The question of a referee for the
Bill Lang-Al Kaufman six-round box
ing biut. which is to be held at the
Philadelphia Baseball park on the
evening of Labor Day, September 5.1
has been satisfactorily settled. The
managers of the two principals met
and after a short talk they agreed up
on William H Rocap as the third
man In the ring. Rocap has had con
siderable experience in handling all
kinds of bouts and was the former
featherweight amateur champion . of
the United States. He thoroughly un
derstands the rules and can be de
pended upon to enforce them to the
letter. Before the men go into the
ring he will have a talk with them

will have n^ difficulty in their work

REED BIRD
SEASON OPENS
Slaughter of the Succulent
Dainties Expected to be
Large on First Day
Reed bird season opened with a
bang at dawn this morning in Penn
syI vanin Delaware and some coun
ties in Maryland. Enthusiastic gun
ners by the hundreds were out to
make a record-breaking bag for the
first day of the sport.
Gunners in this section of the coun
try have been waiting with ill-con
cealed Impatience for the 1st of Sep
tember, and guns, gunning clothes,
skiffs and other necessaries have
been receiving their annual prepara
tion for the occasion. The beauty of
gunning for reed birds is that the
sport is comparatively inexpensive,
dogs not being indispensable, as In
field shooting. Anyone possessing a
I gun. a little time and the couple of
dollars for carfare and shells can
enjoy a god day's gunning, and this
year promises to furnish better sport
31 than for five years past.
' that readies and rail birds are quite
plentiful and that the wild oafs and
reeds are In fine condition, thereby
guaranteeing that the birds will be
fat and prime.
While there are many desirable
marshes which belong to private in
divlduala or are rented by clubs, there
are enough marshes left to provide
gunning for the general public. The
nearest are along the Christiana
Creek, although the troublft there is
that there are so many shoters that
It is hard to get much choice of shoot
ing.
It is stated
In New Jersey there are good
grounds, while down in Maryland
there is an abundance of ground. It
Is necessary, however, to have li
censes to shoot these birds In New
Jersey and Maryland, and prospec
tive gunners should make sure of
having the licenses in their pockets
when they start, shooting, otherwise
the game wardens may make trouble
and perhaps spoil a day's shooting.

NOW DRAFTING
BALL PLAYERS
Securing of Class A Stars is
Quite a Complicated Mat
ter-Others Easy
FORTUNES COMING
TO MINOR LEAGUES
The drafting season for the major
leagues starts to-day and will con
tinue for two weeks,
time quite a number of the stars of
Class A clubs will be gathering into
The meet
During this
the fold of the majors.
ing of the National Commission will j
be held at Cincinnati and is one of j
the most important of the year.
To secure Class A players the
majors have to go through consider
able red tape so that every club is
satisfied
different drafts are as follows:
The rules govering the
Minor league players are promoted I
On or before August
in two ways.
2« each year, the minor league clubs
need not part with their best players
unless they desire to do so and then
only on terms satisfactory to them
selves. The theory of baseball law
Is that the minor league club is en
tlttled to remuneration for the train
ing of green players into candidates
for the stronger oragnizations The
second way of advancement, is
through the draft.
The right to draft players Is not
only a valuable privilege for the
majors, but It also protects the play
ers themselves. Only one player may
be drafted from each Class A minor
league club, but an unlimited number
may be drawn from all minor league
clubs of lower classification. As a
result of this provision there is prac
tically no danger that players with
ability to stick in the major league
will be forced to remain In the
minors.
At times uniform writers rant about
the "slavery of players," but students
of baseball law Know that the sport
would not be where It Is to-day—at
the head of professional pastimes—
If ft were not for the wise regula
tions drawn for the purpose of pro
tecting the public, the players and
the owners. In baseball as In busi
ness and politics, the trouble is not
with the law but with the occasional
violations.
The lengthy list issued'by the com
mission after Auguat 2« showed how
thoroughly the sixteen major league
clubs raked the country for playera
of promise, hut on September 1 each
club will add several more names
to Its payroll. The draft Is the great
est of lotteries, because It always
turns out that many clubs try for the
much-touted players.
The drafting of Class A players Is
quRe complicated. Suppose, for In
stance, that the National Commission
receives checks from four major
league clubs for "Jones." of Colum
bus, two for "Smith." of the same
team, and two for "Brown." The
first thing to decide is the
drawn.
which of the four clubs desiring him
is entitled to his services The com
peting clubs may be Pittsburg and
Cincinnati Nationals. Cleveland and
St, Louis Americans The names of
these four clubs are written on slips
of paper and placed In a hat. The
club drawn out gets the man.
Many high-grade players have been
promoted through the draft Pitts
burg's best luck was in drawing the
right to negotiate with "Chief" Wil
son for his services. Brooklyn was
luck last September in getting
Daubert. Philadelphia picked up
Walsh, who although only a utility
man this year, will stick In the
league. St Louis picked up Houser.
Other clubs of the two leagues picked
up good players. There Is. however,
so much uncertainty about the draft
that major league clubs cannot afford
to wait until September 1 to recruit
their clubs. That is why the minor
leagues are handed a fortune every
Auguat.

More on the P.-O. S. Game.
Sporting Editor THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
I would like to have a few words to
say in relation to the game at Bran
dywine Springs last Thursday. I saw
the game and read both letters and
was sorry to see the different things
that game brought out.
I am no special rooter for either
team, but will say the trick that was
worked on the Parkslde rooters was
not fit for any team to make. I hap
pened to be standing on third base
line when the hat was passed through
the Parkslde faithfuls, when I over
heard one man say. who is this for?
The man with the hat said, "It's all
right, it will be divided." Even the
manager of Parkslde dropped money
in the hat. 1 myself put money in. but
1 did not give It to one team alone,
as I thought both teams were to di
! vide it.
As for fair play, 1 can not see where
Parkslde is to blame any more than
Old Swedes. 1 think both teams play
ed a gentlemanly game outside of a
few boys who were annoying Old
Swedes' catcher. But this happens at
almost every game. R. R C. asks why
Lewis was put In to pitch. Well, to
make it short. Old Swedes would have
a bad game to handle if they played
j it all the way they did the last three
j innings. Out of eight men who faced
Lewis, he struck out seven and if he
j had been settled down, he would have
made It eight without a doubt. Now,
i hope this finishes this game and let
the managers take up the next collec
tlon. because the money that went
1 into the hat is not all there is in the
world.
j l,et the two teams get together not
for cups, collection, suppers or argu
; ments. hut for a good clean game and
i to show the best team of the two.
