|DRAFT OF MOBILE
PLAYER SET ASIDE
Stock Not Subject to Draft.
Sold Prior to Draft
ing Season

Mobile, September 19-If minor
league club owners were ever backed
into corner and forced to enter a
guessing contest. the adoption of the
resolution offered by c. IL. Ebbetts to
give second division teams in both ma
ior organization preference in draw
ing clubs from which players may be
drafted, the Broowlyn magnate has
surely put an end to the technical vio-
lation of the annual lottery law as con-
Quoted by the National commission.
Until the commission announced the
list of players selected, 1t is doubtful
if one magnate in 20 knows just where
he stands. A number of men have been
drafted but it is very likely that q
batch will be disallowed, they were
either sold prior to the opening of the
drafting season or the same club stands
to lose more than one man, which is a
direct violation OF the rules.
or. the drafts for Southern leaguers
that will be disallowed is that of the
Boston Nationals on Shortstop Stock
ject to draft, as Mique Finn disposed
of the inflelder to the Giants three
weeks before the expiration of the time
limit allowed to sell players.
Dispatches from Milwaukee state
that Larry Gilbert, a New Orleans boy,
has been drafted by the Boston Ma
tionals. Gilbert belonged to the Peli-
cans for few minutes last spring, but
the local club lost out, as Manager
Frank consummated deal with the
manager of the club from which Gill
bert was bought while the club owner
disposed of the player to Milwaukee.
Gilbert, though not 800 hitter, has
made Milwaukee good outfielder, and
leads the American association in stolen
bases. His average is about .26O.
