MORE BASEBALL
CHATTER TO-DAY
The National Commission
Holds Its Annual Meet
ing at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati. Jan. THE National
Baseball Commission will hold its an
nual meeting here tomorrow, and, be
sides electing officers for the ensuing
wear. there will be two matters which
pertain 10 the peace treaty. recently
signed here, that will be taken up by
the supreme court OF baseball.
Probably the most interesting cues
ton 10 be discussed will be the status
of the PLAYERS formerly connected with
the ST. Louis Federal League Club and
the Chicago Federal League Club, in
case the Chicago Cubs are purchased
by Charles Weeghman, former presl-
dent Of the Chicago Federals.
There is some doubt as 10 whether
the payers Of these TWO Federal
League teams will b. subject to the
waiver rule OF organized baseball. 1t
is contended by some that the pur-
chase Of the ST. Louie Americans by
Phil Ball and his associates, former
owners of the st. Louis Federals,
serves the purpose Of consolidating
these two teams. Therefore, it is main
tanned, the Federal League players
should be subject to the waiver rule
Of the American League.
IN other words waivers from each
American League club would have to
be obtained on every player of the 81.
Louis Browns before they could be
disposed Of outside that league. The
same condition, it IA said, will apply
10 the Chicago National League club
in case it Is purchased by Charles
Weeghman.
Others. however. claim that all Fed
eral League players were made eligible
% organized baseball and that title
10 all PLAYERS was vested in the Fed
c-al League as league, and not as
individual clubs. If this contention
be upheld, according 10 high baseball
authority, then it will become neces-
sary for the st. Louie Americans to
purchase. i'm case they desire to do so,
the PLAYERS of the St. Louis Federal
League club in open competition. II
is argued by this same authority that
if this view IL taken then the waiver
rule will not apply TO any Federal
League player.
The other matter which has 10 do
with the peace treaty will be the fix
ing OF a date and a place of meeting
for the committee appointed TO thrash
out and settle the difficulties which
arose between the Federal and lnterna-
tioral leagues concerning the Balti-
more and Buffalo Federal League clubs.
st. Louis. Jan. Phil Ball, princi-
nal owner Of the 81. Louis Federals
and now head Of the St Louis Ameri-
cans, said tonight il was his under
standing that the players of the ST.
Louis Federal League Club would not
become subject 20 the waiver rule Of
organized baseball through his pur-
chase Of the Browns.
Furthermore" he added chat was

Without dissenting vote, City Coun-

which certain questions are asked Of tho
Board of Water Commissioners relative
to the diverting OF the water supply
from the Brandywinc. After the resoiu-
ton had passed, Councilman Oscar g
Draper, who introduced the resolution
said that the water question was cnc
of his pet hobbies.
Some years ago, Mr.. Draper said, the
Street and Sewer Department construct
ed a sewer from the Joseph Bancroft
and Sons Company's plant and gave the
Bancroft company the right to divert
one-half of the flow of the water in the
Brandywine provided they returned the
water TO the Lea Milling Company's
race. Mr. Draper said that City Solici'
tor Hastings has said that the Street

Brandywine and photographs taken OF
the stream at that time showing the di.
version of the water were now part OF
the records of City Council.
The move made last night by Coun-
ell involves the question OF water
rights, which are essential to the
citys supply. and il is expected that
the Street and Sewer Department will
reply to the resolution by next Thurs
! day evening.
The resolution follows;
