 NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-National league baseball players will receive an unpleasant surprise with their 1919 contracts as a result of the magnates action today in adopting a club salary limit of not more than S1l.0O0 per month. This is the most radical finan- cial rstrenchment attempted by a ma jor league in years and will prove a startling upset to those diamond stars who have expected continuation of the high salaries and long time con- tracts of pre-war days.
 Under the new regulation, which was adopted by a vote of six to two, the maximum monthly salary limit during the playing season must not eX- ceed S11. .OO0 plus the managers salary. This will make the seasonal pay roll foot approximately $60,000 for a play ing period of about five and a half months. With a club roster of 22 play CTS the average will be $500 per play CT per month. The new rule also car ries a penalty. in the form of fine of S5000 for every infraction.
 Long Argument
 In its original form the regulation carried a very much smaller maximum limit and there was a long argument over the proposed rule. Several amend ments, each increasing the amour. were offered in turn till the limit was raised to S11.000. When this came to a vote all the clubs except New York and Chicago voted for this maxi mum and it was declared carried.
 Salary limitation was the Outstan0- ing feature of all-day sessions of the National league and the National Asso- citation of Baseball clubs. The minor organizations finally agreed on the form of their request for lifting the draft regulations and the senior ma jOr leagues went on record recording number of proposed changes which they desire the American league joint ly to adopt at the special meeting of the two leagues tomorrow as well as several additional alterations of their own bylaws.
 Amend Waiver Rule
 The league desired to amend the waiver rule so players cannot be re- called once waivers are asked and also stated that it was the sentiment of the organization that a similar rule was desirable with the American league, to cover cases of players waived from one league to the other No action was taken on the player limit, it being de- cided to consult with the American league magnates tomorrow in order that the lowest possible limit may be agreed upon. The present regulations call for 21 players in the American league after May 15, and 22 in the Ma tiOnal.
 The NauOnals aIsO re-adOpted the rule barring the beginning of spring practice earlier than 30 days before the opening of the season. This will permit the clubs, to operate after March Z3 and President Heydler stated that since this date falls on Sunday he would consider the pres ence Of the players in camp on the previous Saturday within the letter of the rule. Sending pitchers to boiling out camps at the expense of the clubs previous to this date also will be con sidered a violation.
 World Series Rules
 Changes in the present world series rules also were favored and will be discussed with the American league at the joint meeting tomorrow. It is proposed to amend the rules placing

 Decide on Joint Statement
 Hitherto it has been the practice of the governments taking part in the preliminary peace conferences, says a statement given out by the official press bureau. to issue separate com muniques regarding the proceedings. From today it has been decided to is- sue a joint communique, of which the following is the English text adopted by the British and American delega- tiOns:
 "The president of the United States and the prime ministers and foreign ministers of the allied powers, assist ed by the Japanese ambassadors in Paris and London, held two meetings today. In the course of these meet ings the examination of the rules of the conference has been continued and almost completed.
 National Representation
 Tt was decided that the United States. the British Empire, France. Italy and Japan should be represented by five delegates apiece. The British dominions and India, besides, shall be represented as follows: Two delegates respectively from Australia, Canada, South Africa and India, including the native states, and one delegate from New Zealand.
 Brazil will have three delegates, Belgium. Greece, Poland, Portugal, the Czecho-Slovak republic, Rumania and Serbia will have two delegates apiece; Siam one delegate, and Cuba, Guate- mala, Haiti, Honduras, Liberia, Mica ragua and Panama one delegate apiece.
 Montenegro will have one delegate, but the rules concerning the designa- tion of this delegate shall not be fixed until the moment when the political situation in this country shall have been cleared up.
 The meeting adopted the following two general principles:
 "One-Each delegation being a unit, the number of delegates forming it shall have no influence upon its status at the conference.
 IWo-ln the selection or US deiega- ton each nation may avail itself of the panel system. This will enable each state at discretion to entrust its interests to such persons as it may designate.
 The adoption of the panel system will in particular enable the British Empire to admit among it's five dele gates representative of the domin- ions, including New Foundland, which has no separate representation, and of India"

 There was no discussion of the ma tiCnal commission situation other than that the league favored a neutral chairman if the three-man commission is to be continued. This matter will come up at the joint meeting tomor- row afternoon IL was moved that President Fred Mitchell of the Chi cago club and Vice-President John J. McGraw of the New York club. both of whom are managers of the teams. be permitted to represent the league at the coming joint meeting, but the motion was lost, four to.four
 The National league schedule calling for l40-game season was considered and referred back to the schedule com mittee for approval and publication. About 30 representatives of ten 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 Amer ican leagues tomorrow with a request that a reply be given them by o'clock next Friday evening.
 The principal changes recommended refer to the present draft rule and the formation of a new governing board on which the two major leagues and the National association would have equal representation. The board would settle all disputes or complaints in- volving major and minor leagues only.
 The minors proposition regarding the draft rule is that major league clubs may arbitrarily purchase one player from each club in class A for s7500 between November l and lO In case the player is not retained for the entire season he is to be resold (out- right title) to the club from which he was purchased, for S25O0, and in the event that club valves priority, he is to be offered to all the clubs in the same classification for S1000, except the club that sold him.
