Few Trade. LIIxely.

No trades OF any kind have been an

a number of switches just at the close Of

was at first thought.
Washington is on deck, and Cantillon

clever batters in line last fsll-t6o late TO
help his team out of the eight-rOw, but
good enough TO insure lots of excitement
for next spring. Cantillon, in fact. is
actually better fixed for real hirters than
any OF fhe other teams right now. Kay,
Milan. Ganley. and Clymer are good hit
ters, and one Of them may be used to bring
Joe another good pitcher.

Another Trade Proposed.

The New York and Cincinnati clubs
also had a trade on with Lobert and
Schlei at the Cincinnati end and Rresna-
han at the New York end. The Philadel
phia club offered cash and the choice of
two of fourteen players for Tenney, and
altogether the deal outlook seemed TO be
in complicated condition.

from Fred Clark tomorrow telling him

deals for players by the way, is not an
easy task when everybody is looking for
advantage. While those who have serv-
iceable players TO trade are willing to do
business, they are naturally suspicious of
their neighbors because of the many
lemons that have been handed around in
the past Dickering for players nowadays
is worse than horse trading at a county
fair.

New York, Dec. u.-Three hours were
spent by the National League baseball
people In business discussion at the Wal
dorf this afternoon, and more than three
hours at banquet in the evening.
Magnates, managers. players: in fact.
those identified with baseball in pretty
much every capacity were present at
the banquet, the host of which was
Charles Murphy. president of the World
Champion Chicago Cubs The star guest
OF the evening was Hans Wagner. the
champion hitter, who was lured on to the
banquet by false pretenses. In recog-
milton of his batting ability. a big silver
Ioving-cup was given to Wagner by the
National League. II was inscribed with
the years in which he has led the league
In batting-l902, 1903, 1904 1906. and 1907.
Wagner did not know anything about
the honor in store for him. else he would
have ducked the whole occasion. and il
was the biggest surprise that his bashful
nature ever encountered when the presen
tation took place. Another distinguished
guest was Johnny Evers Speeches were
made by President PuIliam, Murphy.
Frank Richter. J. H. Farrell. and others.
Mike Regan sang verse, as follows.
dedicated TO Murphy:
It's grand old hag.

Hats of. say We
To Charlie Murphee
And hurrah for the dear old Cubs
As Regan's voice rang out horses on
the street below came to a stop. and il is
said Caruso took to the woods.
The first thing done at the meeting IN
the afternoon was the consideration OF
amendments TO the constitution. which
went over until tomorrow. Two changes
IN the playing rules were discussed-one
TO make all pitchers boxes on 4 level
with the diamond. the other that batter
shall take first base on three balls in
stead OF four. No action Will be taken on
tnese points until next spring. when they
VIII come up for action by the two big
leagues II recommended by the Joint rules
committee. The reduction in the number
OF balls. Of course. would result in more
action on the bases and more scoring
and certainly would not Increase the from
bic Of batters.
When it came to the election Of officers
1t developed that the New York club stT
was opposed 60 Pulliam. An oral vote
FOUND seven clubs in favor OF Pulliau
and one opposed Eight clubs voted for

The Odd board Of directors was elected
preyfuss, Of Pittsburg. Hermann OF
Cincinnati; Ebbetts. OF BROOKLYN. Dovev
OF Boston. and Murphy. of Chicago.
Ihe rules of the national commission
governing drafted and purchased players
were discussed. A resolution was adopt
ed TO recommend 10 the national commits
sion that hereafter players drafted from,
the minor leagues be treated the same
as purchased players; that Is. that waiv-
ers must be obtained from all of the
Dig league clubs before sucn players can
be sent back to the minors. The object
OF this move is to prevent covering up by
drafts.
