New@York. July 12.-At "a special meeting of the National Baseball League, called by President Tener. at the leagues headquarters here today, the rule making the player limit el for each club, which has remained Tn abeyance since. it was postponed last December was unanimously adopted. During the greater part of the session, which lasted over five hours, this rule was discussed. No player under sls- pension will be included in the list of s'disabled'~s players, for whom -oth- CT players can be substituted, but the rule has been, madessufac ciently. elastic to enable a club not to be crippled in playinr strength through any Of its team members being injured or rend- cred useless from a playing standard through illness.
 A suspended player must be counted fin the 21 limit and the. only recourse for a club in such case is to appeal to the National Commission for his re- instatement. The case of Catcher Larry Mclean of the New York Ma tionals, was discussed in connection with this rule
 Following is the new rule, govern ing the transfer of players to the disabled Hist:
 I-Reuuest to shave a players name transferred from the active to the disabled" list shall be certified to the president of the league by the preei- dent of the employing club within AS hours after injury occurs and such request shall state the nature of the players disability and when and where incurred.
 "A player placed on the "disabiI- ed list will not be allowed to partici- pate as a player in championship games for at least ten (10) consecutive days, including the day of his injury. | 0Hn f<4 H1Owr a player.wil be allowed to act as coach 3.-The names of all players certi- fled as disabled" shall be officially bulletined to the club presidents.
 President Dreyfus of Pittsburgh. brought to the attention of the meet ing his claims on the services of Pitcher George Sisler, formerly of the University of Michigan, and now playing with the St. Louis American club. It was the sense of those pres ent, however, that as the Pittsburgh clubs case was in the hands of the National Commission no action could be taken.
 After the session President Tener said that this was the first regu- lar monthly meetings or conferences Of the league, which at his suggeS- tion would be held until the end of the playing season.

CORNELL AND YALE WOULD
 HAVE BOWED cL OSE RAcl
Poughkeepsie oarsmen in Looping oF
 Minute on Time Puts Them on Par :; With Blue.

The action of the board of stewards Pf the Intercollegiate Rowing associa- non In looping a full minute off the 1meS Of the crews in the varsity race In the Poughkeepsie regatta puts the Cornell Oarsmen practically on a par with the championship Yale eight over the four mile journey if the records compiled by such experts as Charles E, Courtney, Ellis Ward. the old Pennsyl- Vania coach, and pr. Walter B. Peet, bhe old Columbia coach, are criterion.
 They say the Poughkeepsie course is l5 seconds to the mile faster than the pne at New London, rowed down stream, and IS seconds faster than New London rowed upstream.
 The approximate measure of differ Pnce between these two four mile row. Ing courses is subject that has caused much comment among the in- expert as well as the expert. No one is better able to state an opinion than the three veterans named, each of whom has had sufficient experience in coaching crews over the Thames and Hudson courses, to qualify them to speak with authority. Courtney and Ward each have coached almost as many crews at New London as at Poughkeepsie, while Dr. Peet rowed Dver the New London course before coaching there and then coached for several years at Poughkeepsie.
 By applying the measure of differ ence set forth, the Yale crew, which rowed upstream at New London in 20 minutes. 52 seconds, would have cov- pred the Poughkeepsie course under the same conditions 72 seconds under that time or in 19 minutes, 40 seconds. lust seconds better than the time of the Cornell eight, 19 minutes, 36 sec pnds.
 On the other hand, Cornell, rowing lt New London. would have done 20 ninutess AS seconds. Rowing men are agreed that unless conditions are iden- dcal times are worthless as means of comparison, but only in this way can he relative merits of the two winning crews be. brought out It would prob lbly be safe to say that Yale and Cor hell would have rowed mighty close lace.
 Another problem about which a great many questions have been asked is the fastest time on record for four miles by a college crew. The record of the Poughkeepsie course is IS minutes, 5a l-5 seconds, made by Cornell in 1904, while the record of the Thames course s 20 minutes, 10 seconds. made by Yale in 1888. But faster -times have been made in trials.
 Columbia is credited with having lowed over the four miles upstream at Poughkeepsie in 1908 in 17 minutes. B 1-5 seconds, which Is a full minute ,nder the record. while the Columbia ! rev of 1901, which forced Cornell to sreak the record at Poughkeepsie to win, rowed a four mile trial on the Hudson from Fort Washington Point b 100th street in IT minutes, 86- sec- lnds on a swiftly moving ebb tide. Syracuse rowed four miles at Poug1h- kecpsie in IS minutes, 36 seconds in l9l2, and Pennsylvania equalled that tme in 1910.

Arrangements Being Made For Game
 in May 1917.

