MINORS TALK OF
QUITTING GAME
Commission Sets Tight on Plan
to Eliminate Draft; Players
Await Action

New York, Dec. 2S.-while the ma
tional commission sits tight with no
inkling Forthcoming as to what its ver-
diet in regard to the demand of the
big minors for the draft removal likely
will be when it meets next week at
Cincinnati, it becomes more and more
apparent that the little fellows are
firmly determined to obtain their
rights. Following UP a recent report
from Providence that the International
League club there insists that refusal
to lift the draft would practically mean
the closing up of its park, a man
closely associated with the Newark
club said here to-day that that was
just the way the management of the
Indians felt about it.
Fans Want Change
Last year was conclusive proof that
the fans won't ever be satisfied until
the draft comes off and it looks foolish
to continue operating unless some
thing is done to stimulate interest, "
said the informant.
Further, it has been learned that
the International and American AsSo-
citation acted under the belief that
their demand for the draft removal
would be granted when they arranged
an interleague schedule. With both
these big minor circuits able to retain
all their star players great clubs could
be built, and, in couple of years. the
lnterleague games worked up to a
point in interest where they would
closely resemble a worlds series. And
finally, it might come to the point
where the winner of these contests
would engage in series with the vic
tor in the annual fall series between
the pennant-winning teams of the Ma
tional and American Leagues.
