FAN THINKS WELL Of
ROCHESTER PURCHASE
Believes MoeIIer, Foster and
Spencer Will Make Good
With Nationals.

A local fan who is spending several
days in Rochester sends the following re-
garding the three players Washington
purchased from the Rochester club:
Sporting Editor. Star:
The acquisition Of three Of Rochester's
ball players to the Washington team will
surely strengthen the Nationals in the
field. Two OF them in action in double
bill with Baltimore yesterday proved all
that Is claimed Of them
Right Fielder Moeller was on the in
jured list. having. sprained his shoulder
In game Saturday and could not be
seen. but the fans were loud in their
praises of his stick work and base run
ning which is proved in the oficial aver
age. The average made public Tuesday
has Moeller third in batting in the East
ern League with 1872. He has 20 stolen
bases to his credit. 81 hits and 81 runs in
81 games. Moeller bats both right and
left handed.
Spencer, the nimble first baseman. APP
peared to be a quiet, unassuming, gen.
tlemanly player. He fielded superbly; his
long reach and pick-ups were very SEN
sational. At the bat he did not impress
one as hard hitter. but he had one
two men on In the two games yesterday,
and he stole second, going away and
beating the throw by a close margin, but
the steal was clean.
In speaking Of his batting. a prominent
fan said he had changed his style from
a long sweep to shorter one, with a
shorter bat, at Manager Cancels sug-
gestion, and IL was not proving as sue
cessful. but, said the fan. under McAleer
he will come back to the long bat and
n tv1c mil he q
the Senators as it was last year here
Spencer bats left-handed and was a won
der at long drives before he changed his
style. HeN has made ia hits. sixty runs
and stolen twelve bases In 113 games
Stubby Foster Is surely the goods. His
appearance at the bat and at short is on
the Kid Elberfeld order. He is as lively
as q cricket, takes the ball and throws
while on the run very cleverly, is a true
thrower to first and picks them up very
clean. He bats right-handed. His f1rst
time UP yesterday. with one on, he tripled
to deep center and skirted the bases
like a deer. Foster has broad, square
shoulders, the making of a good hitter
He Is a very quiet ball player and made
q good impression. His average is 126
Lifts, eighty runs and seventeen stolen
bases In 1l5 games.
These three players are very popular
were very lavish in their praises and
loud in their regrets that this was the
last season for Moeller. Spencer and Fos-
ter with Rochester.
Rochester has a third baseman who
has been overlooked by the major scouts.
and he is burning the grass around the
third cushion and breaking the willow
with his heavy swings He Is Ward
who Is playing his second year here. He
follows Moeller in the average. being
fourth. with $50 per cent. In ninety
eight games he has had 40 hits, fifty
runs and twelve stolen bases. He is built
like Ainsmith and is a Splinter in the
field and on the bases. FAN

National Commission in Busy
Session at Cincinnati.
MANY PLAYERS WANTED
Work Of Deciding Which Shall
Come Up Will Take
All Day.

CINCINNATI. Ohio September l.
Previous to the second days meeting
of the national base ball commission
this morning there was a great gath
ering of base ball magnates in the
lobby of the hotel at which the com
mission is holding its sessions. Each
arriving train contributed its quota OF
base ball men who want to be on the
ground to observe the annual draft
which is to take place today. The
ruling OF the national commission yes
terday, in which it refused the demands
of the American Association and gave
that organization until September 10 to
decide il it wanted to remain in or
ganized base ball, was the one topic OF
discussion.
None of the American Association
people would intimate what course their
organization would pursue. although
from many other sources bold state
ments were made that a big base ball
war was imminent.
The work Of the commission today will
be entirely confined to drafting and con-
sidering the request of the Eastern
League for more privileges. 1t is hardly
possible that the commission will come
to any conclusion today on the latter sub
ject, as it is believed that the drafting
proceedings will occupy the greater part
of it's time.

The helplessness of a multitude of chill

the difficulty. There are few school

there are not two or more classrooms

manner. Frequently city school buildings

American Association Side.

