These suggested alterations were rounded
Into legislative form at a meeting of the

The method of^tundlcapping shall con-
sist of allotting each player, one or

in that set. The points scored shall be
recorded at the end of each game, and, at
the conclusion of the set. the allotted han-

A new plan of voting recognises the

MANY PLAYERS LOANED BY
MAJORS; EFFORTS TO CURB
PRACTICE PROVE FAILURE
It will be Interesting to watch the re-
turn of tj>e various players, apparently
released outright to the various minor
league clubs by major clubs, but In reality
only loaned to the minors under secret
"gentlemen's agreements," which have tak-
en the place of open optional agreements,
writes Francis Richter in the Philadelphia
Press. The mluor leagues supposedly have
abolished the optloual agreement system,
but there Is not the least doubt that
many, If not a majority, of the minor
league clubs of all classifications have de-
clined to accept that decision, or to live
strictly up to its provisions, and are now
doing by subterfuge the thing that is pro-
hibited, thereby doing themselves and the
game more harm than by the optional
agreement system which lipid the harm-
ful farming practice in some legal restraint
at least.
That it is impossible to stamp out the
practice of farming entirely Is admitted.
The National Commission realized this, as
it established the optional agreement sys-
tem soon after its organization in 11MW, and
has ever since striven, seriously so, against
the abuses of that system, especially by
major league clubs, This they tfould read
ily do, as under the optional agreement
system things had to be done In the open
and as a matter of record. With the ir-
responsible and secret system now in vogue
the door Is wide open to abuses, and that
there will be many such is shown by "re-
purchases'' already made, in some cases
the underhand deals being In leagues where
the loudest howls went up against the op-
tional sale plan.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 14.—The "seven-
player" rule, salary limit**, fixed at the
last annual meeting of the league at $2,800,
and the length of the 1920 season, in addi-
tion to the election of a president and
allotment of holiday games, are expected
to be the most important matters to be
threshed out at the annual meeting of
the Southern Association of liascball
Clubs, which will be in session here to-
morrow and Tuesday.
Informal discussion in advance of to-
morrow's meeting indicates that an effort
will be 11... ie either to abolish the seven-
player rule or revise It to permit the in-
dividual clubs to have a greater number
of "veteran" players 011 their rosters.
It is understood that a proposal will be
made to lengthen the playing season to
].'»4 games. Last season the schedule waj
limited to 140 games.
No announcement has been made as to
whether John 1). Martin of Memphis, who
was elected president last year, will be op-
posed for re-election.
SMUGGLERS PLY TRADE ON
RHINE WITH BIG PROFITS
By Associated Press.
MAYKNCti. Germany, Not. 21 (Corres
pondence).—Smuggling is on the increase
between unoccupied Germany and the oc-
cupied zones according to recent Informa-
tion received by the intelligence officers
of the French army of occupation. French,
army officers say that women have been
particularly active of late and that there
are nearly as many women smugglers as
men. An Alsatian woman smuggler claims
to have made tJO.OOO marks ou one deal.
The woman, when discovered, said that
she had gone from Strasburg, to Sollngen.
in unoccupied Germany, where she pur-
chased 100 dozen knives at six marks each.
She managed to get the knives over the
Alsatian border without paying duty and
afterward sold the knives to a I' rench
dealer for 20 francs each. Returning to
Germany the woman said she exchanged
the French money for marks, at 280 marks
. for ltio francs, the rate of exchange at
I that time.

All those who have the Interests of the
national sport at heart are glad that the
minor leagues have decided to come back
into the fold and resume their relations
with the majors, says the Cincinnati En
quirer. The minors split out a year ago
and decided to go it alone without depend-
ing upon the National Agreement under
which they had been operating since its
adoption. Their principal argument was
that they did not wish to submit to the
draft any lmiircr and they put up a lot of
talk about having their teams disrupted by
the draft. This argument never appealed
to any one who know.* the conditions, for
110 club was ever disrupted by the draft.
From the highest classes among the
minors it is possible to draft only one
, iday r, and the price paid f«»r him must be
* 12.500. The drafting season is strictly
limited, and any club which has developed
au unusually valuable plaver who is likely
to be drafted has a right to sell this
' player f< r a sum larger than the draft
price if it can find a uurchaser. The draft
rule was framed for the advancement of
the ball player, and It has always worked
well. Without it any club could hold a
good played indefinitely and prevent him
from securing a clissoo t*« rise In his pro-
fessi'.' nnd make good with a major league
club. Every young man who enters base
ball as a nrotcssion certainly has a right
to g«> up if he sh 1 wh ability to do so. It is
manifestly unfair that a dub should be
allowed to retain a popular and efficient
player to his own detriment when clubs
of a higher < I i^itlcation and paying larger
salaries are willing to give Mm a trial
The draft rule protects the ambitious
nnd skillful plaver in this respect, and at
the nam,, time <!<•. - not harm the financial
interests of a 11 \ ball dub. The minors
have discovered fjiat they are better off
when in peaceful alliance with the majors,
nnd they have come back Into the fold of
the National Agreement, where they be
long. So tie interests of both clubs and
players will again be protected under the
excellent regulations of the agreement. The
litt 1m rebellion Is over and all is lovely
again, except for the internecine warfare

recalls, Interestingly, the experiences of
some of our former rins? worthies across j

and fairness. But the gueeusberry ex
ponents themselves cannot, as in the case '
of the Ferocious one, he said to deserve
such rich praise. Fulton's lament In which
llackett's aloofness from all ring activities
which might place him within rause of the
gawky Miuncsotan's eaporiflc wallop re-
calls a similar episode iu the rin^' career
of the one and only John I.. Sullivan
After tho Old Roman had established
himself as the fofemoit fistieuffer in the
r. S he thought that, In order to clinch
his right to world supremacy a trip to
F.ngland where he could engage Britain's
best was in order. Sullivan's renown as a '
ring man had penetrated even the London
fog ami his arrival in London created a
si ir. The Boston Strong Boy was even
granted an audience with the 1'rlnce of
Wales afterward King Edward VII. John
must have understood the feelings of the
prince when he encountered such a world
celebrity as the Vnnk bruiser. Desirous of
putting the future monarch at his ease.
Solly grasped his hand and exclaimed got
terally. "Ilowdy, l'rinc; I've often heard
about you!"
"Mitch" Propped Sollivno.
That night Sullivan took iu the bouts at

then champion of England, was paired
with some harmless antagonist. Sullivan
perceiving the one-sidedness of the match, j
idled through the rope* without the for- I
mality (if an introduction. Strolling over |
to Smith's corner. John offered to take the |
English champion on and knock him out
within four rounds or forfeit $1,000. Turn-
ing to the prince at the ringside, Sullivan
remarked "Wut's the use of Smith's
boxln' that dub; I've only been off the
h11ii> a few hours but that don't make any
difference. I.et's have a real scrap if it's
in Smith!" But Smith couldn't be coerced
into the riog with John I. then or any
idher time under any circumstances, Sul-
livan, as in the case of Fulton, sailed for
New York soon afterward without having

I'ulton. he demonstrated without engaging
