stars. McGovern and Jonnston, on the side

like a coal HEAVIER to round his proteges

Omaha was a sad blow 10 Minnesota's
chances, but when scrappy little McGov-

flowing. AS that game was won by a
comfortable margin the rooters felt no i'm

LANE FAVORS NAMING
STALWART CANDIDATE
south Dakota Republican Talks Com
corning Next Race for NOmi-
nation of Governor.

MITCHELL, S. D., Nov. 12.-(Special.) >
Thomas w. Lane, one of the wheel-horses
of the stalwart faction, and the first man
to organize a Taft club in the state shortly
after the presidents candidacy was pro-
jected, and which acted as an incentive for
other Taft clubs to be organized, is out
spoken for a stalwart candidate for gov
ernor.
TT republicans Of the state" said Mr..
Lane, ARE going to put up a ticket that
will be a winner in the primary election to
be held next summer, but 1 am speaking
simply my own views on the matter.
For governor" continued Mr.. Lane,
there are two mighty strong men who can
win over the other faction at the primary.
They are Samuel H. Elrod and Charles N.
Herried, both of whom have served as
governor of the state, and are men whose
administration are practically beyond the
pale of criticism. 1 am particularly in
favor of Sam Elrod, for he put up about
the best administration that the state has
ever had, and this is no reflection on the
work Of Mr.. Herried. Citizens of the state
have but to look at the record of Mr.. Ell
rod, with reference to the taxes, to learn
Via a splendid record he made, and he
can duplicate it again. He is without ques-
ton the logical candidate for the stalwart
faction.
Governor Wesley will doubtlessly be a
candidate for denomination at the primary,
and while he is a resident Of my own
county, 1 do not feel called upon to re-
nounce what l consider is the best thing
for the state. The fact that he held but
one term does not have anything to do with
the situation, and should not have any in
fIuence on the selection, for the reason
that the insurgents did not take this into
consideration when they put up Crawford
against him and then defeated him for the
nomination at the Sioux Falls convention"

VALLEY TITLE THE GOAL
Drake-AIissOuri Game Today May
Settle Championship.

COLUMBIA, Mo, Nov. ~12.-(Special.) y
Drake, said to be the strongest team in
Iowa, will invade Columbia tomorrow to
play Missouri, as yet also indicated, a
rect bearing on the Missouri Valley con-
ference championship than any game yet
played. That Coach Roper and the Tigers
fear the result OF brakes invasion Is
shown by the fact that secret practice has
been the order all week, and by the fur
ther tact that many changes. are being
made in the lineup and style Of play.
Shifts and changes have marked this
weeks practice under cover. Gllchrist,
former star, and Rolla, recruit, Is playing
regularly at right tackle in place of Cove;
Wilder's sickness has meant that Alex
ander and Glare assume regular fullback
positions; Deatherage has replaced Hall
and will start the Drake game at left half
back; Hackney is again in the, game, this
time at left end in place Of Idler, and his
boot is expected TO keep the Tiger goal
out OF danger; Thatcher has sufficiently
recovered to go back into his regular right
guard position. and Bressler, a ~195-pound
sub center, has been placed on the train
signs Of weakening. These shifts lessen
the weight to something like a 160-pound
average, but greatly strengthen the Of
tense by adding speed and better capacity
for open play.
Should Missouri lose to Drake, the Tig-
ers expect to still be in the running for
the Missouri valley title until after the
Kansas game. for Ames. a team which
Missouri played to a draw, is expected to
nut Drake out Of the running even II
Roper's charges fail.
Former games between Drake and Mis-
souri, have resulted as follows:

A rule providing that players must be
under contract before they can play a
game with a club was also adopted. For
merly the time allowed to a player to sign
a contract varied from seven to fifteen
days or games.
IL was also decided to follow In the wake
Of the major leagues in the punishment Of
contract and reserve jumpers. The new
rule provides a suspension Of five years
for breaking a contract and three years
for violating a reserve.
Furman Smith Of the Carolina assocla-
ton, advocated the adoption OF a flat
drafting price from the four classes OF
leagues and the matter was referred to the
National board for action, the idea being
that If a player from a Glass d league Is
considered worthy Of draft by a major
league club then he Is worth as much to
that club as a Glass A player.
A. d. Helms Of the Roanoke, Va, league
club asked that the classification Of a
league be based upon average population
of its circuit. The question was referred
to the National board. Helms advanced the
theory that the present rule did not do
justice to leagues having only four or six
clubs in their circuits.
Following is the present basis Of CLASH
fication and that proposed.

MINORS RENEW AGREEMENT
Life Of National Base Ball Associa-
ton Extended Until 1921.
CHANGES MADE IN CONSTITUTION
President O'Nem of western League
is Appointed Member Of the
National BOARD of Arbi-
trntion.

MEMPHIS. Aenn., Nov. 12-The extern
sion OF the life Of the National Association
OF Minor Leagues Of Professional Base
Ball clubs until September 6, 1921, and the
selection OF Chicago as the next meeting
place were the principal features Of the
closing session Of the annual meeting Of
the association here today. The National
Board Of Arbitration will probably remain
here until Saturday disposing Of the large
number Of cases on its calendar.
The National Association made one or
two other changes in its constitution con-
corning the signing OF contracts, the pro-
motion of the welfare Of the players and
the punishment to be melted out to those
who fail to live up to their contracts or
violate their reserve clauses. Suggestions
concerning the flat drafting price from all
leagues and a change in the method of
classification were referred to the Ma
tional board.
It was decided that the National board
should meet several days before the Ma
tional association in the future and thus
clear up all the minor cases before the
big meeting is started.
Agreement L. Renewed.
The committee on the revision Of the
constitution recommended that the Ma
tional association renew the agreement for
ten years or until September 6, 1921. The
present agreement was entered into at
Chicago on September 6, 1901, and was to
run for ten years, or until 1911. Some MEM
bers were of the opinion that the agree
ment expired in 1910 and It was desired to
renew It this year rather than to take
any chances of some Of the members
feeling that It expires next September.
President Norris L. O'Neill of the West
ern league and w. II. Lucas of the North
west league voted against the renewal Of
the agreement at this time, advancing the
theory that next year would be a better
time to do it. Both O'Neill and Lucas
stated that they did not want 1t thought
they were against the renewal Of the
agreement but that their negative vote was
simply a protest against the renewal at this
time.
Chicago was awarded the next annual
meeting Of the association over Louisville.
The vote on the question was nine for
Chicago, five for Louisville, two for Rock
Island and one for New York. The cam
paign for Chicago was led by President
O'Neill of the Western league. Several
members were in favor of holding the
