Commission Refuses to Alter
Rules for Purchase.
COST CONSIDERED TOO BIG
I'luycrs Bought by Minor Leagues
, Who Do Not Report September 1,
Arc Subject to Draft AVhere
Tliey Played August 2 0.
CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 3. In a decision
. reached today by Thomas J. Lynch, presi--dent
of the National .League, an B.
Johnson, president of the American
J.eaguo, and August Herrmann, of Cin
rlnnati, comprising the National baseball
rommisssion, the lattor body tonight de
nied the request of Clans C and I lengues
lor an amendment of the rule concerning
the purchase of minor league players.
The attention of the comrnissison "was
railed to the case by J. 1-1. Karreil, sec
retary of tho National Association, -who
fcubmittea a resolution offered at the re
cent meeting held at Memphis by the
ClasB C and D leaguep requesting that
rule 36 be amended ?o that minor league
players can be purchased by a' minor
league club from, another without having
fucti players report to the purchasing
club on or before the commencement of
the major league drafting season.
As the rule uow stands, hen minor
league players aro purchased by one ini
hor league club from another, and they do
not report by September 1. they are sub
ject to draft from the clubs that they are
With on August 30.
The commipslson in its ruling says:
"Wo reiterate that, if the rule were
rhanged so as to cover the request as
now made, it would be detrimental not
only to the major league and Class A
rlubs, but all players operating under or
nnized baseball as well.
"The statement recently issued by the
National commission shows the amounts
-xrended by major league clubs alone
)ast year for drafted and purchased play
ers to bo about S300.000. and In addition
to this, if all the players in question are
to be retained, payments amounting to
practically J(54,000 additional are made.
This shows that the minor league inter
f'Sts have been fully protected. The re
quest of the Class C and D clubs is there
fore refused."
VERXOXS GRAB EASTEUX MEN
llogan iets Brasbenr and Carlisle on
Year's List.
. Happy llogan. the ' eccentric manager
of the Vernon club. Los Angeles' con
tinuous baseball appendix, has signed up
Roy Urashear and Walter Carlisle, .two
Americau Association players who have
evidently outlived their usefulness in that
circuit, but Happy calmly announces that
he is strengthening the 'hog-wollowers"
for the coming race.
Roy Rrashear is an elder brother o
Norman Brashear, who has been with
Seattle, Ixia Angeles and Vernon in the
Pacific Coa.st league since 1903, and
Roy is said t be something of a second
jtacker. Walter Carlisle, the other new addition
picked up at a "bargain" by Happy Ho
gan. is the outfielding chap who set the
Coast League on fire a couple or more
years by leading the organization in the
number of homers made during the sea
son. Carlisle Jilt so well that year that
he was drafted by tine of the big league
clubs and staid there long enough to get
a good feed whence he was relegated to
Kansas City, from which club Hogan
negotiated his release.
MUKKAY lipMS TO ' CONTRACT
Deposed Philadelphia. Manager De
mands $15,000 Salary.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3. W. J. Mur
ray, deposed manager of the Philadel
phia National Ceague Baseball Club,
and Horace Fogei. new president of
that organization, failed to agree today
on terms on which Murray would sur
render his contract with the club.
This contract, made by former own
ers of the club, calls for the payment
of $7500 a year to Muray, and has two
years to run. The new owners of the
club are anxious to install another
manager, and they offered Murray $5000
to resign without litigation. This Mur
ray refused to do, and said he would
put his case in the hands of the Na
tional commission.
Another meeting will be held to
morrow, at which counsel representing
the new owners, Murray and the former
ownersr-will consider the legal aspects
of the case. Besides the $15,000 claimed
by Murray on contract, the club ownes
him $1500 on last year's salary.
SEATTLE BOY WINS
NATIONALS ARE TAKIXG VOTE
Question of Keeping Waiver Rc
quests Secret Is Issue.
NEW YORK. Jan. 3. National
League club owners are taking a mail
vote on the question of whether a
manager or president shall be required
to keep secret requests for waivers on
his players sent him by other clubs.
There has been complaint from some
clxibR that the present practice does
much damage by giving away their
plans in advance.
A circular letter has also been sent
outu President Lynch, of the National
League, asking club owners to fix
dates when their teams will have to
carry 25 players and when 35. When
the National League clubs adopted a
resolution last month to have a limit
of 35 men in the off-season and of 25
later, no dates were specified.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3. (Special.) Dr. B.
P. Roller, the Seattle wrestler-physician,
is at Mercy Hospital with a
threatened attack of .blood poisoning.
He underwent a slight operation this
afternoon and the attendants at the
hospital report his condition now seri
ous. a result the Jeffries combination
of athletes went on toward the West
without him.
