HERMANN ON STAND National Commission Head Called As Witness in Baltimore Feds Suit— Ned Hanlon Also a Witness. « Philadelphia, June 14.—Only two witnesses were called yesterday 1n the $900,000 anti-trust suit of the Baltimore Federal league club against organized baseball. August Herrmann, chairman of the National Commis- #ién, occupied the stand the greater part of the day. Edward Hanlon, owner of the site of the Baltimore club’s ball park, was the other wit- nees. Attempts to show a mor‘)ollafic tendency were made through exam- ination of Herrmann as to the effects of National commission rulings on players, who, once suspended or dropped from the major leagues, are prevented from playing with other major league clubs until reinstated by the commission. The case was resumed today¢ WANTS CONGRESS TO SEND COMMISSION TO BATTLE FRONTS Representative Charles B.

New York, June 14.—Two stakes of particular importance will be run during this the closing week of the spring meeting at Belmont park. To- day the Keene Memorial, a five and a half furlong test for two-year-olds, having a cash value of $5,000, was contested and on Saturday, the final for three-years-olds, will be decided. There have beén ninety-four nom- inations for the Belmont, which has a guaranteed value of $7,500, making |’ it the most valuable stake of the spring meetings at local tracks The distance is a mile and three furlongs and the winner will need to have ex- ceptional endurance as well as good speed. A Among' the most prominent colts nominated for this classic are August Belmont’s Hourless and R. T. Wil- son’s Campfire. If Trainer Healey elects to start the latter colt, an an- swer may be found to the question that is vexing turfmen—whether last year's champlon two-year-old i& merely a sprinter or whether he 18 capable of maintaining his speed over a long route. It Campfire declines the test, it will rob the event of much interest, as in that case the honors will practical- ly be conceded to the Belmont colt in advance. To all appearances tha field will be practically the same as that which competed for the Withers, in which Hourless \defeated Rickety and Skeptic, with Campfire an indif- ferent fourth. The Belmont Memorial on Thurs- .nsou South Bldg., !day should bring out a fine fleld { of two-year-olds. Among those like- {1y to star are August Belmont's Lu- cullite and Drastic, H. P. Whitney's Rosie O'Grady, Royal Ensign of ‘the Wicklift stable and R. T. Wilson's Starwort The meeting between Lu- cullite and Rosie O'Grady will be of great interest as these two cracks , have vet to hook up in a duel down ]the stretch. WALKOVER FOR LEHIGH.
