NATIONAL BOARD
 MAKES IMPORTANT
 RULING ON SALES
Purchase Price for Minor League Must Not Be Paid by the Majors Until
 Player Reports

Cincinnati. August 20.-The enroll ing of ball players in the United States army and navy will have little or no effect financially on those clubs desir- ing to purchase or obtain by draft the players In leagues of lower classiIi- cation. The national baseball commis sion today issued a notice to the ef- feet that the status of all players oo- tained by recall under optional agree ments would remain the same no mat ter when the player was called for military or naval duty.
 With men drafted from the ranks of the minors the draft price shall not be paid over until the player actually enters the service of the club which purchased him. In case the drafted player enters the military or naval service between the time he Is drafted and the time Ne is ordered to report the club which would have obtained his services has the privilege of can ceiling its draft.
 The clause relating to purchased players says:
 "A major or minor league club which purchases player will have no right to the return of the amount actually paid by it for his release If the player joins it, even if he is sub sequently drafted into the military or naval service, but in that event all deferred payments shall be stayed un- til the player again reports to the pur- chasing club and 1t has had req sonable opportunity to try him out and determine whether 1t desires to retain him. If retained the deferred payments must be met; if he is not re- tained, he shall revert to the selling club"

You are the first man who has ever given the fans of the south real first-elass wrestling, and l have been more than pleased to nota the liberal patronage accorded you. I think your Lewis-zbyszko match will be great Everybody know up here is go- ing. We were astounded when we learned that you had fixed the scale of prices so reasonable.

EHan1's Single, Which Bounded, Puts Barons
 Out of the Running
Both Hill and Black Were Ineffective Against the Batsmen of the Volunteers, Who Took Advan- tage of Every Break Made-Elam and
 Haworth Elected for Grumbling

Nashville August 20.- Especially )-Around three double plays and two wild throws may be woven tale of the downfall of the Bafons, in the opening engagement with the Vols this. afternoon, which re- resulted in a to 1 victory Neither Car men Hill nor Karl Black pitched bewilder- ing ball against the Ellamites, but the scoring could have been held to a closer basis but for leakage and bad breaks, through which filtered the decision.
 BREAKS WITH VOLS
 The breaks went to the Vols. Only one, decision in the ninth, when Caton was called safe after being trapped off first, was secured by the Barons. Twice with runners on first and none out, a Baron batter walloped sizzling line drive straight at Vol infielder. Roy Ellam speared one and Tom Sheehan clung to the other scorching drive. Both were converted into double deaths. Still Joe Decatur applied the breaks in the pinches, and despite the fact that the Vols line- Up was wrecked when Roy Ellam was banished for protesting decision at sec ond in the fifth inning, he was accorded hawless support The opposite was true for the Barons. Their fielding was mis- erable. Their base-running was even worse.
 single by Mcdonald and a double 10 left by Webb failed to produce a run for the Barons in the sixth. In the seventh, with one out, Johnston doubled; Sheehan dropped a Texas leaguer back of second; Marshall recovered the ball and made a wild throw to the plate, but for some reason Doc" made no effort to score. sheehan, thinking he would try, for q tally, set sail for second.

Douglas Waters Eliminates the Jap Star-Champion Williams Is Easy

Forest Hills, N. Y. August 2o.--Un- expected tennis play by some of the older entrants in the national patriotic singles tournament was the feature of the first and second rounds completed here after an all-day session on the turf courts. Holcombe Ward of Sea- bright. N. J., singles champion in 1904. started the upsets by defeating S. H. Voshell of Brooklyn, e-4, 1-6, 6-3
 Voshell was selected by many as the probable winner of the tournament in view of his victories earlier this sum mer over both Strachan and Throck- morton. Ward won rather easily. how ever, his short court and chop stroke play throwing his younger opponent entirely off his game. Ward continued into the second round at the expense of Cedarhurst. N.

 Seiichiro Kashio, the Japanese player from Tokio, survived the first round, but was eliminated in the second by Douglas Walters of New Orleans. Beaver Falls, Pa, in three deuce sets in the forenoon, but went down quickly before the southern expert, 6-3, 6-4.
 The Tokio entrant lacked severe ser vice and, aside from a heavily topped drive and considerable endurance, did not give the exhibition that Kumagae gave last year on American courts.
 R. Norris Williams II of Boston, the present champion, had little difficulty in eliminating Walter L. Pate of New York and l.. G. French of Mont Clair, N. J., in straight sets, three games be- ing the largest number scored against him in any one of the four sets. The champion showed excellent form in plac1nB, ana when ne cut IOOSe IL was evident that he had not lost either the accuracy or severity of the game which made him so formidable year ago.
 The California contingent also was very much in evidence. John R. Strachan of San Francisco went the first round by default and won from Elliot Bnzen of New York, 6-1, 6-4, in the second. Clarence J. Grif- fin, also of San Francisco, won his place in the third round in an easy fashion at the expense of c. w. Mac Mullen of New York, and Ludlow Van Deventer of Plafnfeld, N. J. The spe- cial exhibition between Miss Mlla of New York and Miss Mary Browne of San Francisco held the at- tention of a large gallery late in the afternoon, Miss Bjurstedt winning, 7-5, 36 6-3.

The game was marred by continual wrangling. Elam was elected in the fifth when he protested a decision at second base, when Lester Sheehan was called safe on theft. Ray Haworth was chased off the coaching lines and later banished for an inoffensive remark to .Cy Morgan. He merely twitted Cy about his voice.
