1t was voted to submit the change to the
American League. Later came the news
that the Americans had voted down the
proposition at their Chicago meeting.
On motion of President Dewey of the
Boston club, there will be a conference
between the National and American
leagues at their spring meetings with a
view to the advisability of regulating the
reserve lists of the respective leagues
Doveys idea is that no club should carry
more than the eighteen players. He points
to the fact that neither the Chicago Cubs
nor the Detroit Tigers carried more than
eighteen players. The league adjourned
until o'clock this afternoon when the
magnates will take up the double-header
question.
While there was much talk in the lob
bles of possible deals, nothing was done.
John McGraw and the Cincinnati officials
were in conference for an hour. but the
Cincinnati men would not accept Nc
Graws offer to trade Roger Bresnahan.
Bill Dahlen and George Browne for
George Schlei and Hans Lobert- One
reason Cincinnati will not take Bresnahan
is that President Garry Hermann has de-
cided to make John CAMEL manager of
the Reds next season.
Since Joe Kelley has signed to manage
the Boston club for TWO years Fred Ten
ney is in the market for a trade or a
sale. 1t is more than likely he will sue
coed Dan McGann as the Giants first
ba seman next year. 1t is known that
i>elley would like to have Mccain and
McGraw wants Tenney. The two man
ayers will meet today to talk the matter
over.
PittsburS offered Catcher Phelps for
Tenney, but the offer was refused.
The ball players who are attending the
session held an impromptu meeting in
Peacock alley. They gave their opinions
of the new section of the constitution
which. they claim, places them in the
absolute power of the league president
Without the privilege of appeal. 1t was
suggested that test case be made in the
courts next summer, if a player thinks he
has been unjustly treated.

Jockey Club. AT a meeting of the stew

thorized to write to all associations rae
ing under the jurisdiction of the Jockey
Club requesting them to refuse all further
entries of c. Z. Durnell and of any horses
in which he may own an interest.
This practically amounts to ruling him
off the turf. and the action came as a
thunderbolt out of a clear sky. With their
usual reticence, the stewards did not
make any explanation of their ruling. but
In all probability they were not satisfied
with his methods and the performances of
some of his horses.

NEW YORK. December 13.-For four
hours the National League magnates were

toria. During that time they passed an
amendment TO their constitution and one
resolution.

man resolution. to preserve order on the
ball field, was made section of the con-
stitution after long debate, in which
President John I. Brush of the New York
club stood alone in opposition to the
measure. The rule gives the president OF
the league absolute power to fine and sus-
pend players. He can infiict any penalty
short of expulsion. Only the board of di-
rectors has power TO expel a player. The
vote on the passage of the amendment
was to l in favor, the New York club
casting the minority vote.
