drawn up by ]. H. Farrell. secretary of
the National Association Of Minor

the California State League will be ad-
mitted to organised base ball.
Minor changes were made In the agree
ment to the effect that when a player now
in the league who IL claimed by another
club IL sold or drafted half the money
will go to the California State League
club holding him and the other half to
the club which had a claim on him pre-
circuit to the National Association. The
agreement also provides that il a player

club having claim on him can take him
over upon the payment Of one-half the

The report Of ]. II. Farrell. secretary.
shows that the minor league organization
is making rapid gains. The report showed
thirty-seven leagues now members of the
national association and 257 cities repre-
scented.
One of the most interesting sections of
Mr.. Farrell's report concerned the num-
Der of players drafted by major leagues
this year. The American League leads
with a total Of eighty-six players, drafted
from clubs of the national association
more than ten to a club. The National
League took seventy-seven minor league
stars into it's fold.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS


now going on as to who will pilot the
team on Saturday.
The graduate coaches consisted of Tom
Kirby, Tom Neil, Aston Cockrell and
Dugal Pallen. II is believed that TINS
number will be doubled this afternoon by
the addition of Charley O'Boyle. Doc
Owens. Allen Glennon and Murray Rus
sell. Percy Owens and Branch Bocock
will also join the squad before the emu
of the practice work.
Although there was no real dispute over
the matter. the managers of the Virginia
and Georgetown have decided to refer to
the central board for the appointment of
the officials. Notice to this effect was
sent to the main office of the committee
at Philadelphia yesterday and the APP
pointments are. expected to be made pub
lie today.
Betting on the result of the big battle
has begun i'm earnest At present the
odds are favoring Virginia, some bets
even having been laid at 2 to 1 on the
southerners. There is plenty of money
in sight on both sides. so that the wagers
will probably be the largest in years.

CHICAGO. November 1O-The Detroit
Tigers down in Havana Monday had an
experience with Spanish law that has
caused some Of the former members Of
the White Sox expedition to Mexico to
discuss the peculiarities of the Castilian
treatment of sporting events.
1t seems that in the third inning of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS game, with no run
ner on base. the umpire called a balk on
Willetts' pitching and sent the first Gu
ban up at bat to first base. They OBJ
jected to the umpires action and started
to leave the field.
The police were called on and the Tigers
were compelled to return to the diamond
and play out the game. in which they
were beaten 13 to 2. under threats Of
arrest.
Reminds me of the time we had in the
City Of Mexico said Charles Comiskey
the White SOX president. I've were we'll
in the lead. and. as Is customary in this
country. did not expect to play out the
last half Of the ninth inning. Manager
Jones and tie boys started to go to the
clubhouse. They were greeted by calls.
shouts and Kisses. and told that they
must play out the game. The law there
full innings, and the people want the
full worth of their money.
AT another time we were informed
that unlees we appeared at the ball park
on the day advertised for our appear
ance we should be arrested and fined
In order to get to the City Of Mexico in
time for the advertised game we had to
engage a special train at San Juan del
Rio for a rapid run to the capital OF Mex
ico and the boys had to dress In the bag
gage car They hurried from the railway
station to the grounds. arriving just
within the time limit. The day we lost
in getting to the capital was not counted
against us because of the delay in cross
ing the border
