Cincinnati. Sept. 20.-The National
baseball commission yesterday hand
ed down three findings, the most i'm
portant Of which was the sustaining
of u decision by the national board in
the appeal Of the Norfolk club of the
Virginia state league. The commits
sion affirmed the decision of the ma
tional board in awarding Player Har-
ry Kunkel two weeks full salary. two
weeks half salary and a physicians
bill minus $74, which was paid the
player when he was released by Nor
folk. The players claim was that he
was. injured while in the service Of
the Norfolk club and the Norfolk
club was ordered to settle.
The commission refused a rehear-
ing to the Savannah club in the case
of Player Adams. Adams was sold
to the Philadelphia American league
club after the time limit set by the
national agreement for selling play
ers. This limit is fifteen days pre-
vious to the close Of the season. The
Adams sale in Il previous finding was
returned null and void.

agan of the st. Louis American league
club that the st. Louis club contract
ed to pay him $3.50 a month but had
only paid him 800 a month and ow-
ed him the balance was dismissed by
the commission OF the grounds that

club to a major league club. cannot
be paid for the first forty-five days

IAN RICHIE TO
MEET CHAS. WHITE

Chicago. Sept. 2o.-Nate Lewis.
manager of Charlie White, thumbed
the pages of a dictionary threadbare
today in search Of an argument to
convince Willie Richie. the light
weight champion, why he should box
White in Milwaukee. The lightweight
champion left San Francisco We'd
nesday for the east. according to re-
ports, and Is scheduled to reach Chi
cago today. There win be a hundred
and one promoters and managers Of
boxers at the station to greet him.
Among them will be Lewis.
Tom AndHews, a Milwaukee news
paper man and promoter Of one Of
the cream city's biggest boxing clubs,
VIII assist Lewis in his attempt to get
Ritchie's consent to box White. An
drews, according to Lewis. is pre-
pared to offer Richie a staggering
offer to step ten rounds with the Chi
cago lightweight.
II don't think he'll dare to refuse
the o6e We are prepared to make.
The only thing that I'll insist on is
that he make 1876 pounds for Charlie.
At that he'll have six OF seven pounds
the better OF White, who, when in
trim. doesn't weigh more than 1873 or
te9. He didn't bulge the scales
When he weighed in at $50 pounds
for Sheridan"
The Milwaukee club, according to
Lewis. is planning to stage a match
between White and the lightweight
champion about October Is. but the
promoters r willing to name ar
earlier rate. or later one if. Richie
desires.

OF BURMEISTER GOOD

Says 4 sport writer in the st. Paul
Dispatch:
In electing John Burmeister presi-
dent for three years the Northern
league has done a wise thing. Mr..
Burmefster proved his capacity last
season and made himself felt as a
power In minor league baseball. He
is q quiet man, not given much to
self-advertising. but he is a business
man and handles baseball affairs in =
business-like and efficient manner. His
record was exceptionally good, and
the league has done itself a good turn
in re-electing him.

Progress During Season of
Cantillon's Aggregation
is Interesting.

1t is thought that being forced out

Of the Milwaukee players and that
the pennant fight Tor the remainder
OF the season will be between Minne-
apolis and Columbus. says George
Barton in the Minneapolis News.
Like Minneapolis. the Milwaukee
team will finish the season on the
road n must play at Columbus, To-
ledos indianapolis and Louisville, in
the order named. As all four Of these
teams are going in whirlwind style
at the present time. the Brewers will
find the going rough in trying to re-
main in second place, let alone push
ing h Millers out Of top position.
Columbus Fortunate.
The Senators will play their re-
naming games at home and thereby
have the edge on the Minneapolis and
Milwaukee teams. which will be COM
PEELED to play before antagonistic au-
diences and get the short end Of home
umpiring. Columbus plays Milwau-
kee. st. Paul. Kansas City and Min
neapolis at home and in the order
named. The Saints and Kaws are go
ing badly and should prove rather
easy picking for Bill Hinchman's
men.
The Columbus team is 5 1-2 games
behind Minneapolis and 41-2 games
in the rear of Milwaukee. 1t wouldn't
be at all surprising to see the Millers
and Senators struggling for the cham
pfonship in their final series of the
season..
While the Columbus and Milwau-
kee teams are engaging in battle roy
al just now. the Millers will be tang

What Mlllers Have Done.
The Millers, having fought a great
uphill battle all season, the writer
herewith shows by, figures what the
Champs have accomplished since the
1918 regime got under way.
Beginning the season on April II,
Minneapolis was in third place on
April Is and dropped to fourth posi-
ton on April 81. On April %, the
Champs worked their way back into
third place and on the following day
dropped back to fifth.

The year 1918 has been. a poor sea-
son for recruits in the two big leagues.
OF the $50 hopeful ball players who
were either bought or drafted from
the minor leagues last season by the
two major league clubs. only eighteen
have played with any sort Of regular
ity throughout the season. That means
that only eighteen men have actually
made good.
Consider the expense involved: the
scouts salaries. the money spent in
railroad fares and expenses incurred
by sending men around the country
looking for material, to say nothing
of the thousands of dollars paid into
the Golfers of the minor league clubs.
When the total expense is divided by

to represent a small fortune.
