" Apply HOGAN returned yesterday
from Frisco, where he put in
IL Thursday trying to convince
Judge Graham, Coast league president,
that the National Baseball commission
was the supreme power in organized
baseball, and he says that he failed to
make good as the judge refused to be-
lieve it, However Graham conde-
scended to tell Happy that he would
send to Chicago for the evidence in the
Carson case and would announce ms
decision in the next day or two. AS
the National commission has passed on
the case already approved the release
of Carson by Chicago to Vernon and
ordered the pitcher to report to Hogan,
it seems to be rather presumptuous or
the bush league dignitary to take such
an unreasonable stand, but just TO
humor him and have peace in the
family. Hap has decided to let the
squire have his way. Vernon Will get
Carson in the long run, but he is
needed now more than at any time,
and Graham is doing mighty t1ne
piece of business for the Frisco team
bv keeping Carson out of the game
until after the Frisco series here. 1t Is
an outrage, but one to which Hogan
must submit until the case gets into
proper hands. The Coast league is
operating under the national agreement
and is subject to the rules and rulings
of the National Baseball commission,
the supreme court in baseball. Graham
has overrated himself in assuming
jurisdiction over case that now is IN
res adjudicata, but babies must be
humored. and Vernon must suffer by
/ . Of
! Graham emphasizes his incompetency
by this untenable, unreasonable and
unjustified stand.
| Umpire George Hildebrand, who has
! been handling the indicator here for
the last ten days. has made a decided
hit with the fans by his uniformly
good work The promptness with which
! he gives his decisions, his courage III
! sticking to them and refusing to per
! nit any roWdy arguments regarding
them in his all-round fairness has
made him immune to the fans who
usually have a grievance against an
unpfre before they see him in action.
Hide looks like about the best umpire
in the league, despite that this is his
first season on the job, and if he is con
tinues to display his excellent quallh-
cations for the job as he has done since
he came south he will have all of the
Los Angeles fans pulling for him Tor
reappointment. All that Los Angeles
| fans want is a square deal and let the
best team win, and Hide has been per-
! forming his duties without fear or ask
! ing for favor and with McGreeVy, al
ways popular with the fans, is giving
the home team and the visiting op-
ponent all that is due and no more, no
| less Although he once played with
Frisco that team is getting no edge in
] Il 70
alike respect him for his uniform good
work.
Louie Bonsack, who is visiting
friends here for a few days while on
his way to Salt Lake City for the open
ing Of the bush season, dropped nice
wad Yesterday when Old Nick failed to
connect AL GOodin, owner of Old Nick,
wired Louie that the horse would win,
and Louie forgetting the gamblers
ace in the hole by playing place and
show on good things, slapped it all on
the nose. Old Nick was second, being
n bit short according to reports, but
would have made Louie a nice winner
had he spread his dorine three ways, or
even twice.
The smallest crowd that has attended
a. scrap at SAN Pedro was in the club
house at Point Firmin last night when
Kid Rees and Jimmy Davis fought IN
the main events scheduled at twenty
rounds. Rees knocked out Davis in
the fourth round, after leading all the
way. and furnished additional proof of
his good class by the clever and ag-
gressive fight he put up. Battling
Chico and Joe White fought four
rounds to a draw, and Jack Gallagher
got the decision over Alex. Hansen
over the same route. Rees has been
doing nicely in all his recent bouts and
probably viii be given an opportunity
TO go higher at future boxing shows at
| Maud Junction.
| In heavens name, what has Los An
! gcles ever done to San Francisco to
merit such treatment as is being ac-

/ some more And, more help, in the
| language Of Paul Browning.
