NEW YORK. March 19.-Resolu-
tons condemn.ng the practise of
baseball players writing for news
papers about the game were adopted
yesterday at a meeting of the New
York and Brooklyn chapters of the
Baseball Writer'S Association held at
the offices of the New York National
League Club. The vote was II to 1.
with eight members of the two chap
tiers, who were away with teams at
the training camps, voting by proxy.
When the resolutions were pre-
scented Acting Chairman James r.
Price read letters to the New York
Chapter from three members of the
National Commission-Augus Herr
mann, chairman; Ban Johnson, presi-
dent of the American League, and
Thomas j. Lynch, president of the
National League.
Each offered his cooperation to the
baseball writer's in combating the
practise. The resolutions, after noting
the "practise of national agreement
baseball players of allowing the use
of their names and signatures to
articles written by other persons" de-
clare the practise should be wiped
out, as tending ito deceive the base
ball reading public, to lower the tone
and dignity of the sport, to cause
serious friction in the various teams
and to misrepresent the aims of the
baseball writer's" The president OF

A new recruit blew in today. Sam

from Newark. He came to practise
with the Tigers. Eber is mute and
Billy Zimmerman has taken him in
charge. He is paying his own eX-

job pitching on his return North.
Manager Smith, in discussing his
pitching recruits today, said that
KunSle will make a good pitcher some
day. and declared that he was pleased
with the way Shack worked yester-
day. Harry intends to drop Ed Gag
nier down the line in the batting or

zimmermans together, as they were
last season. The old combination of
Bill getting on and stealing and
Ed hitting him home was good one
lots of times, and Harry will try it
for awhile until he decides on a
definite batting array.

No details We're given as to the
substance of Sir Thomas's reputed
letter. but the belief was expressed
that the challenge, il one We're forth
coming. would not impose conditions
such as caused the rejection of the
last two challenges he has submitted,
the superstition being that the British
baronet would this time conform will
the stipulations in the deed of gift.
