P.)— Owners of rhe Jerssy City, Syracuse and Read'ng Jdseball ciubs of the Interna- League, whose =ated in Montreal, Quebec announced their annual league meeting to anfl Proviii T in Montreal and Providence, hoth in the b:fore the war, have been seek- ing to re-aner for more an a year. The 1 to part with their franchises. . However, {ke owners of the clubs sald they believed the game would go better for\them next season and refused, even to ‘consider, retirement. - Following these announcements the Previdence and Mot~ treal promoters sail they had not given up hope. They would bide their time, they added, and should any. of -the in- ternational clubg decide to quit after the opening of ihe season, they would be ready to jump in. The league voted unanimously, Presi- dent J. Conway Toole said, to refrain from further discussion of the existing draft rule. There was nothing to do, he said, but to abide by the rule during its seven years of life( the length of Commissioner Landis' term). Even if the international %hould 'vote for a change, he declared, it would have no effect as a vote of all the minor leagues was necessary for any change. Mr. Toole said he thougnt that some definlte arrangement with the majors on the optlonal player question was of greatest importance to the minors &t this time. The mojors now are per- mitted to tave eight players out on op- tlonal agreementg and Class AA clubs, six. He asserted that the International had no objection to the majors raising the llmit vegarding optional players If they so desired but he thought an ef- fort should be made by them to live up to the limits designated. “The condition now,” he asserted, “Is not good for us. When we go down south or out west looking for young talent we are told that this player belongs to a certain major league team and that play- er to another. I am not saying this in a spirit of criticlsm for it has been prac- ticed all along by the majors and I might say that the number of players on which some clubs have opeional strings is az high as 60 or 75. This operates against the cfferts of the minors to pur- chase budding players.” The International In all probability will play an>ther 168 game schedule next season. The opening date has not been determined. The league will meet again tomorrow morning to wind up its rou- tine business and settle several ques- tions raised bhefore adjournment today.

INDICTED TERRA COTTA MEN CHANGES PLEAS TO GUILTY New York, Dec. 12.—Seven corpora- tions and one individual, engaged in manufacturing terra cotta and indicted by the government on charges of violat- ing the Sherman Anti-Trust Laws, to- day changed their tentative pleas of not guilty to guilty When they appeared be- fore Federal Judge Learned Hand. The change of pleas was entered by counsel for the accused. The concerns indicted were members of eastern, cen- tral and western assoclations of terra cotta manufacturers and the govern- ment alleged their law violations ex- tended “throughout the United States,” in connection with the manufacture and sale of their product. Counse] also changed to guilty the pleag of eleven officers of various in- dicted corporations. The tentative pleas of not guilty en- tered by the president of the New York Architectural Terra Cotta Company, Richard F. Dalton, and the vice pres!s dent and treasurer, Walter Geer; Jr., were' left unchanged. The indicted men and concerns first were attacked by the Lockwood - legis- lative committes of the “terra cotta com- bine” during its investigation of alleged trusts in the building Incistries, with pleas of gullty entered in the first or “conspiracy” count in tHe indictment, it was agreed not to press the othres, and Judge Hand ordered them dismissed. All of the indicted men were present, and one by one their counsel asked if they wished to change their tentative pleas of not guilty. All answered in the affirmative, save Mr. Dalton and Mr. Geer.
