JRGE ECONOMY IN RANKS OF MINOR TEAMS Retrenchment Policies 'seeded to Help Little Leagues, Officials Assert. MAGNATES AT BUFFALO By JACK VKIOCK, IntfrnatiuiuU Sew* eports Editor. BUFFALO, Dec. s.—This mans town 8 the mecca of baseballiloui today. Maiclates great and small, ball players, manLgera and baseball scribes are gathered or the annual convention of the National Association of Professional Baseball .leagues, which gets under way tonorrow. Everybody of Importance In baseball, 'rotn Judge K. M. Landis, high catninislioner, oil down the line, is here, or will >e here for the meeting. President Michael Sexton of the Naional Association sounded the keynote >t the convention today when he came >Ut strongly for retrenchment among he minors next season. “Many minor league club owners overitepped themselves last season,” said Sexton, "and lost money as a result. I hink there should be agreements made imong major and minor leagues to carry lewer players and cut down expenses tanarally.” The question of the draft and Us adopion by all of the minor leagues promses to become the storm center of the invention. The major leagues want the dd order restored, but the three Class AA leagues—the International. American Association and Pacific Coast —and seviral Class A leagues are prepared to ight against such a move unless they get l much higher amount for drafted plav•rs than called for by the present scale. With <ne -gathering of the magnates, alk of Tades and sales became brisk, n the International League, for instance, here Is going to be a housecleaning. Jack >unn of Baltimore, is said to have asked valvers on a number of his players. It s also whlspjered that Dunn has agreed o sell three of his stars —Piteher Jack Jentley and Outfielders Jacobson and iiAwrie —to some big league club. The ■unaway race made by tue Orioles hist leason almost wrecked the International League. Manager Moran and President Garry Serrmann of the Cincinnati Keds, were tmong early arrivals. Moran was silent ■egarding rumors that Eddie Roush and Seinie Groh are on the market, but adnltted that he came here prepared to nake some deals. Most of the early arrivals were Westerners—Jack Hendricks, manager of the Indianapolis Club; Clarence Howland, nanager of the Columbus Club; William iilepfer, owner of the Portland Club; Dr. Charles Strube, president of the San Fran•lsco Club; W. Bahman, president of the IMedmont League, and others. The Major League arrivals Included larry Herrmann and Pat Moran of Cininnati; Colonel T. L. nuston and Miller Inggins of the New York Yankees; John icGraw and James Tierney of the New fork Giants. Jack Skellv, formerly connected with he Akron International League Club, aid he was applying for a franchise for ’rovldence In the International Circuit in 923.

Hornsby Whole Sho\y in National League Batting Circles for Past Season

Two hundred and forty-five players took part In games for the National League clubs during the last season. Os this number, 107 players engaged In fifteen'* or more games, while sixty-eight played In less than fifteen contests. National League batting' history of the previous year repeated Itself, as both Rogers Hornsby and the St. Louis Cardinals won leading honors for the second successive year. Hornsby's batting mark of 397 1s the highest average since 1899, when Edward Delehanty of Philadelphia led the league with an average of .408. It is a net gain of 27 percentage points over his mark of 1920, while the St. Louis club, which led In club batting with a percentage of .308, Improved Its mark of 1920 by 19 percentage points. Rogers Hornsby made the most hits. 235, led In two-base hits, with forty-four, and tied with Ray Powell of Boston for the. most three-baggers with eighteen. Like last year, Rogers Hornsby again leads the long hitters with STS total bases for an extra base percentage of .630. Catqher Otto Miller. Indianapolis veteran with Brooklyn, did not have a heavy batting year. Ilis average was .234. Frank Frisch of N'ew York was easily the leading base-stealer, with forty-nine stolen bases. Ivan Olson of Brooklyn faced pitching the most, going to the bat 852 times. Sir- players engaged In every game their clubs played, as follows: Hornsby 154, Fr'sch. Bancroft, Boeckel and Bohne 153 each, and James Johnston 152. A tie exists for the longest of safe hitting In consecutive games, as Carson Bigsbee and Joseph Rapp, both maintained batting streaks In twentythree successive games. Milton Stock of St. Louis led at sacrificing, with thirty-six sacrifice hits. The ten leading hitters among the regulars follow: INDIVIDUALS. G AB H Pet.

