GRANT DEMANDS
Eleven Features Of Playcrs'
Fraternity Agreed Upon.
Two Refused, Two Are With.
drawn-Au Arc Pleased.

Cincinnati. Jan. 7.-Only . few Of
the many notables Of the baseball
world who have been in attendance
at the sessions Of the national base
ball commission remained to witness
what was expected to be the final
present. Only routine matters were to
be passed upon today. General con-
CALCULATIONS were exchanged today on
the outcome of the prolonged meeting
Yesterday. The extreme liberty with
which the commission dealt with the
players fraternity was said to be q
wise move by prominent baseball
men. inasmuch as they believe that 1t
will tend to conciliate the players and
keep them from jumping to the Fed
eral league.
The exodus Of baseball leaders be-
gan after midnight last night and
there was no intimation given out by
them on leaving that many trades or
deals had been made since the ma
tional commission went into session
Monday.
With the exception Of possibly two
minor considerations the committee
from the baseball players' fraternity
won every point that it requested of the
II requests asked from the national
commission and a committee from the
National Association of baseball clubs.
Request No. 1. was finally conced-
ed by the commission to read: when
a player received ten days notice of
unconditional release he shall be free
to sign with any team Immediately, the
contract to run from the expiration OF
ten-day period
No. request which asked that Ma
ti9nal Association players shall receive
teA-days notice before they can be
pleased unconditionally." was modi-
fed to include q fve-day notice of re-
lease to class IA and class A players
but took no notice whatever Of leagues
in lower classification.
Request No. was conceded by the
players fraternity with an announces
ment that they would leave 1t to the
commission to do what the latter con-
sidered equitable. It reads: When a
player Is transferred he shall be trans
ferred subject to all terms Of his con-
tract
In request No. s. the matter concern
ing waivers was eliminated and the
rule will now read: when a player is
given his conditional release he shall
be notified in writing to that effect"
Request No. 7, which dealt with side
agreements. was amended SO that no
side agreements are permissible and
that a club making side agreement be
fined $500 by the National commission.
Rule No. II, which read: III a player
has been in the major or class IA
League for any portion of the season
for IL different years and If at any
time after the beginning OF the twelfth
year no team in such leagues desire
his services he shall receive his un-
constitutional release" was modified to
read Is years instead of IL.
Rule No. II was done away with
entirely but q new rule embodying the
same idea will be formulated and
agreed upon.

JAkE'S JUNK.

Jack Holland has signed an outflelder
named Papa, and he claims to be q
youngster.
Members Of the Baseball Writer'S as
ISOLATION in the majors are taking q
vote on the disposition Of the -incin-
natl base hit. This has probably
caused as much discussion as any other
play known to baseball. Jack Ryder. a
Cincinnati baseball writer, was the or
fginator Of the method Of scoring this
play and 1t has been considered much
Of joke ever since.
Some Of the baseball writer's on the
Western League circuit in 1913 gave q
batter credit for the Cincy hit and
others do not, but in the absence OF
an organization in the Western
League, a system Of uniform scoring il
impossible.
Omcers of the Western League cir
cult do not need the advice or sugges-
lions of the baseball writers of the cir
cult, but the major league officers do
and appreciate the efforts OF the MEM
bers of the press. OF course the
League are an unimportant "what-you-
might-call-ems" but they are as ia
miliar with the demands OF the public
as any other class.
John A. Heydler. of the National
League. suggests that 'boneheads be
charged to q players record. Baseball
writer's OF the Western League are
warned against adopting the system
without nrst getting the consent of
Jack Holland.
| Sport writer's of the country will con-
slider this as q warning against SO

tons Of the Federal League c. Webb
