SPORTS. SPLIT BETWEEN MAJORS ° AND MINORS THREATENED Griffith to Urge' Discarding All Player Limits Unless Rule is Restored—Plans Long Training for Young Pitchers in Spring. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. RGANIZED bate ball again faces the prospect oi being rent by civil war. The player draft rule is the crux of the latest menace to the peace and prosperity of the national pastime, and the out~ look is that uuless the circuits of lesser classification consent to re- establishment of the old rule providing for advancement of players by sclection at a fair price diplomatic relations between the big and little leagues may be completely, severed. '”‘li.\ at least is the view expressed by Clark Griffith last night on the | eve of his departure for Buffalo, where the annual convention of the ]| minors wiil get under way Tuesday. Grff is emphatic in the beliei that i the present arrangement whereby a minor organization may or may not subscribe to the draft at its option is inequi‘able to the majors, uniair | to pla in laying base ball open to attack in provisions of the anti-trust law. Proposals recently have been made that when the majors go into session in New York a couple of weeks hence the off-season players limit be in- creased from forty to fifty men and the number of players who may be Leld on option during the playlng sea-: son be raised from eight to fifteen. These suggestions have been advanced to provide relief to the majors from the situation resulting from elimina- tion of the draft. As the big leaguers no longer can draft from the Class AA organizations and cannot purchase from them if they decline to sell they Lave been up against the proposition of developing players to & larger e: tent than formerly, with a ¥reatly r stric supply of raw ent. In reasing the maximum of voungsters who can be carried in the spring and placed out for further schooling Will | increase the chances of discover- correspondingly league manage ing a first-ck player or two. but, ording to Griffith, the increases roposed do not constitute action drastic enough to meet the situation. Departs Prepared to Fight. “I am going to Buffalo with a view to_persuading the minor leaguers to take a sensible view of the situation, Griff say. ing like mules to have all number of pl ried or placed for development. am opposed to temporizing with thes fellows any longer and I believe a zreat majorfty of the big league owners feel With no restrictions on the number of players to be carried the issue will be fought out on a b of cash and the minors know where they would finish in that event. I hope they will see the light. The proposal that the rule concern- Ing barnstorming, brought into focus by Babe Ruth's action in kicking over the traces, be altered by discarding the existing form of contract so that the attual contractual period will ex- tend over the entire period of twelve months instead of just six months of the year is scoffed at by Griffith. At present individual members championship club are prohibited from comriercializing their base ball ability in the off season while mem- bers of other teams are permitted to make some eay money through exhibitions if their employers raise no objection. According to Griff, all t magnates now need to prevent their valued performers from running the risk of injurles in the off season is backbone enough to refuse permis- sion for them to engage in activities that will endanger them. Grifft After New Talent. Nothing came of the series of pow- wows held here in the last two days between Griffith and, President Klep- per of the Portland club, who is try ing to obtain a manager, some pitch- ers, a couple -6f inflelders and what- not in exchange for Pillette and Johrf- %on, hurlers of youth and promise, but undetermined ability. Klepper has sounded practically- every big league club owner and probably will consummate a deal during the meet- ing in Buffalo, but whether it will be with Washington is problematical. While mingling with the moguls, major and minor, at the Buffalo con- ference Griffith "will keep an eye peeled for pitchers, but will not over- look a chance to snare an inflelder or M outfielder. als is hopeful that O'Rourke’s throw- ing arm will be so benefited by the treatments he now is undergoing as to make further search for a short- stop unnecessary, but if he can snare a competent short fielder or third baseman he will jump at the oppor- tunity. Griff is not backward about stating that any new far-corner guardian will have to show a lot of class to displace Howard Shanks, who im- proved in his play greatly last season and boosted his batting average to a point higher than he ever before at- tained. Should a ciassy third base- man fall to the lot of the Nationals, however, Shanks would forthwith be shunted to the garden, where de- fensively he is one of the greatest performers in the business and on at- tack he suffers nothing in comparison with Bing Miller. in addition to be- ing a far better base runner and pos- sessing a good base ball head. Miller then would be available for service in the event cither Milan or Goslin fell into a slump or the latter ex- perienced _difficulty in connecting with the shoots of left-handers. Plans Much Work for Kids. Determined to avoid a repetition of the complete Tollapse of the mound corps which last season prevented the Nationals from finishing higher than fourth place. Griffith has decided upon radicl departure in spring training methods for his moundsmen. Instead of having the hurlers report a short time before the regulars the Nationals' I am going to fight imits removed on the rs who may be car- 1 boss has announced he will assemble all the young heavers on his roster and escort them to Tampa a week or ten days earlier than has been the custom. He intends to personal! pervise their work and believes that by careful attention he cannot only sclect the wheat from the chaff with- out having to cart therh all back north for final inspection, but have wares at the camp., where good pitch- ing is needed for the batting drills of his regulars. Heretofore an epidemic of sore arms among the flinging hopefuls invari- bly has developed just at the period in the conditioning of the team when they are in greatest demand for tar- get practice. Just how many will comprise the squad that will invade Florida about the middle of February ; is unsettled, but Griff intends to.take @'l the juvenile fingers on his roster Off before the time to start this means the following athletes will be in the party: Ray Francis, Harry Courtney.

