relations between the majors ..nd the
minors.
Referring 70 tina; demand johnson
said: The plans We have for restoring
baseball after the war contemplate
building from the ground up. and that
means the abolition OF the National
Association OF Professional Baseball
Leagues. which for years has been in
capable of managing its own affairs. In
fact the great majority Of cases that
have come before the National Comm s.
sion in recent years have been minor
league cases on appeal. We Contem-
plate a reorganization that will provide
better government for the minor
leagues than they have ever enjoyed"
Charles A. Comlskey, owner OF the
Chicago Americans, tonight said he did
not believe that the action OF the minor
leagues In deciding that the major
leagues should draft no more OF their
players would result in baseball war.

Miss Sears hit the ball hard. often
much harder than Kinsella- Several
timG@ she requested KinSella to hit
harder. intimating he was not putting
on enough steam to suit her. She got
In several pretty srnashes close to the
wall, which were commended by her
opponent. Whenever possible. she used
her wicked backhand drives, which
were such a factor In her tennis VIC
tories. However. she also got in some
strong forehand thrusts. and repeat
adly her work was applauded.
In the opinion Of Frank Lafforgue
and James Mullins. the Yale and Rae

second game that Miss Sears showed at
her best She got off to n good start
and soon had Kinsella 13-4. where he
rallied and brought his score up to ten.
when Miss Sears had her chance and
won with two straight points. The third
game also was very close, being tied at
l3--all, and Miss Sears fought hard for
the verdict She was pretty well winded
by that time and Kinsella took the game

the first victory Coburn ever had had

COLUMBIA MEETS WESLEYAN.
Open Attack Instead of
Straight Football.

Judging from the formations run of
by the Columbia eleven In the anal
brushing up yesterday Wesleyan Will
have to face an open attack at South
Field this afternoon. Much attention
was paid TO open play and there was an
abundance OF forward passes. In pre-
vious games this season Columbia has
depended chiefly on straight football
Lieut. Robb will use the same lineup
against Wesleyan as played last Satur-
day. 1t was planned to start Tower on
the line. but on account OF an infected
right arm the young tackle will not gel
into the fray until after the first period.
Modarelll also will be given an oppor-
tunity on the line. and before the game
Ia over Canaperry will snpplant Collins
at right halfback and Robb will turn
the quarterback position over TO DAILY.
Zychiinski will relieve Houlahan OF the
fullbaclI's duties and Kinninger will
move from guard TO centre before tho
