Still Strong for Pat

CHICAGO, Dec 17.-An interesting
battle should develop tonight when the
Butler College quintet Of Indianapolis
engages the Chicago team at Bartlett
gymnasium.
All the dopesters and Chicago grads
probably will be there in force. as this
game viii be a good one from which the
possible strength Of the Chicago five may
be ascertained. Then. too, there VIII be
but few old Midway fans who will miss
this opportunity Of seeing Pat Pages
bunch In action. You see, the former
Maroon player and coach was extremely
popular out south, and the fans are
anxious for Pats success. Also Page
has for an assistant Tony Hinkle, cap
tain and guard on the 1920 Chicago
championship five, and another popular
figure in Maroon athletic annals.
Last year Pat brought his team here
and lost by a small margin, after being
in the lead for a considerable pnrt of
the game. 1t was great stun to sic there
and watch Pats old grin spread over his
face. That's a habit Pat has. 1t was
Just this old familiar grin and phrase,
Come on, bucks" which back few
years ago, when Page was freshman
coach, led the freshmen to do about
twice as much as they ordinarily were
capable Of doing.
Butler has practically the same team
this year as last, and It is now a much
smoother working aggregation because
Of a years experience at playing to-
gether. This experience will go n long
way toward making tonight a tOss-up
affair

HEzE
CLARK
MINORS FAVOR
COIN INCREASE
IN DRAFT CASE
Willing to Submit to Majors
Demand if Price Is Raised
to $500.
OPTIONAL RULE OPPOSED

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-More proposals
for a settlement of the baseball draft con-
troversy will be made today at a meeting
Of the advisory council
Mike Sexton, president of the minor
leagues, says the best proposition the
little fellows would entertain would be to
raise the draft price to $500 and return
the player TO the same club for half the
price if rejected.
To satisfy the fears Of Commissioner
Lands that the ball players may be kept
from advancing by avaricious magnates
the minors may approve of a measure
forcing them to sell when a player asks
to be given chance.
Another amendment may be proposed
accepting the draft provisional on the
consent of the player. Minor magnates
pointed out that they have many players
on their lists who have been up before
and who do not want to go back in fast
company for a bench salary.
Thomas J. Hickey. president of the
American Association, told the council
that his league will not hold a player
against his will, but on the other hand
1t does not want him drafted when he
wants TO stay.
One Of the routine matters disposed of
at the last session of the Joint meeting
was the approval of the rule increasing
the number of players permissible under
option from eight to fifteen. The minors
will oppose this change, according to Sex
ton.
II fail to see how the majors can change
that rule without the consent Of the
minors" he said. Our leagues are full
now with players under major league OPP
tons and We want no more Of them. This
change affects US vitality"
Babe Ruth and his case was not dis
cussed at the league meetings but the
rule under which the swat king got his
fine and suspension was expected to be
considered today at the final session of
the advisory council. Strong sentiment
was expressed by the club owners during
the meetings that the rule should be
either repealed or modified, as it mani
testify is unfair to champion teams. Com
missioner Lands expressed his strong
leaning towards the players so many
thought sure he would entertain mo-
lion 70 wine the rule off the books.