Y. Jordan expects to have in the local backfield one of the greatest players ever developed with a southern col- lege squad. Tim has kept the ath- lete's name to himself, but rumor has it that he is a Georgia Tech product and not one that has played here before. The Senators probably will need some new material, for this Rochester team comes here with a most im- posing record and an equally impos- ing array of talent. Berry of Penn, Boynton of Willlams, Alexander of Syracuse, Barron of Georgetown and others of like caliber are on the eleven, which means that the locals will not be able to do much loafing. Here is the tentative Rochester line-up: Roy, left end; Thomas, left tackle: Smith, left guard; Alexander, center; Morissey, right guard; Barron, right tackle; Witter, right end; Boyn- ton, quarterback; Barry, left half- back; Laird, right halfback; Noonan, fullback.

APPEARS ON TIGERS' GRID LIST PRINCETON, N. J., December 3.— Frinceton’s 1922 foot ball schedule calls-for eight games, the first on Sep- tember 30, with John Hopkins, and the final one on November 18. with Yale, at Princeton. The Tigers pleyed only seven contests this year and the extra game has been added to_afford more preliminary work. In general the schedule is much the same ae that of this fall, the most complete change gbeing omission of the Navy, whose place is to be taken by the University of Maryland. Johns Hopkins also is a newcomer. made, it was generally felt that the Middies would have to be dropped next year because of the arrangement with ~ Chicago, which called for a trip to the west on OctoBer 28, only two weeks before the Harvard game. This left October 21 as the only pos- sible date for a battle with the ‘Sail- ors, and it was thought that this would have been too much for any eleven with three hard games in the rext four weeks, two of them away from home. The schedule follows: September 30, Johns Hopkins; tober 7, Virginia; 14, Colgati 21, Maryland; 28, Chicago at Chicago; No- vember 4, Swarthmore; 11, Harvard, at Cambridge; 18, Yale. | D. largest foot ball crowd that husky team by a score of 14 to 2 an record. : - - The_ Pennsylyanians .made two ! fumble.

PRESENT RULES INSURE THRILLS IN FOOT BALL |Banner Attendance Is Feature of Campaign Marked STALWARTS OF DOUGHBOY TEAM VANQUISHED BY DEVIL DOGS STINGIE 'Rught Endo By Comparatively Few Fatalities—Several Queer Championship Tangles Developed. BY WALTER CAMP. N closed, and never was there EVER before in the history of foot ball has there been a season characterized by so many remarkable happenings as the one just a year in which the interest was so well sustained all the way through. The spectator never went to a 'game without feeling that something extraordinary might happer. One of the remarkable features of foot ball today is that, no matter what the score is, no one leaves the stand until the final whistle blows for fear of missing some marvelous run or pass to be remembered a lifetime. There were comparatively few deaths in foot ball games this season, an even dozen rounding out that ac- count, of which only one was a col- lege player. The rules, while on ac- count of the shifts and the forward passes. put a considerable strain on the officials, proved satisfactory in the main. They had this great ad- vantage that the public’ was not obliged to learn new rules or changes. The game has crystallized into a very acceptable balance of attack and de- fense, with some close. hard running play and some open play and enough | kicking to make that still a decided asset. Several Title Tanxles. The season closed with several queer combinations, the Yale - Harvard - Princeton games resulting in a triple tie. Princeton beating Harvard, Yale beating Princeton and Harvard beat- ing Yale. Among other teams in the ‘east the situation was a complicated one, Cornell, Lafayette and Washing- ton and Jefferson going through the season undefeated and untied. Yet Pennsylvania State is conceded to be certainly on an equality and possibly ahead of these three, although tied by both Harvard and Pittsburgh, - Out on the Pacific coast, California defeated everything in sight and the middle west conference championship was won by Iowa. Centre and Georgia Tech were the two outstanding teams of the south, and the Missouri valley champion ~was Nebraska. Notre Dame, defeated in an early season game by Iowa, came east and defeat- | ed the Army overwhelmingly and made a most convincing showing. | The Navy won the great annual serv- ice game with the Army, although very hard pressed in the last few minutes. Interest Comtinues Stromg. Although the season of student foot bali ended the Saturday after Thanks- giving day, interest in the game still is sustained by the probability of an east-west contest on the Pacific coast around Christmas time. So great has grown the interest in the gridiron pastime that, even without this final 1 holidays, occupying the thoughts of both the ‘collegian and the sports en- thusiast with resumes of the season. the selection of the stars and the plans for another year. And no wonder this is 0. when one realizes the numbers engaged in the play and number of spectators. On one Saturday in October alone there were 140 contests important enough to be scheduled ‘in the official guide, and there were between 8,000 and 10,000 players in uniform that day, to say nothing of the prep school play- ers. Over half a million people saw the home games alone of Yale, Har- vard and Princeton. (Copyright, 1921.)

Florida made a desperate effort in the final stages of the game. Adopt- ing an aerial attack in the third pe- riod, they made a touchdown and later succeeded in rushing the ball to North Carolina’s 10-yard line before they were stopped. Despite the warm weather, there ‘were thrills aplenty for the some 7.500 fans. The Tarheels overcame a disadvan- tage in weight of twenty pounds to the man by fleetness of foot and aerial passes, aided materially by foot ball technique. Capt. Lowe served as the pivot - from which eleven forward passes were put through. Two of these passes gave the Carolinians the victory. « Florida's first score came after a few minutes of play, when Dixon kicked a goal from placement from midfield. The second and final came when Dixon tossed a pass to Garlton for a 20-yard gain. - The work of Lowe and Johhson in Carolina’s backfleld featured, while Pomeroy bore the brunt of Florida's offensive efforts: Line-Up and Summary.
