A. L. DIRECTORS TAKE
UP DETROIT'S PROTEST

NEW YORK, November 4.-The
American Leagues internal fight is
still on. A call has been issued for a
special meeting of the board of direc-
tors at the Hotel Biltmore tom
at II o'clock in the morning, for the
purpose of considering the action of
the Detroit club in protesting payment
of the world series share to the play
ers of the New York Yankees on the
ground that Carl Mays was not eligi-
BILE to pitch.
The meeting has been called by
Charles A. Comiskey of the Chicago
White Sox, Harry Frazee of the Bos-
ton Red Sox and Col. Jacob Rupert of
the New York Yankees, who are on
one side of the fight, and who, as it
happens, make up majority of the
board of directors.
The Yankees beat the Detroit I'll
gers by a narrow margin for third
place, and so earned a share in the
world series receipts. The national
commission has held up the payment
of this share at the request of the De-
troit club.

But things have not been moving
any too smoothly in the way of de-
velopment of material down at An

by graduation have handicapped Do
bic and the Navy far more than they
were first supposed. 1t is impossible
for the imagination to picture coach
ing even under the charge of Com
manders Howard and Dobie that
of this year to equal that of 1918.
And foot ball fans and observers are
gradually beginning to appreciate
! this. Meantime. West Point under
Coach Daily, is making the most
strenuous efforts to build up a team
that shall maintain the prestige of
the Army. The truth is that West
Point has far better schedule than
Annapolis. In fact. the defeat by SYRIA
cuSe may prove the salvation of the
Army team. Navy has too easy run
of games and is not likely to get the
kind of severe shakeups that are
necessary to develop the real strength
| under adversely. There is one fortu-
nate phase of this. in that Dobie'S
coaching is of the kind that keeps all
his men, particularly his backheld
well up to the mark through the
stimulus of competition. He is never
satisfied that he cannot make bet
ter man out of a new man than out OF
an old one, and this will. in a measure.
offset the tendency to slack when a
seasons schedule is not suHlclentiy
stiff. But. just the same, real expert
ence only comes in the hardest kind
of games. and nobody realizes more
than does Commander Howard that

test his men will go up against far
harder proposition than any they
have faced in earlier seasons play.

Little Minors Complain

Fultz's optimism undoubtedly reflects
The sentiment in his own circuit, the
American Association and the Pacific
Coast League, the king bees, but judged
by the grumblings emanating from the
ranks of the smaller minors does not
hold good for the latter. They argue they
have been the real sufferers with the
draft eliminated and contend, more
over, that the class IA leagues have
broken faith by violating the national
association clause prohibiting the TAX
ing of major league players under
optional agreement.
What the smaller minor leagues in
tend to do is force the three leading
circuits of the association to return to
the conditions prevailing prior to this
year by voting to again put the draft
system into effect and to withdraw from
the meeting if the big minors refuse
to accede- The circuits in the lower
classifications are confident that if they
decide among themselves to enter into
a drafting arrangement with the ma jors
the big minors must follow, as it would
be impossible for the class AA clubs to
compete with the majors in getting
young talent if the majors have direct
access to it via the draft

Smaller Leagues Will

meeting of the National Association
of Minor Leagues gets under way at

With the game restored to a state
of pre-war prosperity. the leaders

arisen in regard to the draft rule.
At Odds on Exemption.
Exemption from the operation of
this system granted last winter by
the majors at the earnest solicitation
of the minor leagues, now hailed in
some sections among the latter as a
boon. is being denounced in others
as sounding the death knell of pros

the draft plan in vogue up to a year

operation. is going to precipitate a

the battle to revert to the old order
of things by announcing that his as
ISOLATION is committed to the pIan

the majors and minors, and that he
will attend the Springfield powpow

The Army-Navy foot ball situation
is worth a great deal of study at this
time. for it is the elimination of a
series of events which have had a
very important effect upon foot ball
in the academies.
Previous to the outbreak of the
war West Point had a run of victo-
ries, beginning when, by the use of
the forward pass, with Merrilat on
York a Navy team which was con-
sidered one of the best aggregations
that Annapolis had ever turned out.
Later Oliphant was the star of the
Army team, and in the last game, al
most unaided, defeated Annapolis,
running the length of the field at the
very outset of the game.
Something over two years ago An
napolis secured the services of Gill
mour Dobie, the coach who had been
so successful in the northwest, and
for the last two years he has turned
out eleyens that would have entered
the West Point game favorites had
there been contest. True. Annapo-
lis was defeated by Great Lakes last
year, out SO Tar as the actual run
ming plays were concerned in the
game even the winners would be
ready to admit that Navy would have
entered second contest with them
the favorites. 1t will be remembered
that Annapolis had scored one touch
down, but had failed to convert the
goal, and at the very end of the game
was on Great Lakes goal line, in
possession of the ball, ready to go
over for second score, when a Navy
back fumbled the ball. A Great Lakes
man recovered it and ran the length
of the field with it, or rather to the
20-yard line. where an Annapolis man
who rushed from the side lines
tackled him; but the officials allowed
a touchdown. Then Great Lakes
kicked the goal, winning, to 6.
OF course, in losing Oliphant West
Point lost the star of it's backfield for
the last two years of play; and while
Annapolis under Dobie has been i'm
proving very markedly. there has
been nothing to indicate that the
Army has made less progress. When
this season opened in September and
the Academy game was scheduled for
the end of November people began
to predict a Navy year. In fact, so
far as the calendar year is concerned
the Navy naturally wishes to COM
plete a really remarkable record, for
it won in base ball and the crew was
the best of the year. If the Middies
can finish up with foot ball victory

Big Minors Satisfied.

The line of cleavage is drawn sharp
" between the minors of highest
classification and those below, the
latter of which comprise the great
majority of the National Associations
membership. The attitude of the
ranking organizations is that exemp-
Jion from the draft has been great
boon to the minors and is voiced by
Dave Fultz, president of the New In
1ernational League and member of
Hhe national board, the executive
body of the minors. Fultz contends
that much of the returned prosperity
of the International is attributable to
freedom from the draft. He says it
gave the clubs more prestige with
their own fans, cites the fact that 1t
has increased the value of minor
league clubs from last winter to the
present and declares that in the long
run exemption from the draft will be
of value to the players.
I 1.-THE renewed interest which this
draft exemption has brought to our
league and others situated as we are