Roller had been suffering for a week
with boils, but attended to them him
self. He kept on wrestling, every
night and did not pay much attention
to the trouble until yesterday, when
he discovered they were infected. Re
alizing the seriousness of it, he then
went immediately to the hospital.

ling Go Between Peter Buzukos
and New Puget Sound
Professional Artist.
Virgil Venable, the . Seattle grappler,
made his first appearanco here since he
turned professional, and threw Peter
Buzukos, the Oreek wrestler in two
straight falls at Merrill's hall last night.
The Greek seemed unable to get behind
the clever Seattle boy at all, for Venable
maintained the upper hold throughout.
Tho first fall was accomplished by a
crotch and 'body hold in ten minutes, and
the second was due to a half-Nelson and
bar-lock in 19 minutes. -
The f Greek is a strong wrestler, but
seemingly knew , ltbtle of the art of
wriggling out of dangerous positions. On
the other hand, Venable is a wiry, ligile
grappler. quick to take advantage of
every PhUble point, and on that account
he easily remained on top.
Vf nable ;last night announced that lie
would like to meet Eddie O'Connell, the
wrestling instructor of the Multnomah
Club, in a straight match, providing
O'Connell will agree to weigh 140 pounds
ring-side and post a - side bet of any
amount O'Connell cares to name.
Venable also wishes O'Connell to post
double the amount of the side bet as a
forfeit that he will weigh In - at 1-10
pounds. O'Connell may agree to the
terms mentioned for he was willing 'to
meet Buzukos at that weight, but the
Greek could not cover a side bet.
NELSON DICTATES HIS TERMS
Light-Weight Champion Insists De
mands Must Be Met.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3. (Special.) Battling
Nelson, world's champion . lightweight
fignter and Hegewisch financier, paused
in his money-making operations today
long enough to say that as champion he
has the right to make the best financial
terms he can get, that he will not fight
unless his terms are met and that Ad
Wolgast will meet him in San Francisco,
where the money offerings for both are
much better than in Los Angeles, or go
without a battle.
"I cannot see what is the real reason
Wolgast balks at the San Francisco fight
terms," said Nelson. "The promoter
there offers me $12,000 and Wolgast $S750.
I have acocepted his terms. The Los An
geles man has gone no higher than $10,000
for me and $2000 for Wolgast. Why
should he wish to fight for $1750 lees? It
looks mighty queer."
Nelson is not worrying about reports
from England that Freddie Welch thinks
bis purse demands for a battle in Wales
are ridiculous. "If Welch wants to fight
me in his home country," said Nelson,
"he knows how to clinch the battle get
8, proper money offer."
rivalry; over Seattle meet
Wrestling Representative Worries
Multnomah Boys Tryout Soon.
Considerable rivalry is being; ex
hibited between the "members of In
structor, Eddie O'Connell's wres
tling classes over who is to rep
resent the Multnomah Club in the
135-pound wrestling division against
the Seattle -Athletic Club. Four
clever grapplers are eligible to com
pete at this weight, and on this ac
count a tryout tournament will likely
be arranged for some night this week
at the Multnomah gym. The two most
likely candidates are H. M. Mose and
Oscar Franske. .
Seattle has named the 115-pound
wrestling- class as its choice of the
grappling events, and the heavier
weigh't is Multnomah's selection. In
the boxing bouts Multnomah named 10;j
pounds, while Seattle selected 145
pounds as desirable. It is said the
Puget Sound contingent has a corking
good boxer at the welter-weight limit,
and against this man Multnomah will
pit C. C. Ralph. Merritt McCarl will
represent the club in the midget division.
HLBMANN IN CITY
CHICAGO DOUBTS JEFF
BIG AXD STRONG, SAY FANS, BUT
VITAL FIRE IS LACKING.
Stage Antics Appear Studied and
Pall to Convince Crowd That Old
Time Form Is Back.
CHICAGO. Jan. 3. (Special.) Majiy of
Chicago's fight fans are still unconvinced
that Jeffries will be the fistic king of five
years ago -jphen he meet Jack Johnson
July 4. Tne big fellow cavorted and
danced before a critical crowd at the
Coliseum and has jumped farther West,
where he continues to go. through bis
stage antics each night. But he has
failed to convince.
He appears strong and hearty, but he
moves in a manner that indicates much
study and painstaking rehearsal. One
old-time ring follower had this to say
about the Calif ornian:
"He looks big and strong, but there is
no sign of the fire and steam which made
him the greatest fighter in the world a
few years ago. No one wants to see him
whip the negro any more than I do, but
he hasn't convinced me that he will be
able to do it. I don't think he can work
up the necessary speed, and, In spite of
his apparent well-preserved condition, I
flon't think the stamina is there."
