Drives for the Cage


 Pawtucket fell an easy victim at their first appearance in this city. Bones aggregation worked together splendidly and to this is due their to 1 victory It was the locals sixth straight home game victory.
 The visitors were slightly handicap ped in that Cunningham, the usually whirlwind rush, was disabled by bad ly injured ankle, caused by a blow from Jeans stick in the game with New Britain Wednesday evening. Saunders is out for rush and might make it had not Bone too many good men for that position already. Last evening our stonewall halfback rushed the whole length of the7rink and passed the ball to Mccarthy who caged pretty goal Saunders, apparently knowing Mccarthy would cage the ball, continued down the rink and waited for Rorty to fish the ball out Eof the netting.
 George Bono once in looking up into the press stand last evening saw a strange face. On closer examination he recognized the person in the long lost official timer. T didn't know you at first" George remarked.
 Saunders and Cunningham offered a two-round vaudeville f1stic exhibition to the crowded hall during the first period of last evenings game. They tugged at each other during these two stages of the game apparently caress- ing each other with a now and then little love tap. Neither would suffer the other to be hit hard, but instead carefully untangled themselves from each others loving embrace. l New Haven is the guest of Pawtuek- ct tonight, and of Providence satur- day evening. Here's hoping the locals win both.

 The first state league game in this city will be played Saturday night at the Quinnipiac rink.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
 MEETING ENDS Charles Somers, of Cleveland, is Again Chosen Vice
 President. TOWERING UP" PLAYERS New Rule Restricting Holding Men for Clubs Outside
 the League.
TOWERING UP" PLAYER

Chicago, Dec. 12.-The annual meet ing of the American League of Pro- fessional Baseball clubs came to an end to-day after the usual elections and appointments. The club owners wound up the routine business and passed a new rule, which, it Is thought, will tend to end the practice of covering up' players for clubs outside the or ganization.
 Because President Johnsons term of office does not expire until 1910, and because most of the other positions are appolntive, the election concerned only Charles somers, of Cleveland, who was again chosen vice president of the league. The board of directors will consist of representatives of the Chi ca, Cleveland, New York and Boston clubs The leagues representatives on the joint committee with the Ma tional league are:
 Schedule President B. B. Johnson, R. I, Hedges, St. Louis; John I. Fay Tor, Boston.
 Rules-c. A. comiskey, Chicago; Connie Mack, Philadelphia; Clark Griffith, New York
 The new rule regarding transfers of players restricts the practice of se- curing a player by refusing waiver on him and then immediately turning him over to club outside the league. It provides that if a club which obtains title to a player by refusing to waive claims to him shall, within thirsy days, ask for waivers on him, he shall revert to the club which originally owned him, upon return of the $1,500, and the club to which he reverts shall for ten days have the privilege of disposing of him to any club outside of thefleague without further requests for waivers. i It is provided that if more than one l club had refused to waive in the first | instance all such clubs except the one returning him shall have the right to refuse to waive the second time. II is further provided that no change in the salary of such player shall take place for thirty days ana that advan- tage cannot be taken of this new rule until the player has been placed In regular service by the club securing him originally by means of the waiver l provision
 Before the club owners separated trades were concluded by which De-
 troit obtained Ira Thomas. catcher
 from New York, and St. Louis pur-
 chased the contract of Arthur Brown a first baseman who played last veal With Montreal.

TO PLAY TWO
 EXTRA GAMES National League Decides on Nine for Worlds Cham
 pionship Series. PULLIAM MORE POWERFUL To Have Almost Absolute Pow CT in Matter of Discipline
 of Players.
.PULLIAM MORE POWERFUL

New York, Dec 12.-Owing to the im- possibility of finishing all business on hand to-day, the national baseball league meeting was adjourned until tomorrow, when, 1t is hoped, by hold in a hold session, all outstandin mat ters will be cleared up and a final ad- 1aurnment taken.
 A resolution by George Dovey, of Boston, was adopted providing that at the spring meetings of the major leagues a conference be held with a view of discussing the advisability of legislation for the regulation of reserve lists No agreement could be reached on MT. Dovey's proposal to restrict the number of players to be carried by clubs on tour
 On motion of MT. Murphy, of the the national league to be considered later by both major leagues, providing that hereafter the post-season series for the worlds championship shall con- sist of nine games instead of seven, and that the players shall share in the receipts of five of the games instead of in four, was adopted.
 It was voted also to amend the con- stitution so as to give the president of the league absolute power in the matter of discipline so far as it refers | to players, except in the matter of expulsion, which Is to be brought be- | fore the directors. There was a long debate before the resolution was adopted.
 1 The day closed without deal ir players being recorded.
 1 One rumor that seemed to have ba. sis in fact was that Ned Hanlon once manager of the Brooklyns, and later with Cincinnati, would retire al together from baseball His retiTemen' from the Cincinnati management Is said to be certain and President Gar, "" Hermann is hunting for some one to take his place There are candi. dates enough for the post, but Herr man t is declared, deems convention l time al poor one for exchanges. Tht l report is that Hermann rather favor! l George stallings, formerly manager O l the Detroit Americans and last yea l with the BuffaIn, N. Y team of thu
 Eastern league Tt is not thought thu ] deal will go through, however, Billy
 Clymer. of the Columbus O., AaaericaI association team, who is here, is men
 toned in connection with the Cincin, l nati's managements
 Baseball sharps seem to feel that 0r the disposition of the services of Fred Penney, former manager of thA Bos- tons, the transfer of the services oi several other players hinges. Penney it is said, can be used in New York
 and an attempt is to be made to bring him here. Boston needs a good sea soned catcher and would like to sign Bresnahan from the New Yorks Ar
 even trade for Penney, the latter tc
 take the place of Dan MeGann, New
 York's first baseman, would suit Bos-
 ton, and 1t would also be willing tc
 let Penney go for Browne and Nc Gam of New Works. But while prop
 ositions have been made by both sides
 nothing has been settled
 Herman, It Is said, Is willing to lei
 Lobert and schlei go to New York fol Bresnahan, but 1t is believed this can, not be consummated.

CoIIege Sports.

While Chicago dropped the game against the Indians with the hope Of getting a game with Yale among oth- CT reasons, it is improbable that the Maroons will ever be seen in New Ha- ven. Yales two hard games against Harvard and Princeton are sufficient for one season, and that such time honored opponents of the Blue should be dropped from the schedule is almost impossible.
