do anything or was it a National
league meeting?" asked one OF the
scribes who arrived late at the Wal
dorf Wednesday afternoon. Scribe
Mercer replied that it was just a plain
National league meeting And that's
all IL was.
After two DAYS OF fiddling the Ma
tiOnal league magnates finally adopted
the 1915 schedule thanked Barney
Dreyfuss for the good work he did in
laying IL out and then caught trains
homeWardbound.
The most important subject before
the meeting was Ed BarrOW's plea
10 have the Jersey City International
league franchise transferred to the
Bronx. It was learned that Magnut
Hampstead of the Giants, fought this
and finally the matter was tabled for
the present.
In fact about everything was ia
bled. It looks as though the magnuts
will await the decision OF Judge Lam
dis before they decide definitely on
any move.

learned, viii talk over the Information
al invasion Friday afternoon. The
international chief still entertains

hereafter no club announcing a waiv-
er on a player can withdraw it, nor
can a club applying for player un-
der a waiver withdraw the offer.

allowed a club TO claim $3.50 for train
