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.
