Ruling on Fort
Wayne Club Again
Upheld by Conn1ish

CINCINNATI. Aug. 1.-THE Ma
tional baseball commission Tuesday
reverses itself after reviewing the
case Of the Fort Wayne. Ind. club
of the Central league. against the
National association.
In a former finding, the commits
sion reversed a ruling of the Nation
al board which held that on the ter
mination of the Fort Wayne clubs
membership in the Central league in
the latter part Of last January. be-
cause of it's failure to post the 1916
guarantee and the subsequent waiver
rights TO their services, the players
Of that club became free agents and
therefore were not subject TO sale.
Tuesdays decision says that at that
time the commission was under the
impression that the Central league
had failed 20 afford proper protec-
ton 70 the interests of the owners Of
the Fort Wayne club in declaring
its franchise forfeited, while the
president of the club. Mr. Klitzke,
was incapaciated through illness.
II is now shown conclusively the
finding adds that instead OF taking
advantage OF this condition, Mr.
Klitzke and his associates were given
ample time TO protect their invest
ments and that the responsibility for
the loss OF their franchise wholly
devofved upon them.
The commission therefore, reverses
it's former finding, sustains the de
cision of the national board and dis
misses the complaint of the executor
Of the Klitzke estate.

Even those who are profting by
the Yankee misfortunes, feel a throb
of sorrow for wild Bill Donovan.
Never since the days of the Lajoie-

handicaps.

looked like wonderful pennant pros

PLAYED like world series warriors.
Even with part of their line shot TO
pieces by injuries or illness. they
kept whisthng along with great
speed II was only when the few
remaining stars were extracted from
the frolic by the ever watchful Jinx
that the Yanks actually relinquished
the lead.
But i'm New York the folks feel
that the Yankees will come back;
that as soon as the busted frames Of

the second drive of the Yankees will
get under way: a drive that Gotham
ties confidently hope will lead them
