Only three nutouts prevented the Cincinnati team from breaking New York's winning streak, the second half of the fifth inning when the game was alled. . Perritt pitched for New York, while Schneider. who was knacked oui of the box on Wednesday, pitched for Cin- cinnati. Before the game Christy Mathewson, manager of the Cincinnati team and former New York pitching idol, was presented with an order for a $1,000 gift of local admirers, Superbas Wallop Pirates. Brooklyn, N. Y, Sept. 15.—The Su- perbas won a race against rain today and by beating Pittsburzh S to 1 in five innings éncreased their lead over adelvhia to two full games. Eight including a home run drive by Wheat with the bases full, netted the Superbas eight runs in the second in- ning. Two of the hits were lucky Tex- s leaguers, but the rest were clean drives, Wheat's home run going far or Hinchman's head to the left field 1. Tt was the 23th straight game in which Wheat had registerea one or more hits. Marquard was in great form after the first inning, in which a_single, a acrifice and a double gave the Pirates their run.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 15.—Seventy- four minor league players were draft- ed by the m: ar the meet- ing of the National Baseball Commis- on and representatives of every ma- jor leazue club here today. Of this number the American league obtained forty-seven and the National twer even. These latter ficures do not signify that the league was pro- portionately more lucky in ithe draw than the National, but that President Johnson's orzanization had a large majority of the drafts, the Philadel- phia Americans alone making an e fort to obtain ¥ through this_method 2 I procedure. Of the that Connie Mack attempted to get twelve were forthcoming to him whe of lots had been completed. He was | surpassed, however, by the Chicago Americans, who obtained fourteen player Next in point of number came the Cleveland Americans and he Chicago Nationals with seven each, while the New York Americans corralled five. Cincinnati, Brooklyn and the St. Louis Americans each ob- ained four while Detroit, Boston Na- tionals and Pittsburgh came aws: with three each. The New York Na tionals, St. Louis Nationals, Philadel- phia Nationals and Washington each eceived two, while the Boston Amer- retired from the meeting room it the end of the draw without a sin- gle_plaver. That the minor leazue field has been picked over rather thoroushly tor sood material through the pro- cess of purchase was indicated by the fact that in no individual case was there any exceptionally keen compe- tition, the majority of the players be- ing dr: by a single _club, he Cleveland club originally drafted Haas of Wilkes-Barre, ved their draft_on him : obtained b; the Chicago The same thing happened to McTigue, of To- ronto, who was originally drafted by | the New York Nationals, but went to the Chicago Nationa viien New York cancelled their draft. At the beginning of the meeting it was announced that the major league clubs would he permitted to take five days in which to selcct their players from the class A and class AA clubs. Directly following the drawing of lots, however, this decision was changed and a ruling was made that the se- lections would have day. This rule ws exceptions, whom they will take from Indianapolis and Baltimore: Chicago icans being_undecided relative to Montreal and Richmond; and Washington an- nouncing that they would choose later from St. Paul. When the official list was compiled late today it was discovered that the Philadelphia Americans had obtained hauer from Louisville; that the Cleveland club obtained Dickerson from Dothan and that Flanmgan had gone to the Chicago Nationals from Muscatine, Towa. Every major league team was rep- resented at the meeting, while numr. ous minor league magnates also ap- peared. “ollowing the open meeting in which the drafts were drawn, the National Commission went into executive ses- sion and announced that it would take up the proposition to allow the lead- : clubs in both major icagues to print their reserved scat tickets for the next world series. The propo: tion was broached owing to the clos ness of the two races and the delay that would be bound to occur in get- ting these tickets out should neither race be decided within the next two weelks, Drafts blow included: Durning, Portland, first: Deiroit second Gleason, Lynn, Mass, Pittsburg only.
