The case was discussed at length and then laid over for future consideratioy, either by COT= responce or at a special meeting of the commission. Kling and President Murphy of the Chicago club are asked to furnish the commission with copies of all the cor- respondence which has passed between them since the close of the playing sea- son of 1908. They are mn five days in which to present this ewidence. Commission Wants List of Names. In addition, Kling is asked under the same limited terms to furnish a list of the players who accompanied him to Chicago as members of his gemi-pro- fessional team and engaged in games there last yar. It is supposed that the commission is anxious to learn wheth- er the famous catcher violated the rule which prohibits players from en, in games for or against ao~o&ued “out- lawed players.” Kling Willing to Produce Evidence. Kansag City, Feb. 24—“I am per- fectly willing to submit all the evidence in my possession to the national com- mission,” said John Kling today vrhen shown the despatch from Cinciprati to the effect that he must present evi- dence to that body within five days to show cause why he should be restored to standing. Murphy and I have indulged in very little correspondence,” continued the catcher, “most of our communica- tions being over the long distance tele- ne. “The only statement I am prepared to make to the national commission is that I put practically all I had into a private enterprise in this city and had to remain here to look after it. When the mana, t of the Chicago club realized my situation I was given an indefinite leave of absence.” Murphy Won’t Talk. Chicago, Feb. 24.—Charles W. Mur- phy, president of the Chicago Nation- als,refused to make any statement con- cerning the Kling case. *“I refuse to’ submit to an interview on Kling,” were his words. \ HOLYOKE MANAGERIAL JOB FOR POP FOSTER When Reinstated Will Sign Contract— Is Tied Up to Tri-State Now. Holyoke, Feb. 24—The report that Clarence (Pop) Foster would be the manager of the Holyoke club for the coming season was confirmed last night by Treasurer Fred A. Winkler, who said that he had just recelved a wire from the Reading man that he would take the local job. Treasurer Winkler said that_he was aware that Foster was still on the ineligible list for ‘having jumped the Bridgeport team in 1903, but he felt certain that the player would not have any diffi- culty in getting back inte the good graces of the national commlssion. As. soon as Foster secures his reinstate- ment he will' attach his name to a Holyoke contract, and this, it is ex- pected, will’ tgke but a short time. Foster managed the Reading club last season. Now he has tired of the wrangling that has resulted over the appointment of a' manager of the Reading Tri-State league club for the coming season and has purchased his Rsmsmement—-%&t&-g N‘u}u. w.

Phflxdelphin Feb. 24.—Connie Mack loes not expect to make any changes ln the team that was barely nosed out by Detroit fer the American league championship last season. He has split the Athletics Into two squads, composed of veterans and youngsters, It is a singular fact that the vet and colt bands will never meet down south. *| The squads will get away a week from Phillies Off for Southern es. Philadelphia, Feb. 24.—The members of the Philadelphia National league baseball club left here today for South- ern Pines, N. C,, for their spring train- ing. The team will remain there about FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL LATE UPWARD MOVEMENT Ended a Day of Almost Lifeless Busi- ness in Stocks. New York, Feb. 24.—Dealings in stocks today were scarcely larger than yesterday. The thinness of the market Wwas as marked on the selling side ason the buying side, and it required but a small abscrption to lift prices. It is the scarcity of stocks offering for sale that makes the professional operators ry about operating on the short side of the market, in spite of profess- ed conviction on their part that no sufficient demand is felt to indicate an accumulation on an influential scale. The timidity of the bears is aggravat- ed by such a demeonstration as that of last week ih Reading and that of today in the southern group of railroad stocks. Today’s movement lacked au- thoritative expianation as completely as did the previous action of Reading. A supposition naturally arose that some financial project was working out designed to change the relation be. tween these properties, already very close by reason of the control of Lou- isville and Nashville held by Atlantic Coast Line and a mutual contr other properties held by Loulisville and Nashville and Southern Railway. Until the movement in these stocks stimulated some vitality in the rest of thes market it was practically lifeless. An early attempt to depress prices met with little success, and this, as much as any definite’ news of conditions, prompted the later upward movement. The quietirg down of affairs in Phila- delphia was accepted as good news The offer of arbitration by the Balti- moré and Ohio in its labor dispute made a hopeful impression of pros- pects for the way in which other dis- putes might be dealt with. The abstract of the reports to the controller of the currency of the na- tional banks of the country as of Janu- ary 31st showed the loan expansion since the November 16 report well dis- tributed, the New York banks being responsible’ for less than $18,000,000 of the $80,715,880 aggregate iricrease for that period. Bonds were steady. Dealers report an improved demand sales, par value, §2,692,000. States twgs, threes coupon and fours advanced 1-4 per cent. on call. STOCKS. High.

