~4 HAT difficulty in the American Football Association bids fair to be

sufferer

The present champions. the Carks, are likely to get into the semi-hnal
round for the ancient trophy, but it will be at the expense of a split in the
association. A bitter feeling between the Down East" organizations and the
breach seems to be inevitable under the present conditions.

johnson peerys Evil Of Over.draftng Young PLAYERS.

It's back TO the minors @ for q whole bunch of baseball players who
we're drafted last year by the big leaguers from the National Association clubs
baseball magnates as TO who gets the coin that is spent for these drafted play
es.
President Johnson of the American League, says: Altogether too many
men are being picked up in the major league dragnets. It is a laudable enter
ing every half-developed player INTO company too fast for him. 1t makes the
youngster dissatisfied when he returns to the minors OF course, he wants a
big league salary just the same, and if he doesn't get it his balphying isn't
Is good because he is digrunled."
President johnson figures that "a per cent. Of the money paid in drafting
young players is a dead loss, as according to his view of il. the players taken
by the major league clubs are returned to the minors at a far less purchase
price than vas paid for them.
on the other hand. the minors. especially the class A clubs, are continually
fellows. Every owner OF manager in minor league ranks is always ready %
prove that the major leaguers are making a good profit o. the players they
draft and then sell back to the little fellows"
1t is certain that some managers who draft from thirty to forty young
players a year are lot losing rs Der cent Of the money they put into these
players !
If a player is really promising, hut not ripe" he is EARNED out" for
a year to develop This is the evil the National Commission is trying to
break up by forcing the club owners TO get waivers from all the clubs in the
two big leagues.
A prominent minor league manager said the other day: "f they would
regulate the drafting system SO that a player would rave to take a course
in the various minor leagues just the IA as a student does n a college.
/ think the evil would be removed,
For instance, if there lis a good player in Glass c, the mex higher class
league in baseball should have the first rack al him, and so on up the line
until he has served at least four years in the minor leagues BY that time
he would be ripe for the major leagues, and every league in the country
would have a place to look to fr the purpose of repemshing the men taken
by the leagues ranking above them.
Under the present plan every minor league in the country is rdded of
its star players and the following win ter there is a great scramble o get
together a good team for the coming season.
"The manager who succeeds n getting men taken by the major league
clubs must pay the price, and, in almost every instance 1t amounts to more
than he received for the good ones he lost. There is a discrepancy some
where"

sent the superior city of u State I'M
be backed by THE EVENING STAR,
superior to the former Newark STAR,

paper in the State. Contenders for the
team will surely be c~ontenders for the
pennant under S%tallings. Battlers, for
we know they will fight every inch OF
the way. Bucks, because 1t is short,
catchy and the word itself implies
bravery. You ask for a name denoting
aggressiveness. II those I have men
