4. With the recognition of a class in minor base ball leagues to be known as class A and revision of practically every section of the national peace agreement, the Base Ball commission ended its eighth annual meeting here today. The visit of the hosts of minor league magnates to the meeting was not in vain in as much as they were granted everything that they requested of the commission. The class A A will ranked between the two major leagues thA class A leaeue. and will be com nnsed of the International league, the NOWWE HAVE A MANAGER; THEN AGAIN, WE HAVE NOT Scranton Owner Falls Down In His Effort' to Land Mullen, i Is the Report.

After much fussing and fretting, and the positive Information that Jimmy Mullen had signed to manage the arrant on team, it developed yesterday that the former Toronto player has not signed, and in all likelihood will not. Between tardiness in getting a man Jiger and players and the reported effort to degrade the class of the organization, prospects for a paying proposition in Scranton do not look good.

S1.500 instead of tl.OOO: class $1,200 instead of (750; class $750 instead of $500, and class $500 instead of $300.

Class A A league clubs are permitted to draft from any league of a lower classification, including the class A. pro vided that the latter class clubs has not lost a player by draft to the major league clubs. Revlned Reserve Mat. The limit of the number of players which can be carried on the reserve list was also revised and follows; Major league clubs, 35 class A 30 American association and the Pacific; class 28; class 26: class 24. Xo rvmst leaeue.

Like the major leagues, the class A A league clubs cannot sell players except for immediate delivery. This rule does not bind the leagues of a lower classification, however. Change In Draft Date. The drafting season, which has heretofore opened on September 1, will in the future open on September 15. The season for purchased players will close August 20, as formerly.

The first five days of the drafting season from Sep teriiber 15 to September 20 will be given over to the major leagues exclusively. Two days will then be' allowed to elapse and the class A A league clubs will have a ten davs' drafting season. Then the leagues of lower classification will have their season in the order of their classification. Ono of the principal changes in t.he agreement was the price to be paid by major league clubs for minor league plavers who are drafted. It follows: To class A A $2,500 instead of regulation was made for the class leagues.

From May 15 to August 20 major league clubs are restricted to Jo players, while the restriction in the minor leagues are: Class A 20; class 18 class class 14. Xo provision was made I or class D. i Heretofore the National Association of Minor League clubs paid an annual as sessment to the National Commission of $1,000. This was done away with upon recommendation of President Johnson, of the American league, and in the future the commission will stand the entire ex pense of running itself. J.

H. Farrell, secretary of the National association, in speaking of the chanees. said: "The commission awarded every request mane oy us, ana i Delieve that we have bettered conditions among the minor leagues over 100 per cent. There will not be a minor league man in the country that will not be elated over the result of the meeting." WAGNER MEETS AHEARN BEFORE DOUGLAS CLUB "Cyclone" Williams Too, Will Appear In Double Wind Up at Music Hall, Monday Night. The Douglas A.

C. under the mimn. mcnt of Fred Douglas, of the Douglas A. L. of Philadelphia, which opened so successfully in this city last Monday, is to hold its second show at Music hall on the coming Monday, with a card that should be even better than the one this week.

Kid Wagner, formerly of this cltv but now of Wilkes Barre, has been matched to fight the main go and will have as his opponent Willie Ahearn. onn nf tho most promising welterweights in the Quaker City. He is from the string ot fighters managed by Douglas, and has made things merry for such boys as Beta Douglas, who. gave Wagner a good stiff battle here on Christmas Dav. "Cyclone" Williams; the colored lightweight or this city, who has not had much chance to get on hero latelv, will be given an opportunity against "Happy" Davis, who has a draw with Johnny Iover to his credit.

Williams is In great shape, and he meets a hard boy to beat in Davis. Fight fans have seldom witnessed a slugging match that was as fast and full of milling as the four rounds between Bennie Hart, of Bellevue, and Patsy Langan, of South Scranton, last Monday. I either had enough notice of the bout to go six rounds, but they are now in shape and will be staged in a six round preliminary. Kid Locke, who was unable to be on hand for his bout with Frankie McCann, of South Scranton, last Monday, will appear against McCann next Monday night. DOBBS DECLARES BILLS IS NO LOGGER UTILITY Former State Leaguer Slated For Regular Box Duty at Montgomery.

The report from Montgomery. OWn South in Alahamo tho, down Km ik 1. 1 A7 Tl aown boutb in that mtnt, Dut nas lately nit upon an espe Manaa er i.iiJ interest in Johnny Dobbs intends using oJe Bills, iihjb maie jeagusr. exclusively the box, is hard to believe. Bills' ability to Jump in at almost anv position anw play a star game was in a large measure responsible for the good finish of the Montgomery club.

When First Baseman Graham was hurt, Bills took up his knitting' and business went on as though nothing had happened. When it became necessary to make changes In the outfield, and center field was left vacant, Bills was sent there. He cavorted about the pastures with as much skill and ease as he did at first. And when it came his turn to pitch, Bills went in the box and did some chucking. The extra work did not seem to impair his pitching efficiency In the least.

He was always in the fittest form when he entered the box. and his success fit will be remembered that he led the league) was attributed to his constant exercise. Manager Dobbs may decide to use Bills more often in the box next season, but it is worth a corpulent bet that he won't be used exclusively in the box. It isn't considered the height of wisdom In base ball circles to play fellows who hit around .280 but once a week. WON'T PROTECT GAME ON LANDS, FENCED OFF HARRIPBURG, Jan.
