try refused to support the cause and
he believed that such persons should
be known, especially if they were able
to contribute. He said there were two,
Carl Isenberg and Fred Arndt, he un-
derstood, who refused to aid, and since
they are city officials the voters should
see to it they are not favored with
offices again. He went further and
declared they should be asked to re-
sign from the positions they now hold,
if they refuse to support such cam
paigns as this and others that are to
come if the war continues. Other
names were also mentioned, none Of
whom were office holders.
It was decided to form permanent

DREYFUSS CANCELS
MAMAUX CONTRACT
Pitchers Case, in Hands Of
National Commission, May
Reach Courts.

PITTSBURGH. Pa. August 81 - Ac-
cording to President Barney Dreyfuss of
the Pittsburgh base ball club it will be
long time before Al Mamaux will be al
lowed TO pitch a game of ball in the Ma
tional League. on account of his action
in playing with the Graybers. a semi
professional team, Sunday when he de-
feated team from Washington, Pa by
a score of I to /. allowing them four hits
and striking out seven men. said Drey-
fuss:
The action of Mamaux in pitching for
any outside club violates his contract. and
have sent word to the national CON-
mission that he is on the ineligible list
and also have notified Mamaux. That
means that he cannot play again until he
is reinstated by the national commission
and then only at the instance of the
Pittsburgh clubs and | don't care if he
never plays again.
His. contract of s., 900 a year now is
eliminated. and he cannot play anywhere
until we say so, and then only at a new
contract. which you can rest assured will
not be $1,000
MamauX was seen and said in answer to
the virtual blacklsting he had received
from the Pittsburgh club that he would
carry his side of the case to the national
commission and demand that he be given
a chance to earn living. Failing in that
he will carry the case to the courts under
the conspiracy laws.

BUSTERS FOR FAIR.

Clarksburg. w. Va. is a thriving
and usually up-to-date city of fully
10000 population. and the Norwood
base ball club is the representative
club of the village. Under these cir
cumstances it hardly seems possible
that the play described below could
have taken place, but we have the fol-
lowing clipping from the Clarksburg
Telegram. the afternoon paper there. as
proof The clipping reads: Robert
Crop. local outfelder. rounding third
in the eighth inning. saw that the ball
coming from first base would beat him
to the plate. He looked up. saw the
umpires were not looking in his direc-
ton and then pulled probably the most
amazing and nerviest play in the his
tory of semi professional base ball He
deliberately walked out of the base line
and hid behind group of spectators
who were standing more than fifteen
feet back of third base. Upon receiv-
ing the ball, the visiting catcher looked
around for Crop. but saw no one. He
was convinced that a man had been
coming home from third, but guessed
maybe it was heat that was affecting
him
He then hurled the pill to second to
catch Stull. who was off the bag, but
the throw went wild Cropp then
emerged from his hiding place and
scored. The visitors raised a howl on
the umpire's decision. but as the latter
had not se9n Crop out of the base line
he refused to make the reversal"