President Chivington OF the American
Association issued the following state
ment last night:
1.-THE American Association is today as
as the National League was ten years
ago in point of value Of it's franchise
plants and business prospects.
Yet the American Association does
major leagues. 1t is willing to continue
TO contribute the best player Of each OF
its clubs yearly to the National and
American Leagues. In order that they
may maintain the supremacy that the
patronage entities them to.
1T does not ask for separate represen-
tation on the national commission, mol
does 1t seek to take from either the ma
tor or minor leagues any rights they now
have.
The second clause. covering the selec.
tion by the major leagues of one ball
player from each club by purchase at a
nxed price of $1,000 Is intended to carry
out one Of the first principles Of organized
base ball, enabling capable ball players
20 advance in their profession. 1t is also
intended to check brokerage In base bal
players. one OF the most pernicious de-
velopmsnts of the present laws governing
tina purchase and sale Of players. With
q purchase price Of $500. only the play
cry B2fose services are needed would be
taken from the American Association.
20 make q sacrifice for this change. as the
major league clubs would not again be
called upon to pay such prices as were
paid for Maruuard. Hunter and O'Toole.
The only advantage sought by the
American Association in this respect Is
that its teams would not be torn to pieces
each year.
The provisions Of rule IS OF the ma
tional agreement make IL necessary that
tho American Association should have
all players purchased. whether on option
or not, report on or before September J.
while the major league clubs are not &C
restricted This rule works hardships &c
many young players, who should be al
lowed to enjoy the advantage Of school
Ing in the American Association.
The American Association Is freed from
the National Association by the expira-
ton OF It's agreement, and prefers not &c
again become identified with an organiza-
ton that has shown itself antagonistic To
the interests of the American Association
in all legislative actions.
THE value of the franchise and the char
acter OF the ball parks and plants are In
keeping with the progressive spirit Of the
national game and the population of its
cities. and when the importance OF the
American Association Is realized the pa.
irons of base ball throughout the coun-
try will understand that reforms asked
for are modest and based on equity"

Draft Is Heavy.

ruge bundle OF mail is in custody OF
Secretary Bruce. each particular letter Of
which contains drafts for one or more
players. The opening and asserting Of
these drafts is expected to consume most
of the day and the real business Of draft
ing will be late in the afternoon.
Although the commission expected to
begin it's meeting at 0 o'clock, 1t was long
after that when 1t went into session, as
greeting of arriving base ball moguls and
lodging their anxious inquiries OF what
was going to occur took up a great part
of the time Of the members Of the ruling
body Of the base ball world.

BASE BALL CRISIS
Commission Denies American
Associations Demands.
WAR MAY BE THE RESULT
Eastern League Not a Party to Dis
turbing Faction, But Makes
Other Requests.

CINCINNATI. September 1.-The ma
tional base ball commission yesterday not
only rejected every demand made upon
Il by the American Association, but
went farther in stating that IL the Ameri-
can Association decided not to operate
under the rules of organized base ball
teams would be placed in every city on
that circuit.
While no mention of a lea que to do bat
tie with the American Association was
made. II was implied to an extent that
could not be misunderstood.
The American Association is given
until September 10 to give an answer to
upon this answer will hinge the question
that now is foremost in the minds of
base ball men. namely, will there be a
base ball war;"
In its finding the national commission
took pains to place the brunt of the
worry on the shoulders of the American
Association, and 1t now rests with that
body as to whether or not there will be
war.
Chairman August Hermann made the
announcement that all the demands made
on the national commission by the Ameri-
can Association had been refused.
President Thomas Chivington OF the
American Association said: Il intend to
call meeting OF the American Asocia-
ton in the near future, and until this
matter is taken up BY my league / can
not say what will happen
Immediately after passing upon the
demands of the American Association
the commission took up the requests of
the Eastern League. While the petitions
were not made public. 1t is said that the
only one OF any Importance is plea
that the drafting system from class A
clubs be eliminated entirely. and that a
straight purchasing system be instituted
The commission will consider their de-
mands further and may not be able to
act upon them at this meeting. The
annual drafting process will take place
