TWO BIG CLUBS
NOT SATISFIED
Major and Minor Leagues
Find no Common Ground
In Discussions.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Sensa-
tional developments ushered in the
week OF baseball reconstruction
work which began here Tuesday. The
most important were: The New York
National club. the best paying prop
osition in the major leagues, was
sold; negotiations for the purchase
Of the st. Louis Nationals reached
a stage where IL appeared as though
the property would soon change
hands.
The major and minor leagues
took lengthy council and strength
ened their hands for the battle for
and against the elimination of the
draft.
IN its far-rea ching effect the con-
test between the majors and minors
was the outstanding feature OF the
day OF conferences. Members Of
the big and little circuits were liz

ana late into the night. While the
rnagnates OF both groups were chary
OF information regarding the prog
ress made. il was evident that no
common ground had been reached
at a late hour tonight. The new In
ternatiOnal league, through it's pres
! ident David L. Fultz, announced
after a long conference that the con-
sensus OF opinion was still strong
ly in favor of the abolition of the
draft and the league went on record
10 that effect.
So far as could be gathered from
F! the individual expressions OF the
big leaguers. they are not disposed
TO grant the demands of their lit
tie brothers, but arc not adverse TO
ompromising the question.
The attitude of the National
LEAGUE will be discussed at a meet
ing tomorrow afternoon. At least
two big clubs in the league are not
satified with the plans mapped out
for adoption within the next few
days. Limitation of the club roster
10 Is players, restricted spring
training periods and even the 14O-
game schedule will DE discussed t.nd
efforts made 10 change the tenta-
tive arrangements made in these di-
rections. The new owners of the
New York club are said TO be i'm
favor of a more liberal policy and
may advocate wider latitude on
these and other proposed innova-
tons.
While the sale OF the St Louis
Nationals is considered highly prob
able. such ICal could not be COM
pleted in time for the new stock
holders TO appear at the conference.

BOWLING PR0PHESY

Bowling in South Bend will boom

statement made last night by War
rem Hickey, an authority on bowling.
and holder of some record scores
made at the Orpheum alleys.
During the time was in service
I talked with all the members OF my
company and there wasn't a man
who didn't participate in the ma
tional indoor pastime at some time
or other. That goes to show that
almost every young American takes
keen interest in this branch of
sport
while / was stationed in Cleve-
land, we had every Saturday after
noon off, and Immediately after
dinner. 40 or more men would go
down town and bowl all afternoon.
I was surprised to see so much in
terest taken in bowling at the lake
city
Yesterday I received a letter
from Charles Bredemus and Louis
Hans. who are at present over in
France under sailing orders They
wrote that they were anxious 10 get
home on some real alleys. and Incl
dentally they challenged any two
men in South Bend for match just
as soon as they got back 10 South

that hey arrived at the front line

With which they expected TO bowl
over at least 500 boches. This was
on Nov. 10. but Hindenburg was
tipped off and cancelled the show
the next day. so they went back and
attacked cognac with much success.
Before the national shoot takes
place in Toledo. K expect TO see a
number Of South Bend teams in such
form that they will be up among the
leaders when the last team has
rolled. With the large number Of
