Minors to Renew War Against Draft : Boxing Body Questions Two Ring Title NEWS AND GOSSIP ABOUT BOWLERS LITTLE LEAGUES LIKELY TO ADOPT MAJORS’ PLAN International and Pacific Accept Terms of Big Coast Circuits Not Apt to Loops—Gathering at Dallas Promises to Be Merry One. BY GEORGE CHADWICK. EW YORY, October 17.—-Clam orous voices will be raised and fervid oratory will be spilled « on the subject of the base ball draft when the minor le:gues gather in annual convention at Dallas, Tex.. on December 6, 7 and 8. There will be a hot fight on the draft, of course, but there is reason to believe that most of the minors will go along with some sort of compromise draft— for without it the specters of a ‘“‘third and of a “player wa will rise to haunt the base gall mag: nates. The Texas League, as an organiza- tion, will undertake the task of en- tertaining this convention of the mi- nors, known officially as the National Association of Professional Base Ball Leagues. Minor leajue conventions always have been well attended and very in- teresting, since the affair at Buffalo some years ago, when John J. Me- Graw of the New York Giants bought O'Connell _from the San Francisco club for $65,000 and was well stung for his pains, and when Commissioner Landis lectured the minors about the draft. Did Not Heed Landis. As to the Landis lecture, the minors paid about as much attention to it as a recreant kid pays to his ma’s stern refusal to permit him to go swim- ming. They monkeyed along with their non-draft organizations for some time after that, and when Mike Sex- ton, president of the minors’ organiza- tion, did prevail upon some of them to get into line it was only because they liked Mike and because the so- calied limited draft came into exist- ence. The limited draft is much like the skirts of the flapper. Sometimes there is so little of it there is nothing to flap. Now some of the leagues have kicked over the draft again and for about the fiftieth time in his life Mike Sexton will have to advance his most causes men to regard Mike with ad- riration and envy. Still at Odds. A canvass made among minor league n finds some of them still as far from the original Idea of the 1 they always have been since the revolt against its observance. The draft question has been one of local- izod conditions. Some leagues thought they couldn’t get along without it, nd others :lm\lghl they couldn’t get h it. zues that have fought the rdest have been two class AA the International and the Pacific Coast, both of which have made a little something out of selling players. The American has never stood with its class AA col- leagues on the draft issue because the ociation is largely made, up of play- | s that it gets out of the majors for future development or for the last there is in them before they are sent to the scrap heap. The Texas League is not yearning to swallow all the draft. The South- ern Association is more in favor of it. The Southern, like the American As- sociation, is nounrished at the great major league fount. Compromise Likely. It appears that most of the minors will agree to a compromise draft. It would be much better for base ball to operate on a limited draft than to operate with no draft, for if there hap- pens to be an uprising and some one gets busy on a lew league, which always threatens, it will be best for body now in base ball to be al- Another “plover war” might develop, and there mpver has been a player war in th. national game wherein some one did not get punched so severely that the yowls could be heard far and wide. Texas i mapping out a generous program for the Dallas convention. There will be plenty of golf for Judge Landis, entertainments for the wives of members and drives to here and there, as Walter Morris will run a convincing arguments to assure the base ball men that they cannot get along without the draft or without Judge Landis. There is no man more devotedly attached to the commission- er of base ball than Mike. It is a friendship of recent growth, but it is a Damon and Pythias affair that NAVY IS GRATIFIED BY ELEVEN'S WORK ANNAPOLIS, Md., October 17.—The Naval Academy has had unusual re- action to the defeat by Notre Dame on Saturday, though no institution takes defeat harder as usual or makes & more determined effort to avoid it. It is felt that the Navy's inexperi- enced players did splendidly, and that they learned much that will be of benefit to them later in the season and in other years. Great improvement is expected from this point to the end of the season. As Ingram and his assistants feared, the strong, well-coached and experi- enced Notre Dame team was too much for the Navy, but the players of the latter bad a fine experience in meet- ing a team which is believed to be at the top in college ranks this year. Of the 11 men who started the game for the Navy, only Hannegan and Sloane had started in important games previously. Woerner, Wilson and Hardin played in parts of games last year, but Moret, Eddy, Bauer, Clifton and Spring were plebes last season. ‘Without detracting in the least from the splendid work of Notre Dame, it is felt that the Naval Academy did very well indeed to play such a good game, and the work of the inexperienced players, particularly in the backfield, is thought to augur well for the future. Naval people are particularly pleased with the work of Arthur Spring, who appears like a coming star. He should develop greatly during his three years on the varsity squad. He is from New Hampshire. Ransford did the next best work of the Navy backs, and, for some reason, Russell Lloya was used but slightly in running the ball and did no passing at all. It is belleved that Ingraham had some special reason for this, but that Lioyd still will do some fine work as a back, ‘The game against Duke next Satur- day is not held lightly, though the next big game is considered to that against the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia on October 29. Navy | people are confldent that their team will show In that game that it has benefited greatly through its brush with the “Fighting Irish.” — MARGINS DECISIVE IN SOCCER GAMES Most soccer games here yesterday were decided decisively. Germania’s 4—3 win over Army Medical Center in Capital City League for Germania’s first victory since 1925 was the high spot of the day’s play. British United defeated Rockville, 4 to 3, in another close Capital City League tilt. In other matches in this loop Arcadians trounced Rosedale, 4 to 1, and Clan MacLennan drubbed Capltol Soccer Club, 4 to 0. Concord whipped German Amer- cans, 5 to 2, and Walfords routed Marlboro, 7 to 1. WASHINGTON MARINES HAVE HARD GRID LIST Although their first two starts hav resulted in defeats, Washington Ma rines are planning a strenuous foot ball schedule for the remainder of the season. Virginia A. C. will be met next Sun- day and on November 6, a trip will be made to Philadelphia to battle the star Marine eleven there. Games scheduled: Octobe; October Tnion Le b I Z Apachee. Fort Wash: TO REORGANIZE TONIGHT An effort will be made tonight to reorganize the Waverly Athletic Club at a meeting at 8 o'clock in the Mc- Gill Bullding Frank Kcrsey, who manages the Waverly foot ball eleven, explains that the reorganization concerns the club and not the grid team.

