BY C. H. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK. Oct. 9. The small number of minor league players drafted this year by the majors is an indication of the caution with which baseball is moving these precarious times. Fear of that bigger draft. The United States Army, the uncertainty if the game in 1318, and a dozen other things is injecting a spirit of go-easiness into the game it has never felt before. The National Commission had taken steps to protect clubs drafting players when it announced that, in case a player was drafted for the army, he would be turned back to the club from which he was taken and the purchase price reuriid to the club drafting him. Just the same, biff leaguers and the smaller classes are taking few chances. The same thing has been true of the number of players purchased. Many players promising er.ovigh for a trip to the big show, have been left in the minors this year simply because the big clubs didn't feel like taking chances. This is only one more rock over which minor leagues must crawl before

they can see their way to prosperous baseball next reason. The male of players always hat been one of their principal eour.es cf revenue. As the year wears on it becomes more and more apparent that only the strongest of the smiiler base ball classifications will be iihle to stand the strongarm methods war is using on their treasuries. Several leagues already have thrown up the sponge. The season just closed will be '.he end for many more.

When Harry Hempstead mystified every big leaguer in the country by drafting "Tanglefoot" of Grand lialds. he hecame the first man to put one over on John K. Brure. Tanglefeet, acenrding to Hempstead, was the greatest f!y catcher the world ever saw. The joke originated In the I'olo Grounds where the fence surrounding the park bears a sign reading: "Burns, New York, caught 2S7 flies in 1911;. Tanglefoot, Grand Rapids, caught 50,('00,fino,0fn1 flie." "Some fly caicher." figured Hempstead so he put in a draft for the marvel and sent in a chck to pay for him. The draft was official and will go into the records of the National Commission.

Among the visi.tors to the world's series at Chicago was William (Larry) Mullen, a business man of Hampton. Ia. Done with the game there Bill ran down to Gary and Hammond for a visit with old friends. But he found only a few of them left Gary's population is so shifting! He looked up and down Gary for the members of his old ball team, but he found but one left in town, Ray Benight. It was Mullen, who in 19d8 took Gary's first ball team for a tour of the wesU Incidentally he advertised Gary, then a new town. Taken Tor Indians. "In many towns, folks read 'Gary. In

diana' on the men's waists. They

thought it was Gary Indians, and that we were a lot of red men," said Mullen. "All those players are scattered to the four corners of the globe now; some are dead: others are with big teams. I've run across 'em in all parts of the country."

The rca.son Mul!-n fame to Chicago was not so much to see the series as it was to see Red Faher pitch for the Sox. Red graduated from the Gary team into the big leagues. Another one of the 19''S Gary team graduaies was Arnold Hauler, who played with St. Louis Nationals. Still another was Ed Pierce, who was tttken up by Mobile. While on a vacation from Mobile Kd worked at the Ggry steel plant and was killed there one cay by a high-tension wire. "When we toured the west In 190S every town we would stop at would try to grab some of my rlajers. Some did get them. We returned to Gary.-straggling hack after 2 months, and I think that we helped to put the burg on the map." said Mulien. Several jeai ago Mullen lived for a time at Hammond le owns a lot in the Gostlifi and Mevn addition. In 1909, durinjr the first city election. Mullen ran for eity treasurer on the Crolrus demo
