Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
B, JAMES J. CoRBETT

(Editor' note: This is the first of
 series of six articles which James J.
 Corbett has written concerning Mike
 Kelly7-'the brainiest man that ever
 stepped On a ballfield." Each story
 will relate some of the tricks that
 King Kel' executed on the diamond
 which added glory to his name and
 made his fame undying. The sec
 ond chapter will appear tomorrow)
 This is story of Mike Kelly-the inn mortal King KeI"-called by those who have followed baseball for 40 years "the brainiest man that ever dug spike into the diamond"
 Kelly sleeSs in his last long sleep but the memory of him remains fresh and undimmed by the passing years. An idol of baseball during the heydey of his greatness, even death could not move him from the pinnacle he achieved through his remarkable playing and stir ring deeds on the ball field. King kel' was to baseball what John L. Sullivan was to pugilsm. And through countless generations to come the tales of lNs greatness will be chanted and rechanted.
 The term inside play as it is applied to baseball, originated with Kelly. His ability to map out-and then execute-le- gions of new plays never seen before on a bail field. all in the twinkling of an eye, was positively uncanny. Without a ques- ton of doubt, Kelly was the trickiest ball player that ever lived. Yet in all ! his career. king Kel" never played a 1 dirty trick"
 Mike Kelly was the most lovable char acter that ever stepped on ball field, was the eulogy of Jim Hart, big league magnate of the other days. Big -hearted, ! good ma tured and genuinely sincere l that was Mike Kelly. He never knew an enemy. He was the easiest man to man. age that ever stepped on ball field as 1 far as the laws of the game was con- I cerned. Kelly never really violated g rule of baseball; never in all the years ] that he played was he accused of rowdy- 1 ism. Yet Kelly was perhaps the hard est man to discipline because of his ire 1 quent lapses from good behavior aftel 1 the game was owed. But his absolute frankness in confessing his failings, hl' | good -naturedness and his boyiSh repl. of promising to never do it again cooled the wrath of every manager that he eve l worked for
 | Many or the IrIchS lHdL IAelly cAocutS' on ball field have been lost by memory in the maize of events since his day But some still cling to glorify the base ball life of that wonderful ballplayer Kelly was on first base one day whei Joe Quinn, who followed him in the line up, hammered a sizzling grounder to
 ward second. The shortstop scooNed
 up and was about to heave the ball t
 second base for force-nut and seem l., I al l calmly idling about yard off first base
 Why didn't Kelly run for second? Tn
 shortstop held the ball and tried to pug
 gle it out And all the while Quinn wa
 scouting for first. The shortstop final shot the ball to first, beating the run ner by jump As the ball arrived a first, Kelly quickly placed his foot pac on the bag. Quinn was out-but Aot . with Kelly. And a minute later he score the winning run on long double py

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Sir, Please permit me to make sug- gestion in re the street car situation Could not the city of Birmingham set a capacity for the cars so as to regu- late the number of passengers per trip, allowing only certain per cent to stand, for instance, a car seating 40 peoS pie should not be permitted to allow over 9 per cent of it's passengers to stand.

PLAYER LIMIT ADOPTED

The National commission was instructed to prepare a new system for distribution of world series money to the players of the competing clubs and submit its find ings to the leagues at a later date for
 approval. The National league also adopted a 21-player limit similar to tha: in vogue in the American.
 It was announced that the early Feb
 ruary meeting had been dispensed with
 for the present year, and the question
 of an annual joint meeting of the two leagues was left to the discretion of the presidents of the leagues. There was no change in the salary limit situation, as far as the American league was concerned. The junior league magnates at their annual meeting in Chi cago last month refused to fix player salary limit of any kind.
 While the magnates were busy in ses- 1 sion upstairs, the managers of more than | a dozen clubs talked trades in the hotel corr idors. No deals had been closed whei. Adjournment was taken for dinner. | George Sisler, the St. Louis American
 club star signed 1919 contract with the I Browns, but Ty Cobb did not appear to 1 talk business with Manager Jennings of the Detroit team.

 Limit-Third Member
 of Commission to 1 Be Selected
By Associated Press


 immediate change in the personnel of the national commission appears likely as result of the joint meeting of the Ma tional and American baseball leagues here this afternoon. The 16 club owners of the two major leagues went on record, as favoring the retention of the three man commission, but provision was made for the election of new chairman in the place Of Garry Hermann.
 l It was decided that tie presidents of the two organizations should each select ! two members of their respective leagues | to act as a joint committee to select some person, outside of baseball to act as the 1 third man on the commission, providing such selected nominee is satisfactory to the two leagues as a whole
 1 Neither league executive named conl- mittee today, and it may be several days before the club owners for this impor- tant task are announced. No time limit l is placed upon their search for success sor to Hermann, and the latter will continue to act as chairman Of the na- tional commission until such time as a new chairman is elected. It was stated ti.at no possible candidates for the posi- ton had been named at the meeting. The major baseball associations and the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues were both ill session at | the same hour in the same hotel, but there was no combination of the two dur ing the afternoon.
 I Following the early evening recess or the majors, it was announced that the big club owners would hear the requests of the minors regarding changes in the draft rule at Il a. m. tomorrow. This
 meeting was suddenly changed, how lever, to an after dinner hour tonight. No lexL lanation of the change was offered.
 Progress was reported in the direction of closer business and playing agree
 morts between the big league combfna- jtions. The 140-game schedule was adopted
 for both the National and American
 leagues, and the latter announced that tits playing dates would be published Tuesday, January 21. A no-recall oi waiver rule was adopted by the Amer : ican league similar to that adopted by : the Nationals yesterday, and the ruie ] was also made binding as far as inter, : league waivers were concerned
