Under a new system introduced by
President Ebbetts of the Brooklyn
club, and which was adopted by the
national baseball commission, the rep
resentatives of teams in the National
and American leagues met in this city
yesterday and drafted players from
clubs sent in drafts for certain players
and could land only the players desig-
mated by the drafts. This season it
was decided by drawing slips of paper
from a hat which club had the right
to pick from the various teams and
the lucky club was allowed to make
selection of any player on the club
in question. The system was design
ed to give the weaker teams of the
major leagues better chance to land
players who would do them the most
good.