Dixon and Miller, with sets of 349 and 333, did the best work for the winners, while Williams and Roddy bowled best for Shops. Plant Bureau paralyzed the Inter- bureau runners-up by sweeping all three games, having a set of 1,613 with the highest game of the season, 587. The match was featured by the consistent bowling of Plant Five, Cos- tello, De Glantz, Ferrall and Rose, registering sets of 329, 328, 326 and 822, Dan Ready shot 327 for the best Interbureau set. Rose, shooting anchor for Plant, counted seven on a spare in the tenth box of the third game to give his team a win by a four-pin margin. Joe McKericher's So-Kems pulled the biggest surprise of the evening by showing such an improvement in form that they took two games rather easily from the strong Ac- counts bowlers. Moeller and Mc- Kericher did the best work for the winners, while Ruppert's count of 320 for the three games was the best set by an Accounts bowler. Accounts’ second game was rather odd, in that make it one of the merriest parties the minors ever had. (Copyright, 1927.) PLAYER WITH BROKEN BACK WINS CONTEST ‘WOODBERRY N. J., October 17. —How a foot ball player with a bro- ken back won the annual game for Woodbury High School against Cam- den High School by a 7-6 score two weeks ago, has been revealed when an X-ray examination showed Johnny (Deds) Kean 18, of Mantau, star half- back of the Woodbury eleven, has a fractured vertebra. His back had been injured in a previous practice game. He thought it was only a sprain. Pain of the in- jury compelled him to retire after a minute’s play in the Camden game two weeks ago. After Camden d a loti#"touch- down, Kean begged the” Woodbury coach to let him t back into game. He went the third pe: and flashed across:the Camden line for the winning “touchdown. Wood- bury kicked the goal, giving it a one- point lead. His back continued to pain him. Physiclans told him that only the ligaments had been strained, ‘Deds” was out watching the team of Wood- bury practice when he collapsed and fell at the side lines unconscious. At the Underwood Hospital it was found that _his legs were partly paralyzed. An X-ray examination revealed that a vertebra had been cracked. Sur- geons believe an operation will enable him to walk again, but his foot ball days are over. ALEXANDRIA SCHOOL GRIDDERS AT WORK ALEXANDRIA, October 17.—Alex- andria High School gridders began practice today for their third Virginta district champlonship clash with Fred- ericksburg, in Dreadnaught Park here Friday.

These counts, inciden- tally, were not good enough to top the So-Kems' 540 game.

Avery and Hopkins were the only two Blister Rust bowlers to top the 300-mark for - |8t : De |2 three from the Loans quintet, but had to keep stepping all the way. For the second consecutive week Rosenblatt led his team in the matter of set total, getting 363 and increasing his average to 118.

