SPORTS. NO MORE SUCH SESSIONS ARE LIKELY TO BE HELD Minors Complain of Treatment Received at Hands of Majors in Chicago Conclave—Big Circuit Against High Prices for Players. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. HICAGO, December 15—“No more joint smajor and minor league base ball meetings for us” is the most popular tune among leaders of the smaller organizations today, as the last of the magnates, players, scouts and hangers-on got away for their respective winter haunts. . The minors say they are too big and fundamental a part of the great national pastime to have their lights submerged under the bushel of the majors—and there is much in what they say. Bringing all of the leagues together is hurtful to majors and minors. The majors grab all of the calcium, besides sometimes exerting too much of an influence on_minor actions.

DERRERRRR 3] c Hans Wagner's name ap« pears on every all-Americ: all-star base ball team for al time, and what the old-time star doesn't know about base ball doesn't amount to much. In this, the story of his career told by himself, he tells you what he knows—the skill of men and teams and plays, the development of the American national game, all the ins and outs that the base ball fan of today wants to know about. He gives pointers to the youngsters and the college player and he tells the old hand where he can look for new delights by watching for fine points that most of us overlook. Hans Wagner’s story is more than this, how- ever; to it he has brought his sound philosophy and knowl- edge of men, so that the d mond, as he talks of it, be- comes as broad as the whole world. And with a simplicity that makes absorbing reading, he has accomplished what many skilled writers fai achieve; he has v full-length portrait of a man —himself.

WAGNER IS IN THE the Iron and Oil League. I didn’t realize it then, but that was to be my last engagement with a minor league. Up to that time I had not thought of getting into real fast company. I was just beginning to realize how much there was to learn in base ball. I have been credited with be- ing a good base runner. At that time I really was as good a man on the bases as we had on the team. It wasn't so much on ac- cpunt of speed as of watching opponents and taking advantage of mistakes, A player can do this just as well on the bench as on the bases. Though my mind was young, 1 realize now that I had the faculty of not getting lost in cothusiasm and of sizing up both sides of a situation while the other fellows were all excited. Those minor league youngsters were not as cautious as big leaguers are in their movements. It was easy to tell what they in- tended to do by the way they handled themselves, moved their arms, feet or legs. Most any pitcher, until he learns by experience, will make some little motion or take some kind of a stand that will show when he is going to throw to first base or the plate, for stance By watching them close I could get onto this. When I felt sure the throw would be made to the plate T could take a big lead off first and steal. Base stealing yvou know, is entirely a n the lead. It doest ke any difference how fast a man is he can’t steal second unless he gets a big lead. When I would spot a pitcher's weakness in that respect I would tip the other fellows off. Soon we would be running wild on him and he never knew why. There are pitchers in the big leagues today who get caught that way. L saw one last suc- mer and wondered why the base runners did not take advantage of it. That is one reason why I have the belief that ball players do not study their business now- adays as we did twenty years Tomorrow: Pa}ersnn, With Some Future Stars.

Vicentini’s defeat was laid by maintain his knock-out record and insufficient skill with which to follow up many of his advantages.
