to Appear-Farren Denies Blacklist.

Cincinnati, Jan. 6.-The national com
mission Of baseball held its annual meet
ing here to-day.
The principal interest centered in the
expected efforts Of the American Asso-
citation and Eastern League to be placed
in a class by themselves. and to limit the
major leagues to drafting players only
from them and from no lower leagues
and in the effort Of President JOSEPH
O'Brien, of the American Association, tC
secure Endorsement of the national com
mission 10 the National and American
leagues to have his league place a team
in Chicago
None Of the five men appointed to pre-
sent the claims OF the Eastern League
and American Association for a reclassif
cation and draft limit appeared, so tina
the matter went by default. Mr.. O'Brien''
resolution regarding an entrance int
Chicago by the American Association wa.
taken under adyisement by the nationa
commission. with a promise that It prob
ably would be decided at some latei
time.
Makes Mild Request.
President O'Brlen said in presenting the
request for admission TO Chicago thai
those making the request understood fully
that the commission had no power in th'
matter except what the two majol
leagues might delegate 10 it.
He said that ;he location at which
was sought 20 establish the club in Chi
eago. North Side, north Of Chicago ave
nue.. would prevent the club from beinl
competitor for the patronage with tn
National and American League clubs
He simply was deslrous of having tn
opinion of the national commission. whicl
was the highest authority In baseball
on the project.
PHIIiam Is Mistaken.
President Pulliam severely arraigne,
the National Association Of Minor Leagu
Clubs for it's alleged slap at the nationa
| commission in blacklisting players Win
had been declared eligible by the nationa
commission, declaring such action TO b
disc0urteous. unbusinesslike, and dishoH
oTable only to be informed by SecretaT
| Farrell, Of the National Association. tina
he had a horrible nightmare and tina
such action had never been taken, an'
| that reports to that effect had not beel
authorized
The cases OF Campbell. DeininEeI
Wiltze. and other players recently rein
stated by the national commission wer
| discussed by Chairman Hermann, an
apparently satisfactory reasons give
why such action had taken place.
At the morning session Of the commits
sion the annual reports OF Chairman
Hermann and Secretary Bruce wer
read. Both gentlemen were reelected 70
another year. Several minor cases ais
we're disposed Of.

HALF GALLON OF WHISKEY.
Given to Great Burlington Man on
 Physicians Prescription.

Given to Great Burlington Man on
 Physicians Prescription.
 The Pittsfield Eagle says: The methods pursued by physicians of Great Barring ton in giving prescriptions for liquor while the town is under a no-license re- gime may be. thrashed out in the dis trict court following an arrest. William Hayes, an old man was arrested at Great Harrington by Officer Oschman, the charge being illeged liquor selling. It is alleged in the complaint that the sale of half pint of liquor was made to Philip Havnor.
 The officer placed the facts before Henry L. Wilcox. clerk of the district court, and the arrest of Hayes followed. Hayes claimed to have purchased the liquor on prescription at the Allen drug store. Clerk Wilcox then started per ,sonal investigation. He states that he found on August 4th Hayes purchased a half gallon of whiskey at the Allen drug store on prescription alleged to have DNhh olBhOo pJ |t. W. Clerks at the Allen store claim that Hayes after making the purchase asked to have the liquor left there and since then at times he has called at the store and taken quantities of the liquor with him, generally one-half pint at time.
 Mir. Wilcox says that when he went to the Allen store the clerks at first re- fused to permit him to look over the Ii. quor sale book and allowed him to pro- ceed only when he threatened to bring about their arrest.
 James Kennaney also of Great Bar rIngton was arrested Wednesday after noon for drunkenness. In court he plead guilty and was fined $15 which he has arranged to pay. He told Judge Sanford that he obtained his liquor at one of the local drug stores on a pre- scription received from Dr. Hugo Shultis The court ordered Officer Oschmhn to notify the physician to come into court. In passing sentence Judge Sanford remarked that any physi- clan who would give Kennarney pre- scription for liquor ought to be in the same position in the court that Ken narney was.
