 There was no discussion of the na- tional commission situation other than that the league still favors a neutral chalrman if the three-man commission is to be continued. This matter will come up at the joint meeting tomor- row afternoon, which the Nationals went on record today as favoring as an annual affair. It was moved that President Fred Mitchell of the Chi cago club and Vice President John J.

 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 tomorrow with a request that a reply be given them by the big leagues by o'clock Friday evening
 The principal changes are expected to 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.

under the new regulation. which was adopted by vote of to ?, the maxi mum monthly salary limit during the !, playing season must not exceed s11 eco plus the managers salary. This will make the seasonal pay roll foot up ap- proximately s60,O00 for a playing period of about five and a half months. With club roster of 9 players the average will be $500 per player per month. The new rule also carries a penalty in the form of a fine of 5000 for every infrac- ton.
 In it's original form the regulation car ried a very much smaller maximum lim- it anS there was a long argument over the .sroposed rule. Several amendments, each increasing the amount, were offered in turn until the limit was raised to sl1 coo When this came to vote all the clubs except New York and Chicago voted for this maximum and 1t was de- clared carried.
 RULE TO BE ENFORCED
 No similar rule has appeared on the National league books since about 1890 when there was salary limit clause in the players contracts of $2400. The league president is given authority to enforce the new rule and has the power to have the books of any club audited in case he thinks that the regulation is being violated.
 Salary limitation was the outstanding feature of all day session of the National league and the National Association of Professional Baseball clubs. The minor organizations finally agreed upon the form of their request for the lifting of the draft regulations and the senior ma- 1or leagues went on record regarding number of proposed changes which they desire the American league to joint ly adopt at the special meeting of the two leagues tomorrow, as well as several additional alterations of their own by laws
 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 sediment 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.

GREAT SECTIONAL EXPOSITION
Preparations Under Way for Big
South Florida Fair

Tampa. - Following out their
plan of gradually developing the
South Florida fair into great sec
tional exposition, directors of the
movement are preparing to make the
forthcoming fair, the dates of which
are Feb. 16 to 21, inclusive, the most
successful of the series. The grounds
will be enlarged, buildings added,
more attractive premiums will be Of
.fered on products of all kinds, and a
larger county and individual exhibit
representation than has been record
ed heretofore is already assured.
Field Agent Howard Curry states
that more interest is now being man
ifested in the fair than at any time
since he began his work.
Particular efforts are being made
to bring out fine exhibits of beef and
dairy cattle. The heading breeding
associations of the nation have Of
fered to give as premiums 81 to
50 awarded by the Fair association,
thereby showing their interest in
Florida from a breeding standpoint.
A strong bid will be made also for
