COMMISSION CENSURES
THE BROOKLYN CLUB

CINCINNATI. September 19-James
Wigs of the Detroit club of the American
League was formally reinstated as a ma
tional agreement player by a decision an
nounced by the national base ball commits
sion. and his temporary connection with
the Detroit team Is made permanent
Wigs had called attention to his case his
refusal to sign a Brooklyn contract for the
present season at a lower salary than he
received when in minor league having
led to his becoming an outlaw player.
In announcing his decision President
Hermann says:
while there Is no rule on the subject 1t
has been and should be the custom that
when player advances from q minor to a
major league he is to receive a reasonable
increase in salary: and ma 1or league club
that does not conform to this custom is
not deserving Of much recognition at the
hands of the commission. In my Judgment
the player was forced into his position by
the action of the Brooklyn club.
"As already stated, the application Of
the player win be granted, and as rule SO
does not make 1t mandatory upon the
chairman to impose q fine. under the cir
cumstances none will be inflicted. The
sale of the player from Brooklyn to Min
neapolis and from the latter club to De-
troit will be approved. The Brooklyn club
will be required to pay the New Orleans
club the balance of the draft money due
them for the player.

TIES WITH GERMANY
EMPERoR'S GOVERNMENT LIKES
RECIPROCITY.

A cabIegram from Berlin last night says:
The American Association of Commerce
and Trade in Berlin gave at the Hotel
Kaiserhof tonight a farewell dinner to
Frank H. Mason. the retiring American
consul general here who is to succeed John
X. Gowdy as consul general at Paris.
Privy Councillor Goldberger. who is one
Of the close advisers of the German gov
eminent on commercial subjects and the
author of book on the United States en-
titled 1.-THE Land Of Unlimited Possibili-
ties" insisted that the United States and
Germany belonged together economically
each experimenting the other. This dis
missed the idea of any militant customs
policy, which, he said, could only please
the commercial rivals of both countries.
He admitted that the majority of the
American people desire to maintain the
high protective tariff and are opposed 10
commercial treaties with unconditional
most-favored nation treatment for long pc
RODS. Germany, on the other hand, as
consequence of its present commercial pol
ley. must terminate its existing agreement
with the United States. Otherwise it would
be quitting the paths of its commercial pol
icy as already constitutionally determined
on and would be acting contrary to the
spirit IL not the text Of the treaties already
concluded with seven European countries.
These, the speaker said, were economic
facts which must be understood and which
could be dealt with without acrimony.
Herr Goldberger pleaded for reciprocity
treaty In the sense Of President McKinley's
last political utterance, but said that SO
far as possible equivalent advantages must
be given. He urged fair play in executing
and administering whatever arrangements
might be made, and added that he hoped
the forthcoming negotiations for treaty
would bridge over all economic differences
between the two great nations.
Ambassador Tower said In part:
THE present time is most favorable for
the purpose of commercial intercourse, be-
cause there Is very strong interest felt in
Germany in the affairs of the United States.
1t is growing and friendly interest. con-
stantly tending toward sympathy with the
United States and to good understanding
The relations OF the two countries have
never been as good as now.

Post Office Boys Had Easy Time With
Commerce Team.

Post Office won out easily in the last
inning Of play in their game on the west
diamond against the Commerce and Labor
boys. after playing what promised to be
an extremely close game up until that
time. Score: Post Office, Z; Commerce and
Labor. 1.
Both pitchers were in fine form and runs
were conspicuously absent during the
carly stages Of the game. Commerce and
Labor started 1t with one in the first in
ming. but could do nothing after that hang
Ing up goose-eggs all the rest of the way.
Post Office got this one back in the third
and made 1t one to the good In the sixth,
Not being satisfied with this small figure,
they started a grand batting rally in the
eighth. scoring five runs before a man was
retired. Then Umpire Belts called the
game.
Pennington did well with the stick, get
ting three of the seven hits credited to his
side. Torney also did well for Commerce
and Labor considering the small total of
four hits made of Clark. He got two of
them.

NOT TO MEET ON
GRIDIRON AGAIN


HARTFORD. Conn. September 10.-For
the nrst time In nearly q score OF years
Trinity and Wesleyan Will not meet In
foot ball this fail. The game scheduled
for November Is has been cancelled by the
Methodist college and Trinity win make
no effort to arrange for a midweek game
Instead. Trinity will play West Point at
West Point, and Wesleyan probably will
Rave contest with Susquehanna College.
The reason for tho cancellation OF The
game is alleged by the Wesleyan manage
ment to be the fact that Trinity has not
as yet drafted an athletic constitution deal
ing with the eiigfbiiity-rule question in a
manner satisfactory to them.
The athletic disagreement between the
two colleges dates back to the discovery by
Wesleyan that several Lehigh men were
participa ting in Trinity athletics because
the latter college did not have a one-yeaI
eligibility rule.