Davis, a great baseball general and cleanup player, will be retained at first, and there is nobody to worry Ed- die Collins, next to Cobb the greatest ‘batsman and base runner in the Amer- ican league. Baker, another hitting %l ana fieiding prize, will be at third, and Barry, a conscientious worker, has the inside track at short. Dan Murphy is virtually the only outfielder sure of his place.

You might as well tell a fel- low to strike the ball on the trade mark or hit it with the end of the bat. You will have just as good a chance @as to do some of the things that the wise boys try to tell you. “There is only one man I know ot who is at all sure where he gol to place the ball, and that is Wlllie Keeler of the New York Highlanders. He gencrally pops a dinky liner be- tween first and second over the heads of the Infielders. That is because he always shoves his bat instead of strik- ing hard, and practically bunts the ball. As’a result the fielders lay for him and play close to the infield. But Keeler often is fooled himself, and does not have much success against the pitchers of today. “Mitchell of Cincinnati, who has had such a career the last year with the stick, tells me he has no idea in the world where he is going to hit the ball or where it is going. He says that he is glad to knock it anywhere. He is Just as pleased if it is a safe bunt down toward third as when he knocks the board oft the fence in the outfleld. He whacks the same for both kinds of :;rallo‘pl and trusts so luck all the me. “This fine batter of the Red Sox, Speaker, is another man who hits at all kinds of balls from all manner of positions, just to hit the ball at all All this kind of talk you hear about placing a ball is tommyrot. A batter hasn't a chance of putting the blll where he wants to. Somfet m-xrm a shortstop run to cover secon hen there is a man on first, and the bat- ter slices a hot erounder through the place just vacated by the player. “‘Gee,’ the fans yell, ‘didn’t he pick out a dandy spot? Hundreds actually believe that the batter intentionally aimed the ball for that vacant spot. But he didn’t; it was just a great plece of luck. He was merely pulling off the hit-and-run play, in the majority of instances, and just had things break right for him, as dall players say. Dont’ imagine for a minute that he picked out that spot, for he couldn't do it, no matter how hard he d. “I often have to laugh when I hear a new man.say that it is eagler to hit in the big league than in the minors. It is just because the pitchers have not found his weak spots, but when they do he falls back in the .120 class 999 times out of 1,000.” MOHA SIDESTEPS CLABBSY. Badger Matchmaker Forced to Give Up Moha-Clabby Bout for Next Show. it's beginning to look very much as if Bob Moha, the local welterweight, was only fooling with his talk about being just wild to get In the ring with Jimmy Clabby, says the Mlilwaukee Journal. For two hours yesterday afternoon the matchmaker of the Badger club tried to coax Bob into a match with Mulkern’s. champion, but finally the matter had to be given up as a bad job, as Bob held too high an opinion of what his services were worth. Final Mulkern made him a winper take all proposition, but this, too, Moha side- stepped, claiming that he could not get a square deal on the decision, which would of course have to be left to the five Jocal newspapers. And so the matter had to be dropped and the pri pects are that there will be nothing doing in the boxing line here for an- other couple of weeks. Mulkern says that he is willing to match Moorehead with Moha' and would be willing to make a little bet that the South Mil- waukee scrapper is the winner. PAID TO GET MAD. Manager Dooin Will Every Time He Put Off the Field. In order to put more ginger into the playing of Titus, the Phillles’ right fielder, glve him $10 every time he is put out of the gameé this season by the umpire for growling. Dooin thinks Titus too easy going and is trylng to encourage him to be more aggressive. ‘Manager Dooin says: one dream is to see Titus thrown off tic field in the opening game. If this is done I am convinced then that nothing will keep us from winning the pennant.” Every player on the Pittsburg club will receive “overtime” pay for every hour worked after Oct. 13 next. Pres- ident Barney Dreyfuss of the Pirates insists that the six months’ contracts signed by the men terminate on that date, and that if the new schedule ar- rangement approved at the recent meeting in New York is faithfully ob- served there will be a neat bonus com- ing to each man.
