and for that reason requested that ruling
be made by the commission.
1t called attention to that part of the
sections of the national agreement which
refers to the disposition of selected play
ers. where the full draft price has not been
paid or where the drafted player is re-
leased within a year after his selection by
a major league club, and contended that
certain legislation was in violation of these
sections in this, that the selected player
would not revert back to the club from
which he was drafted.
The legislation of the National Associa-
ton enacted last fall to which 1t calls at
tentfon was as follows:
Section 2. Players drafted by major
league clubs may be drafted by class A
clubs upon payment to the secretary, for
the benefit of the club from which selec-
ton was originally made, of one-half of
the draft price of the class in which such
club may be embraced before such player
can return to the club from which he was
drafted"
This legislation, in our judgment, is not
in violation of the national agreement
The Cleveland club presented still en-
other proposition, as follows:
Suppose that we had player drafted
from class B league whom we decided
was not yet strong enough for US, and
suppose that we knew some class A league
club which had player whom we could
use to advantage. Now. suppose that by
the payment of a cash bonus this class A
club should be willing to give us the player
we could use for the player we could not
use, would it be possible for us to make
such deal under the terms of the action
taken by the minor leagues at ST. Louis ::
We fully understand that we could not
make such deal under the terms of the
national agreement"
The ruling of the commission is that the
Cleveland club clearly has the right to
make such deal, and to do so under the
terms of the national agreement. When
a major league club has once obtained clear
title to a drafted player he does not revert
back to the club from which he was draft
ed, either under the terms of the national
agreement or any other club legislation
above referred to, unless he is given mis-
unconditional release, and this within the
time prescribed in section o. article VI of
the agreement, and is not to be considered
released" player if he can be sold OF
any member of the national agreement.

Professionalism in Golf.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
AS the amateur status of Walter J.
Travis, the national golf champion. is again
being made subject for discussion in the
magazines and press, it may perhaps be
timely to remind the writers that there are
others. Previous charges against the FOUR
time winner of the amateur event were in
vestigated by the United States Golf AsSO-
citation, and did not prove sufficiently strong
to relegate him to the professional ranks.
According to some of his present critics
Mr.. Travis has subordinated his supreme
position in the golf1ng world to commercial
purposes. This may or may not be the
case. but since some of the recent accusa-
lions have been pretty specific, 1t is to be
hoped they will be followed up by definite
protest at the annual meeting of the u. s.
G. A. next month. 1t is easy to make as.
sertions, but the genuine sportsman will
not do so unless he has the evidence to sup
port them. If the critics who have been
pursuing Mr.. Travis can make good their
charges they will have done a great service
to golf. AS the champion, the Garden City
expert naturally attracts the most atten-
ton. but there are others who should not
be overlooked. The lesser lights of the
sport need cleaning, and it does not require
Lick telescope with which to scan the
golfng horizon to find them. The men or
women who sell their names for the pur-
pose of advertising need attention, and.
while the publication committee Is at work
it might as well make clean sweep even
If the course Is a long one to play over.

christian Science" Deaths-A Correc-
fian
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your paper of January L. you published
a clipping from the New York Tribune re-
garding the death of two Christian Scien
lists of pneumonia, at Laconia. N. H. The
account states they were both under Chris
tian Science treatment, having refused
medical aid, and the certificate of the ply
stefan so read. The facts in the case, as
investigated and reported to me by Mr..
Farlow of Boston are these: Mrs. McClcs-
key was seized with pneumonia Monday
and a Scientist was called from Boston, who
gave one treatment, after which an M. ID.
was called. and she died under his care.
The daughter went to Boston on her own
account to get into quiet place, not being
urged to do so by the healer She was
practically over pneumonia. but was weak.
and the doctor said she died of heart fail
ure. The trip, under the conditions, was
perhaps unwise, but she took it of her own
volition in order to get Into happier sur
roundings. These are the facts of the case
and are correct In every detail.
A large percent, perhaps at leavt five
sixths, of the cases of deaths reported In
the papers as being under Christian Science
treatment. upon careful investigation. are
found to be either incorrect or having no
connection with our faith and practice; and
when we consider the fact that nearly all OF
our patients come to US as a last resort.
having been given up by physicians, the
mortality Is extremely low-in fact 1t 10
remarkably low under any condition.
