Wilson Matthews, nmuager of the Charleston team of the
Smith Atlantic League and turf writer for The New Orleuns
Democrat during the winter, said recently of the racing game in
New Orleans. “It is the best ntt ended and the crookedest that
any winter track has ever known.”
We had already guessed t list it was a choice game, just
from the class of men mixed in it. According to the opinion of
those'on the inside, the owners of the New Orleans traeks see
their finish. They have noted lift 1 passing of raee track •betting
in Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee and they see it passing in Ar
kansas—even Arkansas.
For them the sun is still shining and they are proceeding
to make the hay. pack it away in bales and store it up for fu
ture reference. And the suckers are furnishing the hay.
The National Baseball Commission has ground out some now
rules, intended to safeguard the players and the minor league
teams. The most important is the new rule numbered 4.Y It
provides:
Whenever a major leuguc club lias secured a minor league player
by draft. It shall nol bo permissible for such major league club w ithin
•me year after having secured such player by draft to release the play
er to any other club In the same this* out of which the player was
drafted until It shall have tlr*t given the club from whom the player
was drafted an opportunity to re-pun*Imse the player at the drafting
price paid by tlu* major league club Thl* rule, however, shall not he
retroactive, that I* to any. It shall only apply to drafts to he made In
the future
In submitting lists of purchased player* a* re<|-iired at present, all
major league clubs must therenftei tile with the committee copies of
the ngreeiui at* entered Into relative to such purchases; It being the In
tent and desire .*f the commission to make close Inquiry Into all agree
ments providing.for purchase, In order that all the transaction* may !»•

players, thereby preventing the pl.iyei* developing In their profession
