SPORTS- SPORTS. Fireworks Due at League Session : Centre Declines to Play : Notre Dame Bars Grid Stars REVISION OF BASE BALL RULES IS CONTEMPLATED Efforts to Combat Annual Hold-out Epidemic Expect- ed—Draft, Barnstorming, Reserve and Option Regulations on Progiam for Debate. By the Associated Press. N EW YORK, December. 13—Revision of the rules governing the great outdoor sport of Americans, and a general overhauling of the game, were contemplated when officials of the National League of base ball clubs meet in annual convention here today. There were no rooting crowds to urge the moguls of the game into action, nor did the swat of the ball on glove or bat resound on the battlefield, but there seemed to be journed. The owners and managers professed fatigue over the annual hold-out epi- demic and efforts were expected to so arrange things that when a star play- er goes off in a corner and pouts for more pennfes it will be possible to give him a good spanking and make him go to bat. There was under con- sideration a new contract, under which players would be signed for twelve months instead of the playing season. Some of the owners declared they | ‘would propose elimination of the rule preventing world series players from barnstorming, the clause that caused George Herman Ruth, Robert Meusel and William Piercy to be deprived of their world series money and to be suspended for about six weeks of the 1922 playing season. Other officials asserted their desire for a rule that ‘would curb the use of pinch hitters. ‘Want Reserve Limit Raised. ‘The present arrangement regarding players on the reserve list and play- ers out on optional agreement also was slated for argument. The major leagues are at present permitted to carry forty men on the reserve list and eight on optional agrements. They want the limit raised. respec- tively, to fifty and twelve. President Toole of the International League said yesterday that his league would have no objection to such increases, but it would like to see the big fel- lows try to keep measurably near. at least, to the limits designated. There will be some talk, it was said, about reduction of admission prices. but some of the wiseacres declared that the owners knew that the fans would pay what they asked and that they didn’t expect any reduction, ex- cept perhaps for world series games. The International League failed to clear up its arguments in yesterday's session and was to meet again today. President Toole said there were “sev- eral important matters” to settle. The league yesterday voted to refrain from any discussion of the present draft system during the life of the rule seven years (the term of office of Commissioner Landls). “If the majors come forward with an equitable proposition for a new drafting system.” Mr. Toole said. “we would be glad to adopt it, but as the system stands we cannot consider it for a moment.” Minors Fear Invasion. Mr. Toole, President Hickey of the American Association and President McCarthy of the Coast League will confer with the majors Thursday re- garding the rule having to do with the invasion of minor league territory by a major league. The minors, it ‘was sald, are worried about the stand- ing rule and have fears that the Na- tional League is casting longing ey at Toronto and, maybe, another city in_their territory. Miller Huggins announced today that he expected to manage the Yan- kees again next season, and said that he would talk with Cols. Huston and Ruppert some time auring the day. Brooklyn's bosses ware Feported to be talking trades and cash with Cin- cinnati and Pittsburgh. The Pirates were said to be willing to part with ‘Whitted and Schmidt in exchange for ‘Wheat and Myers. Schmidt, one of the league’s best backstops, has asked to be traded, and the Superbas are known to be in the market for a catcher. However, they may consider ‘Wheat too valuable. e URGES LIMIT ON PRICES PAID FOR MINOR TALENT NEW YORK, December 13.—John A. ‘Heydler, president of the National League, announces that at the annual meeting of the league today he will recommend as a defensive and pro= tective measure against the draft-re- sisting Class AA miners, a rule fixing the maximum amount any major league club could pay for a minor league player. “The minor leagues,” said Mr. Heyd- ler, “evidently believe they can con- tinue to hold up the majors for all sorts of fancy prices for their play- ers. do mot know what the club owners will think about my price 1imit suggestion, nor do I know what the American League would do if we adopted that measure and presented it to the ouu;huasdulon. at the oint meeting lursday.” 2 ‘Mr. Heydler declared that reinstitu- tion of the draft would not prevent minor clubs from selling their best players, as they could place them on the market previous to the draft. ‘While they would not get any of the present fancy prices, he said, they would give the young stars a chance to realize their ambitions by joining the majors. McDONALD IS RETAINED AS CHATTANOOGA PILOT Failing _to secure the reinstate- ment of Bob Higgins, suspended for jumping the Atlanta club in midsea- son In 1920, the management of the Chattanooga Southern Association club has announced that Second Base- man Eddle McDonald would be re- tained as manager for the season of 1923.

