CLASS AA MEN AWAIT FURTHER DRAFT THREATS Big Minors Don’t Seem to Be Worried Over Boycott Hint by Majors. By JACK VEIOCK. NEW TORK, Dec. 14.—Major league moguls made plans today to call the bluff of the non-draft minors—if It is a bluff. \ If the “recalcitrants” mean to maintain the stand they hare taken against the ancient right of the majors, it means fight President Charles Ebbetts of the Brooklyn Dodgers sounded the note of warning when he suggested that the major leagues adopt a rule forbidding any eltb owner from purchasing players from the leagues that do not recognize the draft. The minor league club owners are sitting back quietly awaiting developments without comment. The Class AA League advocates of the nondraft would not comment last night on the threat passed out by Ebbetts. They will await action on the part of the majors first. There will be action and probably an abundance of it. The suggestion made by Ebbetts was to be the main topic under discussion by the National League today and President John Heydler said the league ‘Tavors some such action.” That the Nationals will adopt a resolution and carry it on to the American League with the suggestion that it be made unanimous was considered a certainty. Ban Johnson's League went into session today at the Commodore. The American Leaguers had a slatefull of routine business and the like, but as a rule they dispose of such matters quickly. The situation developed out of the draft question was believed sure to come up for discussion and as several American League magnates are known to hold the same opinions as their National League brothers, some sort of drastic action to bring the non-draft minors to time was looked for. The Idea proposed by Charles Ebbets was for the majors to refuse to buy or, sell to the anti-draft leagues until they agree to allow the majors to draft their stars for $5,000 instead of taking then* off the auction block for $76,000 or such. “Let ’em do It. That's just what we want,” Jack Dunn, boss of the Baltimore International League champions, said today. “If they do It there will be three more major leagues In five years.” Outside the draft controversy the clans gathered for the American League meet Ing were wondering "what’ll they do' about Babe Ruth ?’’ While the major league club owners were busy with their meetings today their managers and scouts continued talk-' ing player deals. The lobbies of both the Waldorf and Commodore were crowded with baseball men and managers expected to get warmed up to some real action. Ty Cobb was expected to talk turkey to the Yankees regarding a deal for Teach and Ehmke, both of whom are for sale or trade. Miller Huggins was expected to sign his contract to manage the Yanks again, and do it in time to get down to finalities with Cobb and others who want to swap or sell players. Jim Dunn, Cleveland, openly Is In the market for pitchers. Practically every club wants something. Announcement was expected today that Claude Milan would manage the Washington Senators next season. Officials of the International League adopted a 168-game schedule, opening April 19 and closing Sept. 23, at their wind-up meeting herb Tuesday. Opening games will be played at Newark, Baltimore, Jersey City and Richmond. A auggestlon that the four Northern teams be permitted to train for one week prior to the opening of the season in parks of the Southern teams was adopted. The price of waivers was Increased from SI,OOO to $2,000 and a rule was adopted which will prohibit the withdrawal' of waivers once they have been asked. Judge Refuses to Dismiss Playfellow Damage Suit NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Supreme Court Justice Gannon yesterday denied a motion for dismissol of Harry F. Sinclair's salt to recover from James F. Johnson SIOO,OOO which he paid last June for the race horse Playfellow, 3-year-old brother of Man-O’-War. The motion was made by counsel for Johnson on the ground that Sinclair had failed to prove that Johnson had given any warranty that the horse was not a “windsucker” or a "crlbber.” Justice Gannon held that the statemen - attributed by witnesses to Johnson that Playfellow was “sound and the most perfe- t horse I have ever seen.” was sufficient warranty to justify submitting the case to a jury.

