A RADICAL RULE SUGGESTED.
The Transfer of Players an Evil De
mandfnR LeSfsIation

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-The recent trans
fer Of Meekin from New York to the Boston
club has caused so much adverse comment
IN baseball circles that it may result in the
enactment Of radical reforms by the Ma
tionaI League this winter. 1t is contended
by several League men who have become
alarmed al the decline of the national game
In public esteem. that the bartering and
exchanging Of players during a champion
ship season is one Of the chief evils TO be
stamped out The League clubs have grad
uaIly worked these methods 10 death so
that, IL is thought, much OF the public con-
ndence in the sport has disappeared One
suggestion has been put forward as the only
feasible plan TO put into execution. The
idea is to pass a rule at the winter meet
ing of the League forbidding any club to
transfer or sell the release of one Of IFS
players 10 another club in the same circuit
during the championship season; that If a
player Is not wanted on the payroll he must
receive an unconditional release, with the
privilege Of signing with any club be may
select For a violation of such rule the
penalty must be ineligibility of the club
which transfers or sells the player, and a
fine of 81 600.