The president m: ined hix at- titude of silence regarding his plans for acquiring new players and laughed at rumors that efther Riee of Judge might go to the Yankees for Peckinpaugh or fig- ure in any deal, but admitted he could make good of Joe Du- gan, if the Athletics were willing to trade their third basem: “Connie Mack has asserted right along that he would not trade or sell any of his good players,” Grift said, “and o far ax I know that still holds.

He will business here, it was said. ST. PAUL, Minn.. December 13.— John W. Norton, president of the St. Paul club, expressed surprise today when informed of a newspaper dis- patch saying that Leo Dressen had jumped to Hibbing. “Hibbing has applied for admission to organized base ball as part of the proposed Northern League,” said No ton. “The circuit may not be com: pleted in time for the 1922 season, but if it is players who sign outlaw con- tracts will be out of luck.” enguge ‘a Thirteen of Notre Dame’s varsity Sool ball players will graduate in une. | DUNN REPORTED WILLING TO DISPOSE OF BENTLEY BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, December 13—Base ball men are as thick as bees around the Hotel Commodore. confabs, and, incidentally, for N on. There are a lot of trades in the air, but nothing has developed at this writing that will shock the natives, after what was pulled off at Buffalo. It was made plam at the annual meeting of the new International League yesterday that that circuit is not going to dust the shelves of base ball for the other fellows, and the owners can hardly be blamed for. their stand. The International is not going to declare itself for the draft, but if some one will only get Commissioner Landis to suggest that there be created a nice, pleasant draft, which shall begin at the top and work right down to the bottom, every one hav- ing an opportunity to par for the privilege of pulling a chestnut or two out of the fire, the International will smile its prettiest and vote aye. That is the way the majority of the International owners feel after talk- ing things over a day and pondering upon the words of wisdom that were dropped by Judge Landis at the Buf- falo dinner. Dunn May Sell Beatley. 1t also is variously rumored and alleged that Jack Dunn of Baltimore has come to the parting of the ways with some of his players, first of them being Bentley, who pitches and plays first base. Bentley did not get as much_collateral out of his last year at Baltimore as he thinks that ‘he deserves as an uplifter of the game. If he can get into & major league club he is sure that the first year should bring him at least $2,000 or $3,000 more for elevating the pas- time. In 1921 Dunn was confident that his Baltimore team would do very well for the players because he was sure that Baltimore would get into the little world series and quite as sure that the players would realize handsomely from it. The receipts of the series were a disappointment. Baltimore was defeated and the short end of the reward was little better than ice cream money for the players. Things do not look as bright and cheerful as they might for Baltimore in 1922. There is not much hope that the Orioles will win the championship as handily as they did in 1921 and In addition, Bentley would like ?:":ES;! the world. If it took $100,000 to buy Groh, how much will it take to get Bentley? That's the next ques- tion, and when any one asks Jack Dunn to set a figure on a ball player it is equivalent to asking him to sell a producing gold mine. Big Leaguers Are Interested. There is not a team in the Interna- tional League that will take Bentley because the price is away beyond the pocketbooks of Dunn’s partners in the circuit. Perhaps three major league clubs would be interested if the price were within reason. Branch Rickey might have bid for him for the St. Louis club if Rickey had not al- ready engaged Del Galnor.

Envious eyes are cast on Ogden, a Baltimore pitcher, but Ogden is not likely ‘to get away from Baltimore. Once Garry Herrmann was quoted as saying that the Cincinnati club had thousands and thousands of dollars to invest in the best Baltimore players if ever they were placed on the block. Garry has loaded up with so much material from out California way that| Baltimore now seems to be out of the question. If Cincinnati should hap- pen to win the pennant in 1922—and it might be possible if three or four clubs got out of the way—California will take as much interest in the suc- cees of Cincinnati as the boys who sit in the river bottoms of the Ohio and muse over the Reds in 1919.
