For the moment, the hitherto overlooked youngster holds the center of the stage. If he is good, he may con- tinue to hold it. If he is only the first spark that glows and is con- sumed almost as soon as it is light ed, he drops out of the blaze of baseball, perhaps never to be heard from again. The Giants are extolling Leete, a Pitcher from Amherst. Hank Gow- dy is Leete’s t hoo man. But Leete had good words said for him long before Gowdy saw him per. form.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—(United Press.\—Owners of minor league lubs insist that it would not be yractical and would not be good nusiness for them to agree to a estoration of the old draft agree- ment by which the major leagues were entitled to the best of the minor league players, for the nomi- nal draft price. Club owners naturally consider ousiness first and there is much to support their argument that {it would not be a sound financial move to allow a major league clut o draw a star player and pay $5,000 or him when the same player night be sold on the! open market or $50,000. Minor league managers, however, are more inclined to look at the wractical side because they are paid + o develop a winning team and their salary depends entirely upon the legree of success they meet with. During the recent baseball meet ngs here, some very interesting opinions on the draft as it affects he playing standard of the minor eagues were voiced by a former minor league manager, one of the best in the business, who is now affiliated with a prominent major eague club. ‘I have had my own Ideas in the past,” he said, “but as my employer was not in favor of the draft, it would have been inconsistent and, at the same time, unwise for me to express my views to the contrary “I have always felt, and I feel now, that the draft was a fine thing for baseball and that it made the minor leagues because it inspired the player to hustle. You can have good baseball only when the players do hustle. “Supposing I have two or three good young ball players on my club and they are ambitious to get in the major leagues. I wouldn't give a rap for a young player who didn’t aspire to get in the big league. They come to me and ask me if I couldn't do something to,get them up on the big time, and I would tell them, as I have told many young players: ‘Get out and hustle and you'll be drafted by some major league club. They like hustlers in the major leagues and once you get there you'll get plenty of help if you have the right spirit.’ “Y have observed the contrast in the spirit of young players since the draft was turned down against that of the old days when the majors used to get together at the end of the season and draw the stars from the minors. “When the draft was working, young players used to hustle from the first to the last game of the season. They were in there all the time. They didn’t go wide into a base and they didn’t swing at any- thing that came up to them. “They figured that they had a chance to cash in on their extra efforts and they went to it. “Now they know that when they develop to the point where th: e wanted in the majors that their boss will demand some exorbitant sum for them and that they will not get the chance to go up. They get the idea then that they gre a major league play demand a major yer’s salary, If they dc they want, they will play for you, but they'll only give you two hours’ work a day, and not very serious work at that.” “Minor league players and minor league managers know that I am right. Players know they haven't the chance to be sold into fast com- Pany that they once had of getting up by the draft. Managers know that they can’t develop young play ers unless they have the old spirit and the minor leagues depend upon the development of young players “It seems to me that the minor league owners are wrong when they figure that the draft would destroy the open market. Let us take current example to illustrate my point: “Ty Cobb said last fall that he could win the pennant for Detroi in 1924 if he could get a good secon¢ baseman. Supposing that Colum bus, for instance, had such a second baseman. Do you think for a minute that Detroit would refuse tc pay a fancy price for that playe and take a chance on losing him t« another club in the draft. Do yor think that the New York Yankees Aguring that this Columbus seconu baseman would make a serious con vender out of the Tigers, would re- fuse to run up the price for him or the long-shot chance that Detroi would not get him in the draft? ‘I have always maintained thai the draft made the market brisker for young players. That players who were good enough to com mand such respect could be sold for ‘ancy prices, regardless of the draft and that young players who didn’: have so much color and whp had just as much promise had thelt chance to get out and improve them selves by the draft, “A lot of club owners who are now shouting down proposals foi the restoration of the draft will have a good chance to see theit theories under the test in the Inter- national league. If the Interna tonal does not do something to get some help from the major league it will be a Class B league in five years.” SPRINTER FROM JORNS HOPKINS STILL LOOMS AS. ONE OF THE BEST By WALTER CAMP. Copyright, 1924, the Casper Tribune NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—That man Clark of Johns Hopkins, who has been looming up as a dark cloud on the horizon of the would-be sprint champions, gave them all afiother jolt Saturday night by covering the century at the Baltimore meet in 9 4-45 seconds on an indoor track. It looks as if Clark’s ‘finishing third, behind Murchinson and Mc- A ter.at the Wilco games, had vot frightened him off, but had merely spurred him on. Gorman, tn winning the skating title at Lake Placid, showed him- self worthy successor to Jewtraw who did not defend his title, For in the three mile event, Gorman had to “give all he had and then some” to finish a scant six feet ahead of Moore and Donovan. At the begin ning of this jorman was tied with Allen at Jole Ray looked bit bet t Boston, but the writer is of the op! fon that he is doing too much of t indoor racing for his own good. Ray is sterling r and has fine lungs and heart, but oth men have found that it is far more kill- ing to drive these organs indoors than out in the open where there is plenty of oxygen, ADVANCE GOSSIP ON LEAGUES Short Sketches of the Clubs and Training Camps Selected for Spring Work ‘ NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—Lakeland is at the junction of all the good roads in Florida and the Cleveland Ind train there. Automobiles thunder in and thunder out from all parts of the United States, and they speed so lively around the cor- ners that the Clevelands acquired the habit quickly and were playing faster ball at the end of the train ing season than any team in the state. There is a fine road between Lake- land and Tampa which 1s in use at ull times of the day and night and it takes only a brief trip to go over to Tampa and get a box of cigars. Between Tampa and Lakeland there is also much fruit, including straw- berries which are larger in some in- stances than a baseball, Lakeland has a lake, Hence its name. On the shore of the lake there are orange groves. While the Cleveland players were in Lakeland last spring they were taken out to e lake, A section of the beach id out for them and two or orange groves were planted they were told that they could t in the ¢ y right away and in Florida like rybody else. It looked lke a very good propo- sition, ve O'Neill said he had | mea Copyright 1924, Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co. ee thi beh Be 2 ab R ct he dN _ wanted to own a lake all his life. He had hoped from boyhood that the time would come when he could go to sleep at night and think that he could get up the next morning and have all that he wanted to drink. “The only trouble ts,” said Steve, “that in this game. you're here today and tomorrow in Berea. Maybe I wouldn't want the lake next year.” And such a truth, for Steve this spring will be with the Boston Americans hunting around San Antonio, Texas, to find a lake like the lake at Lakeland, while his team mates will be sitting on the hotel veranda with a crate of oranges on one side, a crate of Brapefruit on the other; a bow! of sugar on the porch rail and think- ing of the dear ones they miss. The bal! ground at Lakeland is as fast as everything else and if all goes well this spring the Clevelands expect to get back home with enough speed to last them untit next October, — = Casper Monument Works 503 South Conwell Phone 2 oe reekl shal eke SEND IT TO THE PEARL WHITH LAUNDRY PHONE 1702 STRIBLING IS LOSER IN BOUT Decision Given Jimmy Slattery in Six Round Affair. BUFFALO, N.
