BASE BALL MEN ARE ANXIOUS
National Commission to Take UP I'm
portant Matters This Week.
MANAGERS WANT LIMITATIONS
Would Restrict Aumber of Men to
Each League and Also Check
Drafting of Men from the
Smaller Organizations.

All base balloon Will turn its eyes to-
ward New York during the week when
the National and American leagues and
the national commission will convene
Many important recommendation of the
National Association of Professional
Leagues will be acted upon by the ma
| tional commission and base ball mag
mates, players and fans are wondering
Just what will come of them.
Issues of great Importance will be taken
up by the national commission, and chief
among them is the recommendation made
at the San Antonio meeting limiting the
number of players the various leagues
could carry, and also the limiting of the
number of players the major leagues may
draft and buy.
This one issue is of vital importance
to all the minor leagues and especially
to the Class A leagues. The number OF
players that each team shall carry ac-
cordlng to the recommendation was de-
pendent upon the class lof the league.
The minor leagues shall limit their play
ing lists as follows: Glass IA, thirty re-
served, twenty during the season; Glass
A, twenty-six and eighteen Glass B,
| twenty-four and sixteen; Glass c, TWEEN
| ty-two and fourteen; Glass ID, twenty
and thirteen.
The adoption OF ms recommendation is
heartily wished for by almost every minor
/ league owner. With the adoption the
majors would be- allowed TO carry but
thi1ty-four players during the playing
season. ljy only being allowed to carry
thirty-four players the majors would not
gobble up all the promising material at
the end Of the season. The majors would
only be allowed TO draft eight players.
! The Glass IA teams would then drafl
six and the Class A four, and so on down
the list.
ROurISe's Views Given.
IT has got TO a stage where tn,
major leagues control all the good play
ers,' said Pa Rourke, i'm discussing the
recommendation. Now by the adoption
OF this recommendation at the meeting
next week a great many of the good bal
players would be thrown upon tn,

Forty five thousand Chinese and Las

600 Chinese sailors have been brought
into this country and the number in
creases every year. These are the fig
ures published by the Seamans' Union.

fight this Oriental competition. He

ish subjects, fact which makes legis
lation against them impossible. His
plan is to have the labor unions COM
bine to prevent any ship employing
Oriental hands from being loaded or
discharged in the ports az the United
Kingdom.
on the part of the ship owners the
arguments are urged that Chinese sail
ors are more faithful. more amenabIe
to discipline and-a point which the
English sailOrmen resent bitterly-are
more efficient. That they will work
for lower wages, and that their cost
for food and other necessaries is below
that of white sailors is unquestionable,
but those are points upon which the
owners. from motives of policy. put as
little stress as possible

New Bridge Over Thames.

The corporation of the City of Lon

matter of the construction of a new
bridge across the Thames river. Just
below st. Pauls cathedral. which i'm
view Of the fact that the city is sup
plying the money seems right and
proper. When the city decided that
another bridge was necessary TO han
die the ever-increasing traffic between
the north and south OF London, n bill
was presented to parliament asking
the necessary permission.
The city's proposal provided that a
new bridge should be constructed and
that the streets behind St Paurs should
he widened to allow Of the free pas
sage Of traffic. 1t was simply n bust
nessman's proposition. The architects
and artists. and others who pretend To
a knowledge of art, arose and declared
that If the scheme was carried out as
suggested by the city a great oppor-
tunity of beautifying London would be
lost.
They proposed that the bridge should
be so built that il would approach up
posite the south transcept giving a new
vista Of the dome. Everybody thought
that this would be an Improvement.
but as it would cost S1O,OOO.0OO more
and the corporation did not have the
ten million 10 spare they opposed it.
With the powerful support of A. ].
Balfour, member for the city. the cor
poration bin was passed and the bridge
will be built as originally arranged.
