The respecting of reservations and the draft price for minor league players are the chief points for consideration There is a misapprehension that this agreement is to pave the way to chopping play CTS salaries said President PuIliam yesterday. 'fSuch is not the case. Salaries are internal affairs, which each organizat ton regulates on it's own hook.''
 Joe Quinn, the manager of the Des Moines team and formerly with the Washingtons, was full of old time sto- ries recently, and time and again told of the tricks that Mike Kelly did on the ball field. remarking: we will never see another like him in baseball. He is the father of all the tricks they are using to-day. They have improved on some, but Kelly conceived them. Quinn then related litle play Kelly made with Boston when he (Quinn) was playing on that team with the great Mike. Thompson of Detroit hit a ball over the right field fence over KeIy's head. Mike took another ball
