Rickard had hoped to throw Renault and Harry into the ring as the top-line attraction for his big Christmas fund show at 11 Garden, but, as has been widely proclaimed, Renault backed out aft Paddy Mullins had signed for his dusky hopeful. “Just the same.” said Tex, “I don't blame Renault for taking th players, who could play ball for nothing and be paid for doing nothing politically.

The commissiofier did not even peep about the draft at Loulsville, - for any one with half an eye could see that the draft matter was not ts be €tirred there. The presidents of. the Pacific Coast League, the American Association and othe Internation: Teague declared before the confe ence had been under way twenty. hours that they were going abead without the draft in 1923. And they subsequently went. ] Commissioner 1s Cautious. . Tt would have been bad politics, even if spirited self-sacrifice, for the commissioner to have told the minors 8t that time that they needed the draft mnd that he was going to preseribe it, for their own good, whether they 1fked it or not.* They would hive told him to take his o0ld medicine Bimself, and not bother them with it. But it was only a few hours after Judge Landls arrived in Loulsville that rumors began to fly that the majors and minors would meet ‘in Chicago in 1923. One very important man in minor | league base ball was openly opposed | to such a mecting. He fought 7o | tho bitter end and went down with | his colors fiying. still declaring *hatq & general meeting of major and minor | leagues would lose for thé minors the individuality for which they had | Been fighting, with some success in | receat years.

Those who have fought the draft will be mollified if possible by Ppromises of more money for players. President McCarthy of the Pacific Coast League is being fought because ‘he opposes the draft. Toolesof the International might be fought if there were enough major league money in his circult to embarrass him. “Hickey of the American Asso- clation ‘will' go with his league. and it i in his circuit that efforts are being made to sway enough votes to let certain clubs get the backwash of players from the major leagues. 1n this situation there arises a con- dition which completely reverses the effect of the draft. and to which all seem Dblind. As the situation now standa the major leagues refuse to let players go to the non-draft leagues unless the latter accept them subject to draft. Some of these clubs ars willing to have the draft go inte effect %o that they can get the over- flow of players in the spring. Dmft Law In Unsound. But here enters this situation: The draft law, presumably adopted to put the player up higher, acts us an agent to put him down lower. He is drufted into the. majors only to be kicked back into the minors. If the draft law were sound, as it relates to the go-called eisvation of the player from'a minor chattel to & major chattel, the proper thing to do would be to déclare him a free agent the moment the majors found they couldn't use him. Then he could shiTt for himself. Eut that Isn't what is wanted.

YOUNG BOB FITZSIMMONS IN PUGILISTIC SPOTLIGHT BY FAI N R PLAY, EW YORK. November 10.—Young Bob Fitzsimmons, who has not been secen hereabouts since last winter, will bear watching.

Barrett, by the way, s to have got a regular Boston on in Beantown the other night. ¥rom all that comes to us Barrett had Gradwell hanging on the most of the time, knocked him down once and out of the ring once. Yet Grad- well got the decision. How come, Buckley? . Mike McTigue has got a bad hand. There is no doubt about that. So in all the fuss between Mike and his ' manager about a Tunney fight don't lose sight of the bum maulic. But | with two good hands McTigue hard- 1y lives up to the qualifications of a world champion light heavyweight. He will have to show before the win- ier {s over. _As for Tunney, he is not too ex- citing himself. He got the American <hampionship on & weird decision and since then he has done nothing to show he was entitled to it. (Copyright, 1923.)

Spalding was then a grocer's clerk, arfid every time he stayed away from his job to play ball his salary was docked. Then came a man from Chicago who offered Spalding a gosition with all the time he wanted for base ball.-This was beating about the bush; but it was the recog- nized way. Had he openly taken money as a ball player he would have been regarded as a despised professional. Aud at this stage of the game's history profession- alism was a charge like murder. | | BY H. H. FRY, is now under full swing and ] a tour of the different alleys proved that it is going to be one sport. Alley managers report that an unusual number of new devotces are taking shots at the maples and the enthusiasm shown by the new- comers has added zest to the game, Individuals, who know whereof they mpeak, such as Presidents Stocking, Henry Rodier, M. D, 3 R, C, Bowker, R. W. Chamberlain, W. E. Lawson, N. T. Hammer and E. L. Keeler, report their leagues booming, with members manifesting great interest. Captalns of teams are watching their men as though they | were on a foot ball squad, and any display of half-heartedness is met with the thréat to replace the loven- Iy one, as the waiting lists are re- | mackably large and competent. While the pin smashing has not !resulted in any old records being broken, there is a general average of igood work that probably will put the season to the fore in the number { and B classes. The Rathskellers of the District League maintain their leadership in the high game and set battle, having €21 for the former and 1,752 for the latter. These are nice figures to shoot at, but from the way the dif- ferent quints have been hitting they are liable to be broken almost any night. As to individual work, the smash- ing drives of McPhllomy of the Pet- worth team of the District League continue to shine. His single game of 174 is a formidable one, while his set of 401 will take some smashing to_head off. ‘Mac is a pecullar fellow, so far as bowling is concerned. Last season he was going like a house afire with the Kingpins when his picture was published, and it shocked his retir- ing disposition to such an extent that he faltered terribly. Mac declares that if he sees g camera pointed his way this season somebody is going to get hurt. Just how cleverly the bowlers are getting the ball in between 1 and 2 and 1 and 3 wasg shown by the Tri- umph Cafe last week, when it reg- istered sixteen strikes, a record for competition in the District, as far as can be ascertained. ) Another thing noticeable is the at- tendance of spectators nightly at the different alleys. The managers have become “wisenheimers” to the fact that the more people they interest in the sport the more bowlers will be forthcoming, and as a result comfort- able geats of vantage have been pro- vided, and they are crowded early and late.

Teams away down the line show as much pepper as the leaders, which bodes ill for those at the top before the season ends.
