BASEBALL MEN AGREE ON ALL MAJOR POINTS Big Leagues and Minors Accept Landis as Head—Reach Agreement on Draft. END CONFERENCE TODAY BY LrTHKB HUSTON, International News Stol Correspondent. CHICAGO. Jan. 12.—The final “love feast” that will mark the advent of peace and harmony In organized baseball throughout the length and breadth of this land was to be held here today. Major and minor league magnates, with the strife and turmoil of the past months forgotten, were to assemble this afternoon and cement amicable relations. All that remains to make peace In baseball an established fact Is to “sign the papers.” Pen and ink is waiting, the papers are all drawn up and the magnates have their writing arms “in the pink." The signing of the “papers” is expected to be little more than a pleasant formality. '.YEW AGREEMENT IS APPROVED. The major-minor agreement, under which Judge K. M. Lnndis becomes the oonarch of baseball’s entire domain, has been perfected and approved by all concerned. Such leagues as wish to may subscribe to the draft and those who wish otherwise may decline. In the event a league does Dot allow the draft it cannot draft from a league of lower classification. The Class AA leagues—the American Association, International and Coast Leagues— probably will not work under the draft rule. The amended national agreement provides that the minors shall have complete control of their internal affairs. Claims involving more than S3OO or the free agency of a player go direct to Judge Landis. The advisory committee will consist of four men, two from the minors. The National Association, the minor league ruling body, will draw up itß own form of contract and it will contain a

clause binding the players to abide by the decisions of Judge Landis. Under the terms of the agreement the major league draft period shall be from Oct. 15 to 20. Once a player Is drafted there can be no cancellation. The pact will be In force only during ; the incumbency of Judge Landis.

Suggested draft prices are: Class AA $5,000; Class A, f1,000; B, $2,500; C, $1,600 and D, SI,OOO. Draft prices may be changed by consent of the majors and the minors, but classification requirements are decided by the minors alone. Players In organized ball who have been associating with major league ball players under indictment for dishonesty are to be punished. Quite a flock of minor leaguers, among them several who are to report to major league clnbs in the spring, are said to have been playing on Independent teams with Fred McMullin of the White Sox and other accused players. The players probably will be warned and If they persist will be fined or suspended. NEW ROCHESTER DIRECTORS.

State Champions to Perform in Aquatic Meet Here Saturday Swimming fan* will get a chance to see aome of the State champions in action at the dual meet between the Indianapolis •*Y” and the Kokomo “T” next Saturday night at the local pool. Norman Darby, present State champion in the 440-yard free style swim and holder of the State record for this distance, will try to break hie own record of 6:48 3-5. Fowler, State champion plunger, will not hare an opportunity to hang up any records, as the pool is only 60 feet long, but will try to negotiate the length of tne pool in record time.

In order that any records made will be official, a sanction has been obtained from the Indiana A. A. U. and entry blanks sent ont over the State. There may be- some out-of-town entries which will upset- the calculations of the local artists by grabbing off flr r t place in some of the events bnt It is certain that any one who beats the local boys will have to break a State record to do it. and that Is all the management of the meet wants. The three events referred to will be run off as special, open events, in conjunction with the dual meet. TbeT will" not c.mnt for point*.

SPORT EDITORIAL By EDDIE ASH. Sport lovers over the State are beginning to exhibit keen Interest In the efforts of the American Legion, Department of Indiana, to put a boxing bill through the State Legislature and it is said that early indications point Jo the measure winning the support of many of the Assemblymen. According to the provisions of the bill, special care hag been taken to protect the public and State and to see that the State shares in the receipts of the contests. It is one of the most satisfactory boxing measures ever drawn and Assemblymen are urged to read it thoroughly and digest its contents. There is no question but that the residents of the Hoosier State are overwhelmingly In favor of boxing and If the question were left to a referendum the sport surely would score a decisive victory. States that have permitted exhibitions of the glovo sport under the commission form have statistics to show the benefits and Indiana can well try the experiment. Boxing is a week-day amusement enjoyed by 90 per cent of all men where it Is permitted to be staged. There is no good reason why It should create opposition from the "blue law" advocates because exhibitions never are staged on the Sabbath; it is not a modesty shocker by any means; It affords exercise for the participants, amusement and recreation for the spectators, and Is an instrument to lessen the unrest among city residents. Assemblymen hailing from the rural districts especially are urged to give the State boxing measure serious thought because it Is evident the strongest opposition to the bill will come from those districts. Many rural residents fail to distinguish the difference between city and country life and do not understand that the city man needs amusement to keep him going properly. Asa rule he Is of a nervous temperament because of the hustle and bustle of city life and, as boxing supplies r peculiar tonic for-this aggravation, it would be well to permit him to view legalized glove exhibitions. States that now permit legalized boxing are too numerous to record In full, but among the number are New Y'ork, Massachusetts, New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin. Boxing under n commission form of government like the Indiana Legion proposes has been tested thoroughly and the few flaws found pale into insignificance when compared with the benefits of the regulated sport. Indiana wants boxing; the legion measure assures a regulated sport; it’s up to the legislators to give it a chance.

