CINCINNATI, September st was an
nounced by the national base ball COM

at the meeting of the commission in this
city Tuesday. The rule, which is num-
bered 3d. was amended by striking out
the words and has played at least ten
games with such club" at the end Of
the first sentence of said rule. Here
after the rule will read as follows:
In order to avoid friction in the op-
Grafton of rule 3o no waivers shall be

chased minor league players previous to

chased is for immediate use and joins the

tract for at least ten days and partici-
pated in at least one game with such

er the president of the league containing
such club shall Immediately notify by
wire the president of the opposite league

poste league shall be required within
three days or seventytWO hours to either
waive claim TO such player or negotiate

GIANTS WILL CLEAR
100000 THIS YEAR

BOSTON, Mass, September 3.-Manager
John McGraw is authority for the state
ment that the New York National League
Base Ball Club will clear 100000 this sea-
son. McGraw bases his calculations on
the gate receipts already received and on
the big crowds that are sure to witness
the games at the Polo Grounds during the
teams stretch Of twenty-five home games,
beginning September 8.
While the exact figures have not been
made public, 1t is known that the receipts
of the PittsburgNew York series, from
July ~ to IS, in New York. were up to
that time the largest ever taken in for
series of base ball games. The gate
ceipts for 1.-The Gfants-Pittsburgs games
were exceeded by the contributions of the
fans when the Giants met the Chicago
Cubs in the series of August I to II.
The additional grandstand accOmmoda-
tons now being erected at the Polo
Grounds will bring the seating capacity
up to 25,0OO. Hence the calculations that
the profits of the Giants during the excit-
ing games to come. that will decide the
National League championship, will reach
the tremendous sum named.
