LEAGUES TO
BAR OUTLAWS.

CHICAGO, January 1.-In the minor
base ball leagues meeting yesterday the
chief change made In the constitution was
provision for action to be taken against
players who may jump their contracts.
The power of the executive board to rein
state such players was removed, and here
after player who jumps to an outlaw
club will be blacklisted permanently by his
act 1t was decided to leave the fixing of O.
maximum salary limit to each league. Once
fixed, however. that limit must be submit
ted to Secretary Farwell, who must ap-
prove all contracts and is empowered to
infict fine of 500 for violations of the
limit
Other amendments aim to minimize the
farming out of players and covering the
fake sales. Hereafter all drafted players
must be paid for in full at the time of Sc
lection. This applies~~to drafts from one
minor league to another of higher class
Leagues of one class are also restricted
from drafting more than two players from
a league below them. -

SPLENDID ENDORSEMENT.

Patrick Powers who was recently COM
PEELED to withdraw from the presidency of
the Eastern Base Ball League, of which he
was the organizer, has scored signal tri-
umph over his enemies among the smaller
leagues including Howard c. Griffiths and
George Tebeau by having himself reelected
president of the National Association of
Minor Leagues, which has just concluded
its annual meeting in Chicago. Out of
twenty-six leagues. eighteen We're repre-
scented at the Windy City, and Powers re-
ceived all but three votes. Grlffiths. repre-
senting the Eastern League. and Tebeau of
the American Association voting against
him. But this was not. the only triumph
scored by Powers. for in the election of
new national board of arbitration Griffiths

the result of long quarrel and may
cause further friction, as the Eastern
League and the American Associa ton some
time ago threatened to withdraw from the
association unless Powers was turned down.
1t is up to these base ball kickers now to
make good or subsde, badly beaten in the
game of politics, The fact that Powers was
backed up by practically all the minor
leagues in the country, after his unfair
treatment by the Eastern League sChcmers
was proof positive that he has lost nothing
Of the popularity that he has enjoyed among
leading base ball men for many years.

PHILADELPHIA.

A ruling of Judge Audenried who Is pre-
siding at the trial Of former Chief John W.
Hill of the filtration plant, charged with
forgery and classifying records in Philadel-
phia yesterday, to the effect that no evil
dence OF a forgery has been presented is re-
garded as a serious blow to the prosecu-
ton.
When court opened Mr.. Hill was again
called to the stand to testify In his own be-
half. During his cross-examination Dis
trict Attorney Bell asked the defendant to
explain to the jury the meaning of the
water-tightness of the filter conduit Mr.
Graham, counsel for Hill. objected to the
question He contended that Mr.. Hill was
one of a group of engineers Who had pre-
pared the plans for the filter plant and was
not In a position to testify the point
brought up by the district attorney.
Judge Audepried sustained Mr.. Graham's
objection, stating that up to the present
time the prosecution had produced no testi-
mony to sustain the charge of forgery. The
district attorney said that that was a ques-
ton for the jury to decide. The court de-
clared that the jury was to decide only
questions of evidence and as there has been
no evidence of forgery against Mr.. Hill the
objection was sustained. The forgery In