WIGGINS LOSES TO VET GIBBONS CINCINNATI. Jan. 12.—Chuck Wiggins of Indianapolis was unable to cope with the line of boxing put out by Tommy Gibbous of St. Paul in a tenround bout here last night and tho Hoosier light heavyweight was decisively outpointed by hla older and more experienced opponent. By his neat performance Gibbons strengthened bis claim to American title honors In the light heavyweight division and convinced many ringsiders that he just about has the necessary stuff to defeat Georges Carpentler .Xor the world’s championship in his class. Wiggins did not have much of a show against Tommy last night and was on the short end of the points practically all the way. He gave his best work in the first half of the milling, but in the late rounds it could be seen that Gibbons had the number of the Hoosier. Wiggins gave the fans satisfactory entertainment, however, and gamely tried to break down Gibbons' attack. Tommv won by continually keeping after Chuch, not allowing him to get set, and this seemed to worry the Hoosier. Chuck went to the canvas as the fifth round closed and took a count of four. It was simply a case of Gibbons having the better class. LEONARD AND MITCHELL READY | NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Benny Leonard I end Ritchie Mitchell, who are to meet here i Friday for the world’s lightweight cham- ! pionship, weri both close to weight toi day.

WABASH SPEED BEATS PURDUE Scarlet Athletes Set Pace From Start and Nearly Double Score. LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Jan. 32.—Setting a dizzy pace to hold a lead gained In the first seconds of play when Goldsberry turned White's foul Into a point, the Wabash basket men ran up a 42-to-22 total agajust Purdue’s Boilermakers here last night. The play of the Scarlet machine was sensational. Coach Pete Vaghan had rounded the Wabash talent into a welloiled, smooth-running machine that played both the defensive and offensive ends of the game almost to perfection, and thev had the Boilermakers guessing from the very start. The fact that Wabash does not depend enttrely upon the famous Goldsberry for the winning points was proven by the fact that every man on the team, with the exception of Burns, floor guard, registered his share of the grand total. A neat passing game enabled tbe Scarlet clan to carry the ball through the Purdue defense, and Goldsberry, Adams, Schanlaub and Staanud had keen eyeß for the hoop. Goldsberry was the lug Wabash scorer, getting five field goals and six foul points. The brilliant Wabash center was forced to leave the game at a late stage with an injured ankle, and Stasand, who took his place, counted three times from the center of the floor. Wabash rushed the Boilermakers off their feet with a dasu of unexpected speed in the first half and were riding easy with a 17-to-7 lead when tne rest period was reached. Purdue was off color in basket throwing and Its hurried shots failed to stick In the hoop. Purdue braced In the second half and added five points before the visitors got started, but the Scarlet soon made up for lost time by ringing In for five field goals, while Purdue was held at bay. Hard fighting on Purdue's part seemed to better the Wabash play In this period and the proteges of IYete Vaughan had come within two points of doubling the score when the gun was fired. White, Purdue’s big point getter, was well guarded last night and had to shoot fast to make his three field goals. He made six out of twelve chances from the foul line, whlcn is not as good as usual Officials Young and Maloney handled the game In fine shape. The contest was one of the cleanest ever played on the local court. •

EM-ROES BEAT DE PAUW FIVE By taking anew lease on life In the second half and coining hack to play the brand of basket-ball fans have been expecting of them all season, the Indianapolis Em-Roes tore through the De Pauw five for a 41 to 23 victory, on the Y. M. C. A. floor last night. It was noticeable at tbe start of the game that the Tigers were off form, but the Em-Roes were sailing the lame boat in the first half and the fans were kept on their toes by the close score. During this period the Ktn-Roes had the ball in De Pauw territory more than half the time, but they could not connect from under the basket, and I)o Pauw held a 10 to 9 lead when the whistle blew. Hennessey kept the Green and Whtte in the running during this period with three long shots. Three rapid fire goals by Capt. Oscar Behrent. Hennessey and Campbell threw the Em-Itoe in the lead early In the second session and from then on they drew away from the college quintette, with Hennessey and Campbell doing most of the scoring and Captain Behrent playing a brilliant guarding game. The Era Roes toed the mark in the passing department during the second session and gave Campbell several of his favorite under-tbe-basket shots. The locals were playing up to the old Em-Roe standard in this period aud had the Tigers been in form the fans would have witnessed one of the greatest battles of the season. Camion and Mendenhall scored the most points for De Pauw, the former getting one field goal and nine fouls, while the latter connected for four field markers. De Pauw alumni were out In force and never once stopped rooting for their favorites. Mayor Jewett wa* among the cheering V)e* Pauw grads present.

