BILL JAMES IN
 GOOD CONDITION
 FOR NEXT YEAR

New York, Dec. 23-There may be a reward coming to Manager George Stallings for his kind and patient waiting in the case of Pitcher Bill James. Big Bill has been hanging on with the Braves since the 1914 season without being of any use to the team. In that memorable 1914 campaign, when the Braves sprang the greatest baseball surprise of a decade, James was one of the leading factors in the clubs success.
 But he hurt his arm before the bar rier was sprung on the race in the 1915 season. and since that time James has been about as useful as snowsh hoes in Patagonia. Still the Braves boss decided to retain him on the salary list. H
 : Now comes report from the Pa cif1c coast that James is likely to be back on the job next season, possibly quite as good as ever. It is only a guess pf course, and fandom will re- fuse to be convinced until James ac- tually delivers.
 This much is known, however: A short time ago James took part in game with a club in the California Winter league. He pitched three inn- 1ngs and looked as good as ever. Fur. thermore, he declared after his per- formance that his arm felt fine, and he believed he would be able to take his regular turn for the Braves next season. Welcome news to am bilious sluggers in the National league not.

MINORS WANT CHANGE IN RULE
 ABOUT DRAFTS

New York, Dec. 23-The National Commission will meet in Cincinnati on Jan. 2. and at that time will start the new year by taking up the various matters that have been referred to it by the two major leagues.
 Committees from the minor leagues will be present to urge the requests that they consider necessary for the welfare of their organizations Some of these requests appear to be reasonable, while 1t seems as if anyone could see the objections to others. man old in baseball said the other day that while the minors knew that they felt mighty sick they still had two things to discoverTwhat ailed them and the remedy.
 The A leagues have asked the abolition of the draft The players should be the first to object to this- 1t would mean that by refusing to sell him to major league club an owner could keep a star playing minor league baseball all his life.
 Then there is the request that the draft be made by players instead of by clubs. There is no reason that the 1ninors desire it. Under the present system if the Giants wish John Doe and the Robins wanted Richard Doe of the Buffalo club they both put the name of the club in the draft.
 Then they draw straws or toss a coin to see which gets the club, and the winner names the player 1t de- sires. No one is supposed to tell that any other man from that club was wanted Under the system of drafting by name the Giants and Robins each would name their player. Then if John Doe was drawn Richard Roe would feel that he had been pre- wanted from going to the big league and might nurse a grievances The minors, however, should have their way about this. e ;
 It would seem that the big in- justice of the present drafting sys-. tenn is the fact that a. big league is allowed to cancel a draft or make over its rights to another club In this way 2 major league club that owns an interest in a minor league club or that wants to oblige a fellow club owner can cover up a player and prevent his possible advance menty President Barrow of the In- ternatonal league is prepared to make a fight on this point and he is right without question: It is emil nently unfair. As a matter of fact. only eight men actually were drafted from the A leagues last season.

CLAIM MOVIES TAKE STUDENTS
 FROM SPORTS

New Haven. Dec. 23-That there is an inclination on the part of upper classmen in Yale university to neglect their physical needs by their failure to give as much time ass they should to participation in athletics. is the ar- gument brought out in an editorial appearing in the current issue of the Yale Alumni Weekly.
 The freshmen, according to the edi- torial, show more interest by their participation in sports than do the upper classmen. the percentage being somewhat close to 10 per cent. Fig ures show that 97 per cent. of both freshman classes participated in ma- jor and minor sports during the past fall.
 The charges is made that the upper classmen neglect their physical needs by being lured away to that fast growing indoor sport, the movies 9

 Presumably Richards opinion is based upon the premise that Darcy is here as a sailor and not as an Aus tralian fighter. Rickard may have
 other reasons for believing that Darcy

It is said that he has Darcys signature to

 Australia about a year ago. At that 1 time Kearns was in Australia man. aging Jimmy Clabby, an American

 reported that he was ready after a
 reasonable period of training to box any opponent who might be selected
 by him. He stated that he had kept in moderately good condition by work ling aboard ship during his long trip.

CONNIE MACK SAYS HIS RECRUITS WILL
 SURPRISE HOOTERS

In extending congratulations to Cornelius McGillicudy today on the occasion of the ffty-fourth anniver- sary of his birth in East Brookfield, Mass, 1t would be impolite to make any mention of the tall tutors record in 115 and 116. Remember him only as the hero of six pennants, the gTabber. of more gonfalons than have fallen to the lot of any other baseball tactician in major league history. The Athletics of 1916 are not pleasant memory for Philadelphia, but for 1917 there is hope for better things. It is understood that Connie is going to lay off the college talent and pin his future faith to minor league players.
 Connie believes he has the nakings of some real stars in his recruits from the Pacific Coast, Northwestern, Southern and Texas leagues. It is highly probable that the Athletics will ahow great improvement next year. :. After wrecking his old machine Mack didn't expect to build up another pen nant-winning aggregation in a year or two. He is too old in the game to have any such idea as that. In spite of the miserable showing of the Mack brigade last season, there was quite a bit of wheat mixed in the chaff. Trust Mack pick it out.

YALE BASKETBALL
 TEAM DEFEATED IN
 CRESCENT CONTEST

New york, Dec. 2s-Yale Univera s1tys basketball team engaged the Crescent Athletic club quintet in the lAter'a gymnasium In Brooklyn last night, and the final tally found the New Moon players the victors by a. score of 23 to 20. The game was closeI fly contested, although at times it seemed that both teams passed up splendid opportunities to score. 1t Was thd first game of the New Haven teams Christmas holiday schedule. and while the visitors showed up we'll In the opening half, their work fell off ncticeably in the concluding period, and the Crescent quintet come from behind with vim. to win with a 1three-point margin. ]
 In the opening half the passing of the Yale i've was better than that of the Brooklyn quintet, and the excel. 1ent team work of the visitors helped them to lead at the end of the half by the rather wide margin of 1S to 6.
