TECH AND BUSINESS MEET TOMORROW
IN SEASONS BIGGEST FLOOR CLASH

Technical and Business High School
basketball teams will play tomorrow
in the big game Of the season. The
Manual Trainers and Stenographers,
tied for the leadership OF the league,
will stack up against each other at
the Y. NJ. c. a.
The records Of the quints are above
question. Both have lost two games
and, strangely enough, to the same
team, Gonzaga Both have gone
through the scholastic series defeat
ing the same three teams.
The battle is expected to draw out a
full quota of students. A win for
either team will assure a commanding
lead in the series, the first half of
which will be concluded tomorrow.
Business will probably play Held.
Schaffer, Williams, Goetz and Col
burn. Tech will play Aaronson, Cos
nell, Loehler, Parker and Winkjer.
Earl Fuller, OF the Y. NJ. c. A, will
referee.
While Tech is meeting Business
Central will play Eastern. The Cen
trail boys will have a full program
this week, as they meet Eastern Tues
TplSCopdl OH anu
then come back for another battle
with Episcopal the last OF the week.
Faculty athletic advisers will get
together today to straighten out sew
eral difficulties which have been
cropping up in the administration of
scholastic athletics.
The question Of training during the
holidays, the playing of questioned
athletes and the various programs for
track and swimming will be talked
over.
The high school basketball series is
by no means decided. While Tech
and Business appear to be out front
by a wide margin. both Central and
Western are still capable of causing
several upsets before the title is
awarded.
Central looks to be stronger in
each game. The Mt. Pleasant lads
seem to be improving steadily. While
the Central lads are by no means as
strong as they were last season, they
are coming forward rapidly.
Western, with Breese, Groves. and
Pepper in condition. will be a formid-
able combination. These lads can
shoot and play the floor well and
when worked into a smoother com
bination will make both Business and
Tech travel fast for a victory.

Only Nine Are Left.

"only nine minor leagues of any
Importance are left OF some fifty
odd number Of years ago. The go
ing has been hard and am strong
ly in favor of something being done,
II possible, to help them build on a
stronger foundation, but too many OF
their ills are charged to the major
leagues.
"-As a matter OF fact. the majors
have been more helpful than hurtful,
and personally do not see how the
elimination of the draft rule would
serve as a cure"
Today early arrivals among the
magnates in New York will discuss
these problems now facing the "a
tional game. Tomorrow they will
come before the New International
League in its morning session nd
also before the National Association
OF Minor Leagues in the afternoon.
The demands will be codified for pre-
sentation before the big fellows on
Thursday or Friday.
The Washington times., 1919-01-13

The American Association, through
President Hickey, has announced Its
acceptance Of the draft rule in base
ball. but 1t is whispered that there
are several magnates N that circuit
who are willing to fight against it il
enough support can be obtained from
other Class AA organizations.
The minor leaguers claim that they
cannot make money on their invest
ments when they yearly lose their
best players in the draft. They say
that their fans have tired OF seeing
the stars advanced to major league
clubs Baltimore is especially loud in
its howls against the draft. but IL has
some supporters around the country.
what Big Fellows Say.
On the other hand, the major league
megnates claim that the draft must
remain, IL only in fairness to players
who should reach the summit OF their
profession by playing with the fastest
teams in the land. They say that IL
would be manifestly unjust to compel
another Ty Cobb to play all his days
in Baltimore, for instance, when he
might be. drafted by a major league
club and rapidly developed to his ul-
innate ability. ..
Personally" says John A. Hey6ler.
president OF the National League. 81
am heartily in favor OF the draft rule.
1t is the one sure way for a player to
advance in his profession, as without
1t an owner could stand in the way of
q mans going to a league OF higher
classification by refusing any price
which might be offered for mis- release.
The players need protection as
much as the clubs and the leagues,
and they get this protection better
through the operation Of the draft
than through any other plan yet 6e-

To Give Griff Hearing.

Clark Griffith will be given a
hearing by the magnates regarding
his scheme for the improved govern
nent Of baseball by the abolition OF
all sales and trades of players, and
for the installation OF a one-man
National Commission. Griffith's p an
Is practically the antithetsis Of that
demanded by the Glass "A mog1Is-
He would keep only the draft, doing
away with everything else
A more radical suggestion COLD
hardly have been offered to the mag
mates. but Clark Griffith believes
tion, IL the national game is to pros
per. He has devoted much time to
thinking over the problems facing
club owners, and he insists that his
scheme is the best in sight.
After riding across the sport pages
in the largest type for months. the
question OF Garry Herrmann's longer
tenure of the office Of National Com
missions chairman is taking a back
seat with the approach of the big
baseball meeting. John Heydler'S
election as head of the National
League has had a most soothing ef-
feet upon all the leaders. They have
ceased calling each other names in
the public prints. But Herrmann's
position in baseball is not strength
ened by silence.
Expect Few Changes.
The wisest baseball men look for
few changes in the government OF
the game. and, therefore, IL would
not be surprising to have a three
man National Commission remain
and with Garry Hermann as its
chairman
John Heydler has been ordered to
vote for q one-man commission, but
IL . three-msn commission is to be
adopted. Heydler's magnates have
instructed him to vote against the
tenure Of Hermann. So far as
known. the moguls have not changed
their minds in this matter. But
there is nothing to prevent this
change at the last moment.
Another important matter to be
decided by the magnates this week is
the proper division OF worlds series
profits. The fans are not now think
ing much about this. but they are
always greatly interested when the
blue ribbon games come along in the
fall All efforts will be made to
make Impossible such scandals as
