PLAYERS FRAT. TO
FIGHT COMMISSION
Relations are Strained Between the
Two Organizations Over the
Case Of Player Kraft.

United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, July 15.--Relations be-
tween the national commission, or
ganized baseball's supreme court,
and the players fraternity were badly
strained today as the result of Sc
cret meeting of the fraternity held
Sunday at which it is rumored the
board OF directors voted to go to court
again with the moguls Of the game.
The case in point is that Of player
Kraft, who was drafted by Brooklyn
from Southern Association team
just previous to the acknowledgements
sion working agreement that made
compulsory a waiver route through
various classifications for all players
released by major or minor leagues.
The national commission ordered
Kraft to Nashville.
Newark, a class AA club wanted
Kraft and refused to waive Then
came a reported reversal by the ma
tional commission of its ruling, order
ing Kraft to Nashville. Later the
commission communicated to Fultz
that its first order was irrevocable.
1t is on this point that the Kraft case,
it is said, will go into the courts.

Tenth and Hiram Sends Three
Of Them to the
Bench.

The rampant Red Legs were romp.
ed on in riotous revel here yester-
day by score OF to 5, the game so
ing ten innings. 1t was an exhibition
extraordinary And it was no place
for ball player with temperament,
as several found out before seeking
the solace of their shower bath.
Among other EATERS of note In con-
nection with the fray, 1t might be
mentioned that Glenalvin, the official
Indicator, missed his train connections
and local fan, Hiram Stebbins, did
judicial duty for the day.
Stebbins got by with the job in
fine shape until the last half of the
tenth. Then things started to break
loose. Before the first Indian batter
had been pitched ball in this round
McGlade was bsnchsd for talking too
freely. Lowther followed over the
same route, and minute later Single
ton was also sent to the bench. To
make full team, Manusch was re-
quired to send in three pitchers to
FIJI the vacancies. Schwenk went to
center field for Lowther. Burg was

sent to third.
Only one of these three pitchers
found II necessary to take part in any
play that followed, but that one was
enough to give the tribe the game

but one down in the same last half
Of the tenth, Marshall hit Texas

playing left field, caught the ball

that there hardly could have been any
doubt about a regular outfie1der cut.

run that won the game.
Although the fray was decorated at
places here and there with snappy
bits of fielding, the defensive work on
the whole was rather loose. And this
other players. VAIL, VINO first went
to the mound for the tribe, pitched
fine ball for two innings. He let
down enough in the third to allow a.
hit and a walk, which. together with
an error. brought in the first run for
the Red Sox. A double play. Sweet to
Giffin, helped him out in the fourth,
but in the fifth single and home
run by Manusch brought in two runs
Mccullough took Eds place on the
rubber after two were down in this
period. A walk. wild pitch, an err
TOR and two hits gave the visitors two
runs off Mack in the seventh. He
was touched for several hits during
the rest of the game but failed to al
low any runs.
Rowdy Miller went the full Length,
for the Manuschers. Miller's pitching
seemed to have an edge on that of
the local slab artists, but at that the
tribe got to him with much effect at
certain times during the game filler
struck out total of twelve men,
walking four.
