of those days was the terror OF visit

fence, peculiarly constructed for ad-

game for Boston.
"Keeler, one OF the heetest men in
the business. seeing the ball was go
ing over his head, leaped upon the
slop OF the fence and started TO run
along It. going higher and higher, and
just as the ball was going over the
fence, he caught II. His momentum
carried him higher along the incline,
and before the big crowd realized that
he caught the ball. he was running
along the top OF the fence. and then
holding the ball aloft, he plunged over
and went outside the grounds. Prob
ably never a baseball player In the
world received such rousing ovation
as he did when he climbed back over
the fence and tossed the ball to the

NATIONAL LEAGUE
FACES BIC ROW
Annual Meeting Will Produce An

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Another ugly

tional league when it takes up the
election OF a president Is believed by
local baseball students TO he fore
Swallowed in the fight between Phila-
delphia and Cincinnati over the pro,
posed exchange OF players between
these clubs.
President Lynch, who will undoubt-
eddy be up for reelection, has tried
his best TO keep out Of the row in
which Garry Hermann and Horace
Foge are involved. but that he will
bee forced TO take sides sooner or
later is admitted by all
II Lynch supports Hermann, OF
which there are increasing indications,
IL will probably mean that he will be
opposed for reelection by Fogel and
Charles w. Murphy, president OF the
Chicago Cubs, and whatever other
presidents they are able 10 control IN
the annual meeting IL was Murphy
and Fogel who caused the deadlock
last winter. which was finally ended
by the selection OF Lynch.
That Hermann will yet be able to
complete the deal whereby Cincinnati
traded Lobert, Paskert, Beebe ana
Rowan for Grant, Bates, McQuillen
and Moren looks like the one best bet
today. Hermann. close student OF
baseball law and the chairman OF the
National Commission would hardly
have gone TO the limit OF signing two
OF the Philadelphia players obtained
In the exchange. IL is pointed out. II he
were not absolutely sure of his ground
When the whole story is told, 1t is

fully authorized the deal and then no

shoes. The consensus OF opinion OF
baseball fans is that Chicago wanted
