| Through the Moose Brook valley to-
ward Barre Plains, Reynard led the
way. The dogs lined up. over side
hill south of the Rogers place and a
grand opportunity was afforded for a
sight of the pack.
The fox cut two circles toward Barre
Plains and all dogs were thrown but
seven-Jane, owned by Philip w. Moen
Of Worcester; Bourbon, owned by DR..
A. C. Heffenger of Portsmouth, N. H.;
The Ripper, Col Williams of Lexing-
ton. KY; Resolution DR.. A. G. Hef-
fenger; Scout, Randolph Crompton;
Roland A. B. F. Kinney of Worcester;
Breeze, Mrs. E. M. Campbell of Woon-
socket. r. I.
When the seven hounds were hard at
work, they were viewed by the judges
Town clocks were striking seven, and
five minutes later, the leaders went
across Moose Brook to a point near
the Thresher arm. There the dogs
made hard work of 1t. The fox had I'M
doubtedly taken to the gowth of chest
nut in the vicinity The wind was blow
ing f1ercely and the scent was lying
poorly, the high winds carrying away
many leaves and absorbing the scent.
Reynard got big lead and came, out
into the road at the ThresherS place,
continuing for about 100 yards. The fox
passed between house and barn where
he probably sighted one of the group
of hunters at the bottom of the hill and
turned sharp. The seven hounds that
had been doing all the meritorious
work were joined by those shaken dur
ing the hottest part of the run, and 16
dogs worked for half hour in an at
tempt to pick up track.

that foiled the pack, and the track was
not picked up again after the dogs had
reached the point near where Reynard
slipped away. The hounds circled and
showed ambition that was commend
able in view of the hard work on the
previous days.
Breeze, Songster, Sailor, Jumbo and
Brush later struck a track in a rocky
pasture and followed it to the North.
None of the hunters followed, and the
dogs were not in until early after
noon.

Salary Limits Fixed For Players
by National Association of
Professional Baseball Leagues
Yesterday
ALSO FINES FOR
VIOLATION OF CONTRACT
Every Delegate Pledges Himself
to Uphold and t OReCOgnize the
New Agreement For Next Ten
Years in Every Detail-Anoth-
er Meeting Today

New York, Oct. 25.-The delegates to
the meeting of the National Associa-
ton of Professional Baseball Leagues
spent the greater part of the day in
discussing vital matters at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. They convened about
noon and were in executive session up
to a late hour tonight.
Nearly every point of vantage in
the baseball world was represented at
the meeting, with the exception of the
territory covered by the National and
American Baseball Leagues,
President p. T. Powers of the new
association wishes it to be distinctly
understood he says, that the National
Association is not in conflict with the
major leagues, but, as he explains II.
the minor leagues throughout the
United States have been banded to-
gether to Illustrate any attempt on the
part Of the National League or the
American League to take advantage
of the abrogation Of the National
agreement, which, for several years
past has been a protection to the
minor organizations.
Several weeks ago representatives OF
nearly every minor league In the Unit
ed States and CanRDa assembled at
Chicago for protective purposes, and
at that meeting new national agree
ment was drawn up to perpetuate
baseball as the national game OF
America and to surround it with safe
guard strong enough to warrant the
confidence of the public in its n
tegrity and methods. Also, the men
who drew up the new agreement said
they were anxious to promote and af-
ford protection to such professional
baseball leagues as might desire tc
operate under the provisions of the
new agreement which were practically
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-10-26

in common with the old national agree
ment recently abrogated by the Ma
tional League.
Today's session was taken UP main
ly with the discussion of the new ma
tional agreement, but before smything
was decided, all the delegates present
pledged themselves to uphold and rec
ognize in every detail the new agree
ment for the next 10 years.
The national board of arbitration has
been vested with supreme authority,
and the wide scope of territory was
considered by the new organization to
be as effective as it is far-reaching.
The following are the names of the
members of the board of arbitration:
]. T. Hickey, St. Joseph, Mo-; M H.
Sexton, Rock Island, ILL.,; James H.
O'Rourke, Bridgeport, CT; w, H. Luz
cas-, Portland, Oregon; T. H. Murnane,
Boston, and j. H. Farrell, secretary
Auburn, N. Y.
The new national agreement was
taken up section by section, and It was
decided that the following salary limits
should be as follows: Class A, $1,000 per
season. Glass B, $1,000 per season. Glass
C. $1,000 per season. Class d, $500 per
season.
In reference to salaries, it was decid-
ed that should any club exceed the sal
airy limit of it's class, its secretary
shall be warned by the secretary OF the
association, and if after having been so
notified, the offending club shall not
make good its forfeiture within 10
days. the National Association shall
withdraw all benefits and protection
fro msuch club.
Another question of great moment
was the infection of penalties on play
ers who may jump their contracts, ana
it was decided that any player under
contract to a club shall violate his con-
tract with a minor club or association
in playing with another. he shall be
debarred from the privilege of any club
a party to the agreement. Should any
player under reservation violate the
rules he shall be disqualified from play
ing with any club member party to
the agreement and all club members
party to the agreement are to be de-
barred from employing or playing with
or against such a disqualified player
until his suspension has been, revoked
by the association.
While the new organization profess
es not to be antagonistic to the Nation
al League or the American League,
there is a proviso in the new agreement
that in case the National or the Ameri-
can Leagus Clubs go south or any
where for practice, or any other pur-
with ineligible players, or in other
words, those players who shall be un-
der the ban of the new association,
shall not be eligible to play, with Wis
iting teams or local teams.
Another cast-iron rule which may
prevent players from leaving the
| services of any club or party to the
new agreement without consent of the
owner or owners provides that they
shall be fined as follows: Glass A,
$1,000; class B, $780, class c, $500; class
D, 5000,
Without the payment of these fines
in the several classes, player cannot
return into his club or maintain his
original standing. The delegates will
reconvene tomorrow morning.
President Powers said that undoubt-
edly they would be able to finish their
labors by tomorrow afternoon.