Belmonts Lose to Kokomo Legion in Mud by Score, J 3-0 Cardwell, Visiting Captain, Shows Great Form in Leading Team to Victory. The Kokomo American Legion football team came to this city yesterday and showed the Belmonts, city champs, something new about the passing game. The final score was 13 to 0 and represents very accurately the comparative strength of the two teams. The field was snow and mud-covered, but this fact did not seem to halt, to the slightest extent, the passing game of the visitors. It was a case of the Belmonts getting some of their own medicine. In both games that decided the city title the Belmonts won by the use of the forward pass. Yesterday the tables were turned and the visitors opened up a deceptive attack that had the west siders very much bewildered. It was surprising how well the legion team handled the mudcovered pigskin. Oh many plays the ball was passed three times, but there were only a couple fumbles on the difficult formations. The Kokomo eleven got away with two of the longest passes seen here tills season on a triple-pass play in which the entire local team was drawn to one side of the field only to have an opposing back field man cut back across in the opposite direction and shoot a fifty-yard pass down the unprotected side of the grid. Cardwell of Kokomo wag the big star of the contest. His passing was the most accurate seen on an Independent team this year and besides his throwing ability he carried the ‘'triple threat” that one hears so much about In the east. He could run the ball, pass or kick from the same formation. Ilis interference for the other backs was responsible for numerous gains. The entire Kokomo team'played a brand of football that has not been seen here before this season and deserves nothing but praise. The Legion bunch was a true example of what a hard-playing, well-conehed team can do. The scores came in the second anil fourth quarters. The first touchdown went over as the result of a long pass and the last marker was carried over by Captain Cardwell, who hit the line like a ton of brick for the few remaining yards needed, after the ball had been carried down the field on a series of end runs as the Belmonts weakened slightly. The Belmonts lost their best chance to score In the escond quarter when "La Gooch" was stopped with only a *foot to go to make first down within the opponents two-yard line.

iJIGuScUOOL gfi&SPORTS LOCAL TEAMS GOIXG BADLY Two more defeats Saturday night brought the record of the local high schools ever the week-end up to five beatings In as ma ly starts. Manual and Tech were the unfortunates Saturday night, the former falling before Pendleton 39 to 19. while the Green and White was bewildered by the onslaught of the Columbus five to the tune of 61 to 11. Since Columbus met Manual Friday night and Tech Saturday local fans now in a position to compare these two local fives. The conclusion instantly reached is that they are absolutely even —both as bad as It Is possible for a high school team to be. The Columbus-Manual score was 61 to 13. Tech's showing in the game Saturday was pitiful. Columbus would come sweeping down the floor toward the basket, passing the ball over and around the Tech players at will and when It came time to drop It through the net several visiting players would be clustered directly under the basket while the Tech guards would be several yards out on the floor. The Green and White offense was little better and on the few times when the forwards found themselves uncovered under their own basket they would station themselves on each, side of the hoop and toss the ball over and back to each other until Columbus players came and took It away from them. Ztgler. Essex and Lucas bore the brunt of the Columbus scoring and formed one of the fastest combinations that has shown here in son a time. Jolley and Schetters divided the scoring honors for Tech, the former getting three field goals and the latter two. The miserable exhibition put up by Tech cannot detract from the brilliance of the Colu.vbus outfit. The downstaters showed a vorld of stuff and should make a great bill this year for the highest high school honors in Hoosierdora. Manual went fairly good In the first half at Pendleton, but weakened In the second session. The .score at half time was 10 to 8 in favor of the winners. Ashbaugh led the scoring for Peffdletou with six baskets from the Held and four from the foul line. Howard, Manual forward, starred for his team with four field goals and five free throws. City H. S. Awards The committee In charge of selecting the fifteen high school football players In Indianapolis who have made the best showing this year announces that two representatives each from Manual, Tech and Sbortrblge and one representative of each of the local newspapers will gather at the Chamber of Commerce tomorrowevening when the players will b# picked and arrangements made for the award* lng of the Purdue Alumni Association medals.

