FIFTEEN SCHOOLS
MAY ATTEND MEET
HERE NEXT SPRING

Art Swedburg. director OF ath-
letics at Augustana college, left
this afternoon for q meeting OF tho
Illinois intercollegiate Athletic as
sociation, at Peoria. He announced
that he feels confident the annual
spring basketball tournament Of
this association can be arranged to
be held here next spring.
II this endeavor on his part sue
ceeds, Swedburg said, some great
basket work will be witnessed by
Rock islanders sometime In the
early vernal months. Fifteen OF
the principal colleges OF Illinois are
represented in the organization and
all Of them are strong contenders
on the basketball floor.
It is logical and right that this
tournament should be held In Rock
Island, in view of both its central
location and the advantages offered
by the Augustana college for an in.
door athletic meeting. The big
gymnasium at the school will hold
a crowd Of spectators enormous te
have out for q basketball game
while the quality floor and the size
of the place put Augie's gym away
ahead Of any like structures in THU
region.

CAN'T 'TAMpER
WITH PLAYERS
ON OTHER TEAMS
Nationals Return to Ia Gamo Plan
for 1920 and Choose New
iF Body of Directors.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Nation
al league directors in meeting took
q decided stand against the tam
pering with ball players on rival
clubs. At the session in the Wal
dorf an amendment was adopted
which provided for a fine of $1,000
against q club owner, manager or
official who tempered with a player
on another club, and the drastic
penalty for a second offense will
be expulsion from the league.
In past seasons the cry Of buy
ing remnants and wrecking clubs
has filled the air at various times,
and the club owners for some time
have been trying to adopt . rule
which would put stop to the prac-
tice. All the club owners were
united in the effort to do away with
the Objectionable procedure when
It was offered by President Ebbets
Of the Brooklyn club.
Return to ia Games.
Another important action of the
magnates was q decision to return
to the 154 game schedule. The Ma
tional league decided to start the
season on April II. This date Is
only tentative because the older
organization will not be able to
make its plans until the American
league cooperates.
The 30-day limit which was .plac-
ed on the training season during
war time was lifted and clubs will
now be permitted six weeks for a
training season.
Veeck Elected Director.
The league elected a new board
Of directors, which includes Charles
A. Stoneham of New York, George
w. Grant. Boston; Barney Drey-
fuss Of Pittsburgh, and William
Veeck Of Chicago The league
adopted q new plan for the direc.
tors and each year two western
clubs and two eastern organiza.
lions will be represented on the
board. The clubs will alternate
each year. Hereafter each club il
the league will hold a certificate o.
membership, which is something
new in the National league.

Kansas Governor Asks
Prosecution Of Cotton
Growers Association

1 WASHINGTON, April 1O.-Assist
ant Attorney General Todd today is
giving personal attention to the re-
quest of Governor Allen, of Kansas,
for prosecution of the Southern Cot
ton Growers association under the
Sherman antitrust law. Governor
Allen charged the cotton growers
have combined to reduce the acreage
of this years crop and boost the
price.
His request for prosecution is one
of many similar ones which have
been received recently, departmental
officials said.
Belief that the cotton growers
cannot be reached under the Sherman
law is expressed here by officials
who point out that the law specifi-
cally eXempts associations of farm
ers, in two instances. One mentions
farmers associations in connection
with labor unions which also are eX-
empted when not organized for prof
| it's.
The other clause states that no
part of the annual appropriation for
administration of the Sherman law
shall be expended for the prosecu-
ton of producers of farm products
and associations of farmers who CO.
operate and organize in an effort to
and for the purpose of obtaining and
maintaining a fair and reasonable
| price for their products"
The departments policy toward the
cotton growers has not yet been de-
| termined, it was made clear.
