Coast League May Declare Independence : Brilliant Indoor Track Season Is Promised ~ TERRITORY IS SUFFICIENT FOR MAJOR ORGANIZATION Does Not Object to Theory of Draft, but Is Opposed to Its Own Players Being Taken by This Method. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, December 19.—W N iously westward for some indication League. It would not be surprising 'hen the smoke cleared away today after the base ball meetings last week, during which the draft principle was restored, major league magnatés were peering anx- as to the attitude of the Pacific Coast to close followers of the game if the long expected declaration of independence were forthcoming on thig issue. In the agitation for a universal draft the main principle for which the Pacific coast circuit is contendi is not the theory and the practice of as it is to the drafting of players from the P: This organization, which embraces all the western coast of the United States and goes back into Utah to complete its circuit, considers itselt a major league body even if the pres- ent agreed-on classification does not give it that distinction. Its ter- ritorial boundaries are sufficiently ample for big league purposes though population is not numerically com- para with that of the present major league organizations. Ultimate- 1y it expects to have cities quite as large a¥ those of the east, and at the e contains in its cireuit quite important in other ways as some of those in the major leagues ten years ago. Due to Assert Itself. ‘The time is sure to come in base ball when the Pacific Coast League will assert and maintain for itself all of the privileges that go with a major league. It seems to be the impression of some of those who are now in a capacity both advisory and executive that this is as good a time as an other to declare for the supremacy of | California base ball. The fact has been quite overlooked by those who are dealing with the present situation that the Pacific Coast League in former years declined to abide by the rules of organized base ball in full. The coast men ob- served the reserve rule and respected contracts, and that was as far as they would go. They did not bow to the draft. and they declared unto themselves all the privileges which the major leagues as- sert as their own because of priority of organization. Except for this as- sumption based on priority there is not a reason in the athletic world why all base ball leagues should not be on a common basis, as the maor leagues have no authority except that which they have delegated to themselve: The Pacific Coast League know and is again ready to assert its right of independence from any claims which the two present major organizations may declare over it. While the Amer- ican Association and the New Inter- national League are somewhat more modest than the Pacific Coast League, they aspire, and they have the great American privilege to do that. Hends Are Not Turned. The foregoing Is the real story be. hind all this draft agitation. It | the little rumble which precedes all; moves toward independence in sports or other matters. The Pacific coast believes very strongly in Its impor- tance in all branches of athletics. Its successes have not turned the heads of its promoters. On the contrary suc- cesses have started them to think, and that is why organized base ball must use much persuasion and introduce - sound argument to convince the west- ern coast that it is not fully as com- petent to manage its base ball in its own way as is the section east of the Mississippi river, and above every- thing establish the fact that San Fran- cisco is of as much importance in base | ball as New York or St. Louis.

BIG PRIGES FOR MINORS PROVES BANE T0 SWAPS NEW YORK, December 19.—Base ball enthusiasts, seeking a reason for tae dearth of trading of players be- tween major league ciubs which marked last week's gathering of the clans, at- tribute it to the high prices paid for minors, which has thrown the market out of gear and has given the club owners something to think about. The sensational sales made by Pacific coast clubs to teams in the big circuits are believed by followers of the game to_be responsible for the lack of action The subject became = topic of tae sport after the big league magnates had ended their session, and it was found that" only one deal sending 4 players from one major league club to another had been the putcome of the ‘week. From the viewpoint of the fan in this respect, it was said, the sessions were a_disappointment. An iLustration of the sentiment in re- gard to the decline in player trading was given by Ty Cobb, when ae re- marked that if a man like Jimmy O'Con- nell, Who has been in . minor league base ball only two vears, was worth $75,000, what was Bob Veach, a proven .350 hitter and a ball hawk, worth in the open market?

