MANAGERS AVOIDED THE ORAF TING LAW Committee Meets in Cincinnati
 to Pass on Question MANY PLAYERS PIONEERED" President. .kavanaush Writes Letter in Which He Says Southern League
 Managers Will Have to ob-
 serve Salary Limit
MANY PLAYERS POWERED"

The question of covering baseball players will be thoroughly discussed to- day at the meeting of the National com mission and the National board which will be held in Cincinnati The National board, which is composed of President Kava- naugh of the Southern league, President Bert of the Pacific Coast league, How ard Griffith of the Jersey City club, | George Tebeau of the Louisville club and | Tim Murname of the New England league held a meeting yesterday at noon in the | Grand hotel in Cincinnati, and they will report to the National commission this morning.
 By towering players is usually the practice of minor league clubs or mak- ing a foul sale of player to major league in order that this player may not be drafted,
 At the close of last season, for ex- ample, Ned Hanlon. manager of the Brooklyn club, bought" thirteen players from the said Ned Hanlon' who is owner of the Baltimore club. Of course, these players may be given a fake try out with Brooklyn next spring, and then all ot them will be returned by Manager Ned Hanlon of the Brooklyn club, to owner Ned Hanlon of the Baltimore club, As a result of this deal all these players were "covered" during the drafting sea- son and no manager of any big league team could get at them.
 The National commission hopes to do away with this evil by passing the new drafting rules, which provide for an in- creased drafting price and which requires a player bought before the end of the drafting season to report to the club pur- chasing him at once.

BASEBALL MAGNATES MEET.
Representatives of Minor Leagues
 Convene in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, January S-The minor base ball league representatives held a meet ing today to decide as to the best method for presenting their case to the national commission when that body meets tomor- row. The presidents of six organizations were present, and 1t was determined to go in a body. with Attorney Hoard Grif- filth to the Grand hotel where the meet ing will be held.
 The proposed new classification of play CTS for drafting is believed to be the chief point of difference, but the minor league officials today expressed confi- dence that there would be no trouble over that point. notwithstanding the an- nounced opposition of the American league.
 President Pulliam of the National league was confined to his bed today with nervous prostration, but expects to be able to attend the meeting tomorrow all right.
 All of the officials who are to partici- pate in the meeting excepting President Ban Johnson of the American league are in the city. and MT. Johnson Is expected to arrive In the morning.

For, Ala bamians at least, this display was one of the most interesting in St. Louis.

Players Lost.

According to the official list which has just been published the Southern League has lost eight of its plays by draft to the National League for the season 1865. The list follows:
 Ed Minahan bought by Cincinnati from Birmingham.
 John Gilbert, secured by Pittsburg from Little Rock.
 Ed Beecher. bought by Brooklyn from Memphis.
 Arthur Goodwin, bought by Brooklyn from Memphis.
 Harry Mcintyre. bought by Brooklyn from Memphis.
 George Watts, drafted by Brooklyn from Little Rock
 James wiggs, drafted by Brooklyn from New Orleans.
 F. Reisling, bought by Brooklyn from New Orleans
 Memphis, therefore, furnished more men to the National League than did any other Southern League team. Little Rock and New Orleans had to cough up two players each, one less than did the local club. and Birmingham lost one.
 The Southern Leagde did not fare very badly at the hands of the Nationals, all though they furnished eight out of sixty five players drafted or bought by the Ma tionals from teams in regularly organized leagues during the past few months. In these figures the plays which Brooklyn alleges she bought from Baltimore are not counted, as their sale was a clear case of Towering"

As to Southern League.

At tbe reouest of the league magnates Indee Kayanaugh has written the fol- lowing letter to the editor of the Sport Ing News:
 "The impression has been given in some of our metropolitan newspapers that the Southern league refused to agree to re- spect the salary limit. I pointed out the nenalty prescribed by the National asso- ciation-a very drastic one-and our as- sociation agreed that was sufficient. AL tention should be directed to that pro- vision, so that club owners and players may understand it more thoroughly. | .oThe Southern association understands 1t now, and I do not think any or them will risk the loss of their good players bv exceeding 1t. I am glad to say thai our association Is in excellent shape ana our meeting at Memphis was harmonious | all the way through.
 l "I have selected four umpires-Dan | Pfenninger, who offlciated during the last season, and who has made his home | in Little Rock since the close of the sea son. R. W. Black of Camden, N. J., who |
 last season after he resigned as manager of the Jacksonville club; Joe Burke, who was also with the South Atlantic league last season, but finished the season with the Southern league during the invasion of the east by the western clubs' ana Frank Bassett. who officiated during the entire season In the Cotton States league. Outside the recommendation covered by the fact that he worked throughout the season in the Cotton States Bassett was highly indorsed by practical baseoall men. Abner Powell of Atlanta, Newt Fisher of Nashville and Charley Frank of New Orleans, as committee, Will assist me in the preparation of a schedule for the coming year.
 "Our next race should be close, as the teams which finished in the second divis- ion in 1904 have been strengthened. our managerial talent is high class"
 w. B. Carpenter is slated for berth AS umpire in the Southern leage, says a Little Rock dispatch. This makes five umpires which have been bagged, and the staff is now complete.
