New York. Jan 4-The national base
bah commission. composed of B. B. John
son, president OF the American Leagues
7. J. Lynch, president OF the National
League. and Garry Hermann. Of Gin
elnnau, will meet In Cincinnati to-mor-
row. In addition TO the case Of King, OF
the Chicago Cubs. several important mat
ters may be considered. including the
much talked OF umpire bribery scandal.
When the magnates were here last month
President Johnson declared that he had
new evidence" IN connection with the
alleged attempt to bride Umpire KLEIN at
the Polo Grounds In October. 1908, and
that he intended 10 sslS the commission
to reopen the case. Johnson, however,
took no further action at that time. al
though he left here promising to bring
matters to head at to-morrow's session
OF the baseball supreme court.
As the fans all over the United states
are interested in this scandal and are
anxious to have the facts laid bare, John
son is under pressure TO set forth what
ever new evidence he may have In his
possession.
II johnson cannot deliver the goods,
however. he will stand convicted of using
the bribery case as a political club with
which 10 bring about the recent defeat
of John NJ Ward for the presidency Of
the National League.
It's Up 40 Big Ban.
At to-morrow's meeting of the commits
sion therefor johnson is expected to step
to the front with some interesting afida- |
Wits which the other commissioners. can
not afford to ignore. At least that is |
what baseball men who are identified |
with the control of the game are saying. |
and they appear to know what is what.
As far as King is concerned, there |
may be pretty wrangle over his serv-
ices should the commission decide 10 re-
instate him. which is extremely doubtful. |
BY the way. Fogel, Of the PhiIadeIphIas,
insists that he has an agreement with
Murphy, the Cubs owner, by which
Kings release can be purchased by the
QualJers for $1,000. John J. McGraw, OF
the Giants. meanwhile declares that Muir
ply agreed some time ago to let him
have first call on the great Chicago
catcher, and that the New York club
stand ready 10 close the deal at Murphy's
terms. King declares that he will never
play with the Cubs again, and that he
prefers New York TO Philadelphia.
The commission viii probably make an
official report as to the recent worlds
series. and may also pass upon the status
Of several ineligible players, including
Joe Nealon. Monte Pfy4. and Elmer
Stricklett
Tomorrow night Messrs. Johnson and
Hermann will give a banquet in honor
Of President Lynch. and they have sent
invitations to more than 800 persons
prominent in baseball affairs.

and cheered themselves hoarse. To say
that they were disappointed Is putting it
mildly.
The first half was perhaps the most ex-

while forced TO cali numerous fouls on the

score. Gable was in the game every min

team in the opening period.

The writer recently advocated 4
series Of basketball games between
Georgetown and George Washington this
winter, and in talking with Cant Jim
Collifiower. Schlosser. and Coach Maurice
Joyce last night. found that these men
were heartily in favor Of the idea. and
tho matter will at once be brought TO
the attention of Father Emmett who
has charge OF athletics at the HflItoppers'
institution
1t Is earnestly hoped that Father En-
NETT will grant permission for a series Of
games. as public sentiment and the IN
dergraduates of both colleges would vel
come with omen arms the resumption OF
athletic relations
The suggestion is made that series Of
three games be arranged at the close OF
the present basketball season in a good
sized hall, able to seat a big crowd. and
ii goes without saying that a good-sized
crowd would turn out The games would
add to the Golfers OF both athletic asso-
Citations. which is another argument in
favor of the series.