QUESTION In a discuxsion about the draft and sandlotters and college play- ers Judge Landin waws asked the other day, “Would you advise a eolleginn to ‘go into professional baxe ball?” “Hold on, there—that's one question I will not answer,” the judge exelaimed, with upraived hands. “I beg to be excused from telling any young man what to do when he seieets his profession or trade. That'x a matter for him to decide entirely for himself.” 1t seems that many college play- erx have written to Judge Landis for hix opinion of professional base ball ax a profession—and he always declines to commit himwelf. He's a wie judge. (GIANTS PLAN T0 TRAI | IN CALIFORNIA IN 1923 | . SAN FRANCISCO, ‘December 19.— { Announcement that the New York { Giants will train in California in 1923 (was made by Dr. Charles H. Strub, presigent of the San Francisco club of he Pacific Coast Base Ball League. Strub has Jjust returned from the east. Before Dr. Strub left New York he was authorized by Manager McGraw «nd President Stoneham of the Giants to select a California site for the world ckampions in the spring of 1923. { The Giants while in the west prob- ably will play with the coast league clubs training in California. Dr. Strub wilt not select a site for | the Giants' camp until the close of the 1922 season. (RUTH MAY PLAY FIRST FOR THE YANKEES “IF" NEW YORK, December 19.—If the Yankees get Bob Veach from the De- | troit Tigers, and if Babe Ruth is re- {instated by Judge Landis after_his term of suspension expires on May |22, and if Bob Meusel also is rein- jstated. then the Amefican League fans at the Polo Grounds probably jwill see the Bambino playing first base for the Hugginsites next season. Quite a bunch of “ifs,” but it wou)d seem at present that there is more ithan an even chance that all these ter transferred from the sun fleld in left to_the spot where Walter Pipp has been playing for the ldst six seasons. The biggest point in favor of such a change in the defense of the Yanks is the’fact that Ruth wants. to play first base. He likes to be close to the firing line, where the fighting is hot- test. He likes action and dislikes standing in the outfleld with little to do in a game. G. U. WILL PLAY PENN AT BASE BALL MAY 20 PHILADELPHIA, December 19— University of Pennsylvania's base ball schedule for next spring includes the following games, those not other- wise designated to be played at Franklin Field: April 25, Muhlenburg; 29, Yale New Haven. May 2, Swarthmore at Swarthmore; 4, Lehigh: 6, Navy: 10, Lafayette: 16, Swarthmore: 20, Georgetown; 24, Army at West Point. June 3, Harvard at Cambridge; 9, Lafayette at Easton; 13, Washington iat Chestertown, M 16, Colgate at Hamilton, and 17, Cornell at Ithaca. SALARY LIMIT IS CUT FOR VIRGINIA LEAGUE NORFOLK, Va., December 19.—Vir- ginia League owners have fixed a salary limit of $3,000 a month, and a player limit of fourteen men, ex- clusivg of the manager. Salary of the manager is not included in the limit, which is a reduction of $200 a month as compared with last year. NAVY TEAMS UNDEFEATED IN RING AND MAT SPORTS NNAPOLIS, December 19.—In A ing position. During the two years the sports which are based entirely upon the personal opposition of man to man, namely boxing and wrestling, the Naval Academy has for some time occupied a lead- in which boxing has been numbered among the competitive sports of the colleges the midshipmen have been unbeaten, and for three years they have not lost a match on the wres- tling mat. In both sports they have met the strongest teams of the college world. The Naval Academy owes a con- siderable debt in this connection to larly to Annapolis. inclination of a number of the big col- leges to venture conclusions with the Naval lads has been most obvious, but Penn State’s course has been the op- posite. One defeat has apparently made them keener to try conclusions again, and it has only been through the opportunity given ,the Midship- men of measuring strength with such a skilled opponent as Penn State that the academy’s standing in these branches has been demonstrated. Much to the satisfaction of the Naval people, there will be an opportunity this yewr of returning a visit. The wrestiling team, making itsyfirst trip from Annapolis for a match, will go to Penn State on March 11. It 1s also probable that the boxing teams will meet un neutral grounds, at the finals of the Intercollegiate Boxing Association, to be held in Philadelphia, Drobably on March 18. The first regular work in both these lines was done at the Naval Academy this weeh. About 300 reported to the boxing coach, Spike Webb, and at least 200 o the wrestling mentors, Messrs. Schutz and Lynch. Elimina- tion bouts are going on regularly, and each squad will be reduced to about forty. The brighest prospects are ahead of the wrestlers, with a schedule of more interest than for many years previous. Five of the seven regular wrestiors of last season are again a there is an abundance of material, with \ lable, and ' that the possible exception of the heavy- weight class. Lewls, one of the best light-heavies who ever represented a college, is captain this year. % The coaches have not been inactive in regard to developing a heavy- weight to take the place of the gigan- tic Willkie, who has -graduated. Carney and Hudgins, foot ball line- men, each weighing around 215 pounds, have promised to take up the grappling sport in earnest, and the coaches are quite hopeful of the Navy’s chances at the weight. Besides the Pennsylvania State match, the Navy team will try con- clusions during the season with Brooklyn Poly, Washington and Lee, Pennsylvania, Brown, Lehigh and Massachusetts Tech, and, probably, West Virginia and Dartmouth. The Intercollegiate Wrestling Associa- tion persists in its determination to prevent the membership of the Ni va&l an Academy, and- Cornell, Yale Princeton has declined requests for matches. Boxing was_dealt a severe blow through graduation, and will lose four of its regulars of last year, Mis- son, Miller, Jones and Waggoner. The squad, however. will be strongly re- cruited from the foot ball aggrega- tion, among those who have taken up the sport being rson, Conroy, Barchet, Matthews, Hamilton, Mc- Bride, O'Regan, Flaherty and Rooney. A promising heavyweight is Powell, an A. E.

