lem.

New Orleans Dispatch. Aug. 81.
With the close of the season to-
night, Southern cotton men de-
clare that they are now face to
face with what may prove a SER
lous problem if they are forced
to move the coming crop under
conditions which are radically
different from those which have
prevailed in the past.
This situation was brought
about by the faction Of tie Brit
ism bankers in declaring that in
the future American banks will
have to guarantee cotton bills Of
iading before they will be honor
ed across the water. This being
impossible. a conference Of
American and British bankers
mas been arranged for early next
week in London. and the out.
come of this conference is now Of
paramount interest in Southern
cotton circles, surprising ever
the season end statistics.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July S.-A bill
is to be presented to the next legislature
for the restoration of horse racing In
Missouri. according to John d. Knapp OF
ST. Louis in a communication to the Sec
rotary of state.
The original intention, Knapp says. was
to submit the bill through the initiative
creating state racing commission, COM
posed of five members, appointed by the
governor. to supervise and regulate the
sport in Missouri
Knapp says the movement was mi
tiated by certain sporting members OF
the Missouri Referendum League at st.
Louis, who saw a chance to restore rae
ing in Missouri under proper conditions
and safeguards. both to breeders and to
the public, by putting before the voters
reform racing bill
The betting permitted in the contem-
plated act would be on the .'pari-mu-
tuel STYLE" Knapp said. If the bill fails
of passage. he says. they will submit 1t
to the people through the initiative in

HERZOG SUSPENDED.
Boston Third Baseman Tried to
Supplant Manager Lake.

BOSTON. July Observation-Disclosures in
the Boston National League team has
resulted in the indefinite suspension yes
terday of Charley Herzog. the third base
man secured from New York early in the
season. Herzog. according to Manager
McGraw of the New York team. was en-
deavoring to undermine Manager Fred
Lake OF the Boston team and get his
job. The plot had progressed SO far. Nc
Graw said, that Herzog was considering.
an offer of $1,000 a year on a two-year
contract as manager. and came to him
(McGraw) for advice. McGraw listened
to the information given him by the local
player and being of the opinion that
Herzog was not acting squarely tipped
Manager Lake off to what was doing.
Lake did not go to President Dovey
about the matter but called up Vice
President Harris at his home in Pittsburg
and told him what was up. Mr.. Harris
said 1t was the first intimation he had
received that q change in management
was contemplated and told Lake to go
ahead and handle the affair in the way
he thought best. Herzogs suspension
came yesterday, and the player left for
his home in Maryland after being paid.
At the grounds it was said that Herxog
had injured his back and would not be
able to play for q few days. President
Dewey and Manager Lake declined to
discuss the alleged attempt to supplant
the latter. Mr.. Dewey said he had sus-
pended Herzog but preferred to keep his
reasons to himself

TRICKS EMPLOYED TO
FARM OUT PLAYERS
Mysteries of Waving Claim,
Always a Puzzle to Fans,
Explained.

The mysteries of 'waiving claim on
ball player may be somewhat Of a
puzzle to the average fan. There are
several angles to the process of getting
q man into the major leagues and out
again If his work Is not satisfactory. To
acquire a player, the major league either
drafts him or purchases his contract In
this the player has no say. If he does
not like the drafting or purchasing club
he may quit base ball. There is no al
tentative. Securing a new player, there
fore. is simple. Getting rid of him is
another thing. 1t Is in sending the player
back to the minors that the waving
claim" business steps in. Each league
being a sort of cooperative concern in
many respects each club in that league
is entitled to greater consideration than
members of other business. Therefore,
if player belongs to major league
team and 1t does not wish to carry him
on the pay roll longer, but wants to send
him to another league, the management
must first secure waivers, which are
the consent in writing of each club in
the league. Waivers when once secured
hold good for thirty days. If one club
refuses to waive the club has one of two
choices; it can retain the player or turn
him over to the club which wants him
for the waiver price, which is $1,000. j..
A lot of folks fall into the error of
thinking just because a club asks waiv-
ers it means to dispose of that particular
player. Waivers are used for a lot of
things. to stir up a laggard player, for
instance. II club really wishes to place
man with minor league waivers are
seldom asked for that individual, but
two or three others are sought, for the
purpose Of binding the other managers
as to what the club really thinks of its
players
Cleveland, for instance, asked waivers
on Berger. Ball. Perrine and Doane.
Chances are the Maps would like to place
Doane. 1t is evident the club would not
ditch both Ball and Perrine, because it
would be left without substitute infield-
ers. There used to be a rule in the Ma
tional League to the effect that a club
asking waivers had to dispose of that
player to the team that refused to re-
lease its claim and had the 1900 handy.
That cut off playing politics on the
waiver business, but the National finally
adopted the Americans system, which
permits of little more kid glove work.
In the case of a player purchased from
a minor league and whom a major league
club wishes to send back, waivers must
American, providing the major league
club desires to dispose Of him within
year of the date of purchase. Drafted
players require consents only in the one
organization. The reason for that is in
purchasing player the fifteen clubs
who did not get him were deprived of
their chances during the drafting season.
without title passing to a major league
club. all sixteen would have had an equal
chance, for II more than one draft had
been put in they would be decided by lot.
