NEW YORK. Dec. i3.-Baseball II
surely going ahead.
The new national agreement
framed by the Joint committee OF
major and minor league representa-
tives is looked upon by baseball
men here today as the most impor-
tsnt legislative step taken since the
formation OF the National League
half a century ago.
II is an instrument, they say. that
viii accomplish things beyond the
expectations of followers OF tho
game, for II is so worded as TO pro-
vide for the treatment OF unseen
, emergencies.
Perhaps the biggest feature of tho
new agreement is that IL provides
punishment for infraction OF the
rules by clubs. players and others
and for actions detrimental TO the
welfare Of the 5zme not covered by
the written WORD.
HAS GREAT POWERS.
The power granted TO Judge
Lands is broader and farther reach
ing than that held by the old ma
tional commission. but baseball men
are satisfied that IL has been placed
in the best possible hands-the
hands OF n fearless and capable ad-
ministrator.
Tho fact that future questions
which interest both major leagues
will be voted on by clubs instead
OF leagues is one of the features
OF the new document as liz the Sec
ton which empowers Judge lands
TO impose a fine as high as $4,000
on major league club for an Of
fonse detrimental to the game.
That the new agreement will DO
ratified by both major leagues Is
certainty The National League Will
adopt il at its meeting here to-
morrow. The American League
which meets in Chicago this week,
will also ratify It and the various
minor leagues are expected to follow
JlR st mss.ing in Chinago On
January 10
FAVOR ALL BUT DRAFT.
An agreement between the majors
and minors covering the draft, ter
ritorial and player protection and
other matters OF interest is to be pre-
sented TO all leagues by the minor
league committee which helped frame
both new agreements.
Each league will. of course, vote
separately on the new agreement, but
popular opinion among the minors
favors pract ically every feature en-
bodied in the document with the eZ-
ception OF the draft, against which
strong fight is being made by certain
club owners in the New International
League. and the American Association.
The chances OF the draft being re-
, stored, however. are better than eight
to one and those Directing Will. it is
believed be voted down when the
minor league body meets in January.

into session here today at the Imperial
Hotel. Difference of opinion in regard

Thirty minutes after the above

Five minutes after the Leech bloom

acted here at 8 o'clock this morning
when through mistaken identity Rob
EFT Quinn was instantly killed and
G. A. Idor probably MORALLY wounded.
As printed in The Commercial APP
peal Of today, a wholesale robbery
occurred here Thursday night, when
eight stores and the postoffce were
broken into. On Friday night a mum.
Der Of stores were broken into at
Sturgis. Under the impression that
an effort would be made to break open
more stores last night, suspicious
characters having been in town, sew
eral citizens were on guard.
r. w. Russell, R. B. Fuscher and
Robert Long were on guard in Weeks
& Russell's drug store. About 8 this
morning one Of the parties in the
store struck a match for some pur-
pose, when Robert Quinn, G. A. Idom
and Garland Weaver saw it and,
think robbers were in the house, went
to the building. Quinn took hold Of
the door and the men on guard in
the building, taking those on the out
side for burglars, fired twice through
the door from within, striking Quinn
in the neck and breaking it. He ex-
pired at once on the pavement. The
second shot struck ldom in the left
side, ranging upwards.
