CHANGES PROPOSED.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-Proposed
changes in the national commission and
in the rules governing the worlds series
and the demands made by the minor
leagues comprised the most important
business at the joint session today Of
the American and National baseball
leagues. 1t had been proposed to have
q one-man national commission or if
that proposition failed OF sufficient sup
port, its hackers asked for a neutral
chairman of the three-man commission.
Changes in the rules governing the
worlds series suggested by the National
league would include paying the play
ers on a percentage basis as far as the
money awards are concerned, dividing
a portion Of the players pool among the
players of the fou leading clubs as was
done last year, and the organization de-
ctded that the club participating should
turn back to the league treasury so per
cent of its share of the gate receipts
instead of % per cent as in the past.
The demands drawn up by the Ma
tional Association of Professional Base
ball clubs, which by ONE were termed
revolutionary, were subpitted to the
major leagues after their joint session
convened, The principal demands were
for relief from the present draft rule
board on which major leagues and the
minors shall have equal representation.
The minors ask that the major leagues
be limited to taking one player for each
Of the class IA clubs, between Nov. 1
and 10 each year and that the price
be set at $500. The present draft is
81, 800 for class AA players.
No major league official would dis
cuss the demands of the minors.

Robert Fl. Baugh, of Birmingham, who
~retires to devote his time to personal
business The new mar is a we'll
known Memphis lawyer and sportsman,
a great lover Of baseball and one who
knows how to handle its administrative
affairs. He has for several years been
president of the Memphis club. A col
active participant in civic affairs, Mr..
Martin Is a man of parts. He studied
law at the University of Virginia and
hung out his shingle in Memphis, where
he practiced his profession for IL years.
When war doomed he dropped his law
books and took the training course for
an officers commission in the army at
the PlattsburE camp, but the govern
ment needed him more in civil life and
he was made secretary of the district
draft board of West Tennessee, where
he served faithfully and well. as the
record Of handling 10000 cases to the
satisfaction of all concerned shows. He
comes Of an old Southern family of
high ideals and he couples with his
heritage an open mind and liberality
that has made him one OF the most
popular figures in Memphis. He will
face new problems as the president Of
a baseball league, but his friends say
he will meet them in the old Martin
way, which means a successful admin
iStration."

WORLDS SERIES
RULES CHANGED
Team to Turn Back so Per
Cent Instead of rs.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-Changes in
the present worlds series rules also
were favored and will be discussed
with the American league at the joint
meeting today. 1t is proposed to amend
the rules placing the players upon a
percentage basis as far as the money
awards are concerned, without fixing a
maximum or minimum amount as was
the case last season, Dividing a por-
ton of the players pool among the men
Of the first four clubs, as in the past,
was advocated. 1t was also decided that
in the future the National league club
participating in the series shall turn
back 50 per cent Of its share Of the
gate receipts to the league treasury in
place of the usual 25 per cent.
There was no discussion of the ma
ttonal commission situation other than
that the league still favors a neutral
chairman il the three-man commission
come up at the joint meeting this af-
t%ernoon.
About 30 representatives Of 10 minor
baseball leagues, all members Of the
national association, held a protracted
session. They discussed proposed
changes in the national agreement,
which will be presented to the joint
meeting of the National and American
leagues today with a request that a
