1T would not have been that way

thrown brickbats at them if they had
attempted such a game. In those days
scrappers had to fight first and do
their other work afterwards. The box
ing game is not being conducted the
way it should be, and it is only ques-
ton of time until the public refuses
to stand for the present methods.

BASEBALL COMMISSION FINDS
CONCERNING MANY PLAYERS

CINCINNATI, gan. THE National
baseball commission late today an
nounced it's findings regarding several
former major league players whose
reinstatement Or return to the clubs
with which they severed before join
ing the California league, was sought
by Secretary Moreing of that organi-
zation.
The gist of the decisions was given
out Wednesday after the annual meet
ing Of the commission. Today's' an
nouncement, however, reveals several
important details.
Joe" NealsOn, former first baseman
of the Pittsburg team, is restored to
good standing and awarded to the
Oakland, Cal, club. The commission
states that this finding is because of
the Pittsburg club waving its rights
in the matter.
Elmer Stricklett and Thomas Shee-
han, former members of the Brook
lyn team; Monte Phyle and Outfelder
Henderson are denied reinstatement
as members of the California league.
The finding in these cases puts upon
the players the mselves the burden OF
proving that they are entitled to rec
IGNITION by organized baseball.
The fifth case related to II. Smith,
an outfielder. AS previously announc-
ed. he was awarded to the Chicago
National league team under con-
tract signed before the California
league was relieved Of its "outlawry.

LOSES
TO LOCAL SCHOOL

By superior team work and basket
ball ability the Walla Walla high
school defeated the Pendleton basket
ball five last night 20 to II. The game
was played on the high school gym
nasium floor before several hundred
people. Those who are in touch with
the basket ball situation here were
surprised at the good showing made
by the visitors and it was the unani-
nous opinion that the Pendleton
high school is much stronger than
last year. With two exceptions the
team the local high had in the field
last night was the same that repre-
scented the school last year.
1t would be hard to pick any one
Walla Walla player that starred last
night. The entire team worked in
perfect unison. The first half opened
slowly, both teams taking their time
and interest seemed to be lacking.
AT the end of this half the score
stood to 7 in favor of Pendleton. 1t
took the first half to get the Walla

Aside from the youthful daring OF

did much toward the undoing of the

Sutton uses a piece of white chalk
to rub on his hands when they begin

this chalk on the rail of the table and
the floor. On the next shot Sutton
again left his chalk on the table, and
with the suave politeness of French

chalk over to Sutton, and with bow
went back to his playing.

Sutton knew that he shouldn't leave