Rouche had high set of 288 for the losers, although Ander- son took high game honors, with a string of 112, which materially helped Chief Clerks to avold a shut-out.

MANDELL, WALKER HELD OUT OF ORDER BY BOARD Lightweight’s Reluctance to Defend Championship and Middleweight’s Alleged Failure to Live Up to Contract Causes Comment. By the Associated Press. OLEDO, Ohfo, October 17.—The lightweight 'title of Sammy Mandell and the middleweight crown of Mickey Walker are to_receive the serious consid- eration of the National Boxing As- sociation members, now in session. The membere of the association, made up of representatives of 24 States where boxing is legalized, are understood to feel that Mandell has shown apparent reluctance in defend- ing his title since he won it from Rocky Kansas in Chicago a year ago last July. The middleweight champlonship sit- uation has been brought to the asso- ciation’s attention through protest by Walk Miller, manager of Tiger FOUR BOUTS FOR DEMPSEY DURING WINTER IS RUMOR BY SPARROW McGAND NEW YORK, October 17.—If one is to believe the current story going the rounds, Jack Dempsey will put in four hard fights before the Sum- mer rolls around. His opponents probably will include John Risko, Jack Sharkey and Paolino Uzcudun. This is good news, if true. How much Jack needs work is illustrated by the remarkable effort he made against Gene Tunney last month. After a sort of backward start in his _initial comeback fight against Jack Sharkey, Dempsey, though fairly whipped In the early rounds, came back to score a knockout. Only his remarkable good condition, brought about by arduous months of training in California, made this possible, Those who saw Dempsey tottering around on his wabbly legs in the first round of the Sharkey fight would not have given a plugged nickel for his chances of bringing victory out of the fire of seeming defeat. Yet he did. How much better was his showing in both of his fights this year than that of last year in Philadelphia, when the further he went the worse he looked. Proper conditioning is the answer. Now, if Dempsey wil! only go through with his reported plan to keep in shape by taking on four or five tough opponents, he will be the better for it, and should he emerge with flying colors, he may get the third meeting with Tunney after all All the ballyhoo in the world will not suffice to attract the gate neces- sary to pay off a heavyweight cham- pionship contest unless Dempsey proves his good faith with the box- ing public by showing his wares more often and proving to the doubt- ing Thomases that he will fight even though he is not guaranteed a fabu- lous sum. Speaking of fabulous sums, the heavyweights again are on parade. Not 8o much for the honor of being nominated to fight the champion. Perish the thought. They are looking for the high stakes now in vogue. Tex Rickard has started off with Jack Renault and Jack Delaney. Then we will have Paulino Uzcudun and Phil Scott. To make the party com- plete so that the public will not think there is any scarcity of ring masto- dons, Jack Sharkey returns to the fold with Tom Heeney as his oppo- nent. Speaking of purses, the figures fighters ask nowadays would make an old-timer turn green with envy. Not long ago a boxing fan asked the writer to distinguish between a prize fight and a boxing contest. The best reply seems to be that back in the old days. when titleholders did something be- sides dictate terms, a challenge had to be backed with a cash side bet. It took some nerve and ability to back one’s judgment in his own ability. And how the old boys did fight for the money—and to a finish. Now, with abbreviated contests, padded gloves and million-dollar purses, is it any wonder that “prize fight,” an ugly term, has been changing to “boxing exhibition.” It was not so far back that many fans of today will remember Peter Maher. He was a grand old man with a kick resembling that of an Ar- kansas mule. . Maher was fortunate enough to be in on the money when promoters were able to charge admis- sion with some semblance of legal right. Clubs were permanent affairs, not a barge as was_the case when Jim Corbett fought Joe Choynski or the sod when John L. Sullivan fought Paddy Ryan, at Mississippl City. One day Maher received an offer to fight in Philadelphia. The promoter was talking to Peter over the phone and offered him $1,100 for his end. “No,” thundered Maher, thinking the promoter had said $700. “Not a cent less than a thousand dollars will I take.” The promoter quickly took Peter's word, and the match was made. Can you imagine any of the pres- ent-day heavyweights tackling a good man for “one grand”? Ask any boy on the cornér—he knows.

KAPLAN IS PREPARED FOR M’LARNIN BOUT By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 17.—Louls Kid Kaplan of Meriden, Conn., who once retired and gave up the featherweight boxing crown, and has won 11 straight bouts since he started after the light- weight title, finished training today for his 10-round battle tomorrow night with Jimmy McLarnin, Pacific Coast sensation.