WRESTLING

IN CONFERENCE BASKET CAMPS

. lOWA, lOWA CITY, lowa, Dec. 6.—Much hope for the success of lowa basket-ball this year rests upon the shoulders of Aubrey. Devine, fleet quarter back, who carried the Haw-keyes through a sensational season on the gridiron. Devine is being drilled for back guard, left vacant by Kaufman, the only letter man to graduate last spring. Other posts will be fortified by veterans. Four of the candidates on the large squad which Is reporting daily have played together for three campaigns. Headed by Capt. Frank Shimek, who is slated for running guard, Coach Jimmy Ashmore has Lohmau, Forhwein and MeGovney, all seasoned Big Ten performers. Frohwein and Lohman are battling for forwards against a fast field of yearlings, with McGovney also a contender. The lutter's rise last winter from thirdstring to the varsity was one of the year. Center aspirants are numerous. Os the four leaders, all of whom a par. Barten, star of the freshmen squad, appears to have an edge, mainly due to his size.and speed. He is an accurate basket ringer, and has had a world of experience, placing on the all-State selections in high school. For reserves Coach Ashmore can depend upon Weltmer and Brentiss, guards, both id' whom won letters. Gordon is another who may figure prominently before the season advances far. A barnstorming trip during the Christmas holiday period Is planned, in addition to games with small colleges, listed before the opening of the Bib Ten cainpaign. If Devine shows anything like the proficiency, on the court that he did „u the gridiron, close followers predirt that lowa will be in the fight all year tor titular honors. ILLINOIS. URBANA, 111., Dec. s—“lf Charles Carney’s Injured knee rounds into shape, we 11 have a championship team." Such is the sentiment on the Ut iversit" of Illinois campus as the basket-baii reason approaches. In a large measure, the success of the Illlni quinettte docs depend oil Carney. The big fellow, an all-American end, and captain of the floor team, wrenched his knee a year ago In the Ohio football clash. It has not healed properly. He attempted football this fall, but another Injury to the knee In the Michigan battle forced him to retire for the Beeson. Last winter he wore a steel and leather cast on his leg, but was of little service to the Orunge and Bice. A long rest has aided considerably, but Oufaeh Frank Winters is still dubious regarding the captain's chances to withstand a hard gruelling campaign. Carney plays center and much of the offensive work is built around him. Two years ago he led the West in points scored, lie is vitally needed this winter ns Reltsch, last season’s pivot, did not return to the University. Walqnlst, Sabo and Collins are the three letter men on hand. In addition to Carney. Tlie two former have practically cinched the forward berths, while Collins has shown great Improvement ss back guard. That leaves the running guard post open. Dave Wilson, football end, may got it, tut will be pressed closely by youngste a of merit from the freshmen squad. In case Carney cannot plhy regularlv Stillwell Is being groomed as understudy. Stllhvll is a brilliant basket shooter, and works nicely with the speedy passing game. Illinois opens the Conference season against Ohio State at Columbus. Jan. 14. A number of practice tilts. Including a pair with Notre Dsme are scheduled previous to the chatnplonshin Inaugural. MINNESOTA. MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. s.—Loss of last year's veterans and luck of experience dim Minnesota's prospects for a Western Conference basket-ball flag. Only two seasoned players. Captain Adrian Kearney and Rudolph Hultrans, both guards, are available for the team. With this pair as a nucleus, Dr. L. J. Cooke must develop practically n new five. In A. Oss and Neal Arnstone, the Gophers, wbo tied for second place last winter, lost as clever anil as sensational a pair of forwards as the West has known In seasons. These men made the Maroon and Gold one of the most-feared fives In the circuit. Fred Enke’s post at back guard will also boa difficult one for Dr. Cooke to fill satisfactorily. Development of two capable forwards and a pivot is the veteran mentor's greatest task. Both Captain Kearney and Hultrans appear fixtures at the gu..rd berths. Oscar Swanson, formerly of St. Thomas College, and Cyril Olsen, a speedy man from the football team, have the eilge at present for forwards, though four other good candidates cannot yet bo counted out of the running. They are Everett Johnson, Ed Severinson. Albert Touskey and Gordon Maher. 1 Both of the leading pivot aspirants, Grimes and Tom Berfcer, are untried in Big Ten circles. Both, however, are tall, agile vouths who should Improve. The flashy * Arnold Oss has been engaged to assist with’the coaching, and will pay particular attention to the forwards. I,other Seminary, Si. Olaf, MacAlester and River Falls Normal have been secured for practice games, while other

