4 Sporting News Os the Day. fit. Louis. Mo.. March 5. —Wnder the bril liant leadership of John T. Brush, the crusade for clean ball *as brought to a successful isaue. In the samp parlors where Mark Hanna massed the McKinley forces in the cam paign for the Republican presidential ncm ication, a growing-diamond evil was given its deaht blow. Not a vote was cast against the measure. All the afternoon a mass of evidence —re- pulsive, but conclusive—was heard, and when the war correspondents were called upon they presented a solid front in favor of the famous Brush resolution. Then the roll cal) -bowed twenty ayees—New York s vote being oast by A. H. noden—and the wavering ones—Cleveland, Washington and Louisville—falling in line, Harry Pul liam faltering and stumbling in the effort, bringing up the rear—the sorriest speci men of an advocate of reform tn the lot. He seemed to fear that Fred Clarke would be made a horrible example, voted "no” and then turned a somersault into the "Aye Society.” Under the provisions of the new law a Board of Discipline has been brought into existence. The tribunal is composed of three men of national prominence, al! of the highest integrity and familiar with baseball law. L. C. Krauthoff, of Kansas City, chairman of the board, was one of the highest legal lights In the American Associ-ation whin the City of the Kaw was in that organization. When the rape of the athletics took place and Louie Bier bauer and Harvy Stovcy were taken Krautjioff put justice before law and vo ted against Allen W. Thurman and John I. Rogers. Jx>ui- Kramer, of Cincinnati, when Pres ident of the American Association was fc.irb - enough to take Jack (TConnor and lift him over the breat.works of profession al bail for bad conduct. That was a he roic cure, but it settled rowdy ball in that c .1?, Fred Stcarnr, the one-year man, w i president of the Detriot club the last y< it- the Wolvt iiuer mingled in the League so ieiv. A better board could not be mus ten <l. The one objectional feature of the Brush law the black list for life for offenders— w.r temp. i<d, and the Board of Discipline is given power to grade the degree of pun ishment, and their sentence may be sus p<usio for -lays, weeks, months, balance of the sef. son, indefinitely or if or life.

I so that the maximum punishment for the I first offense be made three month*. but af ter the war corespondents had fired an oral broadside from the original resolution. ( Colonel Robinson arose, announced his conversion and withdrew his amendment. The power of the press was vindicated and the victory ceeubrated by a wild out burst of applause. The foul-mouthed player must go—aye, must go bag and baggage. Usually at these league assemblies the moguls scatter like a cov c y of quail before the hunter, and your Uncle Nick is left to hold the fort alone and wonder when the , hour for actual business will come. There leij t much politics in the spring mee.ing. and the fall sessions are also de vote! largely to deals. On the present oc casion business methods .seem to prevail, and there Is a disposition to gallop instead of to drag along at a snail’s pace. The changes in the constitution were not numerous. That action which relegates specimens of the genus homo umpire to the ranks of the Society of Hasbeens will meet with universal endorsement. A REFORM THAT IS GOOD. The choice of players from oposing nines to officiate as umpires whenever the reg ular official is absent is calculated to re move from the game all possibilities of scanda- such as marked the game on sev eral rare occasions in -Cleveland, Cincinna ti and other cities last yea». Cleveland suffered from the McGinty ep isode just as the Bittman affair brought no glory to the Porkopolitan escutcheon. ' incinnatl has been pilloried in away that it little deserved by long-distance critics, ind, despite all tales to the contrary, the Spirit of Fair Play abides among the en thusiasts of the Queen City, and they are true sportsmen enough to desire only their just diamond dues—no,more, no less. ABOUT PROTESTS. What becomes of all the protested games ? In nine cases out of ten protests made in anger are never heard of after they reach headquarters. Manphia swept through the League last year sowipg pro tests like chaff scattered by the wind. One new clause in the cdnhtitution is likely to prevent "Unde Nick’s" strong box from being choked up with silly cases. Protesting clubs must file their charges within five days of the dispute. The an swer must be returned within the succed ing five days. Then President Young will decide the case. If an appeal is taken the Board of Directors will receive all the evidence, and either confirm or reverse tlie decision hy a mail vote. That isn’t a bad bit of legislation.
