PLAYERS' FEAT SHOULD HAVE MAN ON NATIONAL COMMISSION, SAYS STOVALL George Stovall. former manager of the Cleveland and St. Louis clubs, and who now is on the Pacific coast, has come out strong for having a representativ of the Players' Fraternity on the national commission. In talking- to a San Francisco reporter he said: "Why shouldn't the p'ayera have a member on the commission The players make the game what it is, their troubles are of a peculiar natiure than can only be uderstood in the ranks. Furthermore. :it it not for the club owners to dictate any mure than the general policies for the players. "At all events there should be one man on the commission who !s strictly neutral, and right now it would appear that the Players' Fraternity Is the. only organization capatble of supplying that man. "Unless sftnething is done soon another war between players and club owners would not surprise me in the least." Stovall Fays that only the Players' Fraternity could furnish th man for the national commission who would be neutral. We do not "get Stovall on that statement. How would a representative of the fraternity be any more "neutral" than a roan representing either league? But representation cf a player will never exist on the commission. There is no occasion for such a change, for the present system has done all that could be 3one for the benefit of the players.

s'on from the French, army for Carpentier's furlough of three months will get the first chance to sign up the boxer after his arrival in Xew York, but ilanager recamps will not make any decision, before raec&ing the United State. The letter en route is rcot a contract, merely a reply to Rickaid stating nothing can be done until Carpentier reaches America. Beth. Desciraps and Carpentier are pessimistic regarding the chances of Anne Morgan or any one else obtaining a furlough for the French, champion. Carpentier's convalescence of a month after a slight attack of bronch tis expires next week. He will return to the French army aviation forces.
