 Johnson may be f1atfooted" said Ketchel. but if he is I would like to be flatfooted. Don't worry about his speed. He is without doubt the fast est big man I ever saw When he lunges out with his straight left it carries the force of a piston rod. He can hit and get out of the way better than any fighter I ever saw.
 T had the satisfaction of landing once on Johnson cleanly, and that time the big champion keeled One of these days they will give me more credit for my bout against Johnson than they do now. I pick Johnson to win over Jeffries in less than twelve rounds"

Ruling b National Commission to
 Govern Certain Situations.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 3.-The National baseball commission tonight denied the request of Class c and D leagues for an amendment of the rule concerning the purchase of minor league players.
 The attention of the commission was called to the case by J. H. Farrell, sec retary of the National association, who submitted a resolution offered at the recent meeting held at Memphis by the Class c and D leagues requesting that rule 36 be amended so that minor league players can be purchased by one minor league club from another without having such players report to the purchasing club on or before the commencement of the major league drafting season.
 As the rule now stands, when minor league players are purchased by one minor league from another, and they do not report by September l. they are subject to draft from the clubs which they are with on August 20.
 The commission in its ruling saysi @We reiterate that if the rule was changed so as to cover the request as now made, it would be detrimental not only to the major league and Class A clubs, but all players operat- ing under organized baseball as well.
 ftThe statement recently issued by the National commission shows the amounts expended by major league clubs alone during the past year for drafted and purchased players to be about $500, ,OO0, and in addition to this, be retained, payments amounting to practically $64,000 additional are made. This shows that the minor league in- terests have been fully protected. The request of the Class c and D leagues is therefore refused"
