Hermann Gives
peace Pact Reasons
In Baseball Suit

WASHINGTON, April T.. Reasons
for the peace pact" between Organ

were given to-day by Chairman Herr
mann Of the National Commission, un-
der cross examination in opening the
third week of the trial of the Balti-
more Federal Clubs 100000 damage
suit against the National and Amer
ican clubs and officials.
That Federal League competition was
feared was denied by Mr. Hermann.
When the peace pact was signed, he
SAID, he was satisfied the "outlaw" or
ganlzatlon was on it's last legs. OBJ
Jects of those negotiating for disso-
luton Of the Federal League, he as
serted, were restoration of public con-
fidence in baseball and prevention Of
contract jumping. Organized baseball's
offer of $729,000 to the Federal clubs.
the witness stated, was regarded as a
small price to that end.
1T was not competition I feared"
said Mr.. Hermann, "but a repetition
of conditions that had surrounded the
game"
The ineligible players" list, Mr..
Hermann said, is not blacklist" In
every instance. he said, the National
Commission has taken players from
the ineligible list upon request.
IN connection with the Baltimore
clubs charges that monopoly was the
aim of the defendants, its attorneys
secured statements from Mr.. Herr
mann that the former Brooklyn Fed
eral Park now is leased to the gov
ernment and that the Pittsburgh Fed
erals were paid $4,000 for their fran.
chlse, without other property rights.
Counsel drew Mr.. Herrmann's atten-
tlon to- his previous statement that the
National Commission was not con-
Quoted for gain, and Mr.. Hermann
stated that each club is run for profit.

Mr. Hermann stated is $500. He

Young one of the star outfields Of the
year
The old doc with the whiskers and
the scythe, meaning Time, has toyed
very little with the Giant infie1d. de-
spite their thirty-three year average.
they are no longer kids, but no un
preJudlced outsider would ever figure
any one of the four at the end of the
trail, for they still have their share of
speed.
Early in the game Babe Ruth soaked
one mile toward centre, which Benny
hauf flnally ran down, after a long
pursuit. When the Babe discovered
there were no fences around the battle
field he lost all interest in subsequent
proceedings, and struck out twice Why
waste valuable ammunition when
there's no fence or barricade to carry ?
Joe Bush carried as much smoke PC
ne ever used. The 'ex-Mackman has
blazing speed, and he is seasoned
enough to know where it belongs.
Shortstops may come and go, but for a
combination of steadiness and brilliant
effort We'll take Everett Scott. This
Red Sox star rarely falters at any time
I rising to his greatest height in the
critical moments of play He is as
certain and sure as old dead eye him
self. His work to-day was worth the
turnstile's tax.
Early in the battle Larry Doyle
ssnagged line drive that tied him up
IN four separate and distinct knots.
But the veteran managed to untangle
MS system IN time to complete the star
double play of the steamy afternoon.
The Giants fell heir to a memory of
forgotten days when Amos Strunk.
another ex-Mackman, broke up the
show with a clean hit in the ninth.
There were two gone at the pulse
jumping moment, with the bases full.
That one wallop was enough to close
out the days entertainment.
The beauty and chivalry of Gaines
VILE and surrounding suburbs sup
ported the Giant cause, but to no eff
feet. The field-surrounding crowd
cheered each Giant as he came back,
but the deadly Red Sox persisted in
their winning ways. They have ap-
parently forgotten the science of de-
feat, proving that habit is still the
ruling force of nature.
Oscar Witt has rounded out great
infield for Ed Barrow, who can now
bank surely upon his defensive
strength. He has the toughest de-
fence to crack we've seen in MANY
year, one well supported against ac.
cidents and other turns Of misfor-
| tune that frequently upset winning

GAINESVILLE, Fla, April 1.-THE
evidence here to-day. Citizens swarmed
in from all outlying ana inlaying sec
tions overhowing all available space.
BY the time the Giants and Red Sox
around the field, while three of the
younger set were forced TO climb a.
friendly maple in oruer to obtain the
desired eyeful.
After the rush and roar Of the met
tropolitan life of Jacksonville there
was q distinctly restful feeling in
drifting along the elm and maple bor-
dered streets Of this quaint city. But
by noon the hotilla Of touring cars
which began to arrive changed the
local aspect of affairs. At times the
art of crossing a Gainesville street
was more difficult than ducking the
jam at Forty second and Fifth Avenue.
The Giants have the punch, but so
scattered. In two of their three de-
feats they have outhit the enemy,
proving again that concentrated fire
is the stuff that cuts away the wire
entanglements. In one round they as
saulted Mays for five clean blows, but
double play removed most of the
edge from their attack
The Red Sox completed their third
erroress ball game. They are fielding
here early in April as steadily and as
brilliantly as they did last fall AS a
defensive machine they have no equal
in the 1919 game.
If the game had lasted much longer
Manager Barrows's supply Of catchers
would have been totally exhausted.
Wallle Schang was cut down early in
the action by Fletcher's slide to the
plate, steel spikes ripping out por-
ton of his forearm. A few rounds
later Walters had a small section of
his thigh ripped open, forcing his re-
tlrement. Human flesh still remains
trife softer than tempered steel.
Benny Kauff finally broke through
with blow, his first of the series. The
hit was a short jab through short, but
Mr.. kauf was as greatly elated as #
he had blown up fence. Any old
brand of hit looks good when you &c
after them day after day without firing
q shot.
There's no doubt about the condition
OF Hal Chase and Larry Doyle. These
two veterans chase look as sprightly as
they did ten years ago. Both are we'll
along in their conditioning.

Is. The erection Of monuments Of
stone or granite to war heroes has
come to us from the age Of kings and
Kingdoms and fail to express the SEN

16. We feel the building should be

say the vote Tuesday carries with Il
any taxes or bonds.
II. To state that the corner 100 by
100 feet In the Park was Sc. aside
by Mr.. Mum to be used as a building
site for a State capitol or a county
