sion In regard to the proposed In
crease in mileage rates was the out
standing feature Of the special meet
ing OF the National League magnates
held here yesterday. Il was decided
to take tho matter up with the com-
mission in view Of the travelling COM
mitments made months ago when the
seasons schedule was adopted.
The advance In mileage and Pullman
rates will add considerably to the al
ready heavy expense under which the
clubs are operating. and the maGnateS
are hopeful that q special ruling can
be made. in view OF the fact that all
arrangements for the various circuit
trips were made at the very beginning
Of the season.
The question Of the effect Of Gen.
Crowder's order relative to all men Of
draft age doing essential war work or
serving with the Army or Navy also
came up for discussion. Il was de-
cided to await a formal Interpretation
Of the order and a concrete case in
volving a National League player.
A ruling was adopted to cover the
case of a player who. after Joining the
Army or Navy, secures Q furlough and
returns to his club for the purpose Of
playing one or moro gamea It was
decided that no such player should be
eligible to play unless he carried the
written permission OF his commanding
officer and unless his club was under
the twenty-tkree player limit. After
September 1 such players will not be
permitted to take part In . league
game under any circumstances.
There was no unfavorable comment
upon the present base ball conditions
the consensus OF opinion being that
the game and its support was all that
could be asked in the circumstances.
There was no disposition to discuss &
curtailing Of the regular schedule sea.

THREATENS MINOR LEAGUES.
Increase in Rail Rates May Stop
Two Organizations.

Whatever little is left of minor
league base ball now Is threatened by
the increase in railroad rates and the
abolition of the party ticket. We
hear that both the International and
the Pacific Coast leagues are consid-
ering closing their seasons on July 4.
According to the code in organized
base ball any league which completes
half Its schedule is entitled to terri
torial protection for another year. The
attendance in the international has
been very poor-that In spite of the
fact that the teams have proved far
stronger than had been expected and
that their games have been interest
