EW YORK, October 14.— Business relations between the major leagues and the class A. A. minors—the In- ternational, American Associa- tion and Pacific Coast leagues— have reached the breaking point, with the result that a base ball war seems inevitable. | The class AA men went into a con- ference last week in Cleveland im- mediately after the world series. All 16 or league clubs, except the St. Louis Cardinals and Washington, were on the ground prepared to arrive at a peaceful agreement. The St. Louis club sent its proxy to President Heydler, while Clark Griffith of the National who was 1ll, empowered President Barnard to vote for him. The class AA leagues, it will be re- called, were notified some time ago that unless they accepted the universal draft system without qualifications before December 1 the majors would refuse to send players to them on option or for a purchase price after that date. Big leaguers who returned here from Cleveland said that the class AA leagues had' taken an impossible stand and had caused much bitter feeling. Fail to Effect Compromise. The present drafting price ¢hat pre- walls between the majors and three big minors is $5,000. After a long pow- ‘won behind locked doors on Priday, the class AA men sent word to the major league clubs assembled outside that uazy would accept the universal draft system on condition that the draft price should be increased to $20,000 and that no player should be “selected” umtil he had spent four years in minor league company. In reply the major leagues announced that they were ready to raise the draft price to $17,50), with no restrictions except that only one player would be drafted from a class AA club. The big leaguers then were invited into the star chamber, expecting to hear that their * ition had been received with avor, but, instead, a resolution was read to them to the effect that. their terms were unacceptable, whereupon the representatives of the National and American League clubs walked out in £ body without attempting to further argue the m-mr SINGER IS FAVORITE IN BOUT WITH MACK Clash in Ten-Round Non-Title Go in Chicago Tonight—Card Is Well Balanced. a‘fi’ worid. “fil nu ntlflrmflnttlm display e West. nuhv. in themum. in a lnmnnd non-title engagement with Eddie Mack of Denver.

STARS DUEL TODAY IN'WOMEN'S GOLF Mrs. Wall, Miss Hill, Pick of Midwest, Clash in First Round. By the Associated Press. OS ANGELES, October 14.—A duel of championship caliber was in prospect here today as two of the Middle West's most promising entries in the national women's golf championship, Mrs. Opal S. Hill and Miss Bernice Wall, both.semi-finalists & year ago, opposed each other in the feature clash of first round match play.

Claim was made in an earlier arti- cle on this subject of gripping that many of our golf faults could be cured by the right application of the hands upon the club. This is lee the Jones’ application, pres- sure at the two farthest points of the grip. What does this lead to? Pirst, it prevents the club sagging at the top of the swing into the crotch formed by the thumb -and forefinger of the right hand, a com- mon fault that leads to all sorts of poor golf. By gripping with the forefinger and thumb of this hand, as Jones, your club remains un- der control. And that protruding right elbow that causes such slicing havoc. How can the grip prevent it? Grip with thumb and forefinger of your right hand and the tendency of the ham of that hand is to press down upon the left thumb. When that occurs you -can't get the right elbow out at the top and in the wrong posi- tion shown in the sketch. A new illustrated leaflet on “Long Iron Shots” has been prepared by Sol Metzger.

