DRAFT PROBLEM BOBS UP AGAIN BEFORE OWNERS Decision Reached by American Magnates Will Be Withheld Until National Meets. TRADE RUMORS CURRENT By HARRY WARD. WASHINGTON, Feb. B.—The moguls of the American League, headed by President Ban Johnson, gathered here today for their annual meeting. It is the first time in the history of the organization that Washington has thus been honored and as host. Clark C. Griffith, president of the Washington team, was much in evidence as the rival magnates got together for their annual powwow. The lobby of the Washington Hotel buzzed with baseball talk before the league executives went into secret session with the subject of the draft as the principal topic. President Johnson said that whatever action the club owners piay take in regard to the minor leagues Who are opposing the major’s leagues [elective proposals, will not be made pubic until after the National league holds ts meeting in New York City on Feb. 14. ‘‘A public announcement at this time of the American League’s action with the belligerent minors probably would prove embarrassing to the National League,” Johnson said. As the executive session began it was evident there were many divergent opinions as to which action the league Should take on the draft question. Some Club owners in the junior leagues favor outlawing the belligerents forthwith, others want the American League to declare a ‘‘hands off” policy, while still another faction wants to leave the whole matter up to Judge Kenesaw W. Landis, the “chief justice of baseball,” for settlement. The first matter to come up at today's pieeting was the adoption of the pi lying Bchedule for 1922 which calls for 154 games, opening on April 12 and closing on Oct. 1. Then will come the momentous draft question. In addition to Ban Johnson, those attending the meeting include Colonels Till Huston and Jake Ruppert of the New York club; Harry Frazee of Boston, Jim punn, Cleveland: Frank Navin, Detroit; Clark C. Griffith, Washington; R. W. tjuinn, representing Phil Ball, owner of the St. Louis club: Louis Comiskey, son of Charles Comiskey of Chicago; Tom fchibe and Connie Mack of Philadelphia. Among the managers attending are Miller Hugins of the New York club; Ty Cobb, Detroit; Duffy, Boston, and Lee Foehl of St. Louis. Before the magnates leave town it is expected a number or trades will be consummated. The talk today centertd around the transfer of Amos Strunk from Chicago to New York, and Bobby Veach from Detroit to New York. Boston may also figure in one of these deals. Owner Navin and Manager Ty Cobb of the De. troits have also been approached about Howard Ehmke, Detroit flinger.

Sport Scandalmongers After Maroon Captain

CHICAGO, Feb. B.— Coach A. A. Stagg, of Chicago “U” Is today investigating charges that Cletns Dixon, captain of this year’s baseball team, Is a professional. Dixon admitted playing with the Newell, lowa, semi-pro team, but denies receiving any remuneration for his services. Stagg has the names of teams which Newell played and Is Investigating all sources to substantiate the story of Dixon. who says he also worked at a restaurant between games and received a salary of S2O a week, including meals. PURDUE NOT EXCITED. DAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. B.—N. A. Kellogg, athletic director at Purdue University, received information Tuesday that six Purdue football men had participated In a “pro’’ football game between Gas City and Marion, Ind., at Marion, last fall. No charges have been filed, but an investigation is under way. The Purdue director said he had been informed that Edmund Carman, captain: Ferdinand J. Birk, John Meeker, Paul R. Macklin, Joseph Williams and Neß son Weber, took part in the game after the college season closed. “Four of the men are seniors and we are not worried," Kellogg said. “None of the men mentioned is taking part in any other branch of athletics, and most of them are Ineligible, being down in their studies. Weber and Williams are second string men on last year’s varsity. They are both sophomores. The others are seniors and were through as college athletes at the close of the Turdue 1921 scheduled.” Don White in Game ROCKFORD, 111., Feb.

BILLIARDS

For the few remaining doubtful fans who are still skeptical of this team's ability, the opportunity will be offered Feb. 15 to see it In action at Columbus Feb. 15. The Columbus High School has a wireless station and arrangements may be made with local stations to pick up the details out of the air that evening. Special efforts are being made. It appears, to get Purdue athletes In bad. If any one is getting enjoyment out of that kind of “fun,” he must be a person whose liver Is badly out of whack. Gossipers have whispered in Coach Stagg's ear that his baseball captain worked In a restaurant last summer for S2O a week and his meals and played a little baseball with the town team. Perhaps if this athlete didn’t know how to play ball be would not have obtained that restaurant job and perhaps starved to death. Then, perhaps, the gossipers would have been satisfied. The State college basket-tail race remains scrambled. Big games left are I’urdue-Indlana, De Pauw-Wabasb, Wa-bash-Butler again, Franklin-Butler, But-ler-De Pauw again, Wabash-Purdue. There is time left for plenty things to happen. Big deals are said to be brewing In the American League. There probably is something else brewing at that Washington meeting of the magnates. Manager Ty Cobb Is not going to make It hard for himself. He says if his team has good fielding it ought to finish fourth or fifth in the next race. Fathers are urged to warn their offspring against playing marbles for ’ikeeps.” When the lads grow up and enter college someone might charge ’em with professionalism.

