TRADES WITH MINORS
New Rule Provides That Any Player Sent Out te Miner
League Club Will Be Subject te Draft Jack Dunn
'Making Hay While Sun Shines
mil
l!y STOXEY MeLIXN
New Yerlt, Dec. 10.
IIH la;clall mnsnetrn who remnlncd in tlie metropolis for nfter-the-
J- nicetim; recreation were dlscusslnt; the possibility of n war between the
major ami non-draft miners ns a result of the action taken at tne joint
lectins of the American ami National Leagues.
Of course, the bljc leaguers illil net de a thing which would abrogate the
agreement between tlie majors and nnti-drnft miners. Hut they provided se
that deals between the Amerlrun and National
Leagues and the higher class miners will be
few and far between In the net tee-distant
future.
The regulation In question provides that
any player sent out te a miner league club will
be subject te the draft. Suppose we take n
concrete illustration of jiift what this means.
Hale, who once plned with Detroit, was shipped
te the Portland club of the Pacific Coast League.
Hocentl Cennie Mack bought him for players
anil cash said te represent .575,000. New had
Hale been sent te l'ertland by Detroit under
the new rule he would have been subject te the.
draft and the Athletics or another big league
club might have obtained him for $."000.
At the present time the international and
1'arltie Coast Leagues, the American Association
,,.,,1 tlie We-tem and Three 1 Leagues de net
STONCY McLINN Mibmit te drafting en the part of the big leagues.
Thcv ma continue te get plavers from miners of a lower class and colleges
and back' lets and develop them te a degree of expertne-s that will make it
possible te demand f.n.ej prices, IJut as a matter of fact the majors hnc
scouts combing the entire immtiy for plajers, and uuall a lad who has
possibilities lands with a hi,- league club for a trial before he i heard about
by the anti-draft mineis.
Consequently, there will be very few players en the payroll of the five
draft-resisting league clubs that will net have come from the majors; there
fore, subject te the draft. Or the top miners will, eventually, have players
possessing less ability than lower class miners who de submit te the draft.
Ay OTHER 6efy Meir at the top-class miners icas the increase in
A the number uf players that a major leutue club may send nut en
option from eight te fifteen. This rule means that each club eill
have at least fifteen young player n fJie process nf development in a
miner league who may be recalled if they show improvement icerthy
of big league clothing.
Blew Aimed at Miners
rTllH several regulations adopted by the big leagues have the desired
effect it is entire!;, probable that Inside of two or three years tbere will
be no pun-hates for ii'sim greater than S.'OOO from miner league clubs. And
the Clus A A organizations will hae lest what te some, of them has been
their principal seuric of revenue.
Jut It Dunn, t'ie Haltimere magnate, Is an example of a miner league
owner who had the opportunity te become rtcli under the sjstera new prc
TBlIIng. Dunn sold Iient'.ey te the (Hants for n price which one may guess
wns 70.000 a guess that probably is exact. It is also mere than likely that
the Yanks offered twice that amount for Jee Heley, the shortstop whom the
Baltimore lender lnsl-ts will net be se'd. And with Dgden, Mc.Uey and
ethers who arc desired by lig league lubs and who would bring piles of
dollars Dunn might get half a million and still bine a ball club that would
make a geed showing In the International League.
Indeed, the new rule may affect some of the deals which hme been made.
Unless Cennie Mack names the plnirs who are te go te Portland as part
payment for Hale prier te January 10, when the new rule becomes effective.
the Oregon magnate may refuse te de bii-lne-s. Kr after the date mentioned
players sent te 1'ertlnnd by Mack would be subject te the draft. This would
considerably reduce their alue te the l'neltic Coast League dub.
The crafty Dunn may have had mi inkling of what the big league mag
nates planned 'te de te fight the anti-draft AA clubs, for it Is said that when
discussing the sale of Hentley with Mitlraw he wa-, first offered Stitl.OOO and
four players valued at SL'eOO each. "Why net make it 70.000," the Haiti Haiti
mercan Is reported te h.'ue said. Met S raw agreed and the new rule will have
no effect upon the Haltlmere-tiinnt deal.

Cobb Is Greatest Player
AND it was their unanimous opinion that Ty Cobb was the gieatest plajer
who ever lived mid that his ability never will be equaled. "I ued te
My that Honus Wagner was the greatest of all players; perhaps he was in
aeme ways," said Kvers. "Hut for all-around nbility and constant use of
the old brain, Cobb is far and away superior te Wagner or any ether player.
I realize that new tiiat I have been In the American League as n conch and
have seen Tjrus perform.
"Tin' worries .f managing a club usually hurt the play of a man. He
must think for eight ether men as weil as himself. Cobb seems te have lest
none of his effe-tivi'iic" bccuui be is directing the Tigers."
Chance and Meran agreed with all that Kvers said. Kvers told hew,
when Wagner n in his prime as :i batsman, and a man was op third with
none out, he and Tinker would p'n In en the grass and shout te Honus,
"Come en. jeu big Du'chman. hit one with all you've get; mi can't get lr
through us." Jel.rny der'ared that almost without exception Wagner did
hit the ball te n-i Inlielder for an out nt the plate.
Cobl) Is quite different, accerdln,' te Kvers. He said the (leerglan would
either poke a short fly ever the heads of the inficlders or chop a high bounder
that would go for n bit

