THE MORNING OREGONIAX, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1910. PERSONAL FINE OF S700 KLING'S FATE Chicago Club Forbidden to Pay His Penalty Under Any Guise Is Edict. OLD PLACE HIS AT $4500 Punished Player to Ilejoin Windy City Team Under Original Con tract Murphy May Be Fined. Johnson Doesn't Act. CINCINNATI. March 30. John G. Kilns, the premier catcher of the Chi cago Nationals, will be reinstated in organized baseball on his payment of a. fine of $700. according to the decision of the National Commission made pub lic today. The decision was signed only by Chairman August Herrmann and Thomas J. Lynch, president of the Na tional League. The name of B. B. Johnson, president of the American League, is missing. The commission will require Charles W. Murphy, president of the Chicago Nationals, to show cause why he should not be fined at least J200 for violation of rule 47, which forbids a club to sub mit a contract to an ineligible player. Furthermore, the Chicago club will not be allowed to trade, sell or release Kling for one season, nor will it be permitted to pay Klir.g's fine, directly or indirectly, under a "severe penalty." Kling was fined, not for his failure to report to the Chicago club, nor for the violation of his contract, but solely Xor his connection with the Missouri Athletic Club semi-professional team, of Kansas City, and his playing with and against ineligible, players during the time he was with that club. Kling will also be required to carry out the terms of his original contract, which still has one more season to run. This called for a salary of J4500 a year. The commission states that Kling's ac tion cannot be termed a "violation of contract," as it "has been understood and accepted in baseball law. In speaking of the leave of absence granted Kling by Murphy on April 26, 1909, the decision says that Murphy's etatements are misleading. It says that the leave of absence has no bearing upon the case, as "it was not one en tered into or agreed upon in good faith.- The commission takes occasion to explain its action In reinstating Hal Chase, of the New Tork Americans, last season. Baying it was not granted be cause of his ability as a player, but because there were many extenuating circumstances. KXLN'G TICKLED TO BE BACK fine Termed Too High, but He Is Delighted Anyway. KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 30. "Al though the terms imposed by the Na tional commission are pretty severe, I na.ll abide by them, and it will afford me the greatest delight to greet the West Side fans in Chicago again," said John G. Kling today, .when apprised of the decision of the National commis sion in his case. "Tou know, the National commission is the court of last resort in baseball and when it tells a fellow what to do, he has to do it," added the catcher. "I think the fine is too high, and it is not to my liking to play for a salary of $4500, but I love baseball, and I am willing to meet the conditions Imposed against me in order to get back into the game. "I would rather play in Chicago than any place on earth. The fans In that city have always been very kind to me, and I tell you I shall be mighty glad to get back into a Chicago uniform. "I have not heard a word from the National commission about this mat ter. I received no official notification of any kind. But I expect to be noti fied of the decision soon, and I shall Join the Chicago club within five or six days after I receive the notice. I shall Join the club at their Spring prac tice camp." Asked to discuss the rumor that Pres ident Murphy, of the Chicago National League Club, would pay his fine, Kling said: "That is ridiculous. I will pay the fine myself, of course. Mr. Murphy would have no right to pay it. I can not understand how such absurd stories are started." Ban Johnson Silent on Case. EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo., March SO. "I have nothing to add to the Ftatement I made to an Associated Press representative here on March 28 in regard to the case of John Kling," said Ban B. Johnson, president of the American League, today. "That state ment represents my views on the sub ject, and I will not say anything more about the Kling case at this time." BIBLE CLASSES WILL SPRIXT V. M. C. A. Students to Run Five Mile Race on Streets Friday. Boys of the Young Men's Christian Association Bible classes will compete next Friday night in a relay race for which they have been training for a number of weeks. The race will be run in the city streets and it is expected that at least six teams of five boys each will participate. The race will cover five miles in all, each of the boys covering a half mile. The first set of runners will leave the Y. M. C. A. building, run on Sixth street to Yamhill, up Yamhill to Tenth, on Tenth to Taylor and down Taylor to the Y. M. C. A. building, at Sixth.

BOXER IS HERE ttoscoe Taylor to Meet Jack Les.sard Tuesday Xight. Roscoe Taylor, the Seattle light weight boxer who will hook up with Jack Let,sard in one of the feature bouts in the Oregon Athletic Club smoker next Tuesday night at the Ex position Rink,, arrived in Portland late last night. He will resume his training here this afternoon. Jockey Bennett and Jack Lessard gave a wonderful five-round ex hibition yesterday afternoon in their training quarters at Tracey's gym nasium. Bennett, even in practice, mixes every minute, and generally furnishes enough action to suit even the most rabid fight fan. He is quick, clever, a hard hitter and a dangerous man. He has taught the aggressive Lessard a few things since the two have been working together that will undoubted ly stand the fighting ironworker In good steqd in his match with Roscoe Taylor, the Seattle pride. Bennett fights low and generally comes out of a clinch with a right and left cross on his opponent's Jaws. In dodging and ducking he has few equals, and he has a right kick that is always dangerous. Lessard fights considerably like Bat tling Nelson, having wonderful endur ance, an almost perfect physique, and always on the aggressive. Carroll, who is training at East Pine and East Third streets, is also showing up In great form. Carroll will have 1 TO BE INVOKED Ministers Employ Attorney to Prevent Big Fight. 4 (J , ; j STATUTE ADMITTED PLAIN Ted Tonneman, Illinois Writer weight Champion, AVho AVants Go Wltb O'Connell. the advantage of Bennett In reach and possibly is a trifle more clever, but he will have to use different tactics than he did with Jimmy Austin two weeks ago, or Bennett will get his "goat." After going five rounds with Lessard yesterday, Bennett took on Gillen, the lightweight who will meet Esposito, for two more rounds. Fitton, who will go against O'Brien in a ten-round light go, is training at East Third and East Pine streets. O'Brien is working at the Police gym, while Esposito is straightening out his kinks at the Portland Swimming Club. Esposito will have a large number of Italian supporters, and is expected to make things interesting for Gillen. Alameda County District Attorney Promises Aid in Any "Tangible Legal Battle" for Betterment of Moral Conditions. OAKLAND, Cal., March 30. Deter mined to prevent if possible the pro moters of the Jeffries-Johnson fight from holding the big heavyweight bat- tie at the Emeryville racetrack arena on the Fourth of July, the Church Fed eration of the Alameda district has instructed its counsel.

Fetthouse, for Visitors, Is Spiked While Sliding to Second 'and Compelled to Leave Field. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Or., March. 30. (Spe cial.) In retaliation for yesterday's de feat, the Oregon Agricultural College baseball team shut out Whitman here this afternoon 3 to 0. The pitching for O. A. C. of Keene, a former Salem High School star, was the feature of today's contest. He struck out 11 men and al lowed but two hits. The presence of Coach Fielder Jones on the bench was an important factor in today's victory. His timely advice and trite criticisms were most effective. The three tallies registered by O. A. C, were made in the second, fourth and seventh innings, only one of which was an earned run, the others being the result of errors by the Whitman players. Belt was in the box for Whitman, and while, he allowed five hits, the defeat could better be accredited to lack of support by his teammates. An unfortunate incident occurred in the seventh inning when Fetthouse, Whitman's third baseman, in sliding to second, was spiked on the. wrist by Horton, who received the throw. Al though forced to leave the grounds, Fett house was not seriously injured. Belt allowed five hits, passed none and hit one. Keeen allowed two hits, passed three, struck out 11 and hit one. Two base hit, Keck; error. Whitman, 6; O. A. C, 3. CLCBS PLAX SOCIETY CIRCCS Three Performances Will Be Given During Rose Festival.
