The new agreement with the American league; which'is'to‘run’ for 25 years, was adopted and formally signed by each of Lhe. eight clubs: and President Heydler.

The 1320 ‘Beason, satd President Heyd— ler, proved the -most mwentnl in the history. of th eul lfuon Dnrine forcement of new, pitching rules, said Mr. Heydler. A constitutional amendment was adopt- #d which provides that when waivers are ked on players the waivers may be | vithdrawn.- Under the present rule when waivers are asked and a club puts in a | slaim fon the player the transfer must be | ronsummated. The league voted to recommend to the | new advisory council created under the new agreement that spitball pitchers now playing in the leazue be permitted to use trat delivery until ti:e end of their careers in the league. This action was taken as a result of a communication from Pitcher Bill Doak of the St. Louis club and af- fects seevral other players besides him self. Doak in his communication de- clared that if the srittball were barred it would deprive' those pitchers of their earnipg power as nlayers. President Dreyfuss of Pittsburgh was named to act with Fresident Heydler as a committee to draft tle schedule for next season. The 1920 pennant was awarded official- 1y _to Brooklyn, “The new board of directors elected in- cludes August Herrmann of Cincinnati, C. H. Ebbets of Brooklyn, William F. Baker of Philadelphia-and Samuel Breadon of St. Louis. When asked if anything had Been_done in the Herzog-Bentcn controversy, Presi- dent Heydler said the matter did) not come ‘beforé the meeting. He said, how- ever; that the league as a league had nothing against Herzog. He said ne had investigated to the limit the charge made by Benton' that Herzog had offered a bribe Lut wa .sunable to get sufficient substantiation. Pertondlly, Mr. Heydler aid, He ‘dld not see how the league could permit the -career of a player like Herzog to be ruined by an unsupported ‘staténierit.” He said the whole matter rel- ative to both players would be sfttled e- fore the opening of the season. ‘There’was much (alk of trades between the various clubs, but not a single deal was made. It was announced that Connie Mack and Branch Rickey had agreed upon tentative plans for a-series of exhibition games in the south between the Philadel- Phis’ Athletics ‘and the St. Louia: Cardi- nals.
