The directors after reviewing the case passed resolutions declaring that the "alleged suspension was without authority and void and against the best interests and detrimental to the welfare: of baseball," and forbade Johnson from taking similar action against any other player in the Ame- rican Leagué "without a hearing and an opportunity to be heard given to | the player and the club involved for any alleged offence." The resolutions also called upon the presidént of the American League "to submit forth- with to Charles A.

Betting Doés Cricket No Good. - Expressing a fear that in some parts of England betting on cricket | wad "edging its way in," Lord Harris, | 4t a meeting of the Cricketers' Fund Friendly Society, appealed to all cric- keters to do their utmost to eradicate it. Lord Harris said he was not in fa- vor of prizes for cricket, but he hint- od that thé case containing the cele- brated "ashes" might one day be gi- ven by its owner as a prize for a contest between the Mother country and the Dominions.

Shaugh- nessy is a leader of champions. In 1912 he gave Fort Wayne a pennant. winner in the Central League. Ig the next three years he' took three pennants in the Canadian League with Ottawa, while in the fall he coached McGill University to a couple of football championships. It's a ha- bit with Shag. This will probably be Shaughnes- 8y's last se#son as a ménager and ball player. Ha did not want to re- turn t~ Je game, but Hamilton made him sach a tempting offer that he could not afford to turn it down. The Hamilton directors have been well repaid, They figure that the Tigers have played to over 60,000 people at Hamilton diready this season. = The owners have been fortunate in hav- ing to make few changes in the team. Shaughnessy started the se with most of his present plavers. His pitching staff has not been the stron- gest in the league by any means, but Shaughnessy sknows how to win with poor pitching. Shag. will retire at the end of this season and likely settle down in Ot- wa or Montreal. He may possibly coach one of the big football teams this fall, but he is emphatic in his decision to quit baseball as a particl- pant, Shag. is much in favor of re- organizing the old Canadian League, DEMPSEY RESUMES.
