OMAHA. PUNDAT. JANUARY . 1!U
THE National Commission haa
finally yielded to the Importunate
demand for amendment to the rule
governing the drafting of players
by major league clubs from the
minora. Ita amendment la calculated to
remedy one. of the worst abuses under the
rule, that of drafting player for trading
purpose. Wa have long. In common with
many othera Interested In fair play and
deoent methods In bane ball, protested
against Just thla thing and naturally, feel
gratified at the action taken. It la em
bodied In thla new rula:
Rula 13 Any major league club desiring
to draft a plarer, in addition to complying
with the requirements of section 7, artlrle
4. of the national agreement, and the rulea
of the national cornmihston ahall ftla with
tha secretary of tlie commission a atate
ment signed by Ita preeldent. alanlfytng
that surh eele tlon la made for the Hole
purpoae of securing aurh player'a service
for Ita own team and not under an agree
ment or arrangement for hla transfer to
another major egue f,r a minor leugue
club of higher clarification than that from
which ha waa drafted or for hla return
to tha club from which ha waa obtained
oy a rait.
If on Investigation the commission flnda
auch certified statement waa falae and that
ma system or selection was perverted from
its true purpose In furtherance of a con
spiracy, a fine etual to tha drafting price
of the league from which the player was
drafted ahall be imposed on each offending
club. If the club from which he waa se
lected were not a party to the frariMilent
transaction. It shall be permitted to re
tain the draft money, otherwise tha amount
ahall ha forfeited to the national commit
slon for Ita use.
In any event tha player deprived of the
privilege of advancing in hla profession
ahall be declared a free agent unlets some
other major league club desires his ser
vices by the drafting proceea. If the
player la declared a free agent he ahall
not be allowed to contract with either of
the offending cluba for tha succeeding
eaaon.
Statistic are not available to show what
percentage of drafted playera either are
traded or aold to other teams, mostly min
ors, but we venture to say that It Is at
least 60 per cent. If not more. Thla works
a hardship, often, on both player and the
team from which he waa taken, whether it
la the one to recover him or not. If It
does not recover him. It has lost for the
minimum amount of money Its best player,
and If he la traded, possibly lost him to
one of Ita rival teams, aa haa been the
case with Omaha and nearly every other
minor league club. Or, If It recovers him
nine times out of ten, tha player'a useful
nass to the team la impaired because of
hla discontentment and disappointment. He
la aore at being let down and the chancea
are, where tha minor team owner feels he
cannst Juatly meet the salary rate which
the player was to get from tha major, is
aore at that and will put in most of tha
time pouting. (Serious mischief comes frcm
Just auch abuses. The commission seems
to be in earnest about thla matter, for it
haa prescribed rather strong penalties. Un
doubtedly It was forced to take thla radical
action largely because of the practice of
one particular National league owner, who
haa apparently taken liberty for license on
many occasions on the assumption that a
winning team carried with It some sort of
special privilege for Ita owner.
Not that anybody felt any serious doubt
over the matter, but Just to confirm a
common belief, It may be interesting to te
state that George Tebeau, boas of the
American association, announces that that
organisation and tha Eastern league will
make no trouble in tha way of an Invasion
until the and of 1911, when their f ranch
laes expire. "Then," quotha White Wings,
"we shall be prepared to make certain re
quests." It la aloe of him to call it "re
quests." They win be prepared to make
and enforce demand. Of that, let no one
be deceived.

vln has announced the achedule of exhibi
tion Mmn wlilch he haa arranged for the
Tigers and It looks as If the members of
the iJetrolt base ball club were going to
have a very busy spring. The squad will
come north In two divisions aa usual, and
the two sections are due to play in no less
than nineteen cities, playing a total of
thirty-five games. The only major league
club to be encountered Is the Cincinnati
Reds, but contests have been arranged
with teams from the American association
and the Southern. Texae, Central. Western
and Three-I leagues.
Hughey Jennings will command the first
'luad. which will be made up of veteran
Infleldera and outfielders and the recruit
boxmen. while the aecond division, com
posed of veteran pitchers and recruit base
men and outer gardeners will be piloted by
Wild Bin Donovan. The Tiger Cuba will
be the first to leave the training camp
at Monroe, I., starting for Khreveport on
the morning of March 24. The same evening
the full-grown Tigers will take a sleeper
for Birmingham. Ala., where Manager Jen-
inga will unleash them the next day.
As ail the players will probably be In
Monroe by March 1. they will have more
than three weeks of work before they start
north. Pome of the veterans. Including
most of tha pitchers, will go to Hot Springs
about the middle of February to atari get
ting Into condition, but the majority of the
men will leave for the south In a body
from Detroit. The spring schedule, aa ar
ranged by President Navln Is aa follows:

There la little doubt In the minds of those
acquainted with the industry that the an

Full page advertisements announcing the

It Is a sequel of the company'a state

No-Rim-Cut Tire
Motor car owners have long and willingly paid 20 per
cent iexlra fr loodyear No-Rim-Cut tirea. Now they coit
nothing extra, becauee of our enormous production.
We have sold half a million Goodyear
No Rim-Cut tires, and last year our tiro
sales trebled. Yet, ontil lately, these
premier tires cost 20 per cent mora than
tbs ordinary.
All because the tires ran't rim-cut. and
because Goodyear tires are 10 per cent
versus.
Now these same tlret No-Rim-Cnt tire
tires 10 per cent overalls cost ao mora
tbaa other standard tires. Our multi
plied output ba cut tbs cost of prodnctioa.

Tbe M Bratdea Wires
Tbe pictore shows bow a Goodyear No-Rim-Cut
tire fits any standard rim for
quick-detachable tires. Also demountable
rims.
Note that tha rim flanges, which are re
movable, are turned to book outward with
No-Rim-Cut tires. There ara do books
on tho base to hook Into the rim, as tbere
are on other tires. Tbe rounded flange
comes next to the tire casing, and rim
catting is made impossible.
The next picture shows how other tires
clincher tires fit this same rim. Tbe
rim flanges are
turned to face in
wardto grasp hold
of tbe book in tbe
tire. That is how
tbe tires are bald on.

flange digs Into the tire. That It what
causes rim-cutting. A tire may be mined
beyond repair io a single block, If yo
run it flat.
Tbe difference is this: Goodyear No-Rim-Cnt
tires don't need to be booked to
tbe rim. Through the base on each side
we run 63 braided wires a feature whicb
we control.
These wires make tbe base tiastretra
able. When tbe tire is Inflated tbe wires
contract. A pressure of 1.14 pounds to
the inch then bolds the tire to the rim.
Other makers, to get rid of this book,
use a single wire or a bard rnbber base.
But both are Impracticable. The braided
wire, wbicb contract tinder air pressure,
are absolutely essential to a safe book
less tire.
In addition to this. Ooodyear No-Rim
Cut tires are 10 percent over tbe rated site.
That means 10 per cent more tire at go
eitra cost. With tbe average car that
adds 25 per cent to tbe tire mileage, be
cause it avoids overloading. Yon get tbese
advantages wlthont extra cost when yon
specify Ooodyekr No Rim-Cut tires.
Together they cnt
down average tire
bills half. They are
