NATIONAL LEAGUE

New York December 12.-Compared with the excitement attending the Ma tional league meeting yesterday, when the reelection of President Tener on his own terms and the sale of Philadelphia star battery, Alexander and Killifer, to Chicago were the main features, today's session of the meeting was without in- cident Most of the business which oc- cupied the club owners up to adjourn ment at a late hour tonight was of routine order.
 The length of next seasons playing schedule and the possible reduction of the player limit were Informally dis cussed, but both were unanimously de- ferred until the National league repre- sentatives hold joint conference with the American league club owners in Chi cago Friday or Saturday.
 CONSTITUTION AMENDED
 The constitution was amended so that there can be no dispute in future, as as to there being no appeal to the board of directors from the findings of the league president in imposing a heavy fine for scandalous conduct on or off the
 field. An appeal may be taken, how ever, if a player be suspended for a pe- riod of more than 10 days.
 There was an attempt to change the rule so that waivers might be withdrawn, but it was agreed that the present waiver rule should remain intact.
 NEW PLAN OF PROFITS
 The league unanimously went on rec ord in favor of the creation of a new plan of dividing the players part of the worlds series receipts. Based on the returns of the five series prior to 1917, the players on clubs finishing as far down as seventh place will receive a prove an incentive to greater effort in playing by second division teams toward the end of each season Under the new plan it was computed that each player on the winning club would receive about $2500 and the losing players in the series would get about $1sO0 each.
 The league will set aside one day at each ball park during the season on which 25 per cent of the gate receipts will be donated to the Clark Griffith bat and ball fund.
 EXPECTED AFTERMATH An expected aftermath of the Inter- national league meeting developed when Edward G. Barrow, president of that organization, announced that he would resign on February F. This is the date set for the next meeting of the Inter- national league, at which time the club owners will vote on the question of con- tinuing the game during the 1918 sea- son.
 Barrow whose salary was reduced from $75O0 to $2500 at Tuesdays meeting, did not attempt to conceal his feelings toward the International league mag mates. He stated that he was through with baseball so far as it concerned that organization. He said he knew nothing of reports that he would be engaged as president of the Boston American league club.
 President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club received a telegram today from Pitcher Edward J. Pfeffer stating that he had enlisted for army service. Ebbets re- piled, congratulating Pfeffer and wish ing him success.

NO GOVERNMENT LOAN

The railroads, it was reiterated, arc not seeking a government loan or repeal of anti-pooling laws. They be- lieve that measures already taken for the common cause of equipment and trackage will bring relief from con gestion, though government approval of railroad credit will be necessary if the roads are to raise capital that will be needed next year.
 The President was told of steps all ready taken by the operating commit tee of eastern executives to clear choked terminals. These measures, the war board said, already are showing results and if given time the roads can put traffic on basis as nearly normal as possible considering the great amount of freight they are asked to transport.
 NONESSENTIALS
 Attention was called to the roads rec concentrations of a month ago that the government deny transportation to more than 500 commodities classed as nones- sentials. An order of this character, the Presidents callers insisted, would have to be issued eventually, whoever OPti dlSo lHS iOdoS, SlllCc tllSlC lS HUI . traffic than can be moved.
 After seeing the war board members the President received the legislative representatives of the four railroad brotherhoods who came to Washington to urge that there be no repeal of leg islation assuring the safety of railroad workmen. The railroad men were par ticularly concerned over reports that Congress might be asked to repeal full crew and safety appliance acts.
 TRAINMEN PRESENT
 The representatives were II. F.. Wills of the engineers, P. J. McNamara of the iiremen, w. M Clark of the conductors and w. N. Doak of the trainmen.
 Orders transferring 100 locomotives from western lines to the east were made public tonight by the war board. The engines will be started east with in the next 24 hours to be used by the more heavily burdened lines. They will be furnished by the western lines in proportion to the number each owns. Announcement tonight from New York that the eastern operating committee had declared an embargo on export freight except for government supplies was hailed by war board members as one of the most effective moves made yet toward relieving congested condi- tions.

RAILROAD HEADS THINK THEY CAN
 SOLVE PROBLEM But They Are Willing to Co., Operate With President
 in Any Decision CONFERENCE IS HELD TO OUTLINE VIEWS Men Who Control Lines Reiterate They Are Not Seeking Govern
 ment Leans or Repeal of
 Antipooling Laws

Washington, December 12.--Thc rail- road view of the transportation prob lem and it's solution was laid before President Wilson today by the five members of the railroad war board.
 At the conclusion of the confer ence Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the board. announced that the whole sit uation had been cnnvassed thorough fy. but that no decision had been reached. It was the general opinion to- night that the President would study the subject further before making known his intentions.
 Whatever course he decides on will draw the fullest cooperation from the railroads, the President was told, even if his plan is government operation, strongly urged by many of his ad- visers. The railroads, however, the war board made clear, are of the opin- ion that they themselves can meet the situation if given time They regard as their first need a centralization of control of government traffic in the hands of a federal traffic manager. Priority orders without number com ing from various government depart ments, they said, is doing more to slow up freight movement than any
