DEs MONIES HIT FOR NUMBER OF PLAYER

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1.-The investigated
OF the drafting of players for next season
was the most important matter to come be-
fore the National Base Ball commission,
which was called to meet In this city today.
Before the meeting was convened II was
said that all players secured in a legitimate
manner will be given to the clubs that
claim them, but where there is a flaw in
the deal or the same Is proved not to be
bona fide, the commission will declare such
transaction void. Other matters of minor
importance will receive the attention of
the commission and 1t is thought the ses-
sion will take up nearly the whole day.
The first business transacted was the
adopting of an amendment to the drafting
rule, offered by August Hermann of Gin
cinnau. intended to give better protection
to the players and to prevent covering up
players by drafting. The rule as adopted
was as follows:
Whenever the minor league player has
been purchased by a major league club such
player cannot revert back to any minor
league club during the year following such
purchase unless all major league clubs in
both the National and American leagues
shall have waived claim to his services
And II such waivers cannot be secured
then the player shall either remain with
the club having purchased him or be trans
ferred to the club refusing to waive claim
to him by, sale to such club, and in such
instance the purchase price shall be the
same as is now fixed by National and
American leagues, $1,000 in like cases.
The commission refused to reopen the
case Of W. b, Douglass, claimed by the
Philadelphia National league team and
wanted by the Kansas City American as
sOciation club
The commission gave out the following

and American leagues:
