great depths and the amount of ore on
the dumps alone would insure prosperity
for years to come. In addition to this

BLACKLIST FOR
BALL PLAYERS

The national base ball commission has de-
cided that players who willfully break their
agreements with clubs that enter into con-
tracts with them In good faith shall be per-
manently blacklisted. The following amend
ed rule was adopted:
Rule 36-Whenever any player belonging
to any national agreement club jumps his
contract, and the same comes to the
knowledge of the national commission the
name of such player shall be forever ineli-
gible to play with any club operating under
the provisions of the national agreement;
fails to report to or leaves a major league
club having claim to his services under res
ervation. draft or purchase, and the same
has come to the knowledge of the commits
sion. the player cannot again become a ma
tional agreement player unless such player
shall have first applied to the commission
for reinstatement, and in such cases the
chairman of the commission shall have the
right to impose proper fines upon such
players before such reinstatement
Nor will any national agreement club be
permitted to dispose of the services of any
player to another club unless such player
is at the time OF the transaction in the
service Of the club desiring to dispose of
the same.
And provided further, that this rule
shall not become operative until ten days
after its publicat ton. In the interim any
players having heretofore jumped contracts
with national agreement clubs shall be per-
mitted to return to the clubs having con-
tracts with them

one-hand catch that he made in left field.
He pulled Futz's fly out of nowhere and
made double play with 1t. Don't want to
make any invidious comparisons, but it was
about the slfckest piece of its kind that ever
was pulled off at short field in American
League Park, and Elberfeld has made quite
few In his time at that.-New York Tele-
gram.
A London paper says: In itself base ball
is a really fine game. but there is no con-
science in 1t. The fielding side is allowed
to yell at the man with the club in order
to rattle or put him off his swipe, the spec
tators have the right to make a diapolicaI
din for the same reason, and the unfortu-
nate umpire who gives a decision against
the fielding side is lost in circle of yelling,
geSticulating forms clad like acrobatS." The
criticism is well taken. Nothing can be
more unsportsmanlke than any attempt to
rattle the opposing side. Time was when
Boston would not stand for that sort of
thing, but now it is getting to be the usual
thing, and those who resort to the practice
seem to glory in it.-Boston Herald.

The metropolitan police base ball team

fact each member of the police team took
his turn at the bat and all the time the
score was being merrily piled up, and when
the third man was out II scores had been
made. The traction boys seemed to be dis
couraged after the batting rally in the

effort to retrieve the game and managed to
get four more runs. making total of
