One of the had features of organ izsd baseball is shown in the case od Charlie Hfeara, a young soutfeider re gently sold by Perth Amboy, N. J.. to the New York A1nerfcans- If he made good Perth Axnboy was to pay him a bonus of $10o. New York signed him at $17Q a month but after he had been taken as far as Chicago he was sent back to New York He was taken i'll on the way and renaainen with relatives in Ohio. When he re- ported again to the New York club he was told to return to Perth A1nboy. He was not paid a cent by New York and Perth Amboy also refuses to pay him for that month. It looks as if the NationaI commission will have to adjust the matter.
