LANDS CALLS MEETING
 TO DISCUSS WORLDS SERIES

Chicago, July 27-Judge K NJ Landis, baseball commissioner, today called a joint meeting of the Ameri- can and National club owners here August 14, to discuss world series rules and the draft situation
 The American league club owners, meeting today, agreed to permit any American league player to participate in exhibition games after the close of the regular season, provided he ob- tains permission of his club owner and Judge Landis.
 The change in the rules is a re- suit of trouble in which Babe Ruth and two of his Yankee teammates found themselves last season.
 Harry Frazee, owner of the Boston Dugan and Elmer mith to the New York Yankees. No one else spoke on the subject and President Johnson , explained proposals to change the draft rules to eliminate mid season | trades after July 1. could not be con- | sidered until the next reg ular meet | ing.

IT WILL COST S2.5o PER GAME TO PLAY AT FAIRGROUNDS

Hereafter all games played at the Fairgrounds will turn the small sum of $2.50 into the treasury of the New London County Fair Association ac- cording to ruling made by Secretary Gilbert s. Raymond. Secretary Ray mond has notified all clubs that have been in the habit of using the Kacey diamond during the past few weeks that hereafter they must pay S2: 50 for the use of the grounds. Secretary Raymond claims that the S2.5O goes to pay for the services of a constable who sits on the bleachers and keeps the kids out of the grandstands and otherwise preserves law and order on the grounds.
 No admission is charged for these twilight games so the money must be forthcoming from the pockets of the players themselves. While the sum is small and the players themselves ac- cept the tax as inevitable, a large number of the fans seem to think that chargin for the grounds, from which ! a fair revenue is gained through the leasing of them to the Kacey team, is pretty small business.

AMERICAN LEAGUE RAISES BAN
 ON POST SEASON GAMES

Chicago, July 27-(By the A. P)- American league club owners, meet ing here today, voted to remove the ban prohibiting players from parti-
 cipating in postseason exhibition t%mes, provided they obtained the consent of the club president and then gained the permission of K, M. Lan- dis, baseball commissioner.
 This club owners said, will remove possibility of a recurrence of Nthe sit uation that prevailed last year when Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel and Bill Pier
 cy, of the New York Yankees, were fined their share of the world series receipts for participation in exhibi4
 tion games in violating of Commis-
 sioner Landis' instructions. Ruth's
 share of the receipts amounted to
 $3,5G0.
 The club owners decided, however, that players will NOT be allowed to
 participate in exhibition contests af : ter October 31. This action, it was figured will give players two or three weeks to appear in exhibition games, but will not endanger them running the games so late in the season as possibly to retract from their ability It also was agreed that not more than three players from any one club
 can play on any single team in an exhibition game. This, owners said will remove the liability of an. entire club going out under the team name at the end of the season
 The American league voted to ac-
 cept the offer of the Fine Arts com nRission at Washington to erect a tablet in East Potomac Park to com | memorate baseball. According to the plans made today, this tablet will take the form of a bronze shield and al l the end of each season the name o1 the American league player most val uable and useful to his club, will be added to the shield. Designs are tc 1 be asked immediately.