Prout, national president of the American Amateur Unfon, has de- clared that if Jole Ray, Frank Loomis, Loren Murchison and Jackson Scholz were found to be guilty of charges of professlonalism brought against them they would be disciplined. He as- serted that those responsible for the games concerned would also be ade- quately punished. “I believe that the people who tempt boys to violate amateur rulings are more guilty than those actually committing the breaches of disci- pline,” he said.

They clinched the title yesterday at Union Park by defeating the Stantons, 6 to 0, in a bitterly con- tested battle. The Little Indians have been beaten only once this scason, and then by the much heavier Southerns, by a 2-to-0 score. The only touchdown was made in the first period after the Little In- dians had obtained the ball on the Stanton 40-vard line. A series of line plunges ended with Quarterback*Egan carrving the ball across the goal. White missed his kick for the extra point. Stanton never was able to get Vithin_the Mohawk Juniors’ 20-yard ine. The play of Monk Fraser, right halfback: for Stanton, was the feature of the engagement. This stocky grid- man slammed into the Indian line, dashed past tackles and skirted ends almost at will when play was be- tween the opposing 30-vard lines. Halfback Smithson and Right Tackle Fry starred for the winners. Knickerbocker Club concluded its season yesterday with a 31-10-0 vie- tory over the Emanons. The Knicks Carroll, Cox and Sothren starred for the winners, while Sullivan and Day were best of the Emanons. Truxton Athletic Club went to Alex- andria and took a 7-to-0 drubbing from the heavier Dreadnaughts. Has- » made the touchdown and kicked he goal in the third period. Dorsett, Mills and Bowman did much good playing for the Washington eleven. Friendship Athletic Club took the measure of the Quincy Reserves in a t0-0 engagement. Free and Schneider scored the touchdowns, the latter crossing goal after a 60-yard broken field dash. —_— BOYNTON’S GREAT PASSING !TRACK AND LACROSSE FAILS TO BEAT CANTONESE! and Washington gridiron fan N American quarterback, in the professi tors and the Canton Bulldogs. Nearly 6,000 foot ball devotees at Amegican League Park saw the stacky general of the local eleven hurl passes to the right, to the left and over the opposing line for distances varying from 5 to 40 yards, and generally the ball went true to its mark. For the second time within three weeks, the Senators lost to the Bulldogs, but it was not Boynton's fault, for he was largely responsible for the locals’ portion of the 28-to-14 score. Boynton Starts Early. z Boynton began his wonderful .pass- ing early in the game and kept the Cantonese secondary defense on its toes all the way. Well beaten in the first quarter, when Canton made two touchdowns, both on forward passes by Robb to Higgins, Washington came to life in the second period. Boynton opened his team’s play, and with long heaves to Vidal, former Army star, soon neared Canton's goal. Then came a lengthy toss and a great catch by Hudson, who fell across goal for Washington's first block of points. More wonderful passing by Boyn- | MAY GET G0 WITH IACK 1 I NEW YORK, December 19.—A lot of boxing promoters are hard up. They are not hard up for cash, but hard up for oponents to match against one Jack Dempsey. They can see assur- ances of all kinds of coin if they can put the heavyweight champion in the ring with an opponent who could give him even the semblance of a battle, but they cannot find the opponent. How hard up they are was shown to- day when it was announced that the winner of the Gene Tunney-Eddie O'Hare fight Thursday night might be matched with Dempsey next spring. O'Hare was one of Dempsey’s spar- ring partners when the champion pre- pared for his Carpentier battle, and was the best of the lot. He was the only boxer in the champion’'s camp who could make Jack miss, and he landed on the heavyweight king hard and often, but he is far lighter than Dempsey and far from championship class. Tunney is a good, big, clever boy, but he has small hands, and every time ne cuts loose with a haymaker he is likely to break one of them. | Mike Gibbons is coming on to New York to press his claims to the first match against Johnny Wilson, the mid. dleweight titleholder, now that the lat- ter has signed a treaty of peace with { Tex Rickard.

It was in this qudr- ter that Boynton's good generalship completely baffled the Cantonese. Once Washington had the ball at fourth down on its own 5-yard line and needed about 7 yards to make it first down. The team was formed for a punt, but, contrary to all foot ball ethics, Boynton made a short pass to Patterson that gained the] necessary distance. There were others in the game who gave excellent exhibitions. Vidal, playing his first game with Wash- iggfon, made good with-a vengeance, both as a running back and as a re- ceiver of passes.
