The National league lias started something. The new code which the players are supposed to follow is by far the most strict that has ever been handed down by any letigue, and the staid old National has set a precedent in framing it. According to the new rules, National league players who flirt with whisky to excess or burn too many cigarettes to suit the ideas of their managers may be handled severely, and the league will uphold any manager in such a case. Players must keep track of their own baggage. They must keep their uniforms clean.

They must restrict themselves to $3 per day for meals, and they must live at any hotel the club selects. Tliey will not be allowed to ride in taxlcabs at the club's expense. If suspended by tin umpire, a player will be dealt with according to the recommendations of President Tener to the board of directors. There will be no appeal from the decision of the board. In addition to this, the player who receives an injury outside of the service of his club will have to standi for his salary being lopped off while he is absent.

And any player who misbehaves in public, whether on or off the field, is liable to fine and suspension or both. The new rules were adopted by the league to improve the quality of the game and to serve also as a war measure. They show without a doubt that tho magnates feel they have the whip hand again. And with the Fed league a mere memory and the Players' fraternity subdued, It looks as though they have.
