FARRELL TO SIFT
STALLINGS' CHARGES
Will Investigate Accusation That Hal
Chase Has Been "Lying Down"
NEW YORK, Sept 22. — The vapor of gossip that has surrounded the
quarrel of Hal Chase, captain of the New York American league
baseball team and George T. Stallings, manager, was cleared today by
a statemnet from Frank J. Farrell, president of the club. .
StaJHngs was in conference -with Farrell today, in obedience to a telegram
summoning him from Cleveland, and took the opportunity of making grave
charges. He accused Chase of withholding his best services on the field
and of "quitting"' when he was most needed.
President Far Tell thought the charges so grave that he took the first
for Cleveland, where the dub now is, to make a cmoplete investigation.
StaJHrtg-s -wanted to accompany him,
but was refused permission. If the
charges are sustained, Farrell said that
there will be no place for Chase on the
New York team, or, in his opinion, on
any other team. If they fail, he re
serves the right to deal with Stalling*
ajs he thinks fit. He denied that Chase
had been appointed managed of the
club.
FARRDLI/S STATEMENT
President Farrell made the following
Signed statement: I
In response to my calling- him
to New York. George T. Stallings
appeared in my office this morning
to give his version of the reported
trouble In the New York American
league club of which he is manager.
To my surprise Stallings made
grave accusations against: Hal
Chase, first baseman of the team
and Its captain. Stalllngs charges
that Chase has not been giving his
best services to the club and that
he has been guilty in baseball par
lance of laying down.
No ball player can afford to have
his reputation and the reputation
of his club smirched by such
charges and I have decided to go
at once to Cleveland, where the
Johnson Wants Purse
Posted Here
BOSTON. Sept. 22.— Jack Johnson has
declared his willingness to accept the
cabled offer of a $30,000 purse for a
championship battle with Sam Langford
in London. .
"Mclntosh is willing to give us either
a $25,000 or a $30,000 purse," said John
son "aDd I am ready to accept that
offer but the purse must be posted here
in America. That much I will exact
now so that Mclntosh and Langford
know where they are before I do busi
ness. Mclntosh Is O. X., but some of
these Englishmen do not come up to
my idea of sportsmen.
"My reason for insisting on the post
ing of the coin in this country is that
I want to put aside all chances of
i temptation for certain Englishmen.
. That purse is enticing, you know, and
there Is no telling what might happen
over there if it were left where it
could be easily reached. If I win the
\u25a0 bout . I can get it here on my. return.
I And I know Langford will not have any
• trouble securing possession of It If he
• is victorious.

team Is playing, to make a thor
ough investigation of Stalllngs'
charges, and if I find they are true,
I shall lay the entire matter before
the national commission and ask
that Chase be punished. I owe such
investigation to the public and to
the players.
STALLI.NGS STILL MANAGER
If Chase is guilty of Stallings'
charges v there is no place for him
on the New York American team or
any other team, in my judgment.
If he is not guilty, he should be,
promptly cleared of the charges.
If Stallings fails to prove his
charges against Chase it is up to
me to deal with Stallings as I see
fit, as Chase is too, great a ball
player to have his reputation black
ened by such" charges.
There have been recently many
misleading reports about my club
and a. change, in its.- manager. I:
desire to say now that George T.
Stallings is still manager of the
team, that while he is here in New
York the club is in charge of my
secretary. Thomas Davis, and that
I have not appointed Hal Chase to
manage -the team to succeed Stal
lings.
Farrell started for Cleveland tonight.

Battling Nelson Signs Up for
10 Rounds Go With Monte Dale
{Special Dispatch to The Call]
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 22. — Battling I^elson is going to try to
come back, for this afternoon he signed up to meet Monte Dale, the
hard hitting Kansas lightweight. The men will do battle before Cash
Welsh's dub in this city on the evening of October 10, and it will be a
10 round affair at the lightweight limit, 133 pounds ringside.
Dale has, been coming to the front very rapidly of late and upon
the urgent requests of his friends he finally consented to accept Nelson's
challenge. Bat has been doing a lot of roughing around the Yellowstone
park country for several months past and if appearances go for any
thing he is just as good as he was when he wore the lightweight crown
"I believe that I can work myself into old time form," said the
Battler after signing the articles. "I will try my best to come back, but
if I feel that- 1 am not there, then I will step down and out and not do
as Jim Jeffries. If I can beat Dale handily. in 10 rounds, then I will
come right to the front with a challenge for Wolgast. , They may yet
discover that I am still a very live- bird."

of the 2:02*4 mile by Cresceus there
came back the title today, when The
Harvester went a brilliant mile. In 2:01
flat and thereby took a quarter of a
second off the time he made last week
at Syracuse.
Although weather conditions today
were suitable Driver Geers, a moment
after he. had dismounted and acknowl-.
edged an ovation from the crowd, said
he would make another attack next
Thursday upon the record if the track
can be made solid close to the rail.
Because of the loose footing today
The Harvester had-to step a - long mile.
He was a trifle weary at the finish and
did not flash through the last quarter
as he has. done at other points on the
Grand circuit.
, Shortly before 5 o'clock the : cham
pion wa« sent away rushing and went
to the. first, quarter in 29% seconds.
.Over on the backstretch one runner be
came a trailer. The second quarter was
stepped- in 30 seconds. In the third
there was but a slight "slackening and
the time forit was, 30 U < seconds. An

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
LEAGUE HARD HIT
Notiffed That It Must Join A. A.
V. or Else Have Its Mem*
bers Disqualified
-Under the regime of the newly elect
ed registration committee of the Pacific
athletic association, amateur athletes
will be to walk the straight
and narrow path. Yesterday's meeting
of the committee developed a new
sensation in athletics, when the secre
tary of the committee was instructed
to notify Secretary George D. Baird of
the Sunday Schools athletic league that
his organization must become a mem
ber of the Amateur athletic union or
have its athletes disqualified by that
body. \u2666
The Sunday Schools athletic league
was organized about a year and a half
ago mainly through the efforts of Pres
ident Sidney Peixotto of th<j Pacific
athletic association.
It has held numerous athletic con
tests during the year in which partici
pants Have been the star athletes of
the Public Schools and Academic
leagues. These events have neither
been sanctioned nor have the athletes
been registered according to the A. A.
U. laws.
George D. Bair'J. secretary of the
Sunday Schools league, when seen last
evening said that he could do nothing
in the matter until he received the
official communication. Baird. who is
a former president of the P. A. A., has
always «been favorable to that body.
"Will Jordan, a student of the Oak
land Polytechnic high school, appeared
before the registration committee for <
an amateur card. His case was laid
over for a y*ar.
The "Western club was notified that
after the first of October it must 'hold
no more professional fights If it wishes
to retain its membership in the P. A. A.
Permission was granted the club to
postpone the wrestling championship
to October 12. - «
V. Fabris. Eddie Mulhem and Cecil
Caldwell were reinstated to good
standing. "
Moser is due tn twirl for the Commuters
this . afternoon, while either Stewsrt or Miller
will be on the firing line for the Sea In. No
I matter who pitches, it loots like a tight came
the way the two teams are playing.
