BUDAPEST GAY
 FOR CEREMONY
 OF CORONATION

Budapest, Dec. 29-The coronation festivities are ir fssH swing here, un der the brightest of winter skies, and Budapest for the time being seems to have forgotten the war. A holiday crowd moves through streets gay with flags and bunting, many of the people in the splendid national garb. The principal thoroughfares are crowded with automobiles, state car riages mounted and unmounted troops, officers in full dress and nobles in Magyar costumes
 withstanding the rain yesterday an unprecedented crowd witnessed the formal entry of King Charles. Visitors came from all parts of the country. Windows along the route were rented for as much as 5000 crowns in some instances, while in one case 21,O0O crowns was paid.
 The inaugural diploma was handed to the King last evening by a deputa tion from both houses of Parliament. Today the King returned the diploma to Parliament with his signature and Parliament administered the oath. New crown guardians were selected by the King. It was an impressive ceremony, the members of both houses, in the Hungarian national costume, assembling in joint session. The coronation ceremony will be be- gun at o'clock Saturday morning.

THREE YEARS AGO JESS WILLARD KNOCKED OUT
 RODEL IN NEW HAVEN

Three years ago, on Dec. 29, 1913, Jess Willard celebrated his birthday by knocking out George "Boer" Rodel ID the ninth round of a bout staged n New Haven. None of the big cowboys early contests better illus Ytrate his rapid improvement than his three bouts with the Boer war rior. In the middle of November. 1915, Willard tackled Rodel in Mil waukee, and George stayed the full 10 rounds. This was Jess first ring contest after his fight with "Bulr' Young in Vernon. Young died soon after this contest. and it may be that Jess didn't put as much punch into his wallops as he could have done when he fought RodeI in Milwaukee.
 Willard had fully recovered his nerve when he neAIhe Boer again in New Haven, and he put over the Knockout punch in the ninth.
 The following April he fought Ro- del again, this, time in Atlanta, and put the Boer to sleep in the sixth chapter. About year later he won the worlds title from Jack Johnson 1n Havana. Rodel was considered o-.e of the pest of the white hopes by Bob FitZsimmons and other Iistic experts, and EVillard's victories over the Boer helped him along the way that led to fame and fortune

BROOKLYN TEAM . WAS HIT HARDEST
 BY PRAYERS LIMIT

It has been pointed out that the reason the 21 player rule was adopted in the first place by the National league was not so much fear of the Federalists as it was a dread of the increasing power of the New York Giants, writes Lester Rice in the Brooklyn Citizen.
 When the rule was made effective the New York club was equipped with a batch of unusually promising youngsters and that team was made to suffer more keenly than any other club by the adoption of the measure.
 But in the end, the rule was retro acted hardest on the Brooklyn club, which is burdened with host of old timers and without the aid of men who might have grown adept in big league methods were they not barred from the big show!
 At one period in the last season the Robins were threatened with disaster by the presence of the 21 player limit There was no substitute Tor Daubert, who had shown signs for some time past of needing assistance, and when the great first sacker became inca pacitated, there was only the awk- ward McCarty to take his place, until the forces in power decided that the acquisition of Merkle was neces- sity.
 fnis instance in itself should have been sufficient warning of the need of preparedness. but apparently it failed to impress Charley Ebbets forci- ply, for instead of backing resolu- tion that would wash away the 2l player rule and place the league on it's former footing, the president of the Brooklyn club submitted an samendment to the National league meeting. calling for a raise in the limit of players from s21 to P and not only was this adopted, but the doing away with the disa bility list feature actually places more limitations on the clubs than was the case under the 21-player rule,

CHANGE IN DRAFT
 SYSTEM ID COME
 DURING NEXT YEAR

New York, Dec. 29-The new drafting system which Charles H. Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn club, has been advocating for several years is again being pushed to the fore by the Flatbush Squire. If Ban Johnson is not able to outvote the two National league members of the Na- tional Commission, John K. Tener and Garry Hermann, the Ebbets plan will be indorsed when the com mission meets in Cincinnati next TuesdlyI
 Ebbets proposed his plan when he had second~division club, and it was rejected. Last winter Ebbets had a first division club, and again he brought the matter to the attention of his colleagues who passed it over to the American league with their approval. However, the American league voted against adopting the EbPets suggestion.
 Now that Ebbets has a pennant winner he still is anxious for the adoption of his plan which aims to assist the tail-end teams His own league again has stamped it's approval on the idea and sent it to the National Commission
 In view of the agitation in the minor leagues for drafting reforms, Ebbets last night sent out a state ment embodying not only his drafting system but all the reforms which it will bring about.
 Ebbets' plan would give each of the 6 major league club numbers. ranging from 1 to 16, the two tail- enders being 1 and g., and the two pennant winners 15 and 16, and the other clubs ranging in between in the order in which the teams finished
 In the draft team would make it's selectionIof any player in the minor leagues fsubiect<to draft Team 2 would have second choice, and so on to 16, when the ladder would be mounted again, starting with team 1. Ebbets also suggests it may be ad- visable to permit each team to se- lect two players at the same time
 Ebbets has added several new fea- lures to his originaF plan. One sug- gests that as sQQn as a clubs list of eligible players reaches 35, including players drafted at the meeting, the club is automatically debsrred from further participation i'll the draft The second would prohibit club from caneelling it's selection after an- nouncing the name of a player draft ed.
