NEW YORK, December 12.-At the Ma
donal League meeting yesterday Charles
H. Ebbets presented his scheme of
drafting players. The Brooklyn magnate':s
plan will prove beneficial to the second
division clubs. as the weaker teams will
have first pick.
According to the plan arranged by Eb-
bets there shall be sixteen draft Selec-
tons, which shall be awarded to the six
teen major league clubs. The National
and American League will be determined
by lot which shall have the odd number
ed selections and which the even num-
bered. The league securing the odd num-
bers will start at the bottom and award
number one to the eighth place club,
number three to the seventh place club.
and SO on up to the first place club. which
shall receive number fifteen.
The league securing the even numbers
shall award the selections In the same
manner, number two going to the eighth
place club and number four to the sew
enth place club. and so on until number
sixteen is awarded to the first place
club.

proven unsatisfactory I'm the past to the

All sorts Of friction in rival clubs Is
sure to result from the Tinker deal. Nc
matter where the Cincinnati player may
land the clubs which fail in making a
deal for him will have to put UP with
players. IIer3og. for instance. was led
to believe that he could get away from
the Giants and become the manager OF
tho Reds. IF the deal does not &c
through, and II is not likely that it will.
Herzog is not going to feel like working
his head off for the Giants.
The offer Philadelphia made to trade
Knabc and Doolan for Tinker and Groh is
going to have similar effect on the
former pair. Realizing that their club
was willing to trade them. knabe and
Doolan are apt to lose the interest in
their team which they formerly displayed
ANY time a players name is mentioned in
a proposed deal which fails to material
ize it has detrimental effect on his
playing.
Knabc and HerZog both have the man

is so stung he needs a change of teams
to be able to show to his best advantage
1t takes a smart. or lucky man TO win
it takes a wise man to lose gracefully
The passing of T. J. Lynch as president
Of the National League marked him AZ
a man of more attachments than his op
ponents ever admitted. He said:
in choosing your next president yol
have gone on record as wanting mar
who will lend dignity and prestige to the
league. In your selection of Gov. Tenei
you have the right man: but hope you
will inject some of the dignity expected
of him into yourselves, and be a help in
stead of q hindrance to him. In leaving
the office I want you to know that there
is no i'll feeling on my part wish the
National League and its president all
the success in the world.
Mr. Lynch spoke the truth. He knows
of the lack of dignity. the petty bicker-
ings. the desire to get the long end for
ones self which has characterized the
typical National League masnate for 10

| 'The National League spends most % its

The National is to be congratulated on
electing man for term of four years,
thereby insuring that much peace, at
least.
AS for Mr.. Lynch. nobody on the out
side ever entertained any ideas but that
he was a good president. Only the mag
mates seemed dissatisfied.
Joe Tinker adds difficulty to the situa-
ton by declaring that he does not propose
to play with any of the eastern teams.
even though he is traded there. He wants
to play with either Chicago or Pittsburgh.
While this may be q bluff purely to help
his former teamnate. Johnny Evers. to
his services yet it viii have some effect
on the offers of the eastern clubs. Tinker
no doubt feels that after having given the
National League twelve or fifteen years
service he is entitled to have something
to say as to where he finishes his career.
4 judge of the New York supreme
court having decided that the New York
National League club must pay u certain
share of the worlds series receipts of
191.. to the National League. the commits
sion has turned over $4,000 which will
be equally distributed among the eight
clubs of the circuit.
Not satisfied with this decision, how
ever. the New York club is also holding
up the share of the receipts from the
series of 1913. and it is likely that this
matter, too. will be left to a turist to
decide. 1t seems to be the object of the
New York club to block all legislation,
which, because of its winning pennants,
makes il the apparent goat.
