SOON TO REACH VERDICT

Special Board Considering Re

A verdict in the case of Capt Henry

summoned before a special trial board
Monday to answer charges that he had
tried to settle out of court the case
Of Edward Ellison. a junk dealer of
Alexandria. Va. accused of larceny of

of the trial board today.
Capt Schneider appeared Monday be.

counsel, and Inspectors r. B, Boyle
and H. l.. Gessford, to answer charges
that he had attempted ''officiously and
without legal excuse to interfere with

Suspension of Frank Baker and Buck
Herzog by the owners of the Yankees
and Giants respectively, has furnished
New York fans considerable food for
discussion. The action taken in both in
stances was for disregard of orders. Her
zog went to his home to recuperate his
shattered health instead of accompanying
his team west. and Baker paid a visit to
his farm instead of showing up for an
exhibition game at Bridgeport, Conn
Baker claims he made a verbal agree
ment with the owners of the Yankees at
the time he signed his contract to the
effect that he would not be required to
appear in exhibition games in the east
Owner Rupert, however. denies this and
says the understanding with Baker mere
~ was that he would not have to appear
in all of them. Baker has issued a state
ment to the effect that he considers his
suspension uniustified and unfair and that
if it is not lifted he will never play ball
again. not being dependent on his diamond
activities for livelihood. Bakers con-
tract. which calls for high figure. has
another year to run. There is little doubt
but that he will be at third base for the
1ankees when the 91S season opens and
further, it is likely the Misunderstanding
will be Strengthened out in very short
time and that he will finish out this sea-
son with his team.
There is no doubt that Herzog is a
SICK man. He claims it was known all
along that he intended to leave the
Giants to rest up as soon as the team
was assured of the pennant, and de-
clares it would have been a physical
imposslbllty for him to undertake the
western trip. larm is being expressed in
some quarters over the dire consequences
IN store for the Giants in case they enter
the world series against the White Sox
minus the services of the star second base
man and field captain. Those apprehensive
sous can rest assured that if Herzog

"At the time of the Russo-Turkish
