|pionship SERIES as we'll as the intercity
series, which were under the auspices
of the commission.
August Hermann, president OF the
Cincinnati baseball club. was re-elect-
ed chairman Of the commission; John
e. Bruce of the st. Louis club OF the

''The commission awarded every re-
quest made by us, and believe that
we have bettered conditions among

Hay IS HIGHEST
IN MANY YEARS
TIMOTHY SEED NOW VALUED At
THREE TIMES PRICE PAID TWO"
YEARS AGO; CAUSE OBVIOUS.

HAY and timothy seed have gone
"out of sight Hay is about 80 per
cent higher at, present than two years
ago. The seed has increased more
than three fold in value In the same
time. RESPONSIBILITY. .-.,...'
Retail dealers in Ottumwa at pres
ent are selling good hay at the enorm-
ous figure of from 81 to $1.2O per
hundred, or from $40 to $24 per ton.
This price has never been reached In
the past twenty-seven years. Last year
hay was selling at from $14 to SIG per
ton, and this was considered an al
most unprecedented price. Two years
ago the same. grade of hay brought
from $12 to $14 ton, SO that in just
two years the. feed has increased in
value over go per cent.
Timothy seed Is the highest ever
known to local retailers, and from the
way 1t has gone soaring, 1t looks as II
It will never again get back down to
earth. 1t is now calling for 81 a
oushelr and then Is scarce at that
figure. The price last year was S.
per bushel, and the year previous at
from $3.50 to 81, or better about $1.75
per bushel This increase of $5.25 has
more than tripled the value OF
timothy seed.
This great advance in both hay and
seed is attributed by local dealers to
that common cause. scarcity. They
state that the hay crop was very poor
the past season for the reason of the
heavy drought, which choked off the
growing stems. Although. the rain
came soon enough to produce fairly
good crop of corn, it was too late for
the hay. The scarcity promises to
send the feed still higher before the
winter is over. Retailers are paying
more for hay now than the sold 1t for
last year.
The conversion of the timothy
meadows into cornfields and the high
price Of the seed last year is the cause
Of the great advance in the price of
grass grower. <.~ =
Corn Is now demanding a good
figure and farmers are devoting more
Of their land to grain fields. What
timothy seed has been secured in the
past two years, or at least the greater
part of it, has come from old meadows,
which grow less productive each year.
The cost of the seed last year was re-
sponsible for the planting of fewer
new meadows. How high timothy seed
will soar next year is question that
is considered grave. Farmers will
not purchase seed for planting this
coming spring because of it's present
figure as there will be but little profit.
This means fewer new meadows and
together with the decrease in the old
fields. indications point to the fact that
timothy seed will be worth almost its
weight in gold. The prices quoted
above are on the recleaned seed.

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 5.-With the
recognition of a class in minor base
ball leagues to be known as class IA,
and 9 revision of practically every
section of the national peace agree
ment, the national baseball commits
sion ended it's eighth annual meeting
here yesterday.
The visit of the hosts of minor
league magnates to the meeting was
not in vain, inasmuch as they were
granted everything that they request
ed Of the commission The class IA
will be ranked between the two
major leagues and the class A league,
and will be composed of the Interna-
tional league, American association
and the Pacific Coast league.
AS in the major leagues, the class
cept for immediate delivery. This
rule does not bind the leagues of a
lower, classification, however. ia
The drafting season, which has
heretofore opened on Sept. 1, will in
the future open on Sept. Is. The sea.
son for purchased players will close
Aug. 20, as formerly. The first five
days Of the drafting season, from Sept.
Is to Sept. 20, will be given over to
the major leagues exclusively. Two
days will then be allowed to elapse
and the class IA league clubs will
have ten days drafting season Then
the leagues of lower classification will
have their season in the order of their
classification.

|, One of the principal changes in the
agreement was the price to be paid
by major league clubs for minor
league players who are drafted. 1t
follows:
TO class AA, $4,000 instead of 81 900;
class A, $1,000 instead of $1,000; class

instead of $500, and class D, $500 in
stead of 5000.
Glass IA league clubs are permitted
to draft from any league of lower
classification, including the class A.,
provided that the latter class clubs
have not lost player by draft to the
major league clubs.

Major league clubs, 35; Glass IA,
80; class A, %; class B, 26; class c.,

assessment to the national commits
sion of $1,000. This was done away

stand the entire expense of running
itself. This is the result Of the healthy

FRESHMEN AND
SENIOR Men WIN
o. n. s. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL
GAMES INTERESTING BAT,
TILE YESTERDAY.

The seniors and the freshmen OF
the Ottumwa high school are the best
basketball players. The senior giants
succeeded in trimming the sophomore
midgets to the. tune of AZ to Is at the
Y. NJ. C. A. last evening. The mix was
exciting as well as comical The fam
Gus Henri Wormhoudt, with his six
feet and 1877 pound stature, was guard.
ed by sophomore OF about ~
pounds, and whenever the little tel
low wanted to pass the ball he just
STOPPED down and heaved it through
Henri's legs, thus puzzling the big
fellow so that it took him considerable
time to find where the ball had been
passed. John Nevin who played the
other forward, was guarded by Deeds
during the first half, but owing to the
lack of training Of Deeds, Captain LODI
wick replaced him with Cone. Nevin
got nine goals off Deeds, but Cone
held him to three. In the second half
the midgets picked up little OF the
pepper that Captain Lodwick shot
into them and put up a better game.
The forwards of the giants were held
s. s.d five goals The lineup: sohhomor.s

The most exciting mix of the even
ing was the game between the juniors
and freshmen, the score of which was
% to II in favor of the freshmen. The
first half was a walkaway for the
freshmen. as Captain Walter Schafer
was not in the game, as he wanted to
see where the weak points OF the
freshmen were and also see where he
was needed in the second half to help
strengthen his team in the final mix
"Hogan's Goat" Gallagher was the
star forward for the juniors and he
succeeded in getting away with three
goals off Palmquist in the first half.
During this half Captain Schafer
shifted Woodrow from right guard to
left SO that he could hold down Koble,
the star forward for the freshmen, but
nevertheless Koble succeeded in get
ting two baskets. The first half closed
with the score 1876 in favor Of the
freshmen -
In the second half Captain Schafer
went in and conferred up against Frs
