GIN GET ALONG WITHOUT DRAFT International League to Discuss Matter in Conference. BY JOHN B. FOSTER (Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW Y¥' <, Feb. 9—The Inter- national League, if it chooses to do ®o can continue without the draft as successfully as it did last year. Major league capital is not invested as heavily in the International as it is in other minor leagues. Many experienced baseball men have long been of the opinion that major and minor leagues should be completely divorced in their financial relation: But that will never take place as long as the majors can get in to the minor system to control to some extent the legislation and the play- er market. of. the Cincinnati club owners to ac- quire qa minor club shows the trend of the times. “In the International league there is only one club that is controlled by major league capital—Syracuse. ‘The American Association has more than one club thus controlled and would have still more {f Cincinnati had been able to buy Indianapolis er Columbus, The Internationay will hold its session in New York next week to adopt its schedule which has been arranged for this year. Undoubt- edly the draft question will come up. It is urged by some of the clubs that they should acquire surplus talent from the majors. But they will not be able to get much this year in any case. It is also a question whether what they could get would be better than what they could pick up out of major circles. No one knows how the clubs may line up on the draft. Baltimore probably will not recede from its stand. Dunn has fought for prin- ciple, and so far as he is concerned, has stood loyally The so-called modified draft, ac cepted by the American Association and the Pacific Coast League does not permit players to be drafted who have been ceveloped by a club. In time that will lead to a row. ‘The other question of taking play- ers from the majors carrying the question of bringing then up in the nursery only to see them go back has not altered in the least. Any league which wishes to become a nursery, or a farm, conforms to the theory of organized baseball, but rebuild each will be as 1 pride stent as a A Sa CHEYENNE DOUGLAS WVERY.

PLAYERS SOUGHT TO REBUILD TEAM IN NATIONAL LEAGUE BY HENRY L. FARRELL. (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Several National League clubs are to be shaken up by trades that may not be completed before the next sea- son actually starts, in the opinion of Branch Rickey, manager of the St. Louts Cards, who was here re- cently on a business trip. Rickey sai@ in his experience he had never heard so much trade talk among the club owners that was meant seriously. ‘The difficulty, he painted out, in swinging the deals was the usual one—they 4lI want the best of the deal. The St. Louls manager said he had been offered Charley Hollocber and Rabbit Haranville, but the did not want either one of them as the successor to Doc Lavan, who is said tobe scheduled out of St. Louts, Rickey is after one of the Boston @Hchers and it is probable that the deal will be completed before the teams go south. The dope was also spilled by Rickey that Pittsburgh is hot after Jimmy Ring, who won eighteen games with the lowly Pig's last sea- son. He admitted, however,- that most any club in the league would take him off Baker’s hands if the deal could be swung \without giving too much for him. Perhaps the Cardinal, manager meant to include himse’t when he said: “They all want too much for their players.” He certainly belongs to hat classification himself, as he was not mexlest !n placing a valua- tion of $500,000 on Rogers Horns- by. John McGraw hasn't “ recovered yet from the terrible shock he got when Rickey fn reply to a question of what he would take for the cham- pion batsman of the league, started off. “Frisch, Jackson and. “* Me- Graw stopped him right there, and salf he would not give Frisch’ for Hornsby in an even tr McGraw meant it, and he is prob- ably right. Frisch is practically just getting utarted. He has. by- no means reached the top of his game and he is getting better each sea- son. With the exception of his hit- ting, Frisch is a more valuable -play- er now than Hornsby, and his work with the bat Is nothing to be sneez- ed at.- Hornsby probably has reached the top of his game. He may continue to lead the league in batting for everal more but he will et no faster grows older, and he already has a weak knee. Frisch has been a sensation ever nce he jumped into the emergency at second base in 1919 and last year was his best se: His work in the world’s series was superb and one of ‘his p + was stamped by Miller Huggins, manager of the op- posing Yankees, as the finest and smartest bit of execution he had ever seen on the ason. Frisch studies the game and, for that matter, Hornsby may also take his business seriously, but Frisch shows more In his game to Indicate that he is giving every play ‘close thought. Making that spectacular play In | world’s series he threw himself | der and so sition to t « the 1 doub- th plate Horr if the St. Louis club ts | hrowing out smoke, will re- n with the Cardinals’ for at least nother season. Rickey says he will not dispose of his star unless he gets, in return, enough strength to insure a pennant for St. Louis. As the St. Louis club owners will not consider cash offers and insists upon players in any deal suggested no club league is in @ position to swing the deal without shooting the team full of “holes. Hornsby might be worth $500,000 to the Cards, but he isn't worth that to any other club. Perhaps he would bring a pennant to one or two contending teams in the league, but the world’s series isn’t worth a half million dollars to any club now. The Yankees and the Giants made money on the 1923 series, but they both just about broke even on the games in 1921 and 1922. In three years the New York clubs have made very little out of the series, A championship club, of course, draws better on the road, but the New York clubs always will draw, winning or losing. It Hornsby has a value of $500,000 on the hoof, it would be interesting to play around with seven or elght figures trying to appraise the worth of Babe Ruth to the Yankees. Ruth is ngt only a_tremendouy asset to the New York Yankees, but he is the biggest business getter in the league, He packs the parks wherever he goes and his influence spreads even to the minor leagues. Several responsible minor league club owners and managers have said frequently that thejr business is .lways good when Ruth is going g00d. Sport Calendar Racing.

In American values, there is no difference in these prices because of the fall in the franc, The litre of wine is still approxt- mately six cents and the pot au feu is sixty cents.
