BASEBALL DRAFT OPENS TODAY Though professional baseball sus- pends until after the war, the Nation- al Commission in its wisdom contin- ues to guard rights and privileges for the future. This is indicated by a notification that the privilege of the draft can be exercised as usual this fall. Major Jeague clubs, it is stated, can make their selections znd deposit notes for payment to the minor clubs from which players are claimed, such payments to be made when the play- ers have reported and been in service of the drafting club for twenty days. The commission’'s notice relative to 1918 drafts is as follows: From September 20 to September 25, inclusive, the National commission will receive and pass on the selection of players from minor league clubs by major league clubs, in accordance with the methods and regulations prescrib- €d in the national agreement and the commission’s rules supplementary thereto. Notices of selection may be filed with the secretary of the com- mission by mail or in person. | Because of war conditions the se- ;lectm’ club will not be required to {pay the draft price for the player un- !til he has reported to and been in the ‘s»ruco for twenty days, but in lien of the commission P note for the amount for collec- its twn and payment to the interested iminor league club in the event that |the player- joins such major league ;uh and is retained by it for twenty | da: 1l drafts not cancelled by proper notice to the secretary of the com- mission by or before Sept. 25 will be valid.

Although the hand of war has plucked major league baseball bodily from our national life, the sport may flourish next season on a somewhat limited scale. It is likely a semi-pro- fessional league with a national cir- cuit may be organized to replace the majors, and already baseball men in Cleveland and Chicago are preparing to-launch the scheme. The battle betwen Benny Leeonard and Ted Kid Lewis at Newark next Monday will bring together boxers who employ similar style and methods in action, and while there appears littie chance of a knockout.in cight rounds there is every reason to believe the match will be one of the inost fiercely contested in which either ever has participated. | Fred Merkle has long had a su- preme ambition—to be on a world championship winncr. When, in the fourth inning of the Wednesday gams 2t Boston, he hit home the last tally that will be scored in professional ball for perhaps ever so long, he came as close to realizing his ambition as he has approached. But again, he lost. Merkle is one of the very few play ers who have been in five world se- ries, and the only one who has ‘rep- resented three different clubs. On the r'a\ mentioned he was playing in- his 27th game of the classic, thereby top- plng Eddie Collin’'s mark by one and that of Jack Barry by two. Possibly no other player ever will figure in so many world championship contests.
