Ter, president of the National League,
announced tonight that he will hear
the case against Harold Chase, first
basemar of the Cincinnati team, on
January 80, instead of tomorrow, upon
the request OF Chase's attorney.
Chase was suspended indefinitely
byManager Mathewson of Cincinnati
last August while the Reds were
playing in New York. Mathewson
made grave charges against Chase at
the time. adding that he did not see
how it would be possible for Chase
again to play big league ball under
the circumstances.
John McGraw. manager Of the New
York Nationals. and William Perritt,
a Giant pitcher have been requested
to attend the hearing as witnesses for
the Cincinnati club; Manager Math-
ewson, who filed the original charges,
is still in France, where he is serving
as captain in the chemical warfare
service.
Since the closing Of the 1913 base
ball season, Chase started a civil suit
against the Cincinnati club for the
amount of salary he lost by reason of
his suspension.
