session that any message gets its best
hearing. The president will not get
the same attention from the public
later. and this Is important for it

Chance for HeydIer.
Heydler's stock took a sudden boom
this afternoon when it became known
the National league bylaws had receiv-
ed an important amendment Finding
themselves deadlOcked over the cleo
tion of president, the members yes
terday voted that in the event of a va
cancy in the presidency the directors
be empowered to name a president 10

have chance to elect.
Since three of the five directors are
Heydler men it is evident that if she

Criger Traded to Yankees.
The American Ieaguers yesterday
supplied the only real bit of news. The
st. Louis and New York clubs of that
circuit pulled off the long expected
deal by which Catcher Lou Criger gets
away from the enervating climate If
the Mississippi valley to the more brac-
ing air of the hilltop. He was traded
to the Highlanders for Pitcher Lake
and Outfielder Demmitt.
A rumor Of greater interest to rooter-
dom than all the politics in the world
was that assigning first claim on
Catcher John King to the New York
Giants. This report, which was given
all the earmarks Of reliability. Presi-
dent Murphy of the Cubs would neith-
er admit nor deny. He lodged and dal-
lied with all questions, and this atti-
tude, IN connection With president Fog
els selection of Catcher Doom to man
age the Phillies, indicates Philadelphia
practically has given up all hope cf
securing King.
