All the time that Ban johnson
was telling the world that no per-
son could even see the papers in
his office, he was telling the truth
The fact is. Big Ban could not have
shown them, for the very good rea-
son they have been in the possess
zsion of Charles COmiskey since the
word series was played. When the
Three Musketeers'' served John
son with an order secured from
court and when they were served
the Big Chief invited "Commy" to
call and get what he wanted. and
as the Chicago magnate wanted a
lot. it is certain that it took
wagon or dray to haul the papers
over to the White Sox Park. where
they nave been ever since.
Charley HerZOG says he does not
think Frank Baker will be back
With the Yanks. for Baker told
HerzoG that he was through. Well.
he said that five years ago, but his
name appeared in the box scores
ever since. It's bound to come true
some day. if Frank lives long
enough.

from his two new halfbacks, Flavin
and Malley, who will be better in
this game. as they have had more
time to perfect themselves in the
general play of the team. Johnny
McQuade will be back in the line
up and that will give it more punch.
as he is a hard man to stop when
once he gets under way. The squad

eight bases.

1t is too good to be repeated. They

they came right back with second
place to their credit. the Ath-

Since then the records show that

first division on three other occa-
sions, and but for the loss Of a
game would have made it SIX times
for the first division. If the fans
will look back to the morning of
the last day in 1917 when the
team finished seventh that on that
morning the team was in fourth
place, but in trying out several
youngsters on account of the old
players being out of condition the
team lost a double header and
went from fourth to seventh. That

COMMISSION TO
Get SEE'SCASE
National Body Will SetPrice
For Release of Reds
Player to Nationals.

Nothing new developed in the
See case between Manager Griffith
of the Nationals and the Cincinnati
club over the recalling of the play
er's release.
The entire matter rests with the
National Commission on a player
who occupies a case like this one
Any club that has a player that
has been a member Of any one club
tor a year or more. cannot recall
when waivers have been asked. and
the price as set is for $500. But
in case when a young player has
not been with that club or in the
league for a year. it is up to the
National Commission to set the pur-
chase price.
Price VIII BE Lower.
The ruling on this matter is very
clear. IL the new player cost less
than the draft price. all the club who
takes him has TO do is pay the price
the club originally paid. II may be
for 1900 then that is all that would
have TO be paid But in this case
where See cost the Cincinnati club
$1,000 and as that is four times the
amount Of the waiver price then the
Commission sets the price that viii
have to be paid for that player.
In the case of the player that Man
HW-ff4 t,-a
it is a safe bet that no one viii b.
asked to pay the price the Reds did.
They were willing to pay any amount
as they knew that il would be biz
money in the clubs pocket TO win liz
pennant and they needed an ouS
/, fielder. cost what il may. so when
they had the opportunity TO get See
they coughed up what was asked. But
that is no reason now that waivers
have been asked that the Reds can
expect anywhere near what il cost 70
secure him.
VIII Not Pay $4,000.
OF course no club would be 80 fool
| ish as TO pay $1,000 for the man noa.
and il the commission sets an eNor-
bitant price il is likely that GriT
will pass him Up. But IL the amount
is within reason then the National
manager il going to get him.
As nothing has vet been heard
regarding the intention of the Cincin-
natl club for the coming training sea
/ son. The local club is not able to
decide definitely what camp they will
train at. Nothing will be done until
some word has been received as {,
what the worlds champions are GO
ing to do.
