Ratification of the sale of tho Boston club, curtail ment of players' salaries and adoption of legislation providing for punish ment of players who permit the use of their name Ir writing: newspaper stor ies on world series games, a re the im portant questions to be considered at a two-day meeting of the American League, which opens here to-day. Economy will be urged by President Johnson, who asserted that the game has been conducted on an extrava gant basis and every expense, includ ing salaries, must be curtailed. He said he 'plans to offer a resolution providing for punishment of players who write for newspapers or permit the use of their names in connection with newspaper stories. The sale of the Boston club to H. H. Frazee and Hugh J. Ward.- of New York, will be ratified without opposi tion, it was said to-night. Frazee an nounced that he hoped to retain Wil liam Carrlgan as manager. Action by the league as a unit seek ing the reduction of salaries appar ently was favored by some of the league leaders, including the presi dent, while others were inclined to leave the matter in the hands of the respective managers. The club owners had before them for discussion a new form of players' contract which includes the liability clause; proposals to prevent star play ers from writing reviews of World's series games for newspapers and the matter of posting the scores of all Na tional League toaiug on American League score board™ New Bowling Record in Academy Duckpin League Knola V.

HEADQUARTERS FOB SHIRTS SIDES & SIDES , , 5 - •' " tfZKRISBTOG ffißV TELEGPAPH NATIONALS BUSY WITH NEW RULES Fighting Majors'Do Much Talk ing; Questions of Importance Are Taken Up New York, Dec. 14. 'the much advertised bofct, Battling Barney Drey fuss vs. Voung Garry Herrmann, was averted for another tense day's ses sion of the National League magnates, convened hero yesterday at the Wal dorf-Astoria in their annual meeting. Battling Barney put in a good day's work, however, with Hammering Har ry Hempstead, the Giants' president, as sparring partner. The question that caused the quar rel between Dreyfusa and the New York president hinged on the player limit amendment. Dreyfuss argued that college players who had never been used in a professional game ought not to be counted in the list of 22 players each club is restricted to. Hempstead held that any player sign ed to a contract and sitting on the club bench should figure in the list, it was finally decided that the only way to keep such players off the list was to not sign them up. Admission Fee Stands There has been considerable desul tory outside talg about the magnates putting a crimp in the 25-cent admis sions, but apparently the club owners here are too busily engaged with other subjects to yet give it serious atten tion. President Baker, of the Phillies, put his amendment before the league rela tive to trading players within the league after August 1. The amend ment was turned over to the Constitu tion committee for proper arrange ment and drafting, to be voted on at the February meeting. It will prevent contending clubs from strengthening themselves unfairly in the thick of the pennant fight. !By unanimous vote the league will take adequate care of John B. Day. former owner and one of the founders I of the New York club, during the rc | mainder of his life. This veteran re cently suffered from a paralytic stroke. Presidents Ebbets, Dreyfuss and Secretary Heydler were appointed a committee to draft suitable resolutions on the recent death of former Presi dent-Secretary N. E. Young'. The magnates of the National 1 League resumed their deliberations i with indications that they will take i final adjournment some time to-mor ! row. The proposed changes in the : rules governing the world's series are lup for discussion to-day. It appears j virtually certain that the series will be extended to nine games and that I all the players will share in the spoils, if the American League agrees. Another topic is the new players' contract recently drawn up by- the National Commission. Although the contract is said to contain clauses which may bring forth protests from I the players' fraternity, its adoption is | considered probable.

"Wire Tappers" Fleece Farmers Out of $7,500 J Kansas City, Dec. 14.—'-"Wire tap | pers" have enriched themselves by • $7,500 within the last two weeks | through operations here, according to ; a statement of one of their victims Ito the police. The man, a Kansas j farmer, spent yesterday in company ! with detectives seeking the location of ; a pool room where he alleges he lost his money. ■ The fake horse race was the method I used on the farmer, the pool room being "raided" just after his horse had "gone over" at big odds and making him a handsome return on his invest ment. Ills friend persuaded him to slip out the back way to escape publicity. The two went to Omaha, j where he was deserted. Another man asked a local bank for | a draft on his home bank, telling the 1 clerk he was going "to clean up" on | a tip on the grain market. The clerk | iniormed him of the situation he was ; in and on his advice the man took a detective when he went to meet the friend who had given him the conli | dential Information. Meantime the ■ friend had disappeared and the man, ia Colorado farmer, was saved $5,000.
