What the Draft Means. The drafj in b; 1l means that the big fish m feed upon the litue fish b, n sums for the privilege. It means that the minor league club cannot retain play- ers wanted by other clubs which are in a classification higher up. If a club subject to draft and has a_ball er who hits like tunket and flelds if he were nine ball players 3 he in himself, it is ter that the club never will have the ver more than one son. Some gger club will take him in the draft. When base ball signed up with the present commissioner and also sign- =d to behave itself as regards indi- vidual leagues and clubs it was ex- 1y stipulated that those leagues out of the draft were out for seven vears, which is the length of the term of the agreement. Garry Herrmann and ¢ bets made speeches at the dinner of the minors in Louisville, in which they said the National League never would be a party to the violation of any written agreement which it had signed. Minors Felt tified. No particular agreement was men- tioned. but everybody knew that they referred to the seven-vear peace treaty and the minors who sat around the tables looked up from their cof- fee cups and said: “Now ain’t they | nice fellows.” H At the joint meeting of the major leagues, which was held ten days later in New York city, both of the big fish in organized base ball passed a resolution, which met with the in- dorsement of the commissioner of base ball, that they would not send any ball plavers by option, gentle- men's agreement or by sale to any minor league club uniess that club would agree that be subject to draft. It took some time to get the situa- tion fairly in front of the smaller leagues, and not all of them are quite sure about it now. A very prominent minor league man was asked today to say what the minors would do. He would not ven- ture, In his capacity as an official, to intimate what they might do, but! he said there would be no war. | Pact Already Violated? He wanted to know whether the national agreement had not been vio- lated by the majors for this reason: ‘““They permitted certain leagues to say that they would operate without the draft. They signed an agreement to that effect. Other leagues have the right to withdraw from the draft upon notice, as I understand it. Now these clubs or leagues or both, for | they are one in action, tell the minor Jeagues which were allowed to be non-drafters that they must accept the draft if they wish to get certain ball play 3 “Can u say to an organization that it is exempt from the draft and in the same breath say that it cannot have ball players unless they can be drafted? I think that the minors again feel that they have been made subservient to the majors and have lost a certain amount of independ- ence.” (Copyright, 1922.)

LIEB, UPPOSE any one told you that Wilbert Robinson, the roley-poley manager of the Dodgers, once stole forty-two bases a season, would you believe it? But let’s get this right. Robby, in*his younger days, dashed around the bases faster than any other catcher in the game. In 1886, in his first season as a big leaguer, Robby stole forty-two bases for the old Athletics in eighty-seven games, and he did- it on a batting average of .205. How's that for base running. .

A player may expect to run forward, but a poor pass or the sucgessful jump of an opponent may give the ball to the other side, and an im- mediate change of direction be de- manded. b It is generally wise, particularly on the “tap-off,” for a forward to maneuver to outwit his guard, but he must never be.caught flat-footed should the opposing center get the tap. While not literally upon his toes, he figuratively should be. From this balanced position he is ready upon call to start quickly for any place on the floor. Arigona-Utah G@ridders Primed.. .
