NOPLAYERS TO
BE TRANSFERRED
AFTER JUNE Is
Permit Clubs to Garry

That Date, However.
tEy The Associated pres..)

New York. Dec 16.-Major league
baseball magnates in joint session
here damned the brakes on late sea-
son sales and thus checked for a time
at least h outcry against the buy
Ing Of pennants". This was accom-
plished by passing of q rule which
prevents the transferring Of players
from one club to another In the major
leagues without waiver process after
June 10. Heretofore such deals were
possible up to August /. Under the
new regulation the manager Of a team
after. June IS, can not increase the
playing strength Of his club except
by purchase of players from the min.
or leagues.
To Offset this rule, the clubs next
season will be permitted to carry II
roster of 40 players up to June Is
in place of May"15, and the addition
al month will enable them to expert
ment and ascertain the value Of
crease the maximum number Of play
ers permitted any n club previous
to June Is, from 40 to SO was lost
after the National league had voted III
favor of it and the American against
it. when Commissioner lands ruled IN
the negative. However. major league
clubs hereafter will be permitted to
have Is players out under option in
place Of eight. The proposal to per-
nit a player being held under option
for three years in place Of two was
defeated. >
Dates Still Disagree
There was no discussion Of the sug-
gested return to nine games in place
of the present seven in the world series
n no agreement was reached be-
tween the two leagues to open up on
the same day next season. As the
situation stands. the National is due
to begin the 1929 play on Tuesday,
April II, and the American league on
Wednesday, April IS. 1t appeared
to be the general opinion. however.
that when the schedule committees
meet in February this confusion Of
opening dates would he rectifed. The
so-called lively ball and the supera-
in the magnates' conference, accord
ing to official announcement.
1t was decided that the drafting
rules should be amended to permit
the drafting eason to the
first day of the world series each year
n that the draft meeting shall be
held in the city where. the first world
series game is played. The waive.
rules were changed to provide that a
club asking waivers. on a player and
then withdrawing such waiver re-
quest must do so within As hours after
notice Of claim, or forfeit right to
such player.
1t was also resolved tina the major

the two fastest guards in the. state.
McCracken will be used for the un-
ming work because Of his ability to
shoot. A

WINBURN VOICES
HOPE FOR YEAR
Many Encouaging Features In
Outlook, Declares President
of Central of Georgia

Reviewing transportation condi-
tons of 1921, and discussing the out.
look for 1922, President w. A. Win
burn of the Central of Georgia rail
way, has some very interesting things
to say.
He points out that although con-
ditions last year were unsatisfactory
such may be expected as the after.
nlath of war, and do not indicate any.
thing unsound or fundamentally
wrong with the South.
He asserts that there are many
encouraging features in the. outlook
for 1922, provided agriculture, com
Fiheree and industry adapt themselves
to the demands of the times
In line with the Central of Geor
gia's well-known policy of taking the
public into it's confidence, he tells the
results of the past year in transpor
tation, and the plans of railway man
agement for the coming year.
/ Although railways in the South
made less than two per cent upon
their property investments, in the
| face Of drastic economies, many rate
concessions were made to shippers in
this section, some of which Mr.. Win
burn enumerates. He calls attention
to the saving to the public by the re-
Emoyal of the war tax on freight and
passenger receipts, the ten per cent
reduction on agricultural products
and the abolishing of the surcharge
for passengers in sleeping and parlol
cars. Further reductions are pledged
