FARMING PRACTICE HURTFUL
TO WEAKER MAJOR TEAMS

So many minor league ball players are
tied up by the big leagues that some
thing is bound to break soon In the
shape Of a move to have the national
commission pass new rules restricting
the practice. Some Of the weaker clubs
in the National and American leagues
are finding fault with the methods en-
ployed by the stronger clubs in this d.
rection and soon there may be some Bit
ter talk right out in open meeting.
It appears that several OF the clubs
that have winning teams and conse-
quently are overburdened with money to
spend for new talent are reaching out for
all the available minor league players.
whether they can use them or not. ard
are sewing them up in such manner
that the losing clubs cannot in any way
secure them. The scouts of the weaker
teams invariably find that when good
player is spotted by them he belongs to
a pennant winner or a club that has a
position near the top OF the heap. A
champion team may be well equipped
with pitchers. catchers infielders, and
outfielders, yet it is charged that the
owner has strings on at least double the
number OF regular players planted in the
minor leagues. In many cases II Is
shown that these desirable minor league
players are kept out of good positions in
the major leagues because the men who
control their services have no room for
them. Yet the weaker teams have no
chance to get them for love or money,
the big fellows, governed by selfish mo-
tives, being afraid to let their chattels
go.
In major league circles 1t is freely ad-
mitted that before another year the

American circuits must be strengthened
In some way. II present methods con-
tinue to prevail 1t is argued that this
task Will prove almost impossible, but
that II the stronger clubs are compelled
to relinquish their claims upon first class
timber that cannot be used by them the
weaker teams will profit thereby. In
providing a remedy IL has been suggested
that each major league club be compelled
to give up players held IN minor leagues
at the order and discretion OF the COM
mission. II a weaker club wants or
needs one OF these players, II Is pointed
out that a claim can be filed. which the
commission can pass upon. II II is
shown that a strong club doesn't need
the talent thus covered up It will be an
easy matter for the commission to reach
a conclusion.
Much legislation has been passed to
prevent the farming evil. but there al
ways has been a way TO evade the law.
In view Of the distressing plight OF at
least half a dozen major league clubs II
is the prevalent opinion that. the base
ball governors must do something radi-
cal TO relieve the existing conditions.
Just why the moneyed clubs should be
allowed to hog everything is a puzzle in
view Of the fact that big profits can be
made II the second division teams can be
improved

OWEN MORANLOSBS
TO JACK WHITE

Los Angeles, July a.-Jack White, the
I2s-pound boxer, of Chicago, was award
ed the decision over Owen Moran, OF
England, on a foul in the ninth round Of
a slow and uninteresting fight at the
Vernon Arena this afternoon.
The fight was an unsatisfactory one
from the beginning. and when Moran
was disqualified by Referee Eyton, 800
sun-baked boxing enthusiasts went home
disguised with the show. Moran was
only the wreck of the premier English
boxer of former years. but at that he
had the lead on points when the fight
ended. Every round found Moran the
aggressor and White on the retreat and
countering whenever opportunity offered
Moran began using his elbows early In
the fight and was repeatedly warned by
the referee. Eyton stopped the fight In
the sixth round and told the Englishman
that II he did not stop his fouling tactics
he would disqualify him Moran fought
fair until the ninth. In a clinch he
struck White in the face three times
with his elbow in such a deliberate man.
ner that blind man could have seen 1t.
The referee stopped the fight at once and
awarded the decision to White. e.

Electric Lights for kinStree

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found a notice of the opening of
books of subscription to the capital
stock of The Kingstree Electric
Light and Ice Co on Saturday next.
1t will be gratifying to the pro-
gressive citizens Of kingstree to
know that the prospect of better
lights for our beautiful little town,
our homes and places of business is
at last assuming definite shape. A
further source of qualification is the
intimation of a local ice manufact-
uring plant in connection with the
lighting plant. At present the ice
consumed by our citizens is shipped
from Georgetown and Florence,
and due to an enormous waste, a
natural incident in the transporta-
tion of this necessary commodity, it
costs US much more than if supplied
by we'll patronized local plant,
hence the project should 5ave the
cooperation of our town council and
the encouragement of every resident
of Kingstree.
The incorporators of these much
needed additions to the public well
fare are public-spirited gentlemen,
and we are quite convinced that the
projects will be carried forward to
an early and successful completion.
