MAGNATES BIG AND SMALL ON HAND IN EAST Baseball Men From All Points Gather to Work Out New National Agreement. COBB RUMOR CURRENT By JACK VEIOCK. International News Sports Editor. HEW YORK. Dec. 10—Ty Cohb trill j be the next manager of the Detroit 1 Tigers If President Frank J. Navln ha** his way. This' was the feature bit of i gossip along Gotham's baseball rialto to- . day as magnates large and small began arriving for the big session which is slated to produce a brand new form of government for the game. The Tiger magnate, it Is reported, has j offered Cobb the berth and Cobb Is ex- i pected to accept. Navln and Cobb may j confer here during the next few days. HOOSIIR BOSS ARRIVES EARLY. Garry Herrmann, chairman of the Na- ! tional League's committee of three, which will act as part of the joint committee, was the first out-of-town magnate to arrive at the Hotel Commodore, where the committee will go into session to- , morrow morning. With Herrmann came : Jack Hendricks, manager of the Indian- | apolis Club, carrying a check book and ; looking for a shortstop. The former chairman of the National . Commission brought with hln a drift of anew national agreement on which he has been working, but did not expose it j to view, explaining that It was only ten tatlve and that-tbe new agreement was , something tba;. would, naturally enough. I have to be wofkrd out by the joint com- j mlttee in session. Herrmann said thru he ig in favor of ! opening the new agreement to ail leagues, • meaning independent leagues a* well ns those in organized ranks, except those wh ; eh haw? encouraged contract jumping Herrmann explained that the minor league committeemen will bare to rake . the new agreement back to their various j leagues for ratification, but that in ill j probability the two majors would ratify j it at meeting? here next week. Run Johnson and other Americana Leaguers were expected among the incoming floes of owners and managers today. MEMBERS OF JOINT COMMITTEE. The'men who make up the Joint com- 1 mittee which is to meet with Judge K. XI. Landis are: Garry Herrmann, Charies H. Ebbets and Barney Dreyfus* of the j National League; Frank J. Navir.. James j Dunn and Ben Shibe of the American League; President Mike Sexton of the National Association of Professional Baseball Clubs and five members of th® ! minor league committee. The minors have a coniTr.'ttee of six of equal strength in the Joint committee with he majors. The feu who will act , with Sexton are; Thomas J. Hickey, president of tha 1 Americana Association, representing Class AA. v John D. Martin, president of the Southern Association, representing Class i A. George H. Maines, president of the , Michigan-Ontario League, representing i class B. WH’lam Walsh, president of the South Atlantic League, representing class C J .Walter Morris, president of the West Texas League, who represents class D les gues. These men, with the six majors, will make baseball government over and create a bit of baseball history in the process. Judge Landis will give them all the aid he can and legal suggestions will also be ottered by George Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia, who conducted organized baseball's fight against the Baltimore Federal*, and John Conway Toole, attorney for the National League. MAJORS WOULD RESTORE DR AI T. Restoration of the draft, an economi- ! cal means of getting young blood into the major league veins, will be advocated here tomorrow when the delegations of the majors and minors get together. A little matter of 100 per cent increase in the price of "ivory on the foot" is thought to be the price bait that the majors wlli dangle before the little fellows. The draft price of the old defunct national agreement was $2,560. The majors, it Is heard, are now ready to Increase the rate per head to $5,000." The American Association and the International League may balk at the proposition to get back to the draft piau. They are about half the works of the minors and their attitude is causing the magnates of the big time circuit most concern. Raising ball players ha's become n profitable pastime sines the draft ceased to allow the majors a fall harvest at bargain rates rod it may take a lot of convincing talk about necessities in the baseball crisis to- get the minors back into an agreement restoring the draft. The taiienders of the International League, which, by the way. is divided on the annual issue of Dave Fultz, want the draft restored to chop off the list of the leaders a lot of fine talent. THEY WANT BENDER. READINO, Pa.. Dec. 10.—Now that John Hummell has resigned aa the playing manager of the Reading Internationals, among the names mentioned as pilot for the Marines are three farmer major leaguers—Charles A. (Chief) Bender, Dick Hoblitzel and Steve Yerkes Bender, who led the pennant winning New Haven team of the Eastern League last reason, seems most popular with the fans. RAPP TO PLAY SECOND. HEW YORK. Dec. 10. -Goldie Rapp, the prize pick of the Giants from the American Association, will be started at Second b.se next season, with Frank Frisch, the “Fordbarn tiasV’ remaining at third base. Manager McGrow said on bis return from Havant for the winter baseball meetings. Roger Gets Players TOLEDO. Dee. 10.—Roger Bresnahan, president of the Toledo baseball club of the American Association, announced Thursday that the services of five new players rave been obtained from Detroit ana the Giants. Those coining from Detroit are Itsloh Grimm, Art Fried nud Kirt Hentwoli). Those from the Giants are Tommy Grubbs an’ llarrv Bnrfeind. The players are infielders and pitcher Bresnahan said. Bresnahan also announced that his last year's outfield will be in Toledo uniform* again next season, meaning Allan Hill, Joe Kelly, Joe YVilhoit and A. Wickland. Earlham Faces Task RICHMOND, Ind., Dec, 10.—Things will not be at ail too easy for F.arlham In the bssket-bftll battle wit# Antioch, Ohio, here tonight. The Buckeye combination has been winning over early-sea-■on opponents by comfortable margins *ud it is doubtful whether Coach Rnv Stowe’s nten will be in shape, to offer them real opposition. Antloob had no football team this last season therefore got an early hasket-ball training start and right now is la mid•oason form. On the other hand. Earlbara has had hardly a week of real court practice and wlil have to depend mostly on individual playing In this evening's contest. Two Games Here Oct. 29 The 1921 football clash between Notre Dame and Indiana, originally set for Hot. 5 at Washington Park, hera, has been changed to Oct. 29. On Nov. 5 the > rmy and Notre Psmt meet at the Polo grounds. New York, It was at Coach Rockne's request that Indiana shifted the date. The Butler-Wabash game la also carded for that date.

Last night’s attack didn't even send s a iff breeze up around the ears of the leaders. Kemper and Veiker posted a total of 1,125 to get fifth place In the doubles, while the best singles score couldn't even touch tenth place. Bail, tha high singles shooter, had 1 doub’e centuries in his first and second games, but went down in a heap in the fhird and couldn't buy a thing with his 579 total. Peachev cracked the wood a couple of hard wallops after getting away to a bush league start. Kempner's 211 would have knocked somebody's dream of big dough into a corked hat If he had made any kind of a first-game showing. It was Kempnor who performed most of the Kempner-Veiker work. He got a brace of two centuries and another count better than any Veiker had. The best one game score was a 213 by Snyder in his third doubles game. As has been said before, not much of a wood harvest can be promised for this evening, but there'll be many a good laugh when some of the prize comedians take the drives. The surprise is likely to corns when Louie Dungan and Ed Quinn do thsir trick. Louie and Ed haven't stacked all the wood In the world this year, but they generally drive hard in the tourney play. Mike, Ketiy sailed for Ireland Wedt"odr.y. which makes it look bad for tbs •■Casey" fan delegation. Mike generally made up for all the missing rooters. LOCAL LEADI E GOSftir.
