meeting of the national board of base
ball managers. which convened at the
Fifth avenue hotel today. promises to be
one of the most important board meet
lngS ever held. Not only are some i'm
portamt questions between individual
players and managers before the meet
ing. but for the first time in the his
tory of the game the minor leagues have
secured recognition, and one OF the ques-
tons before the board today is more par
ticularly in connection with the practice
which has prevailed in the past whereby
the larger clubs acquired man from one
of the smaller clubs and then deferred
payment for three or four months, reserv-
ing the right to return the man to the
lesser organization if they choose. The
national board was called to order by
Chairman Young.

secretary and treasurer, resulted, as it
has for years, in the election of Nick
Young to the position.

between players and various clubs were
considered and disposed of.

ton was made to article 6:
"A club making selection of player
as authorized in the preceding paragraph
of this article. shall have the right within
thirty days of notice to the secretary Of
the board of such selection to Withdraw
from such selection, and on notice to
the secretary he shall return TO the club
the amount deposited with him. The Sc
Letting club shall. within sixty days of
it's original selection, tender the player
so selected, a formal contract and in case
of its failure to do so, the secretary Of
the board shall remit the amount de-
posted with the club for whom the
player was selected

again at the annual schedule meeting on