NEWS OF THE DAY IN
Babe Ruth has put another one over; not over the fence this time, but right over the heads of a number of big league scribes. That rumored $85,000 salary demand of the Babe’s has turned out to be merely a publicity yarn. Ruth, being on the stage, felt the need of some winter publicity, so he dumped the yarn on the market and before the New York club owners could deny It the scribes had sent it broadcast. -I- -I- -IThe home run king is the champion publicity getter. He's not an actor, but he’s getting away with It and going big. He does a vaudeville turn with Wellington Cross monolog, singing and “mind reading.” His Alla Axiom stunt Is the prize. The Babe is blindfolded. Cross jumps down Into the audience and asks patrons to furnish some article and the Babe will name it. Cross says: “What’s In this young man’s tie? Don t let this stick you.” . „ “Stick pin,” promptly cracks back the Babe. , , ... "What’s on this young lady s wrist? Now watch out.” “Watch,” snaps the home run king. And on and on they go until the house is In an uproar. And they get away with it! Pitcher Bill Plerey has learned that It doesn’t pay for an ordinary individual to chase around with the stars. Plerey stepped out with Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel on that late and lamented barnstorming tour and he got what they got when Judge Landis swung into ac ton. Bill was fined his world's series earnings, suspended until May 20 and now along comes Manager Huggins of the Yanks and ties the can to Bill. He won t be able to replenish his purse like Ruth and Meusel. They are two good to be ”" d - + + + Andy Smith, California “C coach, says he preferred to play Notre Dame In the New Year’s game at Pasadena but that the Tournament of Boses committee chose Washington and Jefferson. All the same. Smith probably is mighty glad the views of the roses committee were opposite to his. The loeal Junior Chamber of Cnmmerre basket five is just as good as Its name is long—and no one will deny the fact that It has a long distance monicker.
Indiana Will Bring Big Net Squad for Habich Game Here Fifteen men will be brought to Indianapolis by Coach Levis of Indiana fdr the Habich game Thursday night at Tomlinson Hall. The finak cut was made In the Crimson squad last night and the men to survive the pruning knife were as follows: Forwards, Allfridge, Bear, Michener, Houston, Swango and Gilbert; centers. Busby. Sanford and Coffey; floor guards, Thomas, May and t rows, back guards, Hauss, Backner and Eberhardt. Although Indiana has played several games this season the game tomorrow will be the first appearance on a foreign floor. As most of the men are new Levs will get a chance to see how they act when awav from their own baliwlc.i. The I. U. coach is not at all satisfied with the way the five has been going and is continually shifting the players In an effort to find the strongest scoring c< mtination. As in years pa’t the team seems strong on defense, but weak when it comes to putting the ball through the hoop. , „ . - . The local outfit representing Habich Sporting Goods Company is certain to be strong with a line-up including Johnson, one of the best forwards in the game; Kensler. the South Bend “Y” center, and Marty Kavanaugh, formerly of the Detroit Rayls, back guard.
mum Good bowling featured Tuesday night's schedule in the Commercial League. Numerous high marks were posted and competition was close, only one team being able to take three straight.

Entry blanks have been received for the third interstate tournament to be held at South Bend starting Jan. 7, 1922. The upstate meet drew a representative local entry last year and no doubt will appeal’ to many of the regular “traveling clubs” of which this city has quite a few. Twenty-one five-man teams representing the ’local ten-pin fraternity have entered the Central States tourney, which starts at Dayton, Ohio, on Dec. 27. This entry is within one team of a local record for an out-of-town event, twentytwo clubs having rolled in the A. B. €. when held at Cincinnati in 1918.

Butler Pulls Game Out of Fire by Big Rally Near Finish A remarkable late-minute rally gave Butler a 31 to 29 victory over Manchester last night In one of the closest games ever played In the Butler gym. A foul geal by Brown, Butler forward, in the last minute of play followed by a field goal by Capt. Hooker gave the locals a three-point margin which was cut down to the final margin by a Manchester free .throw after the gun had sounded. To Captain Hooker goes the lions share of credit for the Butler victory as this flashy forward shot seven baskets from the field, six of them in the second half when Butler was coming strong to ov, r come a five-point handicap imposed at the end of the first period. The foul goal throwing of Brown was also largely responsible ror the close escape of the local!*, this atbete making good nine out of eleven chances from the free throw line. Butler worked the ball repeatedly through the Manchester defense, but was unable to connect consistently with the hoop. This was especially true in the first half. In the second session things were entirely reversed. Manchester, who In the first half had been making their few shots from far out on the court count with deady accuracy, began to work the ball in for close-up shots, while Butler began to hit the basket consistently from a!l angles of the court. The locals fared badly la the first half of tbp game and at the beginning of the second period seemed to do little lietter. At the middle of this half Manchester had an eight point lead that llooked good for a victory. Then the Christians staged a remarkable rally, both on defense and offense that culminated in the winning points by Hooker and Brown. Stauffer, Leaf and Heeter formed a speedy combination for the visitors and divided scoring honors evenly. Dents Scout Manchester Five in Butler Game The Indiana Dental College basketball players watched the North Manchester Butler game last night. The Tooth Fullers will play North Manchester Friday, at North Manchester, and scouting their opponents may prove a help. The Tooth Pullers meet Munclo Normal at Muncle Thursday.

Coach Ileze Clark will send his team through a hard work-out tonight and ten players will be named to make the trip to Munc-ie and North Manchester, • A big celebration was held at the Dental College yeste/day in honor of the team that defeated Indiana University.

