DRAFTING BEGINS
National Commission Opens
Annual Meeting.
May Change Drafting Rules
Consider Giant-Phillie Affair.

Cincinnati, Sept 15.-Major and minor
lea que magnateS and others interested
in the drafting of players by major
lea que clubs from minor leagues We're
present today when the national base
ball commission, August Hermann
chairman; Thomas Lynch, president of
National league and B. B. Johnson,
president of the American league, be-
gan its annual meeting. 1t was re-
ported that the commission would dis
cuss a new plan for drafting players
that would give the advantage to sec
ond division teams in the major leagues
and help them to build up. At present
all clubs in the two big leagues have
an equal advantage.
The first division clubs may put in a
many drafts as the second division
teams and they have an equal chance
to draw the players desired. Tonight
the directors of the National league
will meet to review the protest of the
New York club of the National league
with regard to the New York-Philade1-
phia game of Aug. 80, which was for
feited to New York by Umpire Bren-
nan, and later awarded to the Phila-
delphia team by President Lynch.
Just before the commission went
into session Chairman Hermann an
nounced the rule of procedure in the
drafting of players would be changed.
Instead of the old way of placing in a
hat the names of Major League clubs
who had entered for the same play
erS for a class A, or AA, club and
combining the selection to the player
named, the winner in the lottery
would be given an opportunity to
choose any player from that club on
which drafts had been made by any
club. The old rule provided that only
one player could be drafted from one
club and that the winner in the
drawing could only obtain the man
for whom it had entered a draft
When the drafting season opened
drafts on the American association In
ternational league, the Coast league
and the Southern league We're consid-
cred. In accordance with the rules
adopted previous to the drafting the
names of the players were not given
out, but only the club from which they
were secured
Out of the four leagues, the Ameri-
can league club of Detroit secured six
players, st. Louis Americans six, New
York Americans one, Washington one,
Chicago Americans one and Cleveland
one. In the National league Boston
drew four, Brooklyn three, Chicago
three, Philadelphia one and Cincinnati
one.
The following were the drafts from
the Western league, the last of the
class A leagues to be drawn: st. Louis
Nationals obtained player from Den
Yer; Chicago Americans one from Lin
coin; Boston Nationals one from Oma-
ha; st. Louis Americans one from
Sioux City. Ia: Boston Nationals one
from st. Joseph, Mo-; and St. Louis
Americans one from Wichita. Kan.
This completed the drafts from class
"A and class A leagues and the names
of the players that will be taken from
these clubs will be announced later
when the major league clubs make
their selections.

Clear Skies Soon.
ENTIRE WEEK BELOW NORMAL
Minimum Temperature at :
O'clock Was 81 Degrees.
Anxious Farmers Begin to Fig
ure on killing Frost.

This is damp. dreary day at To-
peka. The weather here is of the
brand that predominates at Chicago
in the early spring time. A light driz-
zl1ng rain began falling at s o'clock.
The dampness is penetrating. How
ever, In western Kansas the sky was
clear at O'Clock, and the forecast
calls for fair weather at Topeka to-
night and Tuesday.
The average temperature at To-
peka for the week ending this morning
was below normal. All weekly aver
ages since the week ending June 16
had been above normal. The mini
mum temperature at o'clock this
morning was So degrees which is two
degrees below the normal minimum
for this date. The minimum tempera-
ture at Hays on Sunday morning was
"a degrees-just two degrees above
freezing.
The crop growing period in the
vicinity of Topeka may not end for at
least another month. Farmers may
be able to get in another cutting of
alfalfa.
According to Sunny Flora. the To-
cal weather observer, the average date
Tor the first killing frost is October Is.
The earliest killing frost on record
here came on September 2S, 1888; the
latest on November 8, 1900

That was on September 10. 1901. Snow

one-half inches of the white stuff fell.
On October 81. 1912, four and one-half

HELD To 1O-HOUR DAY
Wisconsin Manufacturers Cannot Work
Work Longer Than That.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 15.-Eight large
milwaukee candy manufacturers were
today denied permission by the state
industrial commission to employ wo-
men more than ten hours day during
the three months rush season preced-
ing Christmas. Various reasons are
given by the commission, among them
being: That the commission, in inves-
tigating conditions of female employ
ment, probably would find in most in
dustries that the hours should be re-
duced rather than increased. That
women must be protected by the state
because the welfare of the race is de-
pendent upon them.

w. r.. Stubs Says He Will
Stay at Home Hereafter.
Declares Best Job in America
Wouldn't Tempt Him.
SCORNS SENATORIAL RUMORS
Mrs. StubbS His Staunch Back
er in All Declarations,
But He Did Hanker for a Hand
in Maine Fight.

No more political jobs for Walter
Roscoe Stubbs, former governor of
Kansas. He almost declared today
that an election certificate to the best
job in the gift of the American people
wouldn't tempt him one bit. And his
declaration was promptly approved and
attested by Mrs. Stubbs, who accom-
panied her husband to Topeka.
The Stubs family has been home
from Europe a week. In that time the
former governor has made three trips
to Topeka. But not until today did he
mention politics. Then he declared
that he had no desire to hold office, but
wanted to spent his time at his home
near Lawrence. OF course that declar-
alton doesn't mean that Stubbs won't
take part in future campaigns in Kan
sas- In fact, he seems to be just as
keenly interested in politics. as ever
only he says that he doesn't want any
offices himself
Asked about the recent congression-
al election in Maine, which resulted in
the overwhelming defeat of the Pro-
SresSive candidate, StubbS declared
that he believed Peters would prove
good congressman. But the former
Kansas governor lodged any mention
of the possible effect of the congress
sional election in Maine as affecting the
future of the new party.
Still Has Fighting Spirit.
.Wish 1 could have been up there
to have taken a hand in the fight
said Stubbs when asked about the re-
cent Maine election. But the result
wasn't really as bad as it looked. 1
am informed that Peters is really
quite a Progressive Republican and a
mighty good man."
rs there any truth in the rumors
that you may be a candidate for eth
er United States senator or congress-
man next year2" was asked.
You know said the former gov
ernor as he Enthusiastically tugged
at his hat, why, you know if they
were to hand me any kind of a NOM
ination or election certificate, L
wouldn't even thank them for it,
Then you won't be a candidate at
all, governor?"
Mrs. Stubbs was standing by the
side of her husband.
I'VE want to stay at home, that's
what we want to do said Mrs.
Stubbs.
Yes repeated Stubbs, I'VE want
to stay at home

to this country and supposed represen-
tative of Provisional President Huerta.
Though he has been in the United
States several days, Zama c~--- has not
revealed the purpose of his coming. At
the state department and at the Mex
rican embassy no information can be
cleaned. 1t is believed, however, that
he is commissioned by PRESIDENT
Huerta to negotiate a loan from New
York bankers if possible. He has spent
several days in New York.
Senor de Zamacona is recognized
even by the opponents of the Huerta
government as very shrewd man,
and therefore his movements are be-
ing closely followed by every one con-
cerned in the Mexican situation. His
claim that he is in the United States
''on private business is considered as
a Diplomatic statement.
