"nTcrjlh'ns is -.el for the arrival of Gavvy," said President Maker yes lerdny, "There are manj things to be done before we leave for the South and Cra-vath will be kept bun.

"All of the coutrHfis hae breu sent out, but it is too early to hear from the playcr. Sonic hae stated that they would rather talk to Gavvy about tieit fceaon and arc waiting for his arrhal here. "Gavvy also has a large bundle of mail to answer. Hundreds of joung balrplayers nre anxious to rcceie a trvout at the training camp and there might be some good prospects iti the list.

The two new rules, adopt a schedule. transact other business and elect a cuairman ot tuc national commission. This is one of the m(it important gatherings the magnates have had in tome time. The firevorks v ill begin on Sunday, when the rules committees of the leagues get together ami take action ou abolishing th (-pitbull and other al leged illegal forms of delivery, ritohcrs like Hod Kller, Cicotte and other shine artists will experience considerable difficulty in getting by on the mound'' It the legislation is put through. The idea is to allow the old birds to use their stuff one more jear and then adopt the legal delhcry. No new spit ball pitchers will b allowed in the league this year. AH of which means more work for the poor, downtrodden umpires. Tliose gujs will be forced to make a ruling on every ball pitched and they will come in for some severe panning before the scafou is over. However, they are uod to it by this time andfshouldn't mind. The next big stuff will be the meetings of the club owners' managers, who will circulate in the lobbies trying to put over trades which will .trengtheo the clubs. There has btvu little trading going on this seasou, and the time has come for a few big deals to be sprujig. Miller Huggins Is in the market for an outlielder, MeGravv wauls a few inrjclders, Hnd ercrjbody is looking for high class pitchers. No one can tell what will hap pen, but it looks likp a very busy session. Of rour-e, the Three Musketcorn, meaning the Colonels Iluppert and Houston Frazp and Comtskej, membtTS of the antl -Johnson Admiration Society, will be there and it is said these recalcitrants will not attend the American League meeting ou Tuedaj . They feel they are not wanted or something like that, but will be very much in evidence at the joint meeting. They probably have something tint to spring to baffle Ban. TJfC lUTOin A.T election of a .Vaiiona! Commiuion ehaumau will 6c eaacrly awaited for. There i joint talk of putting Gany Herrmann bwk on the job as a com promise candidate, but this should not be taken scrtously. Garry is out for good, as far as the Xational League m concerned, and -lohnson will not be able to put him over. The leading candidates are Judge Landis, Bill Vdicards and John Foster.
