Syracuse Resolution Killed, The Syracuse club did introduce a resolution designed to allow a form { of local option to each club—that is, | permitting each club to decide wheth- | er or not it would accept players from the majors who were subject to draft. But the resolution died a speedy death, and if President Toole's figures are correct, not even Syracuse voted for its own resolution.§ The upshot was that the league took a united stand against the majors, and now there is not a single loophole left by | which the clubs can accept a draft- | able player from the two big leagues. | The anti-draft resolution stated that | “th | fuses to accept any contracts with | such provisions i(namely, the draft | provision), and will refuse to allow ;any player sent under such contract |to play in any of its games” and | “that such action on the part of the | American and National Leagues is in | violation of the major-minor league agreement (of 1921), and wvoid so far as this league 1s concerned.” + Jack Dunn, Baitimore owner and | manager, was released from his promise to sell at least three of his star Orioles before the beginning of the season. This condition had been insisted upon by other magnates be- cause Baitimore had won four j straight pennants and was too strong for the league. Dunn sold Jack Bent- ley to the Giants, but he found it im- possible to dispose of Joe Boley, shortstop; Max Bishop, second base- man, and McAvoy, catcher, although he negotiated with several major league clubs. Dunn Released From Promise. This case, of course, has been af- fected by the draft situation. Every time that Dunn tried to dicker with big league managers, he was told that any players sent to him would be sub- ject to draft. Dunn, quite naturally, refused to accept such conditions, and therefore his trades were blocked. Recognizing the existence of such ob- stacles, the International League, on motion by George Stallings of the Rochester club, freed him from his promise yesterday and now Dunn will have practically the same team as last season. The main business at the meeting was the adoption of a 1923 schedule, which was done with little fuss, As usual, 168 games wil lbe played, stigt- ing on April 18 and ending on Sept. 23. The opening card will have Tor- onto at Jersey City, Rochester at Newark, Buffalo at Reading and Syra- cuse at Baltimore. Jack Dunn, questioned about Jack the $65,000 paid for him by Giants, refused to say a word. “That matter is closed so far as I am con- cerned,” said Dunn. “Let the Giants fight it out with him if they want to.” ROBERTS NOW A COLONElg, Gov.