Arrangements have been made to hold the next Olympic games of the Far East in Tokyo, Japan, in May, 1917. Since the institution of the games at Manila, the tournament has been very popular and the decision to hold the next bi-annual meet at To- kyo has caused great satisfaction among the Japanese, who are showing a steadily increasing interest in ath letics. The expenses of the meet are estimated at about 15.000 yen, but baseball is so popular in Japan, it is believed the baseball receipts alone will total 10000 yen.
 Itsis expected that the Tokyo tourn- ament will draw the largest list of en- tries since the beginning of the Far Eastern Oympiad Ellwood $. Brown, secretary of the Far Eastern Athletic association, who has been making the arrangements. says that China will send at least 150 athletes in 1917. The Philippine Islands will send about 80, while Siam and the Malay States. the new members of the association, will send about 20 each.

Crittenton Home Seeking to Raise
Funds in Order to Make I'm
provements

IL you don't wear tag on Sep
tember 25, it won't be the fault of
the board of directors of the Flor
ence Crittenton home. 1t has beer
decided to hold a tag day through
out the State on that day for the
purpose of raising funds for the sup
port of the institution and the direct
ors expect to realize a handsome
sum.
The money raised by the sale of
the tags will be appropriated toward
the erection of a new home for the
dependent children, enlarging the
play ground and for making the
children at the institution more CON-
Portable. The Women of the State
will be asked to take a prominent
part in the sale of the tags.
The Florence Crittenton home is a
charitable institution which takes
care of children who are dependent,
for unfortunates and for women and
girls who are destitute. 1t is non-
sectarian and is supported by the
people of the State in large meas
ure and by the different organized
charities. In raising funds for such
institutions. the tag-day movement
has been found very successful in
many cities and considerable money
is received, as the tags are sold at
only 10 cents, but the purchaser may
pay as much more as he or she can
afford.

Geese OVerrunning Elko
County Grain Fields

One of the prominent ranchers of
Ruby valley who was in Elko the
other day informed the Free Press
that the grain fields in that valley
are being eaten up by the fiocks of
wild geese that have been attracted
to the valley by the ripened grain.
Ruby valley for more than half a
century has raised more grain than
any other in the State. and during
early days when the overland stages
passed through that valley the farm
ers of that place supplied the grain
for the stage line, hauling it hun
dreds of miles in both directions.
There are two larger lakes in the
valley. covering hundreds of acres,
making it an ideal place for wild
fowl of every description. Thous-
ands of geese. ducks and other water
birds nest along the shores of the
lakes, but this year the ranchers say
that the fiocks of geese have come
in from the outside. Early in the
morning the flocks Of geese can be
seen leaving the lake, and the grain
fields are black with thousands of
birds shoveling in the golden grains.
and with wheat at its present price.
golden is the word. And to make
matters worse the State and Federal
laws protect the geese until the first
of October, and the ranchers are
compelled to shoe away the birds.

Capital Available for Mining

A prominent mining engineer, who
is in close touch with financial affairs
OF the nation and who has been in
Reno for some days, says the Jour-
nal, says he never knew of so much
money available for mining.
This condition of affairs he found
in all financial centers. Capitalists
who decline to go into commercial
business because they feel such busi-
ness is being unjustly treated, are
looking to the mining States for in
vestment.
This trend of capital has been
noted by Nevadans, who have had
opportunity to visit the East in the
last year. The majority of poten-
tial investors are seeking mining
properties of proved value but a
number are financing the develop
ment of prospects.
The attraction of capital to mining
will have a beneficial effect on the
industry coming. as it does. at a
time when the demand for precious
metals and metals used in manufact-
uring is increasing rapidly.

WOMEN As JURORS IS
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION

For the last two or three days the
county officials have been busy with
the duties of drawing the venire of
the jurymen who are to serve for the
next term on both the trial and grand
juries, says the Elko Free Press.
The State has recently become a wo-
man suffrage one, and the thought
as to whether women can serve on
juries has haunted many and many
a woman for the past few months,
for some women have more horror
than men from serving on a jury and
many women would refuse to serve
if they thought that there was
chance for them to have to pass on
murders.
Women will be freed from the
worry of serving as jurors for this
year at least for it will take until
1916 at least to get them upon the
voting list from which they can be
drawn. So it will be probably about
the first of January until the first
women will gradually commence
their service upon the juries that try
the criminals in the State of Nevada.
The law exempts married women
from jury service. probably reasoning
that married woman's duties begin
at home before they are due the
State, and although if married wo-
man wishes she may serve when
chosen. yet the fact that she is mar
ried will exempt her from serving if
she does not wish. School teachers
of both sexes are exempt from duty
also.
