TRAFFIC IN PLAYERS
GIVEN A BLACK EYE AT THE WEST
ERN LEAGUE MEETING YESTERDAY.
Men and Then Sell Them to the
Hfshest Bidder.


Special 70 the Indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO. Nov. 23.-The closing hours of
the Western League session were not at
tended with the transaction OF much bust
ness. although the League did not final
ly adjourn until late this evening. The
most important action taken to-day was an
amendment TO the constitution which af-
fects the relations between the National
and Western leagues.
1t was decided that when in the future a
player that had been drafted by the Ma
tional League was offered back to the
Western League the club from whom he
originally was drafted should nave first
claim on his services. The rule practical
ly means that a drafted player when he
returns to the Western League shall go
to the club that formerly had him. This
will prevent the National League from
selling a drafted player back to the League
unless the club to which he formerly be-
longed Is willing TO pay for him. The
big League may protest against the ac-
ton, although the Westerners declare it
is a matter that concerns themselves sole
ly. Their explanation is that if a popular
player is taken out of a Western League
club and then is offered back to the League
after a time there is a ruinous COMPETE
ton to regain his services and If the club
which formerly had him does not outbid
the rest 1t may be accused of a stingy
policy. Nevertheless, ii will diminish the
chances of the big League to sell any
drafted player.
The League ordered President Johnson
10 draw up a suitable memorial to Harry
Wright. The question of complying with
the National Leagues request to have a
baseball day next spring. the proceeds of
which shall be devoted TO a monument to
Harry Wright, was deferred 10 the Feb
ruary meeting of the League.
Much OF the time the rest of the day
was taken in drawing up contracts per-
tanning to the transfer or the Grand Rap
ids players TO Columbus. Tom Lotus has
come TO terms with Manager Ellis, OF
Grand Rapids. and the players now be-
long to the Columbus club.
The delegates parted in good humor, con-
fdent OF the success of the League next
year. At the February meeting, in St.
Paul.. the report OF the committee on the
Omaha franchise will be heard. The ST.
Paul-Minneapolis and Kansas City clubs
are jubilant over the selection of Omaha.
as it helps their circuit. The Eastern clubs
are correspondingly disappointed and hope
that something may yet turn up which will
result in the franchise going to Toledo
instead of Omaha.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-The meeting of the
tr-anscontinental lines was continued to-
day and will be in session again on Mon
day. The proposed agreement has been
gone over and the chances are at present
that it viii be adopted. although there are
some things TO come up Yet that may
knock the whole thing into a cooked hat.
The agreement will. in all probability. be
very much on the order Of that now in
force among the lines Of the Western Pas
senger Association. The difference be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the lines OF
the Western association over the emigrant
traffic from New York to the Pacific coast
will be taken up on Monday. This Is
looked forward to as one OF the things that
IS likely TO cause a split among the roads.
It may. however, be gotten around without
causing a great amount of trouble.
A meeting of the passenger representa-
tives OF the Eastern lines will be called
in this city Dee. 5 for the purpose of con-
sidering east-bOund steamship business.
The meeting called for New York last
Wednesday did not materialize. The bulk
of this business from this part of the
country comes about holiday time and con-
sistS of Western and settlers
who go abroad to visit their old homes

volving a portion Of the town Of Ponca
City was rendered in the local land
office here this morning, giving the
land on which are the Santa Fe depot
and many Of the best buildings of the
town TO Andrew NJ. Waugh, a home
steader.
During the hearing, IL was developed
that one Of the claimants obtained a
booth certificate at Arkansas City,
and, as there was no authority for a
booth at that place, IL was held that
the certificate was no good and the
holder was not entitled TO hold land in
the Cherokee strip. This decision, IL
sustained in the department, will
knock thousands OF men out of claims
they are now holding in Kay, Pawnee
and this county. The department,
at the opening Of the Cherokee
strip, only made provisions for
eight booths, to be located on
100 foot strip surrounding the land
TO be opened. The crowd was so great
around the booth four miles south Of
Arkansas City that some enterprising
