Cod Now on All the Fishing Grounds.

Martin Murray OF Wreck Lead telephonet
last Saturday that the George NJ. had jusi
docked with a big catch OF cod and tina,
these luscious fish. Tho day before the
catch had been just as great and, in fact
every recent trip had netted great messes OF
cod
George Wilson. who runs the Alert out OF
Wreck Lead, says that the catches aboard
his boat during the week were nothing short
Of phenomenal. The fish were located OF
the double quick on the scalop bait. A.

What Tearney wants. according to his
statement, is a draft that will, among
other things. prevent a big league club
from drafting a player and then dispos-

price in excess of the draft figure.

Draft Is Essential Legality.

Judge I.andis Is determined that the
Graft shall be readopted. He regards
the question as far more important than
the major league club owners themselves
regard IL. The Judge sat in the famous
Federal League case against organized
baseball and he knows just where the
leagues and their organization are vul-
rerable in a court OF law. The absence
of the draft is the tendon Of Achilles OF
organized baseball.
The Judge explained his position and
the position OF organized baseball at the
meeting of the Advisory Council, which
was attended by John Heydler, Ban
johnson. Mike Sexton, head OF all the
minors, and John Farrell, their secre-
tary. ]. Conway Toole, president OF the
international League, and PRESIDENT
Hickey of the American Association
were present by invitation. The minors
said they were willing to go back to the
draft II 1t were made equitable.
There will be another session OF the
Advisory Council to-day. at which
definite proposition will be formulated
for discussion at the annual meetings OF
the American Association and the coast
League and the adjourned meeting OF
The international in February. IL ls
certain. we believe, that all the minors
Will be back in the draft by next Oc-
tober.
Judge Lands made a trenchant speech
in favor of the draft at the annual
meeting Of the Baseball Writer'S Asso-
citation early in the afternoon. He saidi
Baseball calls itself the American
game, and 1t says that II embodies the
highest type of sportsmanship. 1t calls
itself a real sporting proposition.
Therefore, IL this is true, II should nave
no condition which is both un-American
and not sportsmanlike.
''rt Is not right that any club owner
in Rockford, Ill, shall be able to say
10 a rising young ball player that he
shall not 20 up to a league of higher
classification. No man shall have the
right TO stop any player from advanc-
ing In his profession. There must be an
automatic means for his advancing-and
that means Is the draft. It's cardinal
principle. and baseball must have 1t or
discard the idea that IL Is American
and a sport Each side must make con-
cessions and we must arrive at satis-
factory solution"
The Class AA League asked the ma
iors 10 change the rule which permits a
unaior league club to take over the ter
ritory OF a minor league club IL II pays
The minor league 5000 and makes salts
factory financial arrangements with tho
minor team. The request was passed
on TO the advisory council. There was
no discussion OF the transforming rule
which got Babe Ruth into trouble, but 1t
may come up to-day.

Plenty of Cod Coming Into Freeport.

with plenty OF cod for the last two weeks

Several New Angles.

The proposition Of including player
1n the drafting price is an entirely new
one. and in the long run may provide the
happiest solution of the question. The
minors in that way would get not only a
financial return for their development
of players, but would also get sufficient
replacemcnts who would have no major
league strings attached to them.
The $500 proposal is the old one.
brought up at the meeting last January
and reaffirmed by the minors at their
recent meeting in Buffalo. The clause
about returning n player at half price
to Class AA clubs is another new angle.
1T has been suggested that all players
released 10 the minors by the major
leagues shall be submitted to the Class
AA leagues for their waivers.
This scheme, II is argued, would make
It easier for the Glass AA minors to get
their men and would make 1t impossible
for a major club to plant Glass AA
player in a league of low classification,
where IL may have a farm. This abuse
has existed.
The majors once more brought for
ward the proposition that they Will pay
So 900 for Class AA players whom they
may draft-and they refuse to permit
the minors to tell them where they may
send their castoffs However, there was
an entirely new atmosphere at the meet
ing As Judge Lands said, there was
spirit Of cooperation and willingness TO
meet the minors half way.
