At the meeting last night of the COM
mittee appointed by the amateur base
ball commissio to look into the eligi-
bility OF players of the various clubs
entered in the post-season contests for
the city championship. three men were
barred from participation in the series.
Jack Dodge and Lefty" Downey OF
Agriculture and Lefty" Dries of Inn
manuel were declared ineligible.
The absence of Dries from the line
up of the Emmanuel team may affect
it's chances considerably. as he was
considered the mainstay on the slab.
Dries has pitched a lot of good ball
this season. and he was expected to
do well against the other champion
clubs. Downey and Dodge may both
be missed by Agriculture more than
is looked for. Downey not only can
play the outfield and hit well, but he
can pitch winning ball. Dodge is a
capab BILE performer. being able to fill in
anywhere on the infield.
The post-season series opens today
with three games. Agriculture meets
plays Rosedales and Marines go against
Machinists in section A. All the con-
tests are to begin at SIS O'Clock.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

BOSTON August 14.-An error by
Umpire Tommy Connolly undoubtedly
made it possible for the winning run
to be scored on the passed ball in the
ninth frame. Barry had two strikes
on him as the result of late swings on
NO of Johnson's fast ones. On the
Next ball pitched, Barry showed 1T to-
ward first, but it went foul. The Ma
tionals to a man contended that Barry
was out on the third strike bunt rule,
but Connolly would not allow this,
claiming that Barry had hit at the ball.
which, however. was not the case Inc
chances are that he was trying to
work the squeeze play, for there did not
seem to be chance to hit Johnson and
he deliberately pushed the ball down
past first base. Had Connolly given this
decision in favor of the Nationals there
would have been two out and Cady
up and the passed ball could not have
occurred on Barry. The fans in the
stand who are more than fair here,
insisted that Connolly was erring, but
this, of course, did not have the effect
of. making him change his ruling.

journey right over Milan's head. Milan
went back as far as he could. then
turned and jumped some feet In the
air. pulling the ball down with his
gloved hand. In the second inning
Barry hit hard line drive to left cen
ter. There was no chance for Acosta
to get near it. but Milan, after TWEEN
ty-five or thirty-yard sprint. cut across
and nailed it just when it seemed des-
tined to yield the batter a triple. His
liner from Hoopers bat in right cen
ter. for which he also had to go quite
a distance at top speed.
1t is not very often that an outfielder
figures in a couple of double plays in a
single game, and yet that is what hap
pened to Danny Moeller yesterday. In
the fifth inning. with one out and
Hooper on first base, Scott and Hooper
played the hit and run, a short fly to
right resulting, which Moeller got to
first base in time to double UP Hooper
In the sixth Speaker started things
with a single. He was sacrificed to
second. went to third on Lewis hit, and
tried to score on Gardeners fly to
Moeller, but was thrown out by many
feet.
Speakers act in spiking John Henry
in the arm was uncalled for. On an
attempted double steal in the fourth
Brides throw beat him home so easily
that ordinarily he would not have slid.
He came in as though there was a
chance, and his spikes tore a deep
scratch in Henry's arm; Henry dropped
the ball and Speaker scored. Henry
gave Speaker a piece of his mind, and
the latter started for the catcher, but
very wisely one of his teammates took
him by the arm and led him away.
Speaker does not figure to have even a
lookn with Henry should he ever
arouse the latter's ire, which is not
easily done.
Though Walter johnson broke into
yesterdays game for just minute, he
is carded to do the pitching for the
Nationals today. There was talk of
having Joe Wood oppose him. but the
chances are that it will be Ruth, who
has been doing very we'll of late.
Yesterday was the ninth consecutive
time that the Nationals have been
beaten on the local grounds this season.
AS yet not a single game has been won
here by them. Griffith and the players
are getting anxious to break the hoo
doc which they claim hangs over them
here. The first four games played on
the local lot in the present campaign
were shut -outs, with the Nationals on
the scoreless end. And there was a
time when the team was always near
the last hole that it could come here
and fatten it's percentage at the ex-
pense of the Red SoX.

DECISION IS DUE TUESDAY
Cincinnati Magnate Says Persons
Without Authority Offered
Stock to Federals.

CINCINNATI, August 14-Whether the
Cincinnati base ball club will change
hands or remain in the hands of its
present stockholders probably will be
decided by Tuesday.
When Warren NJ Carter of Pasadena,
Cal, was in this city not long ago. said
August Hermann. president Of the
Cincinnati club, "he asked me If l
thought he could purchase some stock
in the Cincinnati club. ] told him
would consider the matter and confer
with some of the stockholders and let
him know later. At a subsequent meet
ing ! told him it could be arranged and
he then asked me if 1 thought he could
obtain the controlling interest in the
club and / told him that he could IL he
was willing to pay the price asked. He
said he would like to consider it two
weeks or a month, and it will be a
month Tuesday since the conversation
took place.
There was a figure named during
our conversation, but at that time /
did not consider it in the form of an
option, although I believe that the
figures are correct and that Carter or
any one else, who after investigation
we find to be all right. could purchase
the controlling interest in the club for
the amount.
A Business Proposition.
ut is purely a business proposition
and does not mean that we desire to
sell the Cincinnati club. If Carter pur-
chases the club for the amount named
it will mean a handsome revenue for
those who desire to sell as well as a
good thing for those who remain in the
club.
after this conversation Carter left
town and I have not heard from him
nor seen him since. therefore 1 was
greatly surprised when 1 was Informed
| that he had made a statement that he
had an option on the controlling inter-
est of the club.
Furthermore, il the club is sold to
Carter the condition was made that 1
would remain at the head Of the club
and that the club would remain in the
National League"
Hermann further said he had knowl-
edge that persons who had no authority
had offered the controlling interest in
the club for sale to the Federal League.
He said there was absolutely no
chance for the club being in any league
other than the National and insisted
that the club was not necessarily for
| SALE but, if sold, the price would be
! handsome one.
