What is a Waiver.

The mysteries of waving claim

puzzle to the average fan. There are
several angles TO the process of get

Ior league either drafts him or buys
his contract. In this the player has no
say If he does not ike the drafting

DES MONIES, Feb. 27.-For the
first time in America the qualifying

played over thirty-six hole course

the Iowa state golf tournament and
arrangements have been completed
for holding the qualifying rounds o-er

No. 4 of the other and after PLAYING

make the finish of all qualifying
rounds at the eighteen green of the
original course
Play will be started on the morning
of June 2S and will continue through
the week. The only Innovation in the
state program this year will be
handicap event for junior players, the
age limit being for boys under 10
years of age.
Present indications are that the
Iowa state golf event will be the best
in the history of the state. The city
dads" have promised to have water to
the Wayeland greens, an undertaking
which can be accomplished at little
expense by making connections with
the pipes OF the Country club and
with the Glendale cemetery connec-
tons. these pipes running through
the golf links in part The proposition
of playing the qualifying rounds over
thirty-six continuous holes will also
appeal to the golfers of the state and
will draw number OF men who do
not care for the sport over the con-
gested links. The junior event will
also draw number OF Youngsters.
This event will be handicap af-
fair, the boys playing fifty-four holes,
the thirtysix of the qualifying round
and the eighteen holes OF the first
round of elimination play The hsndi-
caps will be arranged some time be-
fore the beginning OF play.

entitled to a greater consideration
than members of other business.
Therefore, if player belongs to a
major league team and it does not
wish TO carry him on the pay roll
longer, but wants to send him to an
other 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, says the
kewanee Star-Courier
If one club refuses to waive, the
club has one or two choices; it can
retain the player or turn him over 10
the club which wants him for the
waiver price. which is $500. A lot
of folks fall into error bf thinking just
because club asks waivers it means
TO dispose of that particular player.
Waivers are used for lot of things:
TO stir UP laggard player for in
stance. If club really wishes to
place man with a MINOR league
waivers are seldom asked for that in
dividual. but two or three others are
sought for the purpose of binding the
other managers as to what the club
really thinks of it's players.
There used to be rule in the Ma
tional League to the effect that
club asking waivers had to dispose OF
that player to the team that refused
to release its claim and had the ST.
500 handy. That cut off playing poll
tics on the waiver business, but the
National finally adopted the Ameri
cans system which permits of little
more kid glove work. In the case of
player bought from minor league
and whom major league club wishes
to send back, waivers must be secur-
ed in both the National and American,
providing the major league club de-
sires to dispose of him within year
of the date of purchase. Drafted play
ers require consent only in one or
ganization The reason for that is in
buying a player the fifteen clubs who
did not get him we're deprived of
