Reds Are on a Hunt for Pitching Talent : Leonard’s Rivals Growing Rapidly MORAN SEES FLAG HOPE IN TWIRLERS OBTAINED BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, November 15—Pat Moran of Cincinnati is the busiest N little manager in the National League. Pat may not insert adver- ] tisements in the Cincinnati papers offering to trade a motor lawn mower, two bat bags, a second baseman, a half dozen rookies and a mas- cot for “one pitcher or what have you,” but that is his general attitude. Moran is “working every combination he can think of to strengthen the Reds’ pitching staff, because deep down in his heart is the belief that he has a contending nine ior the National League pennant in 1923.

GRIFF DOUBTS B0YCOT PLAN IN DRAFT SCRAP NEW YORK, November 15.—A pro- posal that the American League boy- cott the minor leagues which have held out against the draft will be made by | Ban Johnson at the December meeting of the junior circuit in New York, ac- cording to reports here today. This, it was said, is the bomb which Mr. Johnson said recently he intended to toss into the meeting. The draft question has been agitating base, ball for the last two vears. When Commissioner Landis was inducted into office five of the minor leagues obtained exemption from the provisions of the draft agreement. Last year a proposal that the five minor leagues be boycotted failed at a meeting of the National League clubs. Now it is proposed, ac- cording to reports, to place the proposi- tion before the American League. The five minors which are not bound t Association, International League, Pa- cific Coast League, Southern Associa- tion and Western League. Grifith Doubts Plan. ‘When apprised of the foregoing. President Griffith of the Washington club said he had no knowledge of an intention on the part of any one con- nected with the American League to propose a boycott against the draft-op- posing minors and that he seriously doubted it. Griffith said it might be suggested that the non-conformists be declared outlaws by organized base ball, but that even should the American League favor such action it could not be made effective unless the National League concurred, and that formal action at a joint meeting of the majors would be necessary. PROTHRO IS REINSTATED; GRIFFS WILL SHIP HIM ! CHICAGO, November 14—J. Thomp- {son Prothro, a shortstop, has been re- instated in_ organized base ball by Base Ball Commissioner Landis. He now goes on the eligible list of the Washington Americans. Prothro was placed on the ineligible list when he became a member of the Dyersburg, Tenn.. base ball club. He applied for reinstatement a year ago, but was told that he would have to cease play- He followed instructions and was rein- stated today. It was said at local headquarters [ today that Prothro, who received a brief trial with the Nationals a couple of vears ago, would be placed with some minor league club. It is believed probable he will be assigned to Min- neapolis. SIKI BANNED IN ITALY.
