new RULE COVERING
"FARMED" PLAYERS

CINCINNATI, Ohio. August 1a-The
national base ball commission has
adopted a new rule to cover what SO
failed to do. as it has been shown that
the old rule has been evaded. The rule,
81 is:
Whenever q major league club has
sold a player to a minor league club
with an option of repurchase. and such
option has been exercised by the major
league club selling the player. and the
same club then sells the same player q
second time on straight sale and then
repurchases the player, the purchased
player must report to the major league
club on or before the 23d Of
August. and If such player does not re-
port, then he will be subject to major
or minor league draft during the regu-
lar drafting season from the club with
which he is found playing"
AS an illustration. the Brooklyn club
last year sold Player Finleysop to the
Brockton club with an option to repur-
chase, which 1t exercised. Under the
rules this player could not be sold this
year by Brooklyn. the latter retaining
an option to repurchase. The records
show that this year he was sold out
right and again repurchased by Brook
lyn. In this case the player will have
to report August. c3 or be subject to
draft.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
POST-SEASON SERIES
OPENS UP TODAY

The teams Of Section A and Section b
will inaugurate the 1900 post-season series
this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The PEN
nant winning teams from the Capital City
and Marquette League will be the attrac-
tion at the American League Park. while
the teams Of Section B which carried of
the bunting in the Railroad Y. NJ. G.. A.
League and that OF the Independence
organization will battle at the Capital
City Park at 1st and NJ streets north
cast.
The contests of both sections give
promise of being the best amateur games
witnessed in the District for a long time
and intense interest is being displayed by
the large gathering of local fans who are
loyal supporters OF these organizations.
At meeting of the amateur base ball
commission last evening BILLY" Belts,
the umpire who rendered decisions in the
Departmental League this season, was
chosen to do the work in the present Sc
ries In place of Mr.. Setley Of the Capital
City League. Belts and Jimmie Hughes.
the latter of the Sunday School League,
will be the arbitrators In the post-season
series.
When the schedule was brought up and
adopted last week there was a double bill
scheduled for today, but at the meeting
of the commission last evening the sched-
ule was revised. and the second game
which was to take place this afternoon in
which the representatives of the Sunday
School League were to participate was
thrown over until Monday. as the pennant
winning team of that organization will
not be decided until this afternoon. when
the Ninth and Bethany teams clash.
Agriculture Of the Departmental League
and Brentwood of the Capital City League
are picked by many to run one and two
in the series of Section A, but man of
high standing in the ranks of amateur
base ball predicted to the writer last
evening that the representative of the
Sunday School League, whether Bethany
or Ninth. would give the winners a hard
run and finish no lower than second
The batteries for today's game at
American League Park will be Balzer or
Kerr and Noyes for Brentwood, while
the Pension Office team will have Green
and Mace as its battery. Union Station
and Agriculture cross bats in Section B.
Thompson and Legge will be the star at
traction for the former team, and the
independence leaguers will work Fergu-
son or Hummer on the firing line, with
Souder or Venneman at the receiving end

COMMENT ON THE GAME.

The manager of losing ball team has
to stand for everything that transpires on
the diamond, but II seems as though a
stiff fine should have gone Blankenship's
way in the ninth inning for bunting the
hall instead of trying to land a safe hit.
Manager Cantillon sent Blank UP with
pacific instructions to hit the ball out,
but instead Cliff thought he was the wise
guy and laid 1t down, doubtless thinking
he could beat out the throw on account
OF his speed. Had Blank taken the trou-
bile to think the situation out, he would
have seen that Mcbride had been easy
for Plank all through the struggle and
that everything depended upon himself.
But Blank knew better than his manager
and the game went glimmering.
Bob Groom didn't come up to expecta-
tions yesterday. but at that he had the

CINCINNATI, August 19.-The national
base ball commission has decided that
Shortstop Blackburn of the Providence

cago Americans have been contending.
belongs to Chicago. The testimony In
the case brought out the fact that Presi-
dent Comiskey paid for Blackburn what
is said to be the highest price ever given
for minor league fielder
According to the decision of the COM
mission, the. Pittsburg club, after agree
ing to pay certain price for Blackburn,
besides turning a player over to the
Providence team at once, failed to send a
player to Providence and the latter club
felt it was relieved of this agreement.
The Chicago club paid $1,000 III money

change for him. thus fixing Blackburn $

Another sensational development
arose from the acute American
League championship fight yester-
day. The Athletics won from
Washington, retained their claim to
the leadership. and started west to
fight the enemy in their own terri
tory. Boston, which has been
playing remarkable ball even
more brilliantly than the Athletics
or Detroit-climaxed it's splendid
fight by twice defeating New York,
and thereby jumping into second
place 1t was the eleventh consee-
utive victory for the Boston Red
Sox.
Detroit lost again to- Chicago by
a margin SO small that it was de-
cided almost entirely on the merit
of the pitching. The defeat of the
champions and Boston's double
conquest forced the Tigers into
third place, the lowest position they
have occupied since the season set
tied into fight. But Detroits
third-place berth may be for only
a day. Boston's tenure of second
position Is only on margin of two
points. The Athletics position is
more secure. The Mack clan is
eleven points IN advance of Bos-
days results to topple 1t from

The scene of the fight shifts to-

Cleveland team the Athletics will
contend today. the first of four

u!ed in New York. Detroit will en-
tertain Chicago again today! The
