CINCINNATI, o., Sept. 1.-Afte having
made the heaviest drafting upon the minor
leagues that have been made within the
history of organized base ball, the Ma
tional Base Ball commission tonight pro-
mulgated a list OF the draftings made by
the major leagues and adjourned with
harmony prevailing among the leaders Of
the national game.
There were several spirited contests in
the meeting during the day and early even
ing but none of them developed any real
bitterness.
The principal light Of the day was in the
case of Pitcher Vaughn, formerly Of Ma
con, now with the Louisville American
association team and recently awarded to
the Cincinnati Nationals over the protest
of the New York Americans,
The national body, by unanimous vote,
today agreed to reopen the case to hear
the claims Of the New York Americans for
the services of Vaughn, and after the evil
dence had been heard Vaughn vas awarded
to the New York club, with the under
standing that he is to remain with Louis
Vile during the remainder OF the present
season.
The Macon club Is to return to Louis
Vile $500 paid for Vaughn and Louisville
is to return to Cincinnati a like sum paid
by the local National league team in the
deal, which is declared invalid.
In the case of Player F~indlayson of
Brockton, Mass, for whose purchase an
agreement was presented by Brooklyn, the
player was held subject to draft.
Case of OImstead.
The commission took action upon a mo-
ton by President Heydler and refused to
make Rule 81 retroactive. This referred
to the case of Player Olmstead of Minne-
apolis, and Olmstead is notified to report
to the Chicago Americans within forty
eight hours. In case of failure to do so
the Chicago club is to have the sole right
to draft him.
In the case of the disputed claims of the
Cleveland Americans and Chicago Nation
ais upon the services Of Player Luderis OF
Freeport, ILL.,, the player is awarded to the
Chicago club.
The statement of President Dreyfus of
