TT is not unlikely, Judging from gen
eral opinion. that the board of
directors OF the Eastern League
will reverse the decision of President
p. T. Powers when it meets tomorrow
in the chief executives office in the
Flatiron building to act on the decision
whereby Mr.. Powers threw out the
four games in which Tommy Mcmillan
played with Rochester against Toronto
and Montreal.
Manager Joseph Kelley and President
McCafferty, of the Leafs, are armed
with evidence which will show that
CAMEL was well aware of the fact that
Mcmillan was ineligible to play; as they
showed a telegram from Clark Griffith,
the manager of Cincinnati. who after
ward secured the Brooklyn shortstop by
waiver.
1t has been declared that Powers had
no authority to act on the four games,
as Toronto protested but two. The two
:. were the games which the Hustlers
won. From the information obfained
from several who are interested in the
case, the directors will, by a majority
vote, reopen the case and allow the
games which Toronto and Montreal
won to stand and order the others re-
played.
Sam Golden, manager of the Savages,
Dan and Jim, and Joe Stein, told the
writer Yesterday that If Percy WOOD
ruff would have Kid Wilson make AZ
pounds ringside he would cover Wood
ruff's $3.50 for q match with Joe Stein.
THE latter will weigh less than that
by several pounds said Golden.
o
Eddie Wood, the local manager, has
taken full charge of Christopher n.
Flynn, the Elmwood mitt artist, n IL
Is probable that he will be seen In
action at the Municipal Club July T.
Flynn weighs about 1853 in condition
and has good hands. He is working
out at the Elmwood Club, on Sanford
street, East Orange. He does his
roadwork With ] Harrington, the run
ner.
The writer gets it from undisputed
authority today that b. Harrison De-
Mott. the sensational Lafayette College
twirler. has signed with the Cleveland
Americans. DeMott will &c to Worces-
ter fer the summer and Will report
to the Maps September l. He plans to
give up college for good to play ball
once he joins the team. He chose
Cleveland because that club offered
him the highest salary.
