New Haven, Conn, March 25.—Ed- NO COMMISSION ON DRAFT PRICE Willd Stom 1IlSlll'allce National Board Rules Mmager Ort Cannot Collect From Can- —Draft is Not a Sale in commission upheld the national board in the latter’s ruling that player and manager George R. Ort, of the St. Thomas club, of the Canadian league, was not entitled to 15 percent of the money obtained through the drafting of players. Ort had a contract call- ing for 15 percent of all money real- ized by the St Thomas club through the sale of players, but both the na- tional board and the commission held that there was a wide difference be- tween the sale of a player and the releasing of the played by draft, The notice follows: “Section 18 of the agreement with the baseball players’ fraternity reads as follows; “Before & major league player shall be released outright or under an ap- tional agreement to ClassA, or a lower classification, his services shall first be tendered to all Class AA clubs at a price not to exceed $7501. If he be a drafted player the club from which he is drafted shall have prior claim to all other clubs in its classification. “There seems to be a misundering as to the exact meaning of this particular clause. “When a major league club makes application for inter-league walvers it should at the same time notify the president of the league of which it is member whether the player will be released unconditionally, outright or under an optional agreement if walvers are obtained. An outright re- lease is construed to mean the play- er’s transfer from one club to another, either with or without a consideration and without the retention of the right to recall him. In such case the player must first be tendered to Class AA, and A clubs at a price not to exceed those stipulated in section 18. “If it is the intention of the major league club to release the player under an optional agreement, then the amount of the option price shall be not less than $300 as stipulated in rule 13 of the commission and not more than the respective amounts pre- scribed in section 18 of the fratermity agreement. “If the major league club and the claiming minor league club cannot agree on the optional price, the presi- dents of the leagues of the respective clubs shall determine the considera- tion, provided, however, it shall not exceed the amounts fixed in section 18, above quoted. “Seciion 18 does not change the sys- tem of returning drafted players as prescribed In section 9, Article VI of the national agrzeme™* and regulated by rule 32 of the < mission, in any respect. “A drafted player who has not been claimed before February 1, following his selection, becomes subject to sec- tion 18, when released by a major league to a minor leagus club.

New York, March 25.—Confidence of the bulls was shaken by the bearish | news of today. Sentiment swung to- ward the short side, and a few stocks directly affected by the day’s develop- ments were sent tumbling, but the list as a whole offered stubborn resist- tance. Speculative selling failed to provoke widespread liquidation, and al- though the general movement was downward the average loss was not se- vere. Bearish views regarding the railroad list, fostered for a long time by de- clining earnings, were accentuated by the day’s news. Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St Louis cut the divi- dends on the common and preferred. The common stock broke several points | at a time to 70, & drop of 13 points from the opewving. Later it recovered part of its loss. Pennsylvania, whose returns on its holdings of the stock are reduced at the rate of nearly $700,000 a year, was hammered down about two points. Atchison weakened on an ex- ceptionally poor statement for Febru- ary. Gross earnings declined $1,162,- 000, and operating income $595,000. For eight monihs of ‘the fiscal year ‘Atchison’s decrease in operating in- coma is $2,802,000. Northern Pacific’s February earnings were bearish. Gross decrease was given as $389,000 and net as_$250,000. Tndustrial stocks fared scarcely bet- ter in the day's developments. The weekly reviews by steel trade authori- ties were distinctly pessimistic. Buying at present was represented as extreme- 1y light, and it was said that unlees conditions improve some—of which no indications are discernible—many mills will be compelled to closs or curtail operations. tinued <o reflect the gloomy prophecies of President Benford., of the effect on { the shares of a government victory in the dissolution suit. Smelting’s annual report showed a decrease in net of $1,- 642,000, In the bond market the movement was downward.