BUTLER PULLS NEAT VICTORY OVER WABASH Pagemen Sharp-Shoot From All Angles and Finally Lower Scarlet Colors. CONTEST IS EXCITING By TOM BATCHELOR. Staff Correspondent of the Times. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 8 Years and years ago a certain Giant was hustling up a w. k. beanstalk when a young man known as Jack-the-Glant-Killer appeared on the scene, chopped the beanstalk down and sent said Giant crashing to earth for the count. Last night, or rather up until last night, a whole flock of “Little Giants,” aided and abetted by one Pete Va'ughan, were hustling up the beanstalk that leads to the Indiana college basket-ball championship wheii lo and behold a modern “Jack” appeared and sent the whole bunch down to the bottom again. “Jack” in this case was none other than H. Orville Page and his basket tossers from the suburb of Irvington, Indianapolis. Tho score was 31 to 26. But the game Itself was one of those whoopity whoop, slam-bang last-minute decision affairs that make Hoosier basketball such a treat and a strain for the spectators. The first half, at least the early part of it, was all for Wabash, the early part of the second session was ail Butiers and the last part of the second half was anybody’s, that Is until the last couple of minutes when Griggs and Leslie entered the game for the Pagemen and tossed enough baskets to change a 25 to 24 advance score into a 31 to 26 victory. Referee Jamieson’s starting whistle was still tooting when Pete Thorn, who essayed the hero role for the Scarlet, tossed one in from the middle of the court. “Goldie” dropped in a couple of l'ouls and Thorn counted again, this time from under the basket. Brown scored Butler's first point with a foul throw at this point, but another Wabash field goal brought the score to 8 to 1. Here Butler took time out to fondle the ball which tho Scarlet players had re-' fused to let them even touch. The teams played evenly for several minutes and the score rose to 13 to 7. Then bang, ‘bang,’ bang,’ Butler came to life. Leslie threw one over with one hand from the corner of the floor as he fell down, Jones, who had taken Colway's place, threw one over his shoulder, and Leslie used both hands to toss one in from tha center and the score was a tie. An exchange of points Just before the game favored Wabash and at half-time the' Scarlet held a 15 to 14 advantage. Tho second half opened wilts the ball in Captain Hookers’ possession in the middle of the floor. He shot and Butler went Into the lead. The ball was tossed up again and the Bntier leader repeated. The two shots were so much alike that Wabash fans thought they were seeing double. Brown bad to throw over his bend for the next basket and the score was 20 to 15, Butler. Crane brought the Butler celebration te nporarily to n halt by ringing one up fium tho side of the floor. Leslie threw tv o more baskets while the Wabash team sii making three points and the score read Butler 24, Wabash 20. At this point Vaughan sent Pea re and Schanlaub to tho rescue and their presence inspired Craue and “Goldie” to tie up the scoro with a couple of field goals. Wabash Joy was further increased when “Goldie" put the Scarlet in the lead with a free toss. With less than five minutes to go Griggs arid Colway went in for Leslie and Brown. Nothing startling happened and after a thirty-second rest Leslie returned to the game. As soon as he got his hands on the ball he let it fly at and through the basket. Griggs repeated and added 1 foul throw for good measure. “Goldie” ;ot another foul and in a frantic effort to get the ball the Wabash defense strayed away from their post and allowed Griggs to dribble In for an easy two points Just as the game ended. SHORT ONES AND LONG ONES. The first half was a battle between centers. Thorn scored four of Wabash's five goals In this session and Leslie accounted for three of Butler's four. It looked like Thorn was going to be a real-for-sure thorn in Butler's side, for a while. Tho big fellow was hitting from all angles In the early part of the but In the second period he missed io easy ones under the basket. He failed to score in tho last half. Jones for Colway, Page’s first substitution, put Butler on the victory path. The tall boy played one of the best games of his career. He stretched up In the afr for Wabash's long passes and got the ball off the back board nearly every time. Colway played a scrappy game, but the bigger Scarlet players outjumped him on their follow-up shots. Jones contributed a tong field goal that was spectacular. The Anderson “biaze-away” had a Mg time last night after it got started. Leslie counted six times from the field, three in each half, and only one was a short

Crane threatened to bring Bntier to grief in tha last half with three pretty long ones at opportune times. Goldsberry again played a wonderful defensive game, but the Scarlet team missed the baskets he got last year so frequently. Mlddlesworth was the scrappiest man on the floor. Wabash forwards found him harder to elude than a landlord. Griggs averaged better than a point a minute in the short time he was In. The flashy freshman cinched tho victory. Contrary to expectations, a small crowd turned out for the fray. Those who stayed at home missed a wonderful basket-ball game. Pete Vaughan’s pet warning to his players goes something like this: “Basket-bail Is played In sp’urts, Don’t get discouraged when the other team scores live or six points in a row.” They dldu’t get discouraged when Butler took the last spurt. They were Just dslappoluted. Butler contributed the feature shots of the evening. Leslie threw one with one hand as be fell down. Jones threw over his shoulder for another and Brown tossed one over hts head. The rest of the Butler scores came from the center of the floor. It was Page’s first victory over Wabash since he took hold of the athletic reins at Butler. He has good rettoon to smile; he believes the Scarlet Jinx now broken. BUTLER CELEBRATES.
