kan league exscutlva.
While tha formality of handshaking waa
dispensed trtth Johnson bowed hla acknowl
edgements and ha waa voted tha thanka of
tha nmgnatea for his efforts rn behalf of
tha national game.
Ticket Confutation l.
Tha ticket complication during tha cham
pionship aeries In Chicago between trie
home team and New Tork waa con Into
at soma lentth and It waa decided that tha
matter bo Investigated mora fully by Presi
dent Murphy and tha chairman of tha Na
tlonal commission.
In handling tha problem of ticketa the
magnates brought woo t tha players by
adopting a rule that no paasea be Issued to
tha latter either to tha borne grounda or
while they are at other cities. Provision
will be made for the lasuaxioa of paaaea to
tha wives of players, but hereafter tha
choaen frlonda of tha diamond stars will
be obliged to dlapensa with free admls1
alone. Tha directors alao decided to do
away wtlh the practice of giving "free
ladles' days" in any of tha National league
parka.
National Agreeaaeat Amended.
The propoaed amendment to the national
agreement was ratified by the league.
Cluba will be limited In the major leagues
to twenty-five players between May 16
and Auguat 30 and thirty-five ptayera after
the latter data mentioned. Tha claaa A
leaguea will be limited to aixteen and
twenty-five In the same arrangement aa
regards dates. After considerable discussion
it waa deolded that the dates of poatponed
gamea a hall be fixed by the home team
on tha day of postponement. When "double
headers" are arranged according to thia
plan tha umpires must be notified by the
home cluba in order that they may be on
hand without delay of being assigned by
the headquarters of the league.
In the resolution granting President Pul
llam a leave of absence the magnates ex
preaaed the hope that he would return to
hla duties fully restored in health.
"During his absence," the resolution aet
forth, "ha will be relieved of all respon
sibility and John A. Heydler. now aecre-
tary and treaaurer, la hereby appointed
acting president withfull authority In the
office which carries representation on the
national commission." In tha atatement
issued by President Pulllam before the
meeting ha expreased tha hope that baae
ball would not meet the fate which has
overtaken horse r&clns throughout the
country and announced that name at the
magnates "were inclined to kill tha goose
that laid the golden egg."
It was when this atatement waa made
publlo and President Pulllam failed to ap
pear that a conference waa held and the
president asked that he be granted a leave
of absence. It la probable that he will go
to California Monday next.
Kiraky'i Premtaed Boaaja.
The National commission . at Its next
meeting will act on tha requeat of Pres
ident Murphy to be permitted to pay a
$10,000 bonus to his players, as per the
promise made before the cloae of laat

President Murphy eays ha sent a letter
to the National commlaalon laat Tueaday
asking permission to make good his prom
ise, but up to tha present time no action
haa been taken. Chairman Herman de
clined to dlscusa 'the matter; and Presi
dent Murphy Instate ha is willing to pay
over the money providing ha la given
official sanction.
The American league officials, aa well
as the executives of tha cluba rapreaented
In the American association and Western
league, were not in evidence during the
closing hours of tha National league
meeting and trading waa not active.

Mr. Pulllam arrived without baggage, and
the attempt of hla fellow magnates of tha

Pulllam refused to dlacuse tha Indefinite

of which ha is the titular head.
"I'm hare for my health," said Pulllam.
"I'm going to Cincinnati thia afternoon or

ICH1PKE TO RBPLACK ttUILLIIt
Taat la tha Dove at the San ok Hemea
ava4 Other H oases.
There Is a growing belief at the Smoke
houae and In other sporting quarters of
Omaha that Bill Schlpke will play third
base for Minneapolis thia season.
Mike Cantlllon, manager of the Millers,
lias let Lee Qulllln go to Dea Moines; Joe
Cantlllon, manager of Washington, has
Hooght Wld Omroy from the Highlanders;
Hohipke played a great third for tha Sen
ators last year, but lacked in batting,
hanca tha conclusion that Skipper BUI will
be replaced In Washington by Conroy and
Qulllln In Minneapolis by Schipke.
Incidentally Qulllln will play in tha out
field at Dos Molnea, according to present
plana Qulllln is one of the disappointments
of base ball. No young player promises mora
than he, but whan ha went to the White
Sox ha eeemed unable to keep his head and
conaequeot'y soon became worthless to
Comiitkey, who promptly slid him on to
Minneapolis and now Minneapolis is
through vlth him.
Oonroy's sale to Washington Is taken by
aome good authorltiee to mean that Kid
Hlberfteld will, after all, be retained by
Kt&lllnga aa regular third baseman for
New York Americana and Ward will play
short. If thia dope provea correct and un
less tha rantankeroua Kid takes a wonder
ful brace In himself, things look better
than ever for Jimmy Austin. If he can't
put a tuck or too In El ber field at this third
corner It will be a surprise to many fan a
Kvldently Stalllnga meana to hang onto
Austin. He wouldn't dare talk of letting
him go- Not a team would waive on him.
Ha would be grabbed up tha moment Naw
York raised Ita finger.
BOSTOM REVOLTS AT CTS SALB
Kama Tkreatrsa ta Bares Taylea
Tamaa Thia Seasea.
Devoteea of Cy Young In Boston threaten
to boycott tha Boston American league
team because President Taylor has sold
old Cy Young, their Idol, to Cleveland.
Young could draw a larger crowd than all
the rest of the team put together, and
ha won lila share of gamea, too, and would
have won many more had he. a team of
hla caliber back at him. Soma of the
alrongest baae ball nten in Boston are up
In arms and decsara that they will show
Taylor before this season ia over that ha
made the error of hla Ufa la letting out
the Grand Old Man.
When Lou Crlger, Young's old-time pal
and catcher, waa ald to tit. Louis It be
came evident that Taylor might let Young
go, too. But Young and Crlger both hoped
they might be aold to tha aame team, ao
that they could continue their association
of a score ot yeara.
Kicks and protests sre pouring in like an
avalanche upon President Taylor, who per
hapa is unable now to undo whet be has
dons.
Jimmy McAleer, manager of tha Browns,
and bia chief. President Hedges, still are
wondering how they oama to lose out on
Cy Young. When Lou Crlger was traded
to St. Louis, Young expreased his dissatis
faction with the dl. He waa aoeuatomed
to have Loula catch him and said ha would
not know how to act with any one else be
hind the bet.
Knowing this. MnAleer and Hedjree ma1n
overturea to rresldnt Taylor for Young's
relrasn. Taylor told McAlrer ha would
trade Toung for Rube WaddHI J
naturally balked at this. Inasmuch aa the
ttiiDe la quite aa good a drawing card aa
Cy and la not aa old.
Taylor thin asked MoAleer for an offor.
Jimmy made him one and John I. aald he
would ronalder it and let him know in the
morning. Jimmy would not eay what
ptayera he offered In exchange for the
veteran, but volunteered the Information
after the Cleveland rtal had been made
that the athletes the Browns had promised
to provide outclassed tha ones the Napa
turned over.
And the Cleveland exchange came off a
few minutes after McAleer and Taylor had
their talk.
"We wanted Young." aald Preaident
Hedgea yesterday, "and thought we would
be given the call, aa Cy wanted to Join
Crlgvr. But you never can tell."
