Philadelphia, Nov. 15.-The annual fall
meeting Of the National Base Ball
League was brought to a close Satur-
day evening. The double umpire system
was adopted; provision was made for
the suppression Of rowdyism en- the ball
field. and 1t was decided to have four
trips between the sections instead of two
as heretofore.
The resolution adopted with reference
to raising the standard Of behavior Of
players on the ball field provides for a
committee Of three to formulate and re-
port at the spring meeting a plan which
will define foul. indecent and obscene
language on the field and prescribe a
method Of procedure for the punishment
OF Offenders the penalty for which Of
Tense. upon conclusive proof, shall be

appointed as the committee to formulate
the plan.

Colonel Foster. the American seal COM
missioner. was In London at the time.
ana was aDprised Of the proposed visit
and OF the sanction Of the London au-
thorities. This statement was called
out BY the misrepresentation as to the
omcial character Of the present visit.
The Canadian visitors have been an
noyed at reports telegraphed to Canada
to the effect that the visit was ar
ranged by . private gentleman of Tor
onto who was In Washington recently.
When this report was called to the at.
tention Of Sir Louis Davies helaughlinR.
ly stated that It doubtless was inspired
by desire to prejudice and belittle the
present visit in the eyes Of the Cana
dian people. Without reflection on this
gentleman personally 1t was stated that
he had no part in bringing about the
visit. and that the entire Arrangement
had been made in London during the
jubilee.
That plan. 1t was stated, referred
only to the Behring sea meeting, and
the present visit was official only in
relation to that one question. At the
same time the visit afforded the op-
portunity for an unofficial exchange Of
views on all the various questions at
fecting the relations between the Unit.
ed States and Canada. These problems
are more or less interviewer with the
Behring sea question. and the consid-
GRAFTON Of one involves to some extent
the discussion Of all Of them. The de-
sire was, therefore, to give the views Of
the Canadian officials on all these sub.
jects. and at the same time to secure
the views of the American officials In
the hope that some common ground Of
agreement might be secured.
The purpose Of this preliminary dis.
cussion, II Is stated, Is to have It take
an official aspect later in case any COM
mon ground Of agreement presents itself
such as the formation Of a commission
to consider all pending questions. The
reciprocity meeting will be one Of the
several unofficial discussions If it dis.
closes any basis for mutual action, then
the subject may assume an official phase

gated $1,000. With this sum the pris-
oner expected TO return to his own peo-
