12 SPORTS. Base Ball Powers Still Struggling With Draft Question FINAL ACTION ON PROBLEM . UP TO ADVISORY COUNCIL Important Matters Before Holdover Session Today —Revision of World Series Rules Shows Suc- cess of Game’s New Governing Code. N base ball convened today in a holdover meeting to consider im- portant questions of base ball policy and administration submitted to it for final action by the big league officials who completed their an- nual conferences yesterday. Foremost of the problems left for the council to solve was the draft ruling which the majors want restored and to which certain minor leagues object. However, President Toole of the International League, President Hickey of the American Association and President McCarthy of the Pacific Coast League, acting as a Class AA league’s committee, were to EW YORK, December 17—Members of the advisory council of THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 192L ‘What’s New, Anyway ? meet members of the council in an effort to come to terms. All of the minor leagues of the country, with the exception of those of class AA ratig. the Western League, a class A circuit, and the Three-Eye League of class B, have subscribed to the principles of the draft. The advisory council is composed of Commissioner Landis, the presidents of the American and National Leagu. and Mi 1 Sexton and John H. rell, president sec: tively, of the Alinor’ League Base Ball Clubs. Change Involves Much Work. The most important amendment to the major league code adopted to date during the week of conferences was the curtailing of the world series games from nine to seven. This change will involve much work for the advisory council, for, according to President Heydler, nearly fifty rules pertaining to the series wiil have to be changed. These changes ill be formulated by the council ithin the next two months and sub- mitted to the major leagues for rati- fication at the annual spring sched- ule meetings. President Heydler m discussing this feature of the conference said: “T consider the ready acceptance of Judge Landis' deciding vote on this guestion a complete demonstration of the satisfactory and harmonious working of the new agreement of the jof professionalism against Joie Ra FOURNOTED ATHLETES FACING PR CHARGES CHICAGO, December 17.—Charges INVENTED BY THE KOREANS i fleet runner of the Ilinois A. C.; Loren Murchison, also of the Tri-Color | Club, and Joe and Frank Loomis of the Chicago A. A. are being investi- gated by the registration commiltee of Central A. A. U. here today. Other athletes who have made trips_into the east will also be investigated and in addition the committee will set dates and award _indoor and outdoor championships. Ray has announced his_retirement. When the national A. A. U. conven- tion was held in Chicago, it was ru- mored the national association would prefer charges against these athletes if the central body did not take some action. Rather than have the regis- tration committee of the national body do the investigating. today’s meeting was called.

Promo(ers] major leagues. As was stated after the meeting, the American League favored the reduction, while the Na- tional League, as a unit, voted for the retention of the nine-game plan. | Judge Landis was thus forced to | the deciding vote and his deci was immediately accepted as factory and final by both groups. Proves Worth of New Code. “When it is considered that by re- ducing the number of games from; nine to seven the club owners, the leagues and the commissioner’s of- fice are the heaviest losers, from a financial standpoint, the prompt sup- port of his verdict, which he stated was in reality that of the spectator, completely demonstrated the success of the base ball reorganization plan adopted a year ago. “From the players’ standpoint, the monetary loss is not so great, for they will share in the proceeds of the first four games, presumably, as in the past when seven games com- posed the series. The change, of course; will prevent new attendance and gate receipts records for some years to come, at least. The action in its finality represented the pre- sumed desire of the fan and Judge Landis may be said to have cast the fan's vote on the proposition.

In games so far plaved the Manual Trainers have done well defensively, but through poor aim have tossed away numerous chances to count.

Between the sessions at Buffalo and those at New York the attention of the other businesses of the various base ball solons has been diverted except as the telegraph was called into play, and there has been more done than was expected when they first started.

EW YORK, December 17—Men who control the major leagues have spent most of the last twenty-four hours puttering around = with technicalities. It is astonishing what non-observance of technicalities has had to do with proiessional base ball in the past.

GAME| ‘Trained to the minute Gallaudet's quint will invade the big gymnasium at Brookland tonight determined to avenge the defeats it suffered last winter at the hands of the Catholic University basketers. The Kendall Greeners have practically a veteran combination that is quite confident of pointing the way to the Maroon and Black. The engagement, which will follow a match between the Gallaudet Reserves and Catholic University freshmen, will mark the opening of the college basket ball season here. Gallaudet likely will open play with Boatwright and Seipp at forwards, La Fountain at center and Lahn and Waller at guards. In Boatwright and La Fountain the team will have a very capable pair of goal shooters. These men were unusually accurate with their tosses last season. Seipp also is an excellent shot. The Brooklanders probably will de- pend upon Dowd and Lawler, for- wards; Yeager, center, and Lynch and Corwin, guards. Lynch, who captains the team, is expected to worry the Gallaudet shooters not a little. As a roving guard he was about the best among the college teams in this sec- tion last year.

KILLINGER, GRID STAR, SOUGHT BY SENATORS Bob Higgins' array of professional foot ball talent known as the Canton Bull- dogs, will not find the Senators such “easy pickin's” tomorrow as they did last month, if Manager Jordan ean bolster the locals as he desires: The boss of the Washington paid eleven is angling "for Glenn Lillinger, generally regarded as the greatest back who stepped on gridirons during the past season, and according to Jordan, chances are bright for landing the Penn State star. Should Killenger take a place alongside Benny Boynton, v:onderful Williams quarterback, at American | League Park tomorrow afternoon, the Senators will be well fortified for the ray. The Canton team will have about the same line-up that upset the Henators on the sloppy gridiron here in November, West and Henry, -American tackles, and Robb, Catholic University foot ball mentor, who was a star at Penn Btate several seasons ago, are the malnstays of_the Ohio combination.
