For Drafted Players.

Chicago, Sept. There will. be no
war in organized baseball at pres
ent and neither will the status of
the American Association be changed
a d meeting of the miner league
magnates with President Thomas y.
Chiviagton here today. it was decided
TO withdraw the petition they pre-
sented TO the national commission
lug. 1st demanding Il e.ange in their
rating The comnisst5n having pre-
viously refused to grant the demands.
the action today amounted to d con-
plete surrender On the part Of the
American Association
The petition asked that the daft
price of an American Association
player be made $4,000 instead OF $1,000,
the present price ana that but one
player be taken from each club in
one year. The action today means that
the standing Of the minor league will
remain unchanged the old agreement

As the demands were refused

today and apparently they had fully
agreed to submit to the rule of the
commission even before the session
convened. The team owners We're
closeted with President Chivington but
little more than an hour. The mag
mates We're unanimous that it would be
best to withdraw the petition. None
of those. who participated in the meet
ing were willing to discuss the case to
any extent President Chivington
made the announcement of the decision
to withdraw the petition and after the
team owners insisted after the meet
ing that his statement covered the
story Of the session.
The defeat of the American Association
in this fight is due directly to the failure
Of the magnates of the Southern and
Eastern Leagues. both of which are cas-
sifed with the American Association, to
Join the latter IN demanding change of
their rating Hopes of outside support
were blasted just before the meeting in
Cincinnati two weeks ago however when
tie Eastern and Southern League own
ers announced that they. could not join
the american Association in asking for
such drastic change of the draft price.
The Eastern League had some demands

taken up later by the national commits

Frankfort Afraid
OF an Incendiary.

Frankfort. Me-, Sept IA fire which
apears to be another in a series of incen-
diary blazes which have destroyed 500 600
worth of property in this village in the
past two or three years. broke out early
this morning and destroyed the house
owned by Fl. H. Treat and occupied by
y. E. Potter, who was burned out few
weeks ago when he was proprietor of the
Manor Inn, the village hotel, also the
house of Eugene Grant adjoining. The
loss will be $500. Adjacent buildings were
saved by hard fight by the villagers.
The fire has caused intense excitement,
for there is but little doubt that it was
the work of a fire bug, as were the
others, breaking out at the same time
and from no apparent cause. A reward
of $1,000 is still standing, offered by Miss
Grace Kelley of Boston. owner of the
Manor Inn, and 1t is probable that the
citizens of the town holl hold mass
meeting to form vigilance committee to
run down the incendiaries If possible.