NEW YORK, Dec. s.—Some of Uncle Sam's real fighting boys are going to have a chance to show their skill once more Tex Rickard and the local officers of the American Legion have about completed arrangements for a monster tournament to be held in Madison Square Garden some time next, month. It is more than likely that Capt. Bob Roper and the other soldier heavy, Bob Martin will be matched for one of the bouts. Mike O’Dowd may meet Fay Reiser In another one of the matches, joe Welling, the veteran Chicago-light-weight, who was one of the first boxers to enlist for the biff world quarrel will also have to bo provided Mith a Toe lynch, former bantam champion, and Midget Smith were also members of Uncle Sam’s big party and will surely be enlisted for the big_torunament.

tilts are pending with North Dakota and Kansas, prior to the opening of the Big Ten pennant chase. r CHICAGO. CHICAGO, Dec. 5. —With the recent appointment of Nels Norgren as head bas-ket-ball coach at the University of Chicago, prospects for a title carry a rosy hue. Norgren, a Maroon graduate, piloted the University of Utah five in 1916 when It won the National A. A. U. championship. Director Stagg’s retirement from basket-ball coaching was expected by those on the Inside at the Midway Institution. Handling football and track, and directing the athletic department, with basket-ball added, was too much for the “Grand Old Man." He suggested NOrgren. Though the material does not compare with that left as a heritage to Stagg last season, Coach Norgren has a galaxy of clever performers around whom to construct a winning combination. Captain Crisler, back guard, Is lost, as are Bobby Kirkhoff and Vollmer, the two forwards of 1920 21. This holdovers are Captain Ilalladay, center; McGuire, running guard, and Stahr, sub forward. With this nucleus Norgren has only to find a back guard and a mate for the speedy Stahr. That should be comparatively easy from the list of possibilities who have reported for early practice. One of these posts is almost settled now—that of back guard, which should fall to Johnny Bryan, a member of the 191S team. If Milt Romney, captain-elect of football, and star of the Wisconsin and Princeton battles, shows expected possibilities at the floor game, Norgren will havo a speedy forward to work with Stahr or Bryan. NORTHWESTERN. EVANSTON, 111., Dec. s.—For the first time in seasons North westerr University's basket-ball hopes are high. The Purple tossers lost only one regular by graduation, Lyman, forward, and the yearling material, after several days of careful pruning, gives evidence of great strength. Besides, the North Shore lads have ft new roach, Dr. Dana Evans, formerly of Indiana University and Beloit. Evans comes to Northwestern with an excellent reputation as a tutor of winning basket-ball fives. Though Northwestern won but a single Big Ten game last season, defeating Wisconsin in the opener, followers believe that Evans with the strong nucleus of veterans, will finish near the top when the curtain falls in March. Three good forwards are available, Vincent Franzen, Saunders and Palmer. This trio is staging a merry rare Tor permanent berths. Holmes, who handled the pivot place creditably last winter, Is counted again a fixture, though Houghton, a sophomore, may break into the line-up frequently, if he shows expected form. Jimmy Patterson. football captain-elect. Is the lending contender for back guard, while McKenzie and Calhoun, clever performers In the passing gnme on the oflor. are highly touted as aspirants for running guard.

MICHIGAN. ANN ARBOR. Mich., Dec. 5. —Michigan figures on an auspicious start in the Big Ten basket ball race. Last season, the Wolvprlnes got away slowly, losing throe straight conference games before pulling themselves together, and finally tying for the title.
