 Baldwin boxed a draw with Johnny Mccarthy at Salt Lake City recently He gives a somewhat original excuse for not carrying off the verdict. Bald win says the referee told him 1fter the fight that as it was the first fight to be held at Salt Lake City ance the game started again, he did not want to cause too much talk, ant to avoid this called the bout a draw. al- though Baldwin won all the way.
 Sam Langford is over at New Eorp, Staten Island, training for his out with Joe Jeanette, which takes pace at Madison Square Garden on Sep. 5. Langford has four husky sparing partners working with him. He has issued an invitation to all his admir- CTS to come and see him go throtgn his daily work. Sam promises pkn- ty of boxing for those who accept his invitation. As this is the first time that he has ever trained in his vicinity, no doubt large crowds of su- rious persons will visit his camp.

Drafting Season
 Commenced Today Major League Put in Claims For Promising Players at Meet
 ing in Cincinnati

The scramble for cheap baseball talent began in Cincinnati last night one minute after midnight. In the first five minutes of Sept. 1 probab- ly POO claims on minor league players will be filed at the offices of the Ma tionaI Commission. The drafting sea- son is at hand.
 The scouts that have roamed from coast to coast for months, seeking tal- been called in. The drafting season ends the labors of the gumshoe gent ry until next spring. They have combed the minor leagues pretty thoroughly.
 The few remaining eligibles not pur- chased Or repurchased by the Brook lyn Club, or that were overlooked by bushes, will be thrown on the open market at fixed market prices.
 Very often good players are picked up in the draft. The rule that for bids the drafting of more than one or two players from any one club-ac- cording to the class of the league often tempts minor league club owners to take a sporting chance by holding out a valuable performer in the hopa that he will be thrown out in the draft. Where more than one man IS drafted from one team there is a draw ing. The first name out Of the hat is that of the player subject to draft. The others cannot be touched. Then if more than one cluo has drafted the one man they draw to see which gets him at a fixed draft price. The dra' : is therefore, somewhat of a lottery.
 It has been the expeIience of maay managers to discover stars in draft ed players and to fin l lemons in athletes purchased for big money before :.te drafting season opens. Otis CrandaIl cost the New York club just $500 He was drafted in 1907 from the Cedar Rapids club of the Three-Eye League Another drafted player with the Giants is Charley Herzog, who graduated from the Reading club of the Sri State League the same year. Tn last years draft McGraw hooked Grover Cleveland Hartley. promising young catcher The club that was forced to give up Hartley for the draft price of s1 5GG refused twice that money for him before the drafting season opened. In the last three years the New York club las paid out large sums for men who were purchased in mid-season, and who utterly failed to pan out.

the part of the National Association of minor leagues,

rhe part Of the Nat1Onal Association of minor leagues,
 In return the American Association will agree to regard contracts and res erva tions of the other leagues and to waive the drafting rights on minor leagues now held by it, buying all players direct from major or minor leagues:
 The decision of the National Com mission says in part:
 1.-The commission is unanimous in the conclusion that it is without authority to act on the petition formulated by the American Association at special meeting held in Chicago on Aug. 1, 1911, for the reason that the cOnces- sions applied for can be granted only by amending the National Agreement in several places, which requires the affirmative vote of each of the parties thereto, to wit: The National Ameri- can Leagues, parties of the first part, and the National Association, party of the second part
 Firmly convinced that a disturb amce of the delicate adjustment of conditions and relations under which organized baseball has attained pres tfge and prosperity, that wild continue as long as its cardinal principles are observed, the commission will recom- mend to the several parties to the Ma tfonal Agreement that the radical and revolutionary requests of the American Association for recognition as am in dependent organization along the hines of its petition be rejected
 With full appreciation of the i'm portance of organized baseball being permanently represented in the pres emit circuit of the American Associa- tion, the commission extends to pa irons and players it's assurance that, regardless of the course of the peti- toner (the American Association, this territory will continue under pro- lection for an indefinite period In order that a matter of so much mo- ment may receive proper attention, the commission hereby requires the American Association to notify it's chairman by Sept. 10 whether it will continue to operate under the National Agreement.
 Tn the meantime the secretary of the commission has been directed to withhold payment of draft money for 1911 to American Association clubs un- til further instructed by the chairman of the commission.

Smith brought the informa- tion that HackenSchmidt intends to rush the match and be on the offen- sive all the time.
