MINOR LEAGUES PRESENTED
REQUESTS TO COMMISSION
National Body Will Consider the
Elimination of the Draft Rule

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 2.-After hearing
the request of the representatives OF
the class AA leagues relative to the
| elimination of the draft rule from
their leagues, the National Baseball
i, Commission announced here tonight
| that 1t would give careful considera-
ton to the request and then ad-
} jOurned.
The commission also heard a plea
| from the smaller leagues that at least
| it's moral influence be exerted to help
/ the minor leagues out of what was
| pictured to be a most deplorable con-
| dition. A *. Tearney, of Chicago,
president of the Three l league, act
| ed as spokesman for the minor
! leagues and urged the commission to
recommend that Il re- c1aSsihcation and
: reorganization of all minor leagues be
made with the idea in view OF elm
teams, Encouragement of the maxi
mum salary limit and other ideas that
he claimed would go far toward put
/ ting u large majority of the minor
clubs on a paying basis whereas they
are now losing propositions
The commission took this under ad-
visement but promised Mr.. Tearney
that he could rest assured that the
commission would do everything in
its power to help along the lines laid
down by him.
Previous to the night meeting Au-
gust Hermann was reelected presi-
uGtlL ana JOln Il. Bruce secretary Tor
the coming year while q large amount
of routine business was transacted and
Chairman Hermann announced that
for the first time in his recollection
every case had been disposed of ex-
cept the matters presented at to-
days meeting.
The class AA men with President
Edward Barrow, of the International
League, and President Thomas Hickey
of the American Association, as
Spokesman, presented six requests.
They are:
The elimination of that part of the
drafting rules in the national agree
ment affecting the drafting of play
ers by major league clubs from class
IA clubs.
THE elimination of that part of the
national agreement providing that
class IA players purchased by major
league clubs shall be required to report
to the purchasing club Immediately
after the purchase of the players.
Changing the method of drafting
players, first, by determining by lot
when opposite major leagues draft the
same player, which league shall Sc
cure the player instead of determining
the league and player at the same
time; second, by naming the player
drafted from class AA, clubs instead
of naming the player drafted from
class AA clubs instead of naming the
clubs first and the player afterward.
THE arrangement of the rules and
laws of the national association affect
ing territorial rights, classification.
reservation and farming or optional
agreements.
During the discussion the spokes-
ment of the class IA leagues made an
additional request to the effect that

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
HIGHER QUOTATIONS ON MARKET
United States Steel Made an Extreme
Advance of 1-3 Points.

New York, Jan. 2--Higher quota
tons, some of which were later sub
ject to variable and confusing changes,
ushered in the new year in the stock
market. Opening gains of from two
to five points, with irregular declines
and greater advances during the fore
noon, seemed to be predicated largely
on events over the triple holiday.
The general tenor of the foreign war
news was accepted by speculative in
terests as tending to make for an in
definite prolongation of the conflict,
causing extensive covering of leading
munitions and equipments. Stocks OF
that group were reinforced by the
strength of United States Steel and
other seasoned industrials, Steel max
ing an extreme advance of is points
to ITO 3-S, from which it yielded only
a fraction. Bethlehem Steel was the
conspicuous exception in its class,
losing Is points on a single sale. Gulf
States and Nova Scotia Steels were 10
points higher at their best, with to 8
for Republic Iron and Crucible, Lack
aWanna and Sloss-Sheffield Steels.
Shipping shares and motors were
most erratic, Atlantic. Gulf and West
Indies and United Fruit gaining to
over 8 points, while Mercantile Ma
rines were heavy after a brief upward
turn. The usual specialties, namely
Sugars, feathers, Papers, Industrial
Alcohol and such utilities as Ohio Gas
and Columbia Gas, were variably bet
terest.
Utah Copper led the metals to higher
levels in the first half of the session,
but that division sagged later, despite
the extra dividend declared on Miami
Copper. Realizing was evident in the
final hour, the lower trend coinciding
with reports of the cancellation of war
orders.
Rails were uneven throughout,
their course being in keeping with the
many statements of November earn
ings, some of which showed decided
losses in net earnings. Total sales
amounted to $50, 900 shares.
Weakness in marks featured the
dealings in foreign remittances, the
rate to Vienna declining sympathetic
ally.
International bonds were again ir-
regular, with some improvement in
domestic investment issues. Total sales
(par va1ue) $4,780,000.
United States bonds were unchanged

SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE

Boston, JAN 2.-Suggestions for re-

he contends, has become lost through
the advantages enjoyed by the defen-

today by President Percy D. Haughton
of the Boston National league club.
Haughton brought up the subject at
the recent meeting Of the National

from the American league to consider
revision along this line.