CAR OVERTURNS VEHICLE IN FRONT OF
WALDORF. WHERE ITS OC-
CUPANTS LIVE.

Excitement rife in front of the Waldorf
Astoria yesterday when a westbound Thirty
fourth-st crosstown car crashed into closed
carriage, knocking it on its side and
smashing 1t to pieces Mrs NJ. z. Leavitt, who
owns the carriage. and a companion whose
name the police did not learn, narrowly escaped
serious injury did the driver and two foot
men. Mrs. Leavttt and her companion were
inside the carriage when the crash came, but
they -escaped with only Few bruises They
were carried into the waldorf-Astoris, where
they live and were attended by a physician
The driver and two footmen were thrown from
their seats.
William Keenan, the driver of the carriage.
of No. 151 East Thirty-eighth-st., had driven
down Fifth-ave, and was just making a turn
to the left, intending TO drive into the horse
shoe to the right of the main entrance of the
hotel when the came speeding along and
crashed into the carriage It was struck in the
rear and knocked completely over its side
Two bay horses attached to it became unman-
ageable and attempted to run away. Policeman
Wickman, of the West Thirtieth-st. station
grabbed the bride of of the animals and
prevented them from starting to run. They
kicked furiouSly, and smashed the pole and the
dashboard of the carriage.
William Kiley the motorman of the car, told
the police that he had stopped the car at Fifth
ave, to take on passengers. He started 1t
again and put the current on almost full. A
carriage had just crossed Ine TRACKS, loIIo"eu
by Mrs. Leavitts vehicle. Kiley saw the dan

momentum could be checked the car rammed the
carriage.

Gated from the wreckage after considerable
trouble. The horses were rearing and plunglng
and Policeman Wickman was compelled to cut
them loose from the harness. Mrs Leavtt was
in a fainting condition, but not severely
injured. She suffering more from fright
and shock than from bruises. She said she
would make a complaint against Kiey.
New-York tribune., 1901-09-29

The Columbia has been thought world beater
al this kind of sailing. and it was by her ex-
ceptlonal ability to sail the wind that she
beat the first Shamrock. 1t was expected
therefore. that she would finish before the Irish
boat on the windward leg. Consequently there
was much amazement when it was seen within
a few minutes after the two boats had swept
over the starting line that Sir Thomas's sloop
was quite shifty at beating as the Columbia
Another thing that surprised most of the
yachtsmen was the fact that in the lighter
winds that prevailed after the run home had
commenced the Columbia appeared to the bet
ter advantage. After the first attempt at
race on Thursday Sir Thomas said that all he
asked was a strong and steady wind but the
prevailing impression has been that the chal-
lengng boat would probably do better against
the Columbia in light airs.
1t was not promising day for a race when
yachtsmen awoke early in the morning and
looked out of their windows. 1t did not grow any
more promising, either. they found their way
aboard the various boats that were to take them
to the scene of the contest A fairly heavy fog
hung over the waters of the bay and there was
little wind stirring. However. few persons aban-
doned their intention OF at least trying to
the race, and they we'll rewarded, for be-
fore most of them had passed through the Mar
rows the sun had burned it's way through the
in from the southeast to stir the penants of the
yachts and send the smoke trailing back from
the smokestacks.
FIRST TO SHOW HER CANVAS.
Even the earliest of the observation fleet to
arrive off the Hook found the two racers al
ready in tow and bound for the Scotland Light
ship. Both towed out under bare masts. and 1t
was not until the ightship was nearly reached
that the crews got the word to hoist the main
sails The Shamrock the first to show her
canvas but Captain Barr got his men to work
Immediately after The Irish crew grasped the
hayards and went back with them on the run,
while the crew of the American flyer sent their
mansail up In the "Yo, heave. ho!" fashion.
The two yachts sent aloft their club topsails at
the same time. few minutes after 10 o'clock
the committee boats and the revenue cutters
arrived at the lghtship and began TO establish
the patrol lines
The observation fleet was late in arriving, but
when it did come it came with vengeance
The north hern horizon was black in some places
with the smoke Of steam craft, and white In
