FINDINGS IN Killing
CASE ARE APPROVED
John HeydIer, Former National
League President, Indorses
Ruling of Commission

NEW YORK, April l. John Heyd-
Ter. secretary-treasurer of the National
league, who served on the National
commission last year and Is thoroughly
familiar with the King case, came out
last night with a strong defense or the
recent action of the commission in
reinstating the catcher without Ban
Johnson's approval
'In my opinion" says Heydler tho
commission could not have ruled other
wise. The alternative would have been
to apply the provisions Of rule Al, which
practically would have carried with it
a four years suspension and the elimi-
nation of Killing from baseball. Rulo
40, l always have held, was n measure
directed specifically against organiza-
tlon players joining outlaw leagues.
Had the commission officially desig-
mated the Chicago professional
league as an outlaw league prior TO
Kings temporary affiliation with that
organization, then there would have
been no recourse but to impose the ex-
treme penalty on the player.
"The finding is just and equitable
and most fair to the player, making 1t
mandatory on the player to return 10
Chicago and fulfill the last year of his
three-year contract at the figure he
signed for, and is splendid from every
angle of baseball law. I doubt IL the
commission was divided on that partic-
ular point II is the best part of the
finding. tt means that a contract once
entered into. whether by the club on
one side and the player and the man
ager on the other, must be respected
and lived up to. This is the meat of
the decision. and simply reiterates the
principle upon which organized base
ball is founded"

RLALTO GOSSIP
By Jay Davidson

THEN BERRY received a telegram
III last night that contained joy
- full news for the Los Angeles
baseball cranks. President Charles w.
Murphy Of the Chicago Cubs wired
him that he could retain Catcher Jess
Orendorff if he could arrange it sat
isfactorily with the premier baclIstop
and would return the $1,000 draft money
paid for the recalcitrant player. Hen
already had told five solitaries and
beaten all of them and had predicted
that his streak of hard luck was at
an end and when the telegram arrived
he was sure Of it. He Immediately ac-
cepted the kind offer and so informed
Murphy, at the same time sending
Orendorff telegram to Bisbee where
the catcher is managing a semi pro-
fessional baseball club. Orendorff is
half crazy to play at home in organized
baseball and only accepted the alter
native of becoming outlaWed because
he did not feel justified in accepting
a boys salary for man job. He
wants TO play with the Angels and
told Berry that If the little fat fellow
could get him back on the Angel pay
roll it would tickle him to death. Ber-
ry wired him last night and the fans
may expect to see Orendorff back on
the job in few days. Orendorff is the
premier catcher in the Coast league
and he will add great strength TO the
team, so the fans hope he viii report
for duty at once.
Jeffries did some little work yester-
day. but he realized it was All Fools

Hen Berry is not crabber nor is
he possessed of a yellow streak, but
he was inclined yesterday to believe
that he had been mixed up in a run in
with some sort of jinks. After the
game yesterday, when his pennant
hopes had been defeated the second
successive time, he went home and re-
fused to cat until he tried his hand
at solitaire. lie played five games and
won every one of them. Then he arose
and announced that he was prepared
to believe that his luck had changed.
Subsequent events bore him out in this
theory and now Hen says it is a safe
bet that the Angels will take the series
with the Villagers. "They are not in
our class" he said "even if they have
won two straight games, and we will
show the fans that this is true by
winning the three remaining games"
Any old how, the VernOns look like a
fairly classy bunch, and if they do not
fall down i'm their playing they will
make the team that beats them out
hustle like Sam Hill. Hooray for Hap
piness Hogan!

drafted by the committee appointed for
this purpose, was adopted with the ex-
ception of a few minor changes as it
stood.
Before the session the representatives
of the various ball clubs met at
Claudy's billiard hall and when all were
arrived they went at once to the Ea gle S

act as chairman and w. f. Barnard of

it advisable, so that each city should
have equal representation, regardless
of the number of persons present from
the various towns interested.

not fair thing for him to come out in
a public interview on the question of
gambling in this city without coming
to the city authorities to find out
whether the conditions he alleges really
exist here
The truth of the matter is that
gambling does not exist in anything
like the degree that Greenwald would
make it appear. 1t is not the right
thing for a public official to besmirch
the name of a city without being sure
of his ground. 1 don't want any ar
gument with the pros ecuting attorney s
office, but according to my ethics, it
would be no more than right for him
to come first to the city administra-

guards as to warrant public confidence
in its methods.
Here are few of the items provided
for in the bylaws: Limiting of pay
roll to $50 game for each club.
Each club must put up 500 binding
it to adhere to the rules of the or
ganization, the sum to apply as a for
felt in case of withdrawal from the
association. The directors and officers
are empowered to fine a club from s25
TO $50 for certain violations of the
rules, such fine to be paid out of the
forfeit money, in case the organization
so fined refuses to make good. The
forfeit is to be deposited in savings
bank and can only be drawn upon
check signed by the president and sec
re tary-treasurer.

to be deducted from each game to go to
the league towards its support The
visiting team is to receive a minimum
! of $50 for each game, and more. on the
basis of so per cent of the remainder
after the hrst five per cent is deducted,
where the gross receipts warrant it.
4 The season is to last the first Sun
day in May. until the second Sunday in
October in each year
A pennant bearing the name of the
league champion and the date in which
such championship was won, is to be
provided at not less than a cost of $25.
A general admission fee of twenty
five cents is to be charged for adults.
while children under fourteen are to be
admitted for fifteen cents, and young
children will be passed free, provided
they come accompanied by their elders.
There will be another meeting of the
| organization at the Commercial Club OF
Indiana Harbor and East Chicago on
the evening of Dec. s. At this session
a president and other officers and di-
rectors will be elected.
