DRAFT RULE IS IMPORTANT
Takes Precedence Over Other Laws
In September and
October.

The national baseball commission
held an all day session at the st. Mich
olas hotel, Cincinnati, yesterday, fin
ishing all business on the budget. The
most important action taken was the
unanimous decision that the draft
rule, which begins in September and
ends Oct. 10, takes precedence over
everything, with relation to the dis
position of minor league players, dur
ing the time named, and that the mi
nor league clubs are not entitled to
protection for their players during
the drafting season.

PIttsburg Gets Miller.
Roscoe Miller was awarded to the
Pittsburg National league club under
section ,. article 6. of the national
agreement, which provides that when
Il major league club releases Il player
he is not eligible to sign with any
club outside of the league to which
the releasing club belongs for period
of 10 days. The evidence showed that
Dreyfuss had opened negotiations
with Miller within 10 days of his re-
lease by the New York Nationals, al
though before the deal had been clos
ed Miller had signed with the New
York Americans. The decision holds
Miller not eligible to sign NTH any
| American league club until the eXpir-
alton of the 10 days after release.
The Philadelphia National lost Play
ers james Cockman and f. =. Kenna,
whom it claimed to have purchased
from Milwaukee. The evidence failed
to show any negotiations with Mil
waullee for these players. The cases
of Ferry and Mcintyre. drafted by
Dryfuss from Buffalo after their sale
to Detroit was cont nued for further
evidence, hut it is understood Drey-
fuss failed utterly to substantiate the
claim that the players had not legiti-
mately been sold to Detroit.
Donovan Cs-s Und. cided.
The decision in the case of Il. j
Donovan, drafted by the Chicago
Americans and claimed by the St
Louis Nationals. has been reserved. 1t
will be given cut by Johnson this
week. The cases of all other players
whose services are in dispute and not
named herein have been continued for
additional evidence, or decisions re
served for further announcement,
save in the case of August Dorner,
drafted from Columbus by Cleveland,
| The opposition in this case was with
drawn, and Dorner goes to Cleveland.
The commission passed on the new
rule suggested by Chairman Her
mann, providing the names of all play
ers purchased by major league clubs
from minors must be sent to the sec
rotary of. the commission before Aug.
20. This will avoid future cofRints
over the question of the major league
clubs right to draft players during
drafting season.
Another new rule provides that no
purchase of the release of any player
made during the drafting season shall
be allowed against the draft of any
such player. This means that after a
club has drafted a minor league play
er it cannot sell him to any other club
until the drafting season is over.
This is intended to prevent a raid on
the minor leagues by few clubs for
speculative purposes during the draft
| ing season.

agreement, which provided that draft

was repealed. as it runs in conflict
with section IF the same article,
which proyides the right of the minor
league clubs to players absolutely, ex-
cept from Sept. ] to Oct, Is, when
they are subject TO draft by major
league clubs.
The whole proceedings of the com
mission were harmonious and all de-
cisinus unanimous. Chairman Her
mann. who is heavy stakeholder in
the Philadelphia Nationals, voted
against the claim of that club to the
services of Cockman and henna. who
were claimed by President Potter to
have been legally purchased from Mil