fcerer, who insists that Cobb Is net entitled te the hit in New Yerk en May

Tiye Brilliant ?mg Battles
HAD Benny Leenard been free fiem his theatrical duties te minglr uth
the spectators in Madisen Square (inrden last night he would hne wit
neiwed two bouts thnt might have ghen him cause for meditation. Net te say
thnt Charley White or Johnny Shugrue, who wen the lights, would have.
licked the skilled ring general and vigorous puncher who is king of the light
weights. Hut they fought with the wildcat ferocity and courage that would
have made them dangerous for any opponents.
It has been a long while since two bouts that equaled these of last night
for real lighting have been staged in the same ring en the Fame night. Charley
White gave an exhibition that stamps him as a game athlete ; a man who is
never licked until he Is quite unouscieus. Ititchie Mitchell, the Milwaukee
lad, who was the veteran Chicago lightweight's opponent, had him all lmt

did net have a ltcuit of steel.
White's face was literally beaten te a pulp. That expressing Is quite
apropos. His eje was part'y closed and there was a cut below K en his
cheek His nose was flattened and bent across his face. His mouth was cut
and bleed spouted from berveen his lips. Hut he fought bac with a deter

THERE is something superhuman nfeeut the strength nnd endurance ami hi
of Helne Miller, the greatest end that ever wero the Red nnd Blue of
Pennsylvania.
We used te sit and marvel nt this fleet vdngmnn In Ms college days wW
he would .swing into nctien with his short, jerky, quick steps and knife an enem
thrust nt his end, nt the line nnd even at the ether end. '
"We hnvc seen him threw himself headlong Inte n liuninn wall of fljlm
interference, have scen him covered nnd smothered when the wall crum'bUd
crushlngly ever him, nnd yet one hnnd would slip out of the tangled mass e
arms nnd legs, grnsp the runner by the nnkle nnd bring him te the ground.
As the tangle would unravel, we would fear thnt Heine would be left ceM
en the earth, but up he would get nnd bwIiir into his position.
He seemed te be a human shock 'absorber. In his lenp career nt M
cersburg nnd Pennsylvania he was hurt seriously enough te be removed from tb
game only once, nnd thut wns against Pittsburgh in his last year as a cel.
leglate player. Net once up te thnt time wns he ever replaced by n substitute.
In 1020 Miller turned professional and he began ngaln te pile up a con.
secutlve playing record, participating in far mere gnmes In one season than
he ever did in college.
Fer two seasons Miller escaped injury nnd he wns never removed from a
Knmc, hut two weeks nge he took himself out of the Akren contest because a
battered, bruised nnd swollen knee would net permit him te renm nbeut the
gridiron. I'p te thnt time he had played through fifty-nine full games, twenty,
three In 1020, eighteen in 1021 nnd eighteen this Masen.

MKDIOL'RK officials are saturated with the ideas that they must
favor the home team te held their positions. Ne college or rliib.
respecting the ethics, of fair play, would stand for a repetition of whole
sale favoritism.
Beb Enisllc An Umpire Universally Respected
IN DIRKCT contrast te the home club official is, or was, Beb Linslle, a
baseball umpire for thirty-live jears. Reb wns fair and fearless. He called
" 'em ns he saw 'cm," even when the shouts of ii hostile crowd were rlnglnj
in his ears.
We speak of the veteran umpire In the past tense, for he has been retired
by the National League from active duly en the field, but retained in nn adviser
capacity te Jehn A. Hejdler, the president of the senior organization.
Khislie served the Nntiennl League as umpire for thirty-one jears nnd, la
that time, established a reputation for fairness than few arbiters are able te
attain.
It was the fearlessness of the aged umpire, combined with his knowledge
of the p'.aj.ing rules, which led te his success in his chosen field. Most of th
arbiters are unhersally hated. If for no etiier reason than tne mere fact that
they are umpires, but V. islie enjoyed popularity among players and fan.
He was universally likid i.iid respected.
i:inslie did net belii'M' in taking the ball players' money away frea
them, and he steed for abuses which the nerage umpire would net endure.
He Muililcd arguments, but when the nggressive player became insistent, he
did net hesitate te put him out of the game mid fine him.
EMSLIE has called them wrong in his day. hut net intentional!.
We all umbe mistakes, but we would llhe te ee through life making
as few emirs as Heb Finsllc made en the baseball diamond.
