AGAINST MINOR LEAGUES.
Decision of National Baseball Comn1is. sion Favors Major Organizations.

Decision of National Baseball Commits
 sion Favors Major Organizations.
 Cincinnati. Oct 27.-The session of the National Baseball commission here yesterday brought out a number of decisions llnfavorable to the minor leagues. The commission in construct ing Section 6 of Article VI of the na- tional agreement holds that contract made between minor league clubs aud players previous to the drafting period are not binding and inviolable as against drafts by major league clubs. On the strength of this decision. the following players were awarded to ma ior league clubs by draft:
 Shanp Ostoon to Washington Amer jeans; Ed A. Walsh to Chicago, Amer ican league: Thomas Jones to St Louis American league; James Dele hanty to Boston, National league: AT bert Jacobson to Washington, Fred O.. Hayner to Boston, National league; George Wrig1ey to Chicago, American league; Fisher to Boston, National league Roy Montgomery to New York, American league: Frank Smith to Chi cago, American league: Tim Dougher- ty to Chicago, American league: Joe seph Bean to Pittsburg, National league.
 Pitcher Roscoe Miller was awarded to Pittsburg the claim of the New York Americans on the strength of an agreement being denied on the ground that the New York management had no right under the national agreement to negotiate with Miller until ten dnys after he had been released, and that the Pittsburg clubs claim was filed before that time. It was shown that the Philadelphia National league club had not paid for Infielder Cockmara and Pitcher Kenra, and they were re- turned to the Milwaukee Western club Other cases will be acted upon later in the week. After sessic1i lasting throughout the day the meet ing tlisbanded. All other cases will be decided later in the week.
 For failing to appear before the board of arbitration of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues and substantiate the charges made by him that certain players had thrown games to influence the South ern leagne championship. William Phyle, of the Memphis club, has been expelled. This action was taken by the board at the meeting which has just ended in St Louis.
 Nothing was done in reference to the drafting price of players from its ju- risdiction to the National and Amerl- can leagues, and the price will un- doubtedly remain at S750. The draft ing prices from each league was, how ever. fixed as follows: From class B, $500; from class c, $500, and from class D, S2O0.

 With the opening of the football season in this city on last Sunday the practice was commenced in ringing in players from out of town to play on the local teams. This practice has been condemned on many occasions by all fair-minded lovers of sport in the city. 1t is a dangerous and unsports- manlfke practice. A manager or a team indu ging in such practice should receive no praise or credit. The man. agers of the City Amateur league saw the evils resulting from the practice of playing ringers from out of town and disbarred them. The managers of t4e different football teams in this city should adopt a similar rule. A team which wins a game by playing ringers from out of town has no right to claim the championship of the city. If a team sufficiently strong cannot be moulded out of Waterbury players then the team should disband. A Wa terbury team should consist of local players. but the managers of several teams have appeared to disregard this in the past.

Britnanss snappy Reply.

! The United States consul in Notting- ham recently wrote a bicycle firm in England asking for certain information. The head of the firm sent this snappy re- ply: Dear Sirs- Yours of the 24th ult. Informs us that you are instructed by the government at Washington to ask us for certain information regarding our business; but as we formerly sold from E10,00O to a12,00O worth of goods an nually to the United States. which your government shut out with a 45 per cent duty, we thinksit just like Yankee cheek to now ask us. for. information respects ing our affairs.

Leaves or nm Elm.

It has been computed that if the leaves of, an elm tree so feet high were spread out on the ground, edge to edge, they would cover five acres of land. These leaves, averaging 100000 to a full-grown tree, will transpire water to the amount of seven tons during the nor- nal summer day, Were it not for the in- gathering of the. stomate during the night few elms would soon draw off all the water from a district. As it is every market grower knows what elms are like near fruit or market gardens.

TO MARK MINERS GRAVES.
Pioneer's Plan to Erect Headat0mes Over Their Laat ReatAmm Planea.

Over Their Last Restfmg piaGes.
 The will of James Lamb, a pioneer, who died few days ago at Oroville. Cal, leaves the bulk of his fortune of S20,000 as fund for the erection of a stone to mark the resting. places of old miners who may hereafter die in Butte county.
 The pioneers who helped to make history for California are fast passing away. Many are indigent and friend less. Their former wealth has been sq1andered or spent in exploiting new diggings, and now. they are coming in from. their lonely cabins in the gulches and on the bars to the county, infrmary. From this time on their graves will be marked.
 James Lamb was d typical pioneer, but found himself with competence when he was unable to work. He left S4.500 to friends and the rest to mark the graves of his fellow pioneers

that they have earned, for the team that contested with them was fairly beaten and Manager Clarke, of the defeated team, and his men have nothing but words of praise for the fast work of their rivals, Not since 1889 has a worlds championship been fought and won. That year the New York National league and Brooklyn American association teams fought for the title and the Goth- amites won 1t handily. Never before, though, has the same amount of interest been displayed in the outcome of the worlds series and never have two teams fought for the honors that had as good 8 right to try conclusions as the National and American league teams this year, for each was the champion in major league. Boston's team is not combi- nation made up of what his been rscog- nized as star players heretofore, but tho whole team has now earned placesin the gallery of stars. Manager Collins and the pitchers, Cy Young and Dineen, have been recognized as among the bril- liants for some seasons. Manager Col lins, the third baseman of the team, was born at Niagara Falls and picked up the, game at St Joseph's college at Buffalo, where he attended. Frank Selee, then manager of the Boston team drafted him in 1895 and farned him to Louis- vile, where he developed into a third baseman. He has been the manager of the Boston team for the last three years lever since it was organized. The rest of the team was as follows: Criger and Farrell, catchers; Hughes and Winter. pitchers; Lachance, first base; Ferris, second base; Parent, shortstop:; Free- man, Stahl and Dougherty, outfleld- CTS, and O'Brien, utility man. The Pittsburg team has edualed Chicago, Boston and Baltimore's feat of winning the National league pernant three suc- cessive times. The league pennants were won as follows: 1876, Chicago; 1S77-78, Boston; 1879. Providence: 1sS0- Sl-s2, Chicago; 1883, Boston; 1884, Providence; 1Ss5~s6, Chicago; 1887, De- troit; 18SS-s9, New York; 1890, Brook Ayn; 1s91-92-93, Boston; 1ss9-190O, Brooklyn; 1901-02-03. Pittsburg. It Is remarkable that, excepting Pittsburg, no western team has landed a league ipennant since 1887, when Detroit cap- tured the flag. only to lose it with ease khe next season.
