Commission Signs Checks Fori

o

The National Baseball (ilonunisaion1
held a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria
yesterday afternoon and settled up va-
rious matters relative to the. world‘s'
series, Garry Herrmann. T. J. Lynch
and [Ian Johnson went over the limo-3
ciai report of Leslie t‘onstans. who“
was the commisnion's rcprescnlutivc‘
at the local games, and tilled out'
checks for the Giants and Athletics,
also the rival club owners and the
commission itself. The players will
receive their money this morning.

The commission sent word to the
Philadelphia management to begin re-
funding money paid for ”third game"
tickets at Shiite Park. The sale in the
Quaker (lily was i'or three days. but
only two games were played there.
incidentally the commission will hold
a luv-cling; at the llellovicw—Straltord
in Philadelphia tomorrow. it was also
decided at. yesterday‘s coneiave to give
$1,000 to the land for the world‘s tour
by the Giants and White Sox. also to
appoint William Klein to umpire the
games. ‘

.lohu llcllraw appeared before the
commission and filed the list of play
crs \\ ho will begin the globe trotting‘
tour which starts here 'l‘hursdny nis‘ht.
The tirst stop will be. Cincinnati. where
the teams will play the tin: exhibition
on SaturdayH The roster of the
“Giants" is an l‘oliowa:

kle and Doyle of the (linnts. iloolan
and lmbert oi’ the l’liilltcs: outfielders,
Lon Mat-cc. ol‘ 'lic Cardinals. Snot!-
grnss. Thorpe and McCormick ot the
Giants.

The teams- will sail for Japan from
Vancouver, B. (X, on November '19.
The White Sox will take along Roger
l’eckinpangh. shortstop of the New
York Americans. ‘

Members of the (limits and Athlet-
lcawho "wrote“ for newspapers dur-
ing tho world‘s series will be notified
today to submit their contracts to the
commission immediately. incidentally
in a talk with the commission yestcn
day lectlraw, though a writer himself,
gave the practice a black eye.

“I am against. this playerrautllor

Hap Myers, released the other day
by the Boston Nationals to Rochester,
was here yesterday declaring that he
had been shabbily treated by George
Stallings. Myers believes without
much reason that he was let out by
Staliinns because he had been active
in the affairs of the Ball Piaycrs' i-‘rn-
ternity.

“i will not report to Rochester next
spring," said Myers. "1 .will remain
on the coast and quit the game. I
played good hall this year and was led
to believe right up to the last moment
that I would be kept. Now l've been

The fraternity. by the way. has made
seventeen formal demands on organ-

National Commission. It was learned
on reliable authority yesterday that
six of these demands. which cover the
players loading grievances, will be
granted on one condition. that a com-
mittee of players will supplant the
traternlty'e president. David L. Fultz.
in the present negotiations. The most
important concession to be‘made will ‘.
cover the salary of a player sold to a
minor league in mldseason.
