STOvALL'S FATE MAY
Be SETTLED TODAY
Directors of the Browns Will
Confer With Ban Johnson
in St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, May 9.-Word Rs
passed out here yesterday that there will
be a meeting of the directors of the
Browns ball club today President Ban
Johnson will attend, and the case of
Manager George Stovall will be decided.
AS yet President Hedges of the Browns
has failed to come to the front with any
indication of the attitude he will assume,
although the press and fans here are
clamoring loudly that Stovall be rein
stated with minimum fine. They de-
mand this in view of the fact that he
served the American League ten years
and in all that time was suspended only
twice.
Charles Comiskey. right-hand man of
Johnson. has told ST. Louis friends that
he has recommended the slightest pos
sible penalty for the Browns manager.
The meeting of the board of directors
is thought to indicate that Owner Hedges
is trying to shift the responsibility. The
fans here are very much concerned over
the Stovall situation and If he Is not
backed up by the club owner there will
be reversal of public sentiment against
the American League club.
Stovall arrived from Chicago last
evening, and when pressed for state
ment about his conference with Johnson
would only say:
This is a matter between Johnson
and Hedges. 1t is up to them to give
out any information"

had Union Station guessing all the way.
He struck out total of eleven men in

McCabe allowed only two hits in yes

Yesterday the Hydros played an inter-
esting seven-inning tie with the Civil
Service team. The teams of this league
are very evenly matched, as the last two
games, which have been played. have re-
Quilted in ties.
Walker, catcher for Civil Service, and

teams at the bat. The former was hit
by the pitcher twice and made two hits
out OF four times up. and the latter con-
nected for three out OF four.
Crogan. pitching for Hydros, would
have won his game with ease had he
not blown up in the fifth stanza, when his
opponents pushed four runs across the
plate. Before and after this inning he
pitched alright ball.
Hanna, outfielder of Hydros, is credited
with the heavy hitting of the game. Out
of four times up he connected safely
twice, these same two times being three
base hits.
F'ulcher. second baseman for Civil
Service, gave a good fielding exhibition
accepting five chances without the SEM
