CHANGE STRIKE RULE.
American League Maanates
Favor Hip to Shoulder Bali

CHICAGO, Dec. Although consider
able business was transacted at the an
nual meeting of the American Baseball
league here today, several questions still
be held tomorrow. Two sessions were
held today, the might meeting lasting un-
til nearly midnight The affairs of the
Washington club occupied all the time of
meeting adjourned tonight the problem
was as far from solution as ever.
B. S. Minor represented the directors of
the club and as secretary of the club also
represented the league, which holds a
minority share of the clubs stock. No
proposition that Mr.. Minor was able to
make to the minority stockholders on be-
half of the Washington people was ac-
ceptable, and the offers made by President
Johnson, of the league, to Mr.. Minor, act
ing for the Washington owners, We're not
accepted.
At the night session new rules to con-
troll the game were approved and Will be
submitted to the joint committee of the
two major leagues for adoption The
most important change agreed upon was
that in the future pitched ball passing
between the hip and shoulder shall con-
stitute strike. A pitched ball between
the knee and shoulder is called strike
according to the present rule. Comiskey,
of Chicago; Mack, of Philadelphia, and
Kilfoyle, of Cleveland, were named as the
committee on rules which will confer with
a similar committee of the National
league.
1t was also agreed to begin the play
ing season April IS, and that the schedule
should consist of but 140 games instead
of-f54, as last year. An effort will be
made at the joint meeting of the two
leagues to have the National league adopt
a similar programme.
A letter written by Secretary Bruce, of
the National baseball commission, to
President Johnson, suggesting that the
two major leagues get together more
closely on all questions, was read at the
meeting and unanimously approved.

FAULTY WEAPON
SAVES A BURGLAR
Proprietor of Drug Store Tries
to Shoot. bat Cartridge
Won't Explode

An enterprising burglar looted three
stores in the vicinity of Lake street and
Hennepin avenue Tuesday night, and but
for the fact that NJ. E. Washburn's re-
been one less man engaged in nocturnal
occupations.
Burglars entered Gould Lincoln's
drug store on the opposite corner, took
a survey of Jones & Sawyer's hardware
store near by, and then paid their at
tention to Mr. Washburn's store.
A restless babe gave the alarm and
aroused Mr. fWashburn, Who elfyes over
his store. He descended to the lower
floor armed with a revolver and was
halted by an armed man who was crouch
ing behind a radiator. Mf. Washburn let
go with his revolver and hit the radia-
tor with fle-bullet Then he tried to
shoot again but the weapon refused to
work
He was ordered to pass over the key to
the front door, butseXplained that it was
upstairs. Then the back door key was
demanded and produced, Mr.. Nashburn
being covered with the thief's revolver all
the time Then he was ordered to back
upstairs and he obeyed the command of
the marauder, who left by the back door
and in response to Mr.. WaShburn
shouts for help announced he would put
bullet into him. He didn't do anything
of the sort, but Travelled as fast as he
could.
A Kenwood grocery at Penn and Frank
lin avenues was robbed but the burglars
confined their attention to securing a
supply of eatables.
The loss at the other stores is not large,
except in the case of the burglary In MI
Washburn's Mr. Washburn ma images
poStoffice station and about 500 worth OF
stamps and envelopes was taken away.
This makes the charge against the burg
lar a serious one and he will be prosecuted
under the federal laws If he is appre-
hended.

new LOOP ORDERED
Street Cars to Run on Fifth
Street and Second Avenue


The railroad committee of the city
council yesterday agreed to recommend
the adoption of the petition of the Minne-
apolis street railway company which seeks
to make new loop in Minneapolis.
One line is to run down Fifth street
from Hennepin to Fourth avenue south,
and there is to be a line on Second avenue
south. First avenue north is to have a
line from Third street to Fifth, and some
other alterations will be made
This plan has been under discussion for
some months, but yesterday it was
brought to the attention of the committee.
; l.. B. ElWood who represents the New
York Life building, thought the proposed
plan should be adopted, and so did c. j..
Sawyer, another real estate man, and j. I.
Lynch.
Thomas Voegeli, ]. c.. Eliel and ]. r.
Kingman, who are satisfied with the pres
ent conditions, opposed the proposition.
Some of the speakers on both sides sup
ported and opposed the plan for purely
business reasons, realizing that it meant
a gain or loss of trade for them.
w. j. Held, general manager of the
company, announced that should the con-
cession be granted there might be some
changes in the grade crossings in Minne-
apolis. Alderman Merrill of the Fourth
ward, who aspires to be president of the
next council. said something about re-
duced fares during the morning and even
ing hours for school children, but no one
seemed to hear him.

Second precinct of the Second ward he
lost five votes.
