CANAL REPAIRS DELAYED.

mainly on the ground that the dele

action would result in the resignation

expect a free trip to the coast and
think bylaw No. II, enacted only a

ance of transportation, should be en-

said he thought it should be abolished

NEW COMMISSION RULE.
Clubs Must Act at Once in Cases of
Reverted Players.

NEW YORK. February 29.-The ma
tional base ball commission has decided
that when player has reverted to a
majo league club as a result of his un-
conditional release by the Federal
League, it is the duty of the. club to
which he returns to promptly contract
with him. transfer him to. another club
or waive all claim to him in writing.
Federal League players so released are
advised by the commission to apply to
the club to which they. revert for en-
ployment. All ma for league clubs must
notify the presidents of their respective
leagues what action has been taken in
the cases OF the Federal League players
who revert to them. Minor league clubs
must also notify Secretary Farrell of the
national association of the disposition of
all Federal League players who revert
back to their clubs.
The commission promulgated a deci-
sion, declaring Pitcher Hub Purdue, last
year with the st. Louis Nationals. a free
agent and eligible to contract with any
club desiring his srvices. The commits
sion upheld he contention Of Purdue that
under his contract st. Louis could not
transfer him to a minor league.

Boehling may show to better advan
tage the coming season than he did
last. The fact that he got three year
contract last year calling for 5000 per
season upset Boehling badly and at no
stage of the campaign did he take his
work seriously. preferring to see the
other pitchers do the work.
1t was the fact that the Richmond
twirler had SO stiff contract that made
it a hard matter to get rid OF him. Not
having pitched good ball in 1915 none of
the clubs to whom he was offered showed
a disposition to take chance with him
and tie itself up to pay $4,000 to
him for two years work.

II was not an easy matter to maintain
discipline last season. The players. or
some of them at least, knew there was
another league where they would pc wei
coined, and in many instances the payers
will be entirely different now. The play
ers will take more interest in their Worl.
because they will not be molested with
offers from a third league. and the man
ayers will be able to assert their rights
1t is reported that Iris Speaker. who
was one Of the highest priced players
in either Of the major leagues last sea-
SON, drawing s16.500. has agreed to
stand for a material cut. the amount
Of his new contract being $4,000. Owner
Iannin of the Red Sox had a salary
list last season Of $4,000, and. though
he took part in the world series, the
club made decidedly little money-not
enough, in fact. to pay a reasonable
dividend on the investment. Hence
Lannin made I'D his mind that he would
bring about a material reduction in
his salary list. and several of the play
ers have had to stand a cut, but Speak
err had to stand the brunt of the plan
to reduce expenses. For time, it is
understood, Speaker was obdurate and
refused to listen to the cut. but when
he found that Lannin would not bulge,
he is said to have acquiesced without
murmur.
Joe. Wood, another of the Sox who
was drawing big pay, was cut to $4,000,
and when he declined to accept, waivers
were asked. Catcher Cady is holding
out because Lannin will not erase the
ten-day release clause in his contract.

The chances are that Jack Dunn will
have tough row to hoe with his Inter
national League club ~ Baltimore the
coming season. The fact that Dunn has
ignored ali the stockholders in the de-
funct Federal League club of that city
is going to have a detrimental effect on
his attendance. There are q lot of Bal
timoreaus who invested money in the
Feds and, of course, lost it, and they are
going 10 be sore. Dunn could have
made himself decidedly popular if he
had allowed some of the disappointed
stockholders to buy into his club. and
thus get chance to regain some of
their losses. Under such conditions the
Dunn team undoubtedly would have
had some creditable attendance fgures
to show. but with Dunn trying to run
it alone there is good chance of his
losing lot of money.
