PRESIDENT PULLIAM
is REELECTED

NEW YORK, December HILARY c.
Pulliam was elected president of the Ma
| tional League of Base Ball Clubs for the
sixth year in succession at the second ses-
sion Of the annual meeting of the league
at the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday. He got
seven of the eight votes cast, the other
going to Frank de Haas Robson. John
Heydler was reelected secretary and
| treasurer, as was the old board of di-
rectors, consisting Of Barney Dreyfuss,
Pittsburg; Charles Ebbets. Brooklyn;
Garry Hermann, Cincinnati; Charles
| Murphy, Chicago, and George Dewey, Bos-
| ton.
Some routine business was transacted
and an informal discussion was held on
| the proposed amendments to the rules,
which must go in the form OF a recon-
mendation to the rules committee of both
leagues when it meets in February. The
members of this committee from the Ma
tional League were not named yesterday.
In his connection Max Fleischnfan of
Cincinnati recommended strongly that the
| pitchers box be on level with the dia-
discussion at this time. Another sugges-
| ton, which aroused more than usual inter-
est and discussion, was that three, and not
| four, pitched balls should constitute
base on balls.
The rules of the national commission in
reference to purchased and drafted pay
ers were another source of argument, and
| a recommendation to the national COM
mission was adopted that players drafted
| from the minor leagues be treated the
same as purchased players. Waivers,
then, will have to be sought from both the
American and National leagues for men
SO drafted. In technical terms the use
fulness of the new move is described as a
step toward preventing covering by
draft" and Is in the nature of reform.
The meeting was adjourned until 2
o'clock this afternoon at the same place.
There was more interest outside the
meeting, as the managers Of most of the
teams were on hand to work I'D deals.
Joe Kelley, manager Of the Toronto club,

felt that he was entitled to longer ten

any other player, regarding him as a
good asset. He would like to obtain a
good seasoned catcher, it Is said, and II
an offer on this basis. value for value, is
made Tenney may be traded from the
Boston ranks.
There were plenty of deals in the air,
but the reply to all queries was, Nothing
definite: nothing settled"
