PLANS T0 BLOCK LATE SEASON DEALS Trades for Players Must he Made Prior to August 20 New York, Feb. 16.—Having fired the heavy guns of their engagemeni on Tuesday, the National league club owners shut down terday after- noos without uncovering anything of a thrilling nature. The most important ruling adopted relates to the exchange of players by clubs of the league after August 20, Such exchanges in the future can be made only by the waiver process. This ruling was adopted to prevent the shifting of players after the above date n order to strengthen certain teams fighting for a pennant. Deals such as that engineered by the Glants and Dodgers last fall, when Merkle was exchanged for McCarty, will be prohibited in the future. Both play- crs would have to be put under waiver and all clubs would have a chance atl them in the draw. The board of directors of the leagus was increased from a membership ot five to eight, including each club president. The time for reporting at training camps was changed from Marcl: 25, evidently at the request of the New York club. The playing schedule was considered and referrcd back to President Tener. The pro- gram has been practically agreed on, Tut will not be given out until after the American league meeting. The session was notable for the fact that one or two matters which were expected to feature were not taken up. The proposition to reduce the players limit from the present fizure of twenty-two men was not considered. This was first broached as a retrenchment measure' in case the country became 1avolved in war, but apparently the club owners. de- clded to await developments. It -wvas expected that the suggestion made by Capt. Huston | concerning military training in base- hall camps would draw some dis- cussion, but nothing was said of the matter. Whether or not any of the club owners look with favor on the plan was not stated. DARCY QUITS HANAGER Australian Champ Severs Connection With E. T. Sullivan—Gibbons Smith Boutso May Be Called Off. and New York, Feb. 16.—The pugilistic craft of James Leslie Darcy, middle- weight champion of Australia, now is in the midst of the most turbulent seas he has encountered since the day he embairked for America and was on tle troukled water for sixty days. Darcy s menaced by hug: breakers that roll toward him from several gi- rections. In substance, Darcy vesterday had : falling out with his manager, O’Sullivan. He tore up an agreement he signed with O'Sullivan and an- nounced his refusal to abide by matches made by O'Sullivan binding Darcy to box Mjke Gibbons and Jeff Smith in Milwaukee. The two Mil- waukee promoters, Tom Andrews and “rank Mulkern, both of whom signed articles with O’Sullivan for Darcy’s services, are at loggerheads, each claiming he will stage the above matches or there will be no fight. Furs thermore, each claims he will stage the bouts in the Auditorium, the place where all big Milwaukee bouts in the past have been staged by Andrews.
