Abuse of Waiver CIause.

The afternoon session was taken UP en-
tirely with "A discussion Of the abuse Of
the waiver clause. Each magnate had his
pet version of what should be done. II
was finally agreed that President John
son should draw W a resolution that
would make for a just revision Of the
present conditions. The following is the
result.
If club that obtains title to "A player
by refusing TO waive claim 10 him shall
ask for a waiver on him within thirty
days after Il secured title to him. he shall
revert 70 the club which originally owned
him, upon the return OF the Sl.500, and
the club TO which he reverts SHALL for the
period OF ten days have the privilege of
diSpOsing 10 any club out Of the league,
without further requests for waivers,
providing, however, that If more than one
club has refused TO waive in the first in
stance. all such clubs which refused 10
waive. except the one returning him. as
provided. shall have the right to refuse
to waive
Further provision is made that there
shall be no change in the players salary
for thirty days. 1t is further provided
that advantage cannot be taken Of this
rule until the player has been placed in
regular service by the club securing him
originally by means Of the waiver pro-
visions
The resolution, as explained by Presi-
dent Johnson tonight, is to do away with
"jockeying" with the waiver clause.

Pickering a Vet.

Pickering is veteran. He played in
the National League when the organi-
zation included Washington in its cir
cult. After several seasons he drifted
back into the minors. but was picked
UP by the Browns. and has done good
work with the stick since his return
into major league company. Last year
he PLAYED in I51 games and hit .276.
His fielding average was .949. He stood
twenty-hfth among the batters Of the
American League.
The American League concluded its
business to-day and adjourned Although
to-day's session WAS scheduled 10 meet
at 10 O'Clock. IL was nearly ] o'clock
before President Johnson could gather q
sufficient number OF the magnates TO be
gin session.
The first proposition considered was
that OF the nine game worlds champion
ship series. At the afternoon session Of
the previous day some OF the magaate5
had decided that It would be well 10 in
crease the number OF games from seven
TO nine The wise ueads got To thinking
about this and decided that a nine-same
schedule would cause many complications.
Should the series fall between the East
and West. for instance. IL would be neces-
sary for one o. the clubs to make two
trips while the other would make but
one. The question OF uncertain weather
also Influenced the magnates. and IL was
decided 10 let well enough alone.
The board OF directors for the coming
year will be composed OF Representatives
Of the Chicago. Cleveland, New York.
and Boston clubs Charles H Connors.
Of Cleveland was reelected as vice pres
ideut. President Johnson also announced
the schedule and rules committees. The
rules committee is composed Of Charles
A. COmiskey. Chicago, Clark Griffith, New
York, and Connie Mack. Philadelphia
The schedule committee consists OF Pres
ideut b. B. Johnson John T. Taylor,
Boston. and Robert Hedges. St Louis

have several busy sessions during the
winter, and will have many interesting
changes 10 report at the spring meeting.
The Washington herald., 1907-12-13

The pop-bottle resolution was passed
over TO the spring meeting. it is ex-
pected that the joint rules committee
will take up this matter and submit a
uniform regulation at the next session
of the league.
The proposition to regulate the use Of
youngsters in the last few games OF the
championship series was also passed over
to the spring meeting. This is one Of
President Johnsons pet hobbies. but
many Of the club owners declared that
il would be difficult to draw the line as
10 just when club could use a young
player or how many he could put IN the
lineup. This will also be one Of the
Iabers of the rules committee.

interspersed by little cOnfabs between

trades FOR players.

SOMETIMES we hear expressions Of
establishment regarding the great la
terest that is being manifested all
over the United States in the game Of
base ball. This Is truly 1.-The great
American game" 1t is popular be-
Cause especially in villages and small
towns and cities-it fills q ''long.felt
want" Before its advent there was
very little summer amusement in
small places. The average town or
village is too small for regular theat-
ricals, and ''bum' show once In
a while is about all there is besides
base ball. 1t is not strange, then, that
practically everybody in villages and
the country adjacent thereto is inter-
ested in the game and anxious to be
present when there is a likelihood Of
good playing being witnessed. Besides,
while 1t is exciting, 1t is a game that
with reasonable care possesses few ele.
ments OF danger. For nearly half a
interest in base ball has been
growing year by year, until almost ev-
cry village has club that can do very
creditable work.

Flowers That Change Color.

There are many flowers that change
color" said the old gardener. There
is the mutabue phlox, for instance.
At sunrise 1t Is blue, and In the after.
noon It Is pink. Then there is hibiscus
hibiscus mutabilis. 1t goes through
three changes in the day, from white
in the morning to rose at noon and to
red at sunset. Likewise the lantana.
The lantana is yellow one day, orange
the next and red the third. Its
changes are slow. There are other
flowers, too, that change. There's the
chieranthus chameleo, that shifts from
white to yellow and from yellow to
red. There's the gladiolus versicolor.
that's brown In the morning and blue
in the evening. There's the colaea
scandens, that moves slowly from
greenish white to deep yiolet."-New

Last Tuesday morning, about $50

from loss Of blood.

ternoon from weeks absence at the
Pollock base ball tournament. He re-
tired about $40 that night, apparent
ly in his normal frame of mind. No
outcry during the night was heard by

laid on the bed and deliberately stuck
and hacked away until he lost con-
sciousness through loss Of blood.
