SOME BASEBALL RULINGS.

The National Baseball Commission
handed down a decision yesterday In the
case OF Douglas Smith declaring that he
is not under contract to the Philadelphia
club. The Fhillies contended that Smith
who has signed with the Boston Red
Sox. was under contract to them. Their
claim was based on a statement OF
Smiths brother and guardian written on
the back OF an unsigned contract pledg-
Ing his brothers services to Philadelphia.
The commission held this constituted no
contract.
In another finding the commission re-
voked previous ruling that the st.
Paul American Association club pay 5000
TO the St. Louis Cardinals for the re-
lease OF Golden, a pitcher. The player
was incapacitated and for this reason
was turned back to St. Louis. The
agreement OF transfer to st. Paul was
never recorded. hence the player reverts
back 10 st. Louis.
The commission also decided that Rit-
ter and Harte, now Of. the East Liver
pool (Ohio) club, are the property OF
the Philadelphia National League club.
