Baseball Commission Will De-
eide Who Owns Outlaws.
Annual Meeting of Body Begins
in Cincinnati Today.

Cincinnati o., Jan. 3.-Probably the
most important matter to be taken up
BY the national baseball commission at
its annual meeting here today will be
the status of players connected with
the st. Louis and Chicago Federal
league clubs in case Federal club own
ers purchase the Chicago National and
St Louis Americans.
There is some doubt as to whether
the players of these two Federal
league clubs will be subject to the
waiver rule of organized baseball. 1t
is contended by some that the pur-
chase of the st. Louis Americans by
Phil Ball and his associates of the st.
Louis Federals. serves the purpose of
consolidating the two teams There
fore, it is commended the Federal league
players should be subject to the waiver
rule of the American league.
To Get Waivers.
In other words, waivers from each
American league club would have to
be obtained on every player of the st.
Louis Browns before they could be
disposed of outside that league. The
same condition, it is commended, will
apply to the Chicago National league
club, in case it is purchased by Charles
Weeghman.
Others, however, claim all Federal
league players were made eligible to
organized baseball and that titles to
all players were vested in the Federal
league as a league and not as indi-
Vidual clubs. If this contention is up
held. according to a high baseball
authority. then it Will become neces-
sary for the st. Louis Americans to
purchase, in case they desire to do so,
the players of the St Louis Federal
league club in open competition. 1t
is urgued by this same authority that
if this is upheld, then the waiver rule
win not apply to any Federal league
player.
Settle With 1. l..
The other matter which has to do
with the peace treaty will be the fixing
of date and a place of meeting for
the committee appointed to thresh out
and settle the difficulties which arose
between the Federal and International
leagues concerning the Baltimore and
Buffalo Federal league clubs.
Chairman August Hermann an
nounced that a large number of cases
would be discussed by the commission,
but there were none of an exceptional
nature. The annual election of Off
GERS will also be held at the meeting.
