WABASH COURT
HOPES DUMMED
Adams, Star Forward, FOrgets
to Train and He Is
Dropped.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, Dec. g.
Basketball hopes at Wabash College
slipped back q bit today when Fred
(Cat) Adams, speedy forward on the Lit
tie Giant team for the past two seasons,
was ordered to turn in his suit. The
order came from Coach Vaughan after
Adams failed to live up to the required
training rules.
The absence of Cat" in the Scarlet
lineup this season viii no doubt, be
keenly felt, but things like this come
and 60 in the life of a coach and Vaughan
is no man to worry over these handl-
caps. Yaughan's first request of his ath-
letes is for them to keep in shape and
live up TO the training rules.
The first cut Of the squad came yes
terday when several candidates were
dropped from the list. There are still
many men out for the team, but Vaughan
wiz have his squad cut down to some
thing like fifteen before tie week is
over.
Pete announced last night that a game
has been scheduled here for Feb. %
with Wilmington College of Ohio. he
has not announced any more dates.

TENNIS A WORLD SPORT, SAYS
DONOR OF THE DAVIS TROPHY

men and young women, play tennis in
season on courts established and main
tanned by the public authorities.
Lawn tennis is no longer rich mans
game-tt is every mans game. Lawn
tennis not only has become national1zed
it has become internationaltzed.
At first, two nations only-EDgland and
America-were sufficiently interested to
compete for the cup. This summer thir-
teen nations competed for the cham
pionship of the world in lawn tennis, ana
millions of people all over the earth
watched the results with intense interest.
No other game In the history OF the
world has made such record.
Golf, cricket, polo, baseball and foot
ball have their devOtees in few coun-
tries at most. Interest In lawn tennis
is becoming universal and its enthusi-
asts can now boast that lawn tennis Is
the worlds sport.
Sir Auckland Geddes, the English am
bassador to the United States, at the ban
uuet of the United States Lawn Tennis
Association last winter when the victori-
Gus American team was welcomed home
from it's conquest in Australia, made the
interesting suggestion that these inter
national contests have an important In
fjuenee in promoting better understand
ing and good will among nations. 1t
does not matter what race they come
from, or what language they speak
sportsmen are brothers the world over
The visits of teams competing in inter-
national contests may sometimes do more
good toward building up the entente cor
dale between nations than the visits OF
official commissions and even Of accred-
tied ambassadors.
OF course, the Davis cup did not Of
itself bring about this wonderful devel
opment in the interest Of lawn tennis
throughout the world. The credit for the
development should go to the officials of
the various national associations by
whose energy, self-sacrifice and enthusi-
asm the results have been accomplished.
The cup merely started and focused this
interest.
Intrinslcally, the cup is of compare
lively slight value; sentimentally 1t is
probably the most highly priced trophy
in the world. Its value comes not from
its cost and size, but from those splen-
did things of which it stands as a sym
Dol; a manly sport, hard fought and
clearly played contest, and, above all,
the highest possible standards Of good
craftsmanship.

TO REMAIN AS
LEAGUES RULE
National Association Not to
Make Demands Against
Wishes of Owners.
ALL URGE DISCIPLINE

BUFFALO, Dec. 6-The draft question
is not going to cause any riffs among the
minors.
The leagues that have been getting
along without the draft are going to con-.
tinue to do SO and their stand In the mat
ter is not going to be made an excuse
for strife in the National Association OF
Professional Baseball Leagues.
As the annual convention went into SEES
sion today President Michael Sexton said
that as far as he knew the International
League, the American Association, the
Pacific Coast League and several otneF
minor circuits such as the western
League, viii continue TO operate without
permitting the majors to draft players
from them.
zone of the big objections to the draft,"
said President Sexton, lies In the 1act
that the major league club which drafts
a PLAYER often sends him back to some
other club in the same league from when
he came The fact that he may be sent
back under an optional agreement makes
no difference to the baseball fans in the
town where he made good and II ne plays
against his former teammates ana makes
q good showing, as players geherSuy 40,
the club owner from whose team Ne was
orieinallv drafted comes in for a fine
panning from the fans
saThe club owners do not try to hold
the player down." President Sexton con
timed 'HThey are willing to sell any
Of perfection that he can hold Job In
the big leagues Their only idea is to
keep a good team together as long as
possible, making allowances for the va
caneies that are sure to come In their
Iine-ups.
II do not look for any changes from
the order that was followed this year as
regards the draft. I expect that most of
the leagues viii continue to permit the
majors to draft players as they have
done in the past, but the bigger minors
viii not submit to it."
The first session of the annual conven-
ton of the National Association was
called to order today. Reports for the
year 1921 were to be made at this meet
ing.
There were still lot of rumors about
deals and trades for players, but none
had gone past the talk point.
Magnates here for the annual meet
ing OF the National Association today
generally expressed the opinion that the
best interests of the game demanded the
discipHning of the players, such as
handed out TO Babe Ruth, Meusel and
Piercy by Commissioner Lands. They
believed the severity Of the penalty i'm
posed would have the effect Of putting a
stop to transforming by contestants IN
future world series games.
The fine and suspension Of the players

NEW YORK, Dec. Elm world
f which always offers plenty of themes
ready made and at hand, a topic which
can be approached with nothing but the
most buoyant optimism. Such is the
situation in regard to racing, as eX
empl1fied by the Saratoga meet this year.
Deductions 10 be drawn from several
facts at Saratoga show that racing is in
z splendid condition Of health and at the
top OF its form this year. Let us mar
SHAH these facts and consider them.
First, racing is getting tremendously
constantly made that 1921 has not been a
good year financially, that people have
mad far less money than for several years,
that business has Been by no means
booming, the Saratoga gate receipts, on
almost all corresponding days for 1921
as compared with 1920, were larger.
At week-ends the crowds were moth
ing less than enormous. Nor should
1t De understood for moment that IL
these thousands were brought to tie
track by a desire to bet OF the many
that made their way into the Saratoga
track, hundreds, both men and women
paid because they wanted to see fine
horses running fine races.
Second, the men who make racing POS
sible, by maintaining costly breeding
farms and stables of racers in active
training, proved at Saratoga their
views Of the. solidity Of the. American
turI Dy opening their pocketDookS and
paying high prices for the hun
dreds of yearlings sold there. There
have been two or three instances
of really elaborate prices being paid
for the babies OF the racing world in in
dividual cases this year, but it is not
the paying Of a few sensationally big
prices which proves the good condition
of the turf in the opinion of those who
have their money invested In 1t.
1t IS the average prices which have
been obtained in 1921 which speak so well
for racing soundness. There have been
but occasional instances OF really poor
prices being paid On the whole the
yearlng market has been SO strong that
1t has been a matter Of amazed comment
by men who have compared the lack Of
money in some lines Of business with
the generous display OF cash at the auc-
ton sales of the infants Of the turf.
Third, and this subdivision sweeps In
a number Of remaining points in the
brief for optimism. the class OF horses
racing was high, the races were
well contested and almost always
squarely so; there were no sensation
