Eilber, of Philadelphia (28), 17; W. A. Miller (28), 17; E. M. Aileman (28), 17; W. A. Miller (28), 17; S. P. Segelhaum (28), 17; James E.

Vernon Wants Cravath; President Baker Willing Philadelphia, Dec. 29. Negotia tions are under way between the Phil adelphia Ball Club and the Vernon Club of the Pacific Coast League which will land Gawy Cravath, lead ing fencebuster of tho National Lea gue, in a managerial berth out Cali fornia way. If the deal is consummat ed. President Baker, of tho local club, was in town yesterday, but said that as yet he had not heard definitely from the Vernon president whether the terms of the transaction were satisfac tory. After that is arranged, the only thing that remains Is to get Cravath past the "waivers-system" net that may quite possibly keep him in the big show. Gavvy's days of home-run slugging aro by no means over, and it seems hardly likely that all of the other fifteen clubs In the leagues will alow him to pass down to the minors without a struggle. It will have to be fixed up out of court if it Is put through. Disallow Ball Club's Claim; Rule Against Charles Frank Cincinnati, Dec. 29. The National Baseball Commission yesterday allow ed a claim made by President A. J.

The attorneys also claimed that Frank admitted having contracted the debt, but that he had compromised If for a lesser amount, according to the com mission's finding. The commission ruled, however, that !t had uniformly oxerelsed jurisdiction In tho adjustment of financial obliga tions between parties connected with organi*ed baseball, If one or more were iduntlficd with the major league. The finding then goes to hold that the com promise wus abrogated through tho fact that one of Its conditions was not lived up to by Frank.
