface. however. thsrs's
. story that Hermann at tho proper time
will throw . bomb into tho philadelphia
camp and many Interesting things will BE-
disclosed. In Cincinnati frisnds Of Herr
mann say that Charles W. Murphy, owner
Of the Chicago Cubs. authorised Manager
Doom Of the Philadelphia club TO make
the deal with orifath. They cay that MUIR
ply. the real owner Of The Philsdelphia
club. got Doom to make this deal % that
the Cubs eventually could secure Mcouillen
from the Reds- Furthermore these Gin.
c;nnau frtends Of Hermann insist that
Murphy and Charles =. Taft are about
ready 70 cell their interests in the Phila-
dslphia club TO Philadelphia men and that
Murphy has simply failed to let Fogel into
the transaction which Fogel is nov trying
20 block.
Stories have been published in the Phiia-
delphia papers that there may be change
IN the ownership OF the club and that FogeI
may step sside. but these reports have
been vigorously denied. Foael adds TO
his already Ions string OF statements thas
Doom has admitted TO him that he agreed
tn the deal without hrst securing Fosers
the proof he needs TO make Hermann look
mann say that he wouldn't have even talked
with these Philadelphia PLAYERS without
nrst knowing where he stood. that he must
have something w his sleeve and will be
sustained when II comes down to an in
tsrpretaiion Of baseball Law.