LOCALSCHOOLS IN HARD GAMES Tech at Anderson Tonight, Manual Meets Tough Foes— Shortridge vs. Franklin. Somo of the best high school teams In the State will be met this week by the local “prep” fives, with Tech starting the ball rolling tonight with a contest at Anderson. Technical finally won a game last Saturday with its so-called second string men against the little New Bethel squad. Mills, Nicewander and Aspinal played their first games and seemed to put the added strength in the outfit that enabled it to pull through with the initial victory of the season. The above named men along with Jessup, Gordon, Ewing, Jolley, Vandiver and Carter, will make the Anderson trip. If something extraordinary does not happen the east side aggregation Is in for another bad trimming. The new Tech team that Coach Black has been nursing along for two or three weeks will not play until Jan. 6, when Bedford will be the opposition. The present team is scheduled for one more beating before it gives up the ghost. The fast Muncte outfit is carded to appear at the local Y. M. C. A. on Saturday. Manual will play two State teams, meeting Shelbyville on Friday nnd Lebanon on Saturday. Both contests will be in the homes of the enemy. A hard week of practice has been the program at the south side school and Coach Evans, although pleased with the showing of Ute squad in the overwhelming victory over Wabash last Saturday, nevertheless, pointed out mistakes made in that getto. The Red and White defense has been a subject to which attention has been paid. Chapman and Martin of last year’s squad are expected back in school at the beginning of the next term and the addition of these men may change the lineup of the team slightly. Whatever happens capable substitutes willl be ready to jump Into the game at a moment’s notice, which will greatly Improve she strength of the Manual five. With the team looking good at the present time the local rooters are hoping ror victories In the contests this week, although they are both to be played away from home. Shortridge has one game on the schedule nnd that is “some’’ contest, the Blue and White taking on no Hess an opponent than the State champions, Frankln, here Saturday night. The Northslders showed lots of fight against the Logansport crew last week and if they enu only hit the basket a bit oftener will give the champs a good run for their money. After a one-point defeat at the hands of Martinsville, Franklin came back strong Tuesday night and took the Lebanon team into camp by a 40 to 22 score. Frankllin has another hard game with Columbus before meeting the locals and the title holders may be a trifle slowed up before stacking up against Coach Gorton's aggregation. Shortridge will hnve had a week's work in preparation for the contest and should be ready for the much respected invaders.

TRACY, SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14—The University of California has been awarded the palm for the 1921 football season by the sporting editors of leading Pacific coast, newspapers. In a poll of the sports writers taken to choose an all-Paciflc coast football team for 1021, eight Californians were given first team places and at least one California man was given at least one vote for every position on the theoretical team. In fact, there was one Californian to spare—three California ends being named to fill the two places open. Here Is the way the coast sporting editors would line up the all-Paciflc coast 1921 footbal era: rlayer, Position. Team. Berkey, L. E California Leslie, L. T Oregon Clark, L.

Sacramento Star; Fane Norton, Lop Angeles Herald; Dick Van Horn, San Francisco News; Billy Stepp, Portland News. The fact that only three of the seven who made selections were from California eliminated any possibility of bias. Two positions were filled by unanimous vote. They were right end, for which Stephens of California was the unquestioned choice, and Erb of California for quarter back. <ne writer said that if a second selection were to be made be would place Schlaudeman of Stanford next to Erb. Berkey of California was named for the other end position by five of the seven votes cast. The famous “Brick” Muller, who was Berkey’s competitor, was eliminated because he had played little this year on account of injuries, but two voted for him anyway. Leslie of Oregon was given a close race for left tackle by Barnes of California. McMillan of California was the favorite <k five writers for right tackle with Boyle of U. S. C. his competitor. Cranmer and Clark of California won the guard positions, but they had considerable competition. Crowell of Oregon Aggies received threee votes for right guard, McKay of Washington State was a favorite of two writers for left guard nnd Christenhen of the Oregon Aggies, Smith of the U. S. C. nnd Favllle of Stanford all had support. For center Dunlap of U. S. C. was chosen by four while Latham of California whs gtvon two votes arul MoConniek of Ft Mary’s one.

He warned the high school men to choose a school that would give them an education that would help them earn a living after they had graduated For two hours after the banquet more than three hundred Purdue alumni, the all-star fifteen high school football squad, a number of other athletes from Indianapolis high schools and three Valley Mills High School basket-tall players, heard optimistic talks by Henry W.

The Wabash basket-ball team will start its season tonight against the local Chamber of Commerce five at Tomlinson hall. Coach Vaughan has been sending his men through hard practice sessions for some time, but tonight’s contest will be the initial clash of the season for the Scarlet- It is a tough card to open hostilities with as the Commerce outfit boasts one of the classiest squads of goal gatherers ever assembled here on an independent aggregation. Stevens and Hennessey are two of the best forwards In this city and along with Campbell at center and Hinkle and F. Coiling at guard form a combination that need not take a back seat to any group of net stars anywhere. The new local team made a very good impression in its first appearance here Saturday night against the Butler squad and the fans now know what to expect from the Commerce crew. Wabash will line up with practically the same team that made such an enviable record last season. “Cat” Adam will be at forward, along with Crane or Shelley. Goldsberry will jump at center with Burns and Grater at guards. Crane was Goldsberry’s running mate at Wingate and is touted as a great player. Shelley was a substitute last season and will be remembered as playing on the Crowfordsville High School team of two years ago. He is very fast and aggressive, but his size always has handicapped him in the college game. From the looks of things the Little Giants will be very much in the running again this season and the contest tonight will ghe local basket-ball enthusiasts a chance to see one of the best teams this State has to offer on the hardwood court. The game will start at 8 o’clock.
