New Draft Ruling Will
Give TaiI-enders Chance
Under Order National League
Clubs Can't Monopolize
Minor League Players.
BRAVES BUY KONETCHY

J New York. Feb. s-The National
League magnates held brief session to-
day at the waldorf-Astoris and so-
tourned until next December. Charles
II. Ebbetts. Of the Brooklyn Club. won
his fight for new draft rule
Under the new order a club can draft
only players II actually can use, and the
tail-end club in the future VIII get first
pick This prevents a first division club
from monopolizing every player that
looks good in the minor leagues.
Harry Hampstead. Of. the Giants, tried
again to defeat the twenty-one-player
rule He pleaded for one man more, but,
AS he only had the Chicago and Boston
Clubs back OF him, the resolution was
lost.
The rule providing for the compulsory
deduction Of the salary OF a player who
is under suspension led TO a lively de-
bate.
Club owners have been a bit derelict In
living up 20 this rule. In the future,
however, II a club owner violates the rule
he will be fined $50. And IL a manager
Is suspended by the umpire he, too, must
be dropped from the pay roll until he
gets back in the game.
The twenty-one-player limit will not
apply to the reconstructed Cubs. Charles
Weeghmsn said tonight that he has un-
plus players, but he can't have more
than tventy-one players on the bench
after May l. At present the Cubs roster
includes fifty-seven varieties.
Pat Powers, agent for Harry Sinclair
unloaded three more players today. He
sold Ed. Konetchy, and Pitchers KnetzeI
and Allen, for sls,coO. George StaIlings
took the trio. Konetchy will play first
Konetchy led Benny Ksuff in extra bases
last season. He made thirty-one doubles
eighteen triples and ten home runs.

There are many bidders for the New

He is a personal friend Of Charley Com
tykey, and II Is expected that the cruz

Frank Farrell was said to be after the
