Also Fines Philadelphia Club for
Permitting Men to Play
with Jersey City.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 3.-The Natlona'
Baseball Commission, in session yes
terday. made two important rulings
The first was the case Of Players
Grant and Doolin. of the Philadelphia
National League Club, who played
with the Jersey City club in an exhibit
ton game in Jersey City during this
season, and fined the Philadelphia club
500 for allowing these players to take
part in the game.
1t appears that the players played
with Jersey City with the consent OF
their club, and as the club assumed all
responsibility the players themselves
were not penalized, but a fine was inn
posed on the club management.
The other was on the rule regarding
waivers by major league clubs for
purchased minor league players. Here
after the rule will read as follows:
"In order to avoid friction i'm the
operation of rule So, no waivers shall
be asked by any major league club for
purchased minor league players prior
to February 1 Of the year following