A. Cormack, secretary of the syndicate. The yacht now building at the Herreshoff yard, Bristol, R. 1., for the syndicate, consist- ing of Henry Walters, Arthur Curtiss James, J. P. Morgan, George F. Baker, Jr., Cornelius Vanderbilt and F. G. Bourne is the second of the three de- fending candidates to be named. The Tri-City yacht has already been named Defiance, leaving the Cochran boat the only one of the trio as yet undesignated Neither A. 8, Cochran, the owner; Wil- liam Gardner, the designer, or F. D. Lawley has intimated that a title has been selected. In the selection of the names Reso- lute and Defiance the adherence to the eight letter designation is again evi- denced as was the case in the suc- cessful cup defender of past years, in- cluding the Reliance, Columbia, De- fender and Vigilant. Yachtsmen as a rule are inclined to laugh at the super- stition of luck in eight-letter name cup winners and the twelve defending yachts, a majority have borne names containing eight letters, A REMINDER FOR BALTIC. Comments on Article Written by Bal- tic Manager, To the Sporting Editor: In Wednesday morning’s paper there appeared an article stating how hard it is to win a game on the Taftville floor because of the crowd interfering and unfair referees, written by the Baltic basketball manager. It looks as if the manager had forgotten the game played in Baltic last year be- tween the Baltic team and the Laurel Hills when the latter had the game robbed from them on account of a ref- eree who allowed the Baltic team to shoot a basket after he had blown the whistle. This basket won the game for Baltic. Speaking of clean players, look at what Baltic did to the oppos ing players—broke Eddie Bellefleur's collarbone, dislocated one of Jackson's toes and rendered one player uncon- scious for several minutes. The most noticeable thing of all is that they have not given the Laurel Hills a re- turn game yet. Perhaps they are afraid to face the Laurel Hills again because t! might receive harsh treatment or don’t want to lose their reputa- tion, EY A SPBECTATOR. 480 Consol.

Starts the Season as a Regular in Gi- ant Outfield. MceGraw organized his regular team and it played together for the first time at Marlin. The organization was not complete, however, for there are a couple of cripples on the first squad, Fietcher is still unable to play and won’t be able to for at least a week, and Bescher, who was to have start- ed as a regular in centre, has bad ankles. Dyer will be the regular shortstop until Fletcher returns, It looks as if he would be the season’'s substitute for that position inasmuch as he is on the first team at present. Bescher thinks he has a bone in his foot lose or splintered or something like that. In any event, it Is all he can do to walk on it just now. Thorpe was sent to centre instead of Bescher and Snodgrass was at third for the newly yeorganizec second team. For the present he has been crowded off of the first team, but may regain his place. That depends upon develop- ments, sych as how soon Bescher gets back and how well he does when he does get back.

In America, he said, the movement started about 1836, and was in other denominations. The Methodists took up the work later, but there are many deaconesses at present in the Meth- odist church. Their work was applied, practical Christianity, doing the house- work of sic mothers, washing the floors, and tasks of that nature, like the nuns of the Catholic church.

Dr. Wilson said in part: “If wrong for the individual to drink in- toxicating beverages, to make them and to sell them, how can it be right for the community? This is the thought which we must hold until it becomes a conviction. When a man starts down hill, he finds everything greased for the oc ion,” said the speaker, who told the story of one man who went down hill in Maine, and how his down- fall led to the three and one-half years work of Neal Dow, which brought about prohibition in that state. Making “Dry” States Into “Wet.” The history of the prohibition move- ment wa traced by Dr. Wilson from its inception to the present, showing how one state after another felt the wave of reform, until 17 out of had adopted laws restraining the sale of liquor. Then came the Civil war, and while the men of the country went to the front, the brewers and liquor deal- ers stayed behind to change the “dry” states to “wet” ones. The aker made the statement that not a single brewer or distiller volunte go to the front. “For fifty he said, “this statement has been made in the press and from the pulpit and it has never been contradicted.” i the work which when but it is had been dor three “dry” ned, paying a compliment to the members of thg prohibition party, whom he said had for 45 vears been without an office. kept their banner afloat and been true to an ideal.

Dr. Oldham then reviewed conditions around the Mediterranean, saying that greater strides had been made in the last ten years than at any time since Paul, and stating that the Mohamme- dan religion, the only religion which-is not non-Christian, but anti-Christian, is now ready to sit down and talk it over. The speaker told briefly but feel- ingly of conditions in India and China, and concluded his address with the re- mark that “the greatest day of God that ever was born is just at the hori- zon, and it is about 5 in the morning. Presently the dawn will come, and there will be light, which wil bathe both the hemispheres. That day canm be hastened or retarded by the fidelfty or lack of fidelity of God's people.” Programme for Thursday.
