FOSTER. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Nov, 19.—Opposition has developed to the re-election as President of the National league of John Heydler whose term expires this year, but it is not likely that a majority of the clubs in the gircult will be against him when the vote is taken at the league's annual meet: ing in December, Clubs which are counted upen to stand with Heydler are Bt. Louis, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and probably Chicago. That Includes five of the elght members of the eircult. The other three are New York, Cincinnati and Boston, {n Cincinnati, Herrmann 1s said not to favor Heydler because of the atti- tude Heydler assumed when Herr- mann permitted week after week to elapse without resigning as chair man.‘of the national commissio! Instructed by his Iéugue to do s Heydler suggested that the better in- terests of that circuit would: be served if Herrmann stepped down, He finally did. In the O'Connell-Dolan affafr, President Heydler has been ériticized by members of his circuit because he went first to Landis with the cage and did not notify others presumed to be more immediately concerned. ‘The president of the Nationa) leagu has, as much, authority under the rules to declare a player ineligible unless the National league wished te withdraw from organized base- ball and go it alone, It the president of the National league were instructed by his circuit to petition Judge Landis to change hia decision in regard te O'Connell and Dolan he probably would do so or resign if he was opposed to tak- ing such action, The matter of the “bearing down” bribery charge was put immediately by President Heydler before Judge Landis because the head of the Na- tonal league felt that these player: would come within a few days direct- ly’ under the authority of the com- missioner, who has full charge of the world series and therefore it ‘was not only courteous to him but, in a sense, imperative that he should bring the players before him and ascertain personally whether ther was any truth in the accusation made by Sand of the Philadelphia National league club. ‘ Itis also pretanie that Mr. Heyd- lev. judge Landis' greater exponent 1 in oriminal law, es law- yer and judge, By HENRY L.

There must be at least five hun- dred conferences and leagues oper- ating on regular sghedules in pro: fessional amateur, — ini interscholastic, sectional circies. There “are ten major intercolle- giate conferences, and perhaps one hundred state and sectional’ confer- ences and leagues.

Attendance figures for Inst sea- son reached marks that indicated a tremendous growth. The University of Michigan built a special basket- ball hall with a capacity of 9,000, and the demand for tickets could not be filled for the big games of the season, Ohio State University, which playa in an immense exhibition hall on the Columbua state fair grounds, is thought to have established a rec: ord when it played before 9 spectators during its home season. In Buffalo, an average of 6,000 spectators saw the games in the city league. The popularity of the sport in col- lege ranks is shown by the follow- ing list of major and intercollegi- ate conferences and the winners of the Jast championship. Eastern, Cornell; Western Con- ference, Illinols, Wisconsin and Chi- cago tied; Southern, North Carolina University; Midwest, Beloit; Mis- sourt Valley, Kansas; Rocky Moun- tagts Go'orado college; North-Cen- ;Cretghton; Southwest, Texas; Northwest, Cregon Aggies and the Pacific Coast conference, California. “It cant be seen from this list that basketball is in no way local and that it is popular in every section ofthe country.