William Harvey, jr., amateur and George Diffenbaugh, professional, both of the Indian Spring Golf Club, tied with two other pairs for first place in the amateur-professional best-ball tour- ney yesterday at Suburban Country Club of Baltimore. Harvey and Diffen- baugh scored a best ball of 65, to tie with Nathan Kaufman and Ralph Beach of the Host Club, and R. R. Taylor and Willle Schreiber of Catoctin for first place. Beach missed a chance to win the event outright, when his ball hit the back of the cup on the eighteenth hole and jumped out. Charles M. Mackall, amateur, and Bob Barnett, Chevy Chase pro, tied for fourth place with Tom Sasscer, amateur and_CIiff Spencer, professional, both of the Maryland Country Club, at 66. ‘The Hunter combination—father and son—of Indian Spring, scored 68. Greenkeepers of the Midatlantic sec- tion also held a tourncy over the sub- urban course in which Bob Scott, greenkeeper at_the Baltimore Country Club, scored a 76 to win the prize. The net prize went to H. Haviland of the Baltimore Country Ciub, who had 85—14—71. O. P. Fitts of Columbia scored 96—14—82. The next tourney of the Middle Atlantic professionals will be at the Elkridge Hunt Club next Monday, in which the professionals will play with women partners, Bob McLean, president of the Mary- land State Golf Association, says that nothing will stop golfers from playing golf, even though their club house may be burning down. Over at the Baltimore Country Club, whose Roland Park club house was badly burned in a fire a few days ago, the golfers of the club continued driving off the first tee, even though the fire behind them was destroying .their club house, McLean says. Bill Scott, the club professional, rescued all the golf clubs from the shop and had them out on the lawn before the fire reached the shop. “Through it all,” McLean says, “the players were driving off the flrs! tee, just as though there was no fire.” o The flames, smoke and water ruined rost of the upper portion of the build- | ing, which will need a new roof and need considerable repairing to the up- per part of the structure. The old club house has been in existence more than 35 years, and is one of the landmarks of the Roland Park section of Balti- more. BEST SADDLE RATING TO REX LEE BOURBON Held Outstanding Five-Gaited Stal- lion in National Horse Show at St. Louis. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, October 14.—Rex Lee Bourbon today was acclaimed the out- standing five-gaited saddle stallion entered in the St. Louis National Horse Show. Rex Lee Bourbon, owned by W. T. Treadway of St. Louls, last night car- rled off the championship in his class and the $2,500 that goes with it. King Genius of the Dixiana Farms, Lexing- ten, Ky., pressed the winner closely, but’ was forced to be content with sec- ond place. Third went to Sheridan Acres of Alexander Acres, Bloomington, Ill., and Man in the Moon, the property of Lawson & Lawson, Danville, Ky., took fourth. Six other horses were entered in the event. The first four horses won eligibility for the $2,500 grand championship for five-gaited stallions, mares or geldings, which will feature Saturday night's show.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, October 14 —When Bob Jones finally retires from the national amateur championship and throws that field open for the wild scram- ble that is certain to follow, you likely will find a champion, or perhaps, champions, coming from the ‘Pacific Coast. They are sprouting a fine crop of young par-makers on the long coast that extends &rom the Canadian border to the Mexican line, Numerous fine courses, that test a player's game in every detail, and an all-year playing climate are bound to produce results in the form of champions. Charlie Seaver left a most favorable impression on the galleries at Merion Cricket Club and many believe the square-shouldered blond would have given Jones a better battle in the finals than Gene Homans. Seaver, unlike most youngsters who occasionally rip and tear their way through a championship, seemed to know what he was doing at every turn. He played the in-between shots far better than his age and ex- perience called for. In fact there was nothing much in the play of this 19- year-old to criticize. . Seaver Clever Player. Beaver has an imperturable disposi- tion and goes about his work method- ically and without any flourish. He tees up the ball; addresses it and swings. A splendid Jescon to some of the other youngsters who put more fuss and feathers to their games. Seaver had Gene Homans well whipped when he crumpled under the Jersey star’s hurri- | cane of pars. ‘However, the writer does not believe it was Homaps' golf that | beat Seaver quite so much as the real- ization that came to him as he started the final nine. The realization that on Saturday morning that he must meet the ruth- less Robert, the most implacable ma- chine that ever moved over the fair- ways. And that fealization has crushed more experienced players than young Seaver. The Californian did well enough and traveled sufficlently far for a first qualifier. He has plenty of time and will come back to play as fine golf some other day when ruthless Robert will, perhl?s be in the gallery. He is no the pan. Lawson Little of San Prancisco is a second Californian who will ultimately rap at the championship door. Little was discovered last year at Pebble Beach, where he traveled to the third round. He improved his game over the year in that he speeded up his play. At Pebble Beach he+was so dilatory and procrastinating that the gallery soon held him in disfavor. Now he steps along with the average, and his game is solid and sound. Any kid who beats the doughty Dr. Q. F. Willing has considerable golf at his command. Oregon Also Has Hogan, Oregon not only has Don Moe as & future championship threat, but, also Eddie Hogan, a little public links star. Hogan failed to qualify at Merion, but his swing and style left a fine impres- sion on those who watched him. is only 18 and has ample time for de- velopment. Moe, after a lot of golf dur- ing the Summer, went a little stale and failed to quali which is no criticism against his game. He is a great golfer and will be a headliner for many years. Charles Kocsis, the Redford Michi- gan schoolboy was the only outstanding Juvenile produced by the Middle West or East. He is smaller than Seaver. or Little, but hits a nice long ball and handles his irons neatly, However, he did not seem to have the club control possessed by Seaver, but that will come to him. Kocsis is several years removed from stardom, but he is a fine pros- pect. Defeating such a stubborn match player as Francis Ouimet was a task that tobk much out of Kocsis and, as often happens, he fell an easy victim to Bill McPhail in the second round, although McPhall does not rank with Ouimet. ‘The Pacific Slope qualified seven for the national amateur—or almost one- fourth of the field—and that demon- strates the tremendous strides in the development of crack ifers being made in California and Oregon. And look out for more in the future.

Yessir, once a week they lay aside their headsets and trek to the bowling alleys, and, as Bill Wood of Lucky Strike puts it, “the men haven't got much chance to bowl on that night.” ‘The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele- phone Girls’ League, in its first year, is the largest women's bowling league ever in this city—28 teams in all. And not only that, but the girls are 80 enthusiastic over duckpins now that after the league matches are over they keep on bowling. 'UST as an example of how seriously the fair sex is taking to bowling, Bill Wood got out his little book and ran over the figures. * Every week seven women's leagues roll at Lucky Strike alone. The two largest are the C. & P. Telephone and Star, the former with 28 teams and the latter with 24. Western Union has 4, Transportation has 6. Public Debt has 10, General Counsel has 10 and the B. Y. P. U. has 12. A total of 94 teams in all, an llowing six play- ers to a team, there "are about 554 girls taking to the drives at one alley every week in league matches. And there’s no counting those not afliated with leagues. last of the tenpin leagues, the American Ice Co. Loop, still is flourishing. It's becoming a novel sight nowadays to see the boys shoot the big ball down the drives and chalk up scores consist- ently around the 180 mark. There's only one thing that keeps the American Ice boys from shooting duck- ping, and that's the annual tenpin tournament between Washington, Bal- timore, New York, Boston and Phila- delph! fa. Says Scorer DcMarco: “A ot of the boys want to change to duckpins be- cause everybody's doing it here, and, besides, it's hard to get alleys. In those other cities they roll more tenpins than they do here and have an advantage. glyh they'll make the change before I F the reader happens to be a bowling Nevertheless, a hot race is in progress in the league, with three quints tied for first place.