TEACHERS FALL BEFORE BULLDOGS After being held to a 14 to 10 lead In : the first period, the Butler College court warriors tore loose to run their count up to 41 to 13 against Central Normal at the Butler gym last night. The Teachers, led bv Nelson, offered a strong defense, in the first half nnd Butler had to step some to capture a four-point margin before the rest period, put in the second session the speedy pace began to tell on the visitors and they were able to offer but little resistance to the improved offense of the Page men Butler was so busy making points In this half that they held the ball practleally all the time, allowing the Normaliles only one field goal and a foul toss. Nelson, although unable to score, was the shining light of the Normal play, as he covered the floor in fine style and kept close guard on the Bntler forwards at all ltlmes. to play the Falrplays Monday night and a large crowd of fnns was disappointed when the Falrplays failed to show for the contest. The Grapplers and Chrlatamores clash on the Chrlstamore floor tomorrow night. The Cicero Athletic Club basket team is ready to book games with the best Independent quintettes in Indiana. Address E. C. liny. Cicero. The Turner Seconds are without a game for tomorrow nigtit and would like to hear from fast city and State teams desiring to moot them. The Seconds have not lost a game this season and are out for the Junior championship of the State. For games call Drexel 7695, or address the manager at 907 Prospect street. A large crowd should turn out for the Independent Athletic Club-Den 7.are game on the I. A. C. floor Saturday night. The Den Zare team is composed of Black. Slaughter uud Hawkins of lust year's championship Tech team, and Conn and Bornstein, former high school stars, and should be able to make the Independents hustle for a win. The So'-th Side Turners scored a 30-to--13 win over the North Side Vets on the Vet floor last night, making two straight victories for the Turners over their ancient rivals. Although the score may not signify it, the game played last night between the loonl colored “Y” and the Cleveland (Ohio) Pioneers was one of the most hotly contested games ever played on the local gym floor. The Ohioans went down with a score of 23 to 12 against them. They fought from the start to the finish, but the accuracy of the Buckeye boys at basket shooting was somewhat off. “Hup” Hazzard starred for tbe Hoosiers, making ten points of his team's score. Tho visitors were commended for their fine floor work. The Athenian Athletic Association basket-ball team of Baltimore will play here Friday, Jan. 21.

A. A. U. WOULD SEND STATE ALL-STAR FIVE TO TOURNEY

The classiest amateur basket-ball team In Indiana will be sent to Kansas City to compete In tbe National Amateur Athletic Union basket-ball championship next March In an effort to bring to Hooslerdom the honors that rightfully belong here. Announcement of this fact was made yesterday by T. Neal Wynne, president of the Indiana A. A. U., at an Informal luncheon meeting of the board of directors of that body yesterday. Indiana turns out more basket-ball teams than any other State In the country, and has, in the Indiana High School Athletic Association, the largest basket-ball organization In the world, so there is no reason why Indiana should not easily come to the front with tbe greatest amateur basket-ball team in the country. That Is the belief of President Wynne and he soon will appoint a committee to investigate the amateur standing of the leading teams in tbe State and pick the one with the best rating to represent Indiana In the big tourney. MEET USUALLY LAST OF MARCH. All expenses of the Indiana team will be pnid by the I. A. A. U. The playing dates for the tournament have not been announced by the national championship committee, but It Is customary to stage th event during the last week of March. The fact that Indiana turns out the leading younger players was shown by i the work of the Crawfordsvlile and Winl gate teams last year, ut which time they were 1. 11. 8. A. A. “outlaws." These I two teams battled their way Into the basket spotlight of the country by their victories in the mld-Westem amateur and national prep school tournaments. Crawfordsvlile won the mld-Western amateui tournament played at Cincinnati, j defeating Wingate In the semi-final round. Later the two fives were entered i In the national prep school tourney conducted at Chicago University by Pat Page, present athletic director at Butler College, who at that time was assistant athletic director at Chicago. Wingate won this meet, and evened the count with their Crawfordsvlile rivals by deI fenting them In the final round. | After the tournament Page selected S Goldsberry of \vingate. now playing with | Wabash College, and Shelton and Kirby of CravrfordsviHe on his all-Amerleau mythical team. The A. A.
